Risk Disclosure

Last updated: October 2026

1. General Risk Warning

Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk.

Trading foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), futures, options, crypto assets, shares and other instruments – especially with leverage – is highly speculative and may result in the total loss of your invested capital. With certain products (e.g. futures, short options) losses may exceed your deposit and margin calls may arise. Most retail CFD accounts lose money. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.

2. No Investment Advice, No Financial Service

TradeScope is software for documenting and analysing your own trades. TradeScope:

  • does not provide investment advice, brokerage, portfolio management or any other investment or financial service under WpIG, KWG or MiFID II;
  • is not a broker and does not execute real orders;
  • does not recommend buying or selling specific financial instruments;
  • holds no BaFin licence and does not require one for the services offered.

All content, statistics, metrics and notes serve informational, educational and documentation purposes only.

3. AI-Generated Content

The AI coach and other AI features generate text automatically using language models. This content may be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated and is not individual advice. AI output does not replace your own review or advice from a qualified, licensed professional. Decisions based on AI content are solely your responsibility.

4. Backtesting and Historical Data

Backtest Studio results and historical analyses are hypothetical and have inherent limitations:

  • Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
  • Simulated results only approximate slippage, liquidity, spreads, fees and execution delays.
  • Third-party market data may contain gaps, delays or errors.
  • Simulated trading is not subject to the psychological pressure of real-money trading.

5. Calculators and Metrics

Position size, pip and risk/reward calculators use simplified standard values (e.g. contract sizes, pip values in USD). Actual values depend on broker, account currency, contract specification and exchange rate. Verify calculations with your broker before every order.

6. Taxes

Profits from trading may be taxable. TradeScope does not produce tax-binding reports. Consult a tax advisor for tax questions.

7. Personal Responsibility

By using TradeScope you confirm that you have read and understood this risk disclosure and make all trading decisions independently and at your own risk. The operator accepts no liability for trading losses (see Terms, section 12).
