Risk Disclosure
Last Updated: June 2026
Trading involves substantial risk and may result in the loss of some or all of your invested capital.
1. General Trading Risk
Deriv offers complex financial products including options, multipliers, and contracts for difference (CFDs). These products may not be suitable for all users.
Before trading, you should ensure that you fully understand how these products work and the risks involved.
2. Risk of Capital Loss
Trading financial products carries the risk of losing part or all of your investment.
You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose, borrowed funds, or funds required for essential living expenses.
3. Copy Trading Risk
CopyTrades enables users to connect trader and copier accounts using API tokens.
Using a trade-copying platform introduces additional risks. The performance of a trader you choose to follow may decline, change over time, or produce losses.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
4. Execution Differences
CopyTrades attempts to copy supported trade activity between connected accounts.
Due to market conditions, network latency, execution delays, API limitations, account balances, multiplier settings, and platform restrictions, copied trades may differ from the original trader's activity.
CopyTrades does not guarantee identical execution, identical pricing, or identical results.
5. No Financial Advice
CopyTrades does not provide investment advice, trading recommendations, financial guidance, or trading signals.
Users remain solely responsible for evaluating traders, managing risk, and making their own trading decisions.
6. Technology & Platform Risk
CopyTrades relies on internet connectivity, third-party APIs, cloud infrastructure, and external services.
Service interruptions, maintenance, API outages, software bugs, or connectivity issues may impact trade-copying functionality.
7. Currency Conversion Risk
If your trading activity involves different currencies, exchange rate fluctuations may affect your profits, losses, and account balances.
8. No Guarantee of Results
CopyTrades does not guarantee profits, performance, successful trade execution, or any specific trading outcome.
All trading activity is undertaken entirely at your own risk.
9. Independent Platform
CopyTrades is an independent trade-copying platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, operated by, or associated with Deriv.
10. Acknowledgement
By using CopyTrades, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the risks described in this Risk Disclosure.
If you do not understand these risks, you should seek independent professional advice before using the platform.
Important:
You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
