Risk Disclosure | btccampus

High Risk Warning

Trading cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade cryptocurrencies, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You could lose some or all of your initial investment. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

Cryptocurrency Trading Risk Level

LOW Traditional Savings

MEDIUM Stock Market

HIGH Forex Trading

EXTREME Crypto Trading

Market Volatility Risks

Cryptocurrency markets are characterized by extreme price volatility that far exceeds traditional financial markets.

±20%

Daily price swings are common

±80%

Monthly drawdowns possible

24/7

Markets never close

∞

Unlimited loss potential

Key Volatility Risks

Rapid Price Movements: Cryptocurrency prices can change dramatically within minutes or seconds, making it impossible to guarantee execution at expected prices
Flash Crashes: Sudden, severe price drops can occur without warning, potentially liquidating positions before any protective action can be taken
Gap Risk: Prices can "gap" past stop-loss orders during periods of extreme volatility, resulting in larger losses than anticipated
Correlation Breakdown: During market stress, all cryptocurrencies may move together, eliminating diversification benefits
Weekend/Holiday Risk: Major price movements often occur during weekends or holidays when liquidity is lower

Historical Example

Bitcoin has experienced multiple drops exceeding 50% within weeks, and many altcoins have lost 90%+ of their value during bear markets. Past performance provides no guarantee of future price stability.

Leverage & Margin Risks

Trading with leverage amplifies both potential profits AND losses. A small market movement can result in significant gains or devastating losses.

Understanding Leverage Risk

Amplified Losses: 10x leverage means a 10% adverse move results in 100% loss of your position
Liquidation Risk: Your entire position can be forcibly closed if the market moves against you beyond your margin
Margin Calls: You may be required to deposit additional funds immediately or face liquidation
Negative Balance: In extreme conditions, losses can exceed your deposited funds
Funding Costs: Holding leveraged positions incurs ongoing fees that compound over time

Critical Warning

Leveraged trading is extremely risky. Statistics show that the majority of retail traders lose money when trading with leverage. Only trade with leverage if you fully understand the risks and can afford to lose your entire investment.

Leverage Risk Examples

20% move = 100% loss

10x

10% move = 100% loss

20x

5% move = 100% loss

50x

2% move = 100% loss

Understanding Futures Trading

Crypto futures trading means opening a leveraged position based only on price direction, without actually buying the coin:

Long Position: If you expect the price to rise, you open a long
Short Position: If you expect the price to fall, you open a short
Leverage Effect: With 100 USDT and 10x leverage, you control a 1,000 USDT position
Profit/Loss: If price moves 2% in your favor, you earn 20%. If it moves 2% against you, you lose 20%
Liquidation: At 10x leverage, a roughly 10% opposite move can liquidate your position completely

Example Trade

BTC price is $50,000. You open a long with 100 USDT at 10x leverage (position size 1,000 USDT). BTC rises to $51,000 (+2%). Your profit is about 20 USDT and your balance becomes 120 USDT.

This shows that futures trading is not about luck but about math, risk control, and discipline. High leverage, no stop-loss, and emotional decisions are the main reasons most beginners lose money. Professionals use low leverage, clear stops, and controlled risk.
