Risk Disclosure

Understand the risk before using any trading tool.

Synthetic indices, options, CFDs, and automated trading can produce rapid losses. Software features do not remove market, execution, or operational risk.

Deriv risk disclaimer

Deriv offers complex products, including options and CFDs, which carry significant risks. Trading CFDs involves risk amplification that can increase both potential profits and losses, potentially leading to complete investment loss. Trade only with money you can afford to lose and never borrow to trade. Understand the risks before trading.

No financial advice or promised outcome

Synthetic Markets provides software and educational information. Nothing on this website or within a platform is personalised financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. We do not guarantee profit, accuracy, win rates, availability, or a particular trading result.

Automated-trading risk

A bot executes the rules configured in it. Incorrect logic, unsuitable stake values, repeated purchase conditions, restart loops, or a misunderstood progression can increase loss quickly. Review every block and test the complete lifecycle on a demo account.

Demo-account limitations

Demo trading is useful for learning controls and checking software behaviour. Demo balances and past demo outcomes do not guarantee that a strategy will perform the same way with real funds.

Technical and connection risk

Browsers, devices, networks, broker services, APIs, and third-party hosting can become slow or unavailable. A disconnect may happen while a contract remains open. Always verify open positions and completed transactions in the broker's official records before restarting a bot.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for deciding whether a product and trade are appropriate for you, checking the active account, reviewing current broker terms, setting your own limits, and monitoring every automated session.
