Copy Trading Copier Agreement
1. Copiers need to be aware of the following risks:
a. Copy trading users may not be able to copy trades during maintenance necessitated by unstable services provided by the network operator or third-party partners, excessive system load, and other reasons.
b. Copy trading activities may not be executed simultaneously or even at all, due to time-delayed execution of system instructions, delays in the trading signal from external platforms or other network issues.
c. The opening price, closing price and PnL ratios of copiers may differ as a result of objective factors such as changes in the market and insufficient market depth. Differences will be more significant under more extreme market conditions.
d. The opening price, closing price and PnL ratios of traders may differ from copiers as a result of changes in the market and insufficient market depth restrictions. Differences will be more significant under extreme market conditions.
e. When you use Copy Trade (with FORETOKEN traders), you may have a different position ratio and order amount from the trader due to unstable service provided by FORETOKEN such as a delay or loss in the trading signal. When traders are using pair trading, grid trading, the Martingale strategy or other strategies that require positions to be strictly aligned, copiers may be unable to copy successfully causing losses.
f. When using Copy Trade (with FORETOKEN traders), due to the differences in liquidation rules of different Exchanges, forced liquidation of your orders may be triggered earlier than the trader when there is a significant loss of the position.
g. When the TP/SL is set and triggered, due to factors such as unstable network, insufficient market depth, and unstable external service signal, the actual trigger price might be different from the preset value and there is no guarantee that the closing price or PnL ratio of your order is as same as the preset value.
h. There may be a risk of loss when copying the orders of traders. In the case of improper risk control, you may lose all of your balance.
i. Before using the Service to copy orders, you should be aware that FORETOKEN only provides the copying service of the trading signal, and sends the trading instruction as synchronized with the trader to the market under your authorization to deal with the market counterparty. Limited by factors such as changes in market conditions, changes in market depth, and time-delayed execution of system instructions, there is no guarantee that the copied orders will have the same opening (closing) price, opening (closing) time, and profit/loss (profit/loss ratio). The loss incurred thereby is solely at your risk.
j. Trading strategies belong to the trader's intellectual property rights. In order to protect traders' rights and interests and to maintain a fair community environment for all traders, the platform may hide some or all of the key information and features of your copy trades.
k. Traders may be removed due to violations, delisting and other reasons which will end the copy trading relationship. To protect the assets of copiers, the system will automatically cancel all copy trades after the relationship ends.
