Risk Disclosure

The risks of trading financial markets, stated plainly. Read this before acting on anything you learn or access through GOTAFIMA.

1. Trading involves significant risk

Trading foreign exchange, synthetic indices, cryptocurrencies, derivatives and other financial instruments carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose some or all of the money you commit. Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose, and never borrow to trade.

2. Leverage cuts both ways

Leveraged products amplify both gains and losses. A small adverse market movement can produce losses that substantially exceed your initial outlay with some brokers and products. Understand the margin, stop-out and negative-balance rules of any broker before trading with leverage.

3. Education is not a guarantee

GOTAFIMA education teaches process, risk management and discipline. It does not promise or imply profitability. No course, signal, indicator, automation or mentorship — from GOTAFIMA or anyone else — can guarantee trading results. Past performance, whether of a market, a strategy provider or a demonstration, is not a reliable indicator of future results.

4. Specific service risks

  • Automated trading (AI BOT): automation enforces a strategy; it does not remove market risk. A strategy that performed historically can lose in live conditions. Technical failures, connectivity and extreme volatility add further risk.
  • Copy trading: you assume the market risk of every position a provider opens. A provider’s verified history does not guarantee future performance, and scaling effects can make your results differ from theirs.
  • Signals: signals are educational trade ideas with defined risk frames, not instructions. Execution timing, slippage and your position sizing can materially change outcomes.
  • Peer-to-peer exchange: escrow protects settlement, not price. The value of what you trade can change during and after settlement, and counterparty disputes take time to resolve.
  • Cryptocurrencies: highly volatile, unevenly regulated, and transactions are typically irreversible.

5. Third-party brokers

Trading accounts are held with independent brokers under their own regulation, terms and protections. Regulatory protections vary significantly by broker and by your country of residence — including whether you have access to compensation schemes or negative-balance protection. Review each broker’s regulatory status and terms yourself before depositing.

6. No advice, no solicitation

Nothing on the Platform is personal investment advice, a recommendation tailored to your circumstances, or a solicitation to trade. GOTAFIMA does not know your financial situation, objectives or risk tolerance. If you are unsure whether trading is appropriate for you, consult a licensed financial adviser in your jurisdiction.

7. Practise first, then decide

GOTAFIMA’s standing guidance: learn first, practise on a risk-free demo account until your process is consistent, and only then consider real capital — starting small. Demo results overstate live results: live trading adds spread variation, slippage, execution latency and, above all, real emotional pressure.

8. Your responsibility

By using the Platform you confirm that you understand these risks and that all trading decisions — including whether to trade at all, with which broker, and with how much capital — are yours alone. GOTAFIMA accepts no liability for trading losses.
