OttoTrader Risk Disclosure

Non-advice disclosure

Nothing on OttoTrader constitutes investment, financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice.

User-directed trading disclosure

Users are solely responsible for selecting, configuring, deploying, monitoring, pausing, and stopping strategies connected to their own exchange accounts.

You can lose all allocated funds. Leverage magnifies losses and can cause liquidation; depending on the product and exchange, losses can exceed the funds initially assigned to a trade.

Backtest and simulation disclosure

Backtested and simulated results are hypothetical, do not reflect actual trading, and may not account for slippage, latency, fees, liquidity, outages, delistings, exchange-side behavior, or other real-world execution conditions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Parameter searches can overfit history. Selecting winners from many tests, changing markets or dates, and excluding failed or delisted instruments can inflate results. Demo fills, funding, spreads, latency and real exchange execution can differ substantially. AI-generated explanations and configurations can also be wrong.

Marketplace disclosure

OttoTrader may review listing materials, report completeness, ownership status, and marketplace-policy compliance. A verified badge does not mean OttoTrader endorses the strategy, certifies profitability, verifies suitability, or guarantees future performance.

Exchange execution disclosure

Trades execute on third-party exchanges using user-provided credentials. Execution quality, fills, outages, fees, and order behavior depend on the connected exchange.

Stops and take-profit orders do not guarantee a particular fill or maximum loss. Gaps, rejection, partial fills, liquidation and connectivity failures can prevent the expected outcome. OttoTrader software faults can also affect execution.

Operational safety reminders

• Do not enable withdrawal permissions on API keys used with OttoTrader.
• Treat live trading as risky and review exchange, leverage, and position settings independently before enabling it.
• Enable stronger account protection, including 2FA, for live trading, seller access, and sensitive account changes.
• Monitor open positions at the exchange. Closing the app, cancelling a subscription or withdrawing from a software contract does not itself close exchange positions.
• Remote commands and recovery depend on connectivity, account authorization and reconciliation. Missed offline decisions are not a promise of replay, and restored billing does not automatically restart stopped strategies.
