3. Risks of Trading Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets
Cryptocurrency and digital asset markets are high-risk and highly volatile. Key risks include, but are not limited to:
Price Volatility
Digital assets can experience significant and rapid price movements, including large swings within short time periods.
Market Risk
You may lose some or all of the capital you use for trading. Past market patterns may not repeat in the future.
Liquidity Risk
Certain digital assets or trading pairs may have low liquidity, which can make it difficult or impossible to enter or exit positions at expected prices.
Regulatory Risk
Laws and regulations governing digital assets may change quickly and can affect the availability, legality, and taxation of cryptocurrencies in your jurisdiction.
Counterparty and Exchange Risk
If you trade on third-party exchanges or platforms, you may be exposed to their operational, security, and solvency risks. Scalplytics has no control over such platforms.
Leverage and Derivatives Risk
If you use leverage or derivatives on external platforms, gains and losses can be magnified, potentially leading to rapid and total loss of capital.
You should never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
4. Limitations of Simulations, Backtests, and Hypothetical Performance
Scalplytics provides tools for simulated trading, backtesting, and analytics. It is essential to understand the limitations of such data:
Hindsight Bias
Backtests and historical simulations are run with the benefit of hindsight. They cannot fully replicate the uncertainty and incomplete information present at the time of actual trading.
Assumptions and Simplifications
Simulations rely on assumptions (e.g., execution price, fees, slippage, liquidity) that may not match real-world trading conditions.
No Guarantee of Future Results
Hypothetical or simulated performance does not guarantee or reliably indicate future outcomes. Strategies that appear successful in simulation may perform poorly in live markets.
Data Quality and Availability
Simulations depend on the quality, timeliness, and completeness of underlying market data. Delays, gaps, or errors in data feeds can affect results.
You should treat all simulated results as educational approximations, not as predictions or guarantees.
5. Technology, Infrastructure, and Operational Risks
Using Scalplytics involves technology-related risks, including but not limited to:
Service Disruptions
The platform may be unavailable or limited in functionality due to maintenance, updates, outages, or other factors.
Technical Failures

Data Transmission
While Scalplytics uses security measures to protect data, no system is completely secure. Unauthorized access, cyberattacks, or data breaches may occur.
Security Risks
Laws and regulations governing digital assets may change quickly and can affect the availability, legality, and taxation of cryptocurrencies in your jurisdiction.
Scalplytics is not responsible for losses resulting from technical or operational issues, except as required by applicable law.
