Crypto trading risk disclosure
Automated trading makes operation easier, but it does not remove the risk of loss. This page explains the main risks you should understand before using Neo Valor.
1. Introduction and general warning
Trading crypto assets carries high risk. The value of digital assets can rise and fall very quickly, and you can lose part or all of the funds you deposit. This page is written so that you understand those risks before you make a decision.
Neo Valor is a technology platform that provides analysis and automation tools. The platform gives no personal investment advice, does not guarantee results, and no strategy is completely free of loss. Past results do not guarantee future results.
What you can do: use only money you are ready to part with, and never use money needed for daily expenses, instalments or an emergency fund.
2. Market risk
The price of crypto assets can move tens of percent within days, even hours. The causes vary: news, policy changes, investor sentiment or global economic conditions. A sharp move in the wrong direction can cause fast and large losses.
AI-based analysis recognises patterns from past data, while the market can change because of events that have never happened before. A pattern that worked last month may not work this month.
As an illustration, an asset that rises three days in a row can drop sharply on the fourth day because of a single announcement. A fall like this can trigger the loss limit you set, and the end result is still a real loss.
What you can do: set a loss limit before a strategy runs, and review your settings regularly.
3. Liquidity risk
Liquidity is how easily an asset can be bought or sold without moving its price. For assets that trade rarely or when the market is quiet, your order may not fill completely or may fill at a price different from the one shown when the order was created. This difference is called slippage.
Slippage tends to widen when volatility is high, and it can make real results differ from expected results.
When the market moves very fast, the order queue at the exchange piles up. Your order is processed only after the orders that arrived earlier, and the price may already have changed by the time your turn comes.
What you can do: favour assets with large trading volume, and avoid order sizes far above that asset's daily volume.
4. API and integrations
Neo Valor connects to the exchange of your choice through an API key. Setup mistakes, expired keys or connection problems can make orders fail to send or arrive late. A leaked API key can be misused by others to trade in your name.
That is why key permissions need to be limited. The withdrawal permission is not needed for strategies to run, and it should not be enabled.
What you can do: create a dedicated key for Neo Valor, limit its permissions, and revoke it at once if you suspect it has been exposed.
5. Counterparty risk and custody of funds
Your trading funds are held at the exchange or third-party provider you connect, not by Neo Valor. An exchange can suffer operational disruption, account freezes, changes in withdrawal policy or financial trouble. All of these are outside our control.
Every exchange has its own terms of service. You are responsible for understanding those terms before placing funds there.
Keep in mind too that crypto assets are generally not guaranteed by a deposit insurance institution. If an exchange runs into trouble, your funds may be hard or impossible to recover.
What you can do: choose a well-known, supervised exchange, and do not place all your funds in one place.
6. Operational risk
Software can contain bugs, servers can fail and internet connections can drop. At the wrong moment this can cause orders not to run, to run twice, or to run late.
We monitor our systems and fix problems as quickly as possible, but we cannot guarantee that the service is free of disruption at all times.
What you can do: check the dashboard regularly, and contact your personal manager if you see activity that does not match your expectations.
7. Cybersecurity and phishing
Scammers often pose as a platform or a support agent to steal passwords, verification codes or API keys. A hijacked account can be used to trade without your knowledge.
We never ask for your password or 2FA code over chat, phone or email. The protections available are described on the security page, and the signs of cloned companies are on the fraud warning page.
What you can do: enable 2FA, use a unique password and check the site address before logging in.
8. Models and automation
Algorithms and bots work with limited rules and data. A model can misread unusual market conditions, and automated strategies can still produce consecutive losses. Automation speeds up execution, but it does not make decisions certainly right.
The automatic pause during high volatility is designed to limit exposure, not to eliminate losses or fully protect capital.
The system can also react only to the data it receives. If price data arrives late or is cut off from its source, a decision made at that moment may not match the real state of the market.
What you can do: understand how the strategy you enable works, and do not treat the result of one period as a picture of the next.
9. Service availability
The platform can be temporarily unavailable because of scheduled maintenance, updates or technical faults, including faults at third-party providers. During that time you may be unable to change settings or close positions through Neo Valor.
Scheduled maintenance is announced beforehand where possible. Sudden disruptions are communicated by email and on the dashboard.
What you can do: make sure you can still log in directly to your exchange account to manage positions if needed.
10. Before you start
Before depositing, make sure you understand the strategy that will run, decide the loss you can bear, secure the account with 2FA, and commit to monitoring results regularly.
- Write down the maximum amount you are ready to part with, then keep to that limit.
- Start with small capital until you are used to how the platform works.
- Ask your personal manager anything unclear before you deposit.
- Review the activity report every week and adjust the strategy if needed.
If you are unsure, postpone the decision. Questions can be sent to [email protected]. See also the FAQ and the crypto basics.
