Risk Disclosure
# Risk Disclosure
**Last updated: 2026-05-11**
Read this before using ICT Autopilot. By signing up, you confirm you have read and understood it.
## Trading carries substantial risk
CFDs, Forex, futures, and gold trading involve high leverage and are not suitable for all investors. **You can lose more than your initial deposit** depending on broker terms and instrument. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you.
You should be prepared to lose 100% of the capital allocated to algorithmic strategies. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
## What ICT Autopilot is
A pattern-detection and execution-assistance tool. The Service identifies ICT-pattern setups (liquidity sweep + iFVG + retest on XAUUSD 4H) using your live market data feed, sizes positions based on parameters you configure, and optionally forwards orders to a broker account you own.
## What it is NOT
- **NOT investment advice.** Nothing displayed in the app is a personalized recommendation. No fiduciary relationship exists between you and us.
- **NOT a guarantee.** Past backtest performance — including +60% backtested CAGR, $10K → $11.4M over 15 years, 59% win rate — represents historical simulation on XAUUSD with Orbex spread/commission/slippage assumptions. **Real-world results will differ.** Markets evolve, regimes shift, the strategy's edge can decay.
- **NOT a fund manager.** We never hold your money. All trades execute on your own broker account. You retain custody at all times.
- **NOT licensed.** We are not registered as an investment advisor, broker-dealer, or signal-provider with any financial regulator. The Service is a software tool sold under these Terms.
## Specific risks
- **Strategy decay**: ICT patterns may stop working if institutional behavior changes.
- **Execution slippage**: Real fills can differ materially from backtest assumptions during news, gaps, or low liquidity.
- **Broker risk**: Your broker may reject orders, widen spreads, or halt trading. The Service depends on third-party APIs that can fail.
- **Data feed risk**: PriceFeedPro can disconnect or send stale prices. The Service has reconnect logic but cannot eliminate this risk.
- **Software risk**: Bugs, downtime, or misconfiguration can cause missed signals, double orders, or stop-loss failures.
- **Counterparty risk**: We make no claim about the financial health of any broker you connect.
## Risk controls — and their limits
The Service offers daily-loss caps, max-streak circuit breakers, equity-drawdown stops, and a server-side kill switch. These can fail or be misconfigured. They are aids, not guarantees. **You are responsible for monitoring your account.**
## Tax + regulatory
Profits and losses are your responsibility. We do not file tax forms on your behalf. Some jurisdictions may classify algo trading or CFDs differently — consult a tax professional.
## Consent
By clicking "Accept" during onboarding, you confirm: (a) you have read this disclosure, (b) you understand the risks, (c) you are trading at your own risk, (d) you waive any claim against Big AL Consulting for trading losses.
