Risk Disclosure

Last updated: August 2026

Plutarc runs automated trading strategies, using leverage, against live cryptocurrency markets with your own capital. You can lose all of it. Do not deploy money you cannot afford to lose entirely.

This page is not a summary of the Terms of Service and does not replace them. It exists to state, plainly and in one place, what can go wrong.

Leverage magnifies losses, not just gains

Leveraged positions can be liquidated by the exchange, and liquidation can take substantially more than the amount you risked on that trade. A strategy configured at high leverage can lose your entire exchange balance during a single sharp move, faster than any software can react.

The risk controls Plutarc offers — position caps, a maximum leverage setting, per-trade loss limits, daily loss limits, stop losses and an equity drawdown kill switch — reduce exposure. They do not eliminate it, and none of them can guarantee an exit at any particular price.

Automation means trades happen while you are not watching

Once deployed, a bot opens and closes positions on its own, at any hour, without asking you first. It will act on its configuration even if that configuration is a mistake. A misconfigured strategy can lose money continuously and quickly.

You are responsible for the strategies you deploy and the parameters you set. Backtests describe the past; they are not predictions, and live results routinely differ from them.

Stops and protective orders can fail to protect you

Stop orders are instructions to the exchange, not guarantees. In fast or illiquid markets a stop can fill far from its trigger price, or not at all. Exchanges also halt trading, reject orders, and go down.

Things outside Plutarc’s control will sometimes break

Exchange outages, API failures, network partitions, rate limits, changed exchange behaviour, and infrastructure failures can all prevent a bot from acting when it otherwise would. A position may stay open longer than intended, or an intended exit may not occur.

Plutarc is provided on a best-efforts basis. It is software you configure and run, not a managed service, not a broker, and not a financial adviser. Plutarc never takes custody of your funds.

Your exchange account is yours

Plutarc trades through API keys you supply. Any trade, fee, funding payment, margin call or liquidation occurring on your exchange account is yours. Use trade-only API permissions, never enable withdrawal access, and revoke keys immediately if you suspect compromise.

Nothing here is advice

No strategy template, default parameter, backtest result, documentation page or communication from Plutarc is financial or investment advice, or a recommendation to trade any asset. If you need advice, consult a financial adviser regulated in your jurisdiction.

Before you deploy

You will be asked to acknowledge this disclosure before deploying your first bot — at the point capital is actually put at risk, rather than buried in signup. Read it then, not out of habit.

If any of the above is unclear, or you are not comfortable accepting these risks in full, do not deploy a bot.
