Risk Disclosure

1. General Risk Warning

Trading in financial instruments, including but not limited to forex, futures, stocks, and cryptocurrencies, involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in these markets can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and the value of your investments can go down as well as up.

2. No Guarantee of Profit

ACM Funded does not guarantee any profit or success in trading. Our funded trading program provides capital for qualified traders, but the ability to generate profits depends entirely on your trading skills, market knowledge, and decision-making. Many participants in our challenges do not qualify for funded accounts, and many traders with funded accounts do not generate consistent profits.

3. Market Risks

Financial markets are subject to numerous risks that can affect your trading performance:

• Volatility Risk: Markets can experience rapid and unpredictable price movements that can result in significant losses in a short period.
• Liquidity Risk: During certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position at a reasonable price.
• Gap Risk: Prices may gap up or down when markets open or during news events, potentially resulting in execution at prices significantly different from expected.
• Systemic Risk: Financial system instability can affect all investments and asset classes simultaneously.
• Political and Economic Risk: Changes in government policies, economic indicators, or geopolitical events can cause sudden market movements.

4. Technical Risks

Trading through electronic platforms involves additional risks:

• Platform Downtime: Trading platforms may experience technical issues, potentially preventing execution of trades or access to accounts.
• Internet Connectivity: Disruptions in your internet connection can affect your ability to trade effectively.
• Latency: Delays in data transmission can result in trades being executed at prices different from those displayed at the time of order entry.
• Hardware/Software Failures: Computer crashes or software glitches can interrupt trading activities.

5. Psychological Risks

Trading can be emotionally challenging. Fear, greed, overconfidence, and other psychological factors can lead to poor decision-making. The pressure of trading with funded capital may exacerbate these psychological challenges. It is important to maintain emotional discipline and adhere to a well-defined trading plan.

6. Challenge and Evaluation Risks

Participation in our trading challenges involves specific risks:

• The fee paid for challenge participation is non-refundable, regardless of performance or outcome.
• Trading rules and objectives must be met precisely to qualify for a funded account. Even minor violations can result in disqualification.
• Challenge parameters and rules may change over time, which could affect your strategy or likelihood of success.

7. Funded Account Risks

If you qualify for a funded account, additional risks apply:

• Funded accounts remain subject to trading rules and risk parameters. Violation can result in immediate termination of the account.
• Profit splits are only paid if your trading remains compliant with all rules and achieves the minimum payout threshold.
• ACM Funded reserves the right to modify the terms of funded accounts, including profit splits and trading parameters.

8. Risk Management Importance

Proper risk management is essential for long-term trading success. This includes using appropriate position sizing, setting stop-loss orders, diversifying trading strategies, and never risking more than you can afford to lose. ACM Funded enforces certain risk parameters, but ultimate responsibility for risk management rests with you as the trader.

9. Regulatory Considerations

Trading regulations vary by jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure that your participation in our program complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence. ACM Funded does not provide legal advice regarding the regulatory status of proprietary trading in your jurisdiction.

10. Acknowledgment of Risk

By participating in ACM Funded's programs, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure. You accept that trading involves significant risk of loss and that ACM Funded makes no guarantees regarding your trading success or profitability. You should only trade with capital that you can afford to lose, and you should seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
