1. General market risk
Investments in securities markets are subject to market risks. The value of your investments can fall as well as rise, and you may lose part or all of your capital. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
2. Derivatives risk warning
Trading in derivatives (futures and options) carries a high degree of risk. The high degree of leverage in derivatives can work against you as well as for you: a relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited, and you may sustain a total loss of your initial margin and any additional funds deposited to maintain your position.
If the market moves against your position or margin requirements are increased, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds at short notice. If you fail to meet a margin call, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
Under certain market conditions — illiquidity, circuit limits, system outages — it may be difficult or impossible to close a position or execute a stop-loss at the intended price. Placing a stop-loss order does not guarantee limiting your losses.
As required to be brought to your attention: SEBI's study of individual traders found that the vast majority of individual traders in the equity futures and options segment incurred net losses. Consider whether such trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources, and other circumstances. [PLACEHOLDER — review with counsel]
3. Algorithmic trading risk
Automated strategies can malfunction, act on stale or erroneous data, or behave unexpectedly in market conditions they were not designed for. Automation executes losses as efficiently as gains. Risk caps, loss limits, and kill switches reduce but cannot eliminate these risks — technology failures, connectivity loss, and broker or exchange outages can prevent protective mechanisms from acting.
4. Backtest & simulation risk
Backtested and paper-trading results are hypothetical. They assume fills, liquidity, and costs that live markets may not provide, and they do not reflect the discipline required to hold a strategy through real drawdowns. Live results will differ, sometimes materially.
5. Regulatory risk
Securities regulation evolves. Changes to SEBI's algorithmic trading framework, exchange rules, or broker policies may restrict, suspend, or alter platform functionality with little notice. [PLACEHOLDER — review with counsel]
