Risikooplysninger

1. General Information

The BTC Åpnstad platform provides software and technological tools for the automation of trading in digital assets. The service includes algorithmic trading strategies, trading bots, and tools for managing trading positions and portfolios.

The use of the platform involves a high level of financial risk. Users should fully understand these risks before using the platform's services.

All investments involve risks. The value of investments may rise as well as fall. There is a possibility that you may lose part or all of your invested capital.

Past results or historical performance are not reliable indicators of future results.

BTC Åpnstad does not guarantee profits and does not provide protection against financial losses.

If you do not fully understand the risks or the functioning of specific products, you should seek independent professional advice before making any investment.

2. Platform Status and Execution-Only Service

BTC Åpnstad is a provider of technological software.

The platform:

• is not a cryptocurrency exchange
• is not a broker or dealer
• does not hold customer funds
• does not manage user assets
• does not process deposits or withdrawals

All trading activities are executed directly on external cryptocurrency exchanges through an API connection to the user's account.

BTC Åpnstad provides execution-only services. No investment advice, portfolio management, or suitability assessments are provided.

All investment and trading decisions are made solely by the user. The user bears full responsibility for their investments and for any resulting profits or losses.

The user is also fully responsible for the security and use of their accounts on third-party platforms.

3. Cryptocurrency Market Risks

Trading cryptocurrencies is a highly risky and speculative activity.

Risks include, but are not limited to:

• extreme price volatility
• sudden market movements
• low market liquidity
• technological risks
• regulatory changes

The value of digital assets may fluctuate significantly. Users may lose part or all of their invested capital.

Cryptocurrency markets differ significantly from traditional financial markets and may experience unpredictable price movements.

A total loss of invested capital is possible.

4. Risks of Automated Trading

Automated trading systems operate based on algorithms and predefined parameters.

Even with advanced algorithms:

• trading strategies may be ineffective
• algorithms may misinterpret market conditions
• systems may react with delays during extreme market conditions
• losses may occur, particularly during periods of high volatility

Automated trading does not guarantee profits and may result in significant financial losses.

Technical or system-related errors may also result in incorrect order executions, delayed transactions, or unexpected losses.

5. Risks of Algorithmic Strategies

Strategies available on the platform (such as DCA strategies, Grid strategies, or signal-based strategies) are based on mathematical models and historical data.

However, it should be noted that:

• past performance does not guarantee future results
• market conditions may change at any time
• algorithms may lose effectiveness under certain market conditions

Users are responsible for configuring and operating their trading strategies.

6. Leverage and Margin Risks

Certain trading strategies or products may involve leverage.

Leverage can significantly amplify both potential profits and potential losses.

Even small market movements may lead to substantial losses that may fully deplete the invested capital.

If account balances are insufficient, automatic position closures or liquidations may occur.

7. API Connection Risks

To use the platform, users connect their cryptocurrency exchange accounts through API keys.

The use of API connections may involve additional risks, including:

• compromise of API keys
• unauthorized access to accounts
• technical integration errors
• delays in data transmission

Users are responsible for securely storing their API keys and correctly configuring access permissions.

8. Liquidity Risk

Under certain market conditions it may be difficult or impossible to:

• close positions
• obtain fair market prices
• execute orders immediately

Illiquid markets may result in significant deviations between the expected and the actual execution price.

9. Third-Party Risks (Counterparty Risk)

BTC Åpnstad interacts with third parties, particularly cryptocurrency exchanges.

BTC Åpnstad has no control over:

• the operation of these platforms
• their security
• their financial stability
• their technical infrastructure

In the event of technical issues, security incidents, or insolvency of a third-party provider, users may suffer financial losses.

10. Technological Risks

The operation of the platform depends on internet connectivity, software systems, and server infrastructure.

Possible risks include:

• technical malfunctions
• delays in order execution
• system errors
• network outages
• cyberattacks

Such events may negatively affect trading results.

11. Currency Risk

If you invest in digital assets that are denominated in a different currency, you are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.

Currency movements may affect the value of your investments and may reduce potential profits or increase losses.

12. Regulatory and Tax Risks

The legal and regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies and digital assets may change at any time.

New laws, regulations, tax rules, or trading restrictions may negatively affect the value of your investments or the use of the platform.
