Risk Disclaimer
Last updated: 20 May 2026
Important Risk Warning
Trading foreign exchange (Forex) and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment, and in some cases more than your initial deposit.
No Investment Advice
SmartEA does not provide investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. The information and tools provided on this Platform are for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Platform should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument, nor as a solicitation to participate in any specific trading strategy.
Past Performance
Past performance of any Expert Advisor (EA) displayed on the Platform is not indicative of future results. Historical trading results, including backtests and live track records, are provided for informational purposes only. Market conditions change continuously, and strategies that were profitable in the past may not be profitable in the future. Backtested results in particular may diverge significantly from live results due to spread, slippage, and broker-specific execution differences.
Hypothetical and Simulated Results
Where backtest or simulated results are displayed, these have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Because trades have not actually been executed, results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.
Automated Trading Risks
Automated trading systems, including Expert Advisors, carry specific risks:
- Technical failures may cause delayed or missed trade execution
- Internet connectivity issues may affect trading performance
- Broker server downtime may prevent trade execution
- Slippage and spread changes may affect actual results vs displayed expectations
- Market gaps and extreme volatility may cause unexpected losses
- EAs may malfunction or behave unexpectedly in unusual market conditions
- Leverage amplifies both gains and losses — small price moves can liquidate positions

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. By using SmartEA, you acknowledge that:
- You understand the risks involved in trading financial instruments
- You are trading with money you can afford to lose
- You have read and understood the risk settings available to you, including stop-loss options

Third-Party Brokers
SmartEA is not affiliated with any broker listed on the Platform. The inclusion of a broker does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation. You are responsible for choosing a broker that is properly regulated in your jurisdiction and meets your trading needs. SmartEA does not hold client funds at any time — all capital remains with your selected broker.
Regulatory Notice
SmartEA is a technology platform that facilitates copy trading by automating trade execution on accounts you own with your chosen broker. It is not a broker, financial institution, custodian, or investment advisor. SmartEA does not hold client funds, execute trades directly, or provide personalized financial recommendations. Trade execution occurs entirely within your broker's infrastructure, using credentials you have provided.
Jurisdictional Restrictions
The Platform is not directed to, nor intended for distribution to or use by, any person or entity who is a citizen or resident of, or located in, any jurisdiction where such distribution, publication, availability, or use would be contrary to local law or regulation. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of SmartEA is permitted under the laws of your jurisdiction.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SmartEA, its directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of the Platform, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages. This includes losses caused by broker outages, network disruptions, market events, or third-party service failures outside our reasonable control.
