Risk Disclaimer
Trading cryptocurrencies and other financial markets involves substantial risk. Before using Edge Theory, it is important that you understand the purpose of our platform, the limitations of our services, and your own responsibility when making trading decisions.
Disclaimer: No Edge Theory feature removes trading risk. Real market data may be used, but execution inside the relevant Edge Theory environment is simulated and no customer order is sent to an exchange.
General market risk
Cryptoassets, leveraged products and speculative markets can move rapidly and may be unsuitable for you. Prices can gap, liquidity can disappear, volatility can increase and losses can exceed an amount you expected to risk outside a properly limited environment. Never treat software, education, a score or another member's opinion as a substitute for understanding the product and your own financial circumstances.
Educational and informational use only
Educational and informational content only. Edge Theory publishes structured research signals that show the setup, levels, status and invalidation conditions behind a research idea. They are not personalised financial, investment, legal or tax advice, instructions to buy, sell, long, short or hold an asset, or guarantees of a profitable outcome. Trading involves significant risk and no outcome is guaranteed.
Simulation boundary
Real market data may be used, but balances, positions, orders and execution inside the relevant Edge Theory environment are simulated. No customer order is sent to Bybit or another exchange. Simulated balances are not deposits or withdrawable funds. Simulation cannot reproduce every feature of live liquidity, latency, fees, slippage, queue position, outages, emotional pressure or market impact.
Performance and examples
Past performance, simulated results, metrics, rankings and examples do not guarantee future results. A profitable example can contain poor process and a losing example can follow a disciplined plan. Screenshots, worked examples, challenge balances and reports may use simulated or demonstration data and must be read with the label and context shown.
Tournaments and rankings
Tournaments and rankings are informational and based on the published event rules and eligible simulated activity. They do not predict profitability or prove live-market skill. A ranking can change as records, eligibility, configuration and methodology change. No ranking, prize or commercial outcome is guaranteed.
Pulse, Research Hub and Automate
Pulse and Research Hub organise published market intelligence and research context. Automate provides released bot workflows and records simulated activity where enabled. These tools do not create a personalised recommendation or guarantee a result. Market data can be delayed, incomplete or unavailable, and no single reading proves future direction.
Paper Mode and simulated execution
Paper Mode provides simulated practice. Simulated fills, stops, targets, balances and positions do not establish what a live exchange would have executed. Strict Practice and other controls can block or record configured simulated actions but cannot prevent market loss, remove risk or control activity outside Edge Theory.
Recorded decisions and imported records
The review workspace supports recording and review. Supported trade imports are labelled imported evidence and remain subject to parsing, completeness and source limitations. Edge Theory does not independently verify live profitability from an import. Imported evidence is excluded from scoring and competitions where the product states that boundary.
Analyses and educational tools
Outcome-Blind Review separates an initial decision from later outcome evidence. Process Leakage classifies recorded process differences. Playbook Proof compares recorded activity with written playbook rules and does not prove competence. Confidence Calibration compares pre-execution confidence with later evidence and is not psychological diagnosis. Risk Laboratory models scenarios from recorded R distributions and is not a forecast.
Market data risk
Bybit and other third-party data can be delayed, incomplete, revised, inconsistent with another venue or temporarily unavailable. Calculations depend on the quality, timing and scope of their inputs. Internet, browser, hosting, websocket, exchange and provider incidents can interrupt or distort a display. Confirm account-critical information directly with the venue responsible for the real account.
Community risk
Community posts, rooms, direct messages, livestream discussion and member reviews reflect individual contributions unless clearly labelled as an official Edge Theory notice. Members may be mistaken, biased or discussing a different risk tolerance. Public-room moderation reduces abuse but does not validate every market statement. Do not treat member content as professional or personalised advice.
Competitions and rewards
Competitions, rankings, XP and rewards use simulated or platform activity under published rules. They do not prove live profitability or guarantee a prize.
Leverage and loss limits
Leverage increases the effect of price movement and can accelerate losses. A platform maximum is not a recommendation to use that amount. Daily-loss, drawdown, stop and consistency rules are controls for a specific simulated environment, they do not make trading safe and do not replace personal risk assessment.
Personal responsibility
You remain responsible for decisions, position sizing, leverage, tax, legal and regulatory obligations, exchange access and the security of any real account you use outside Edge Theory. Consider independent professional advice where appropriate. Do not trade money you cannot afford to lose and do not rely on Edge Theory as your sole source of information.
Contact and urgent issues
For clarification about a label, metric, simulation boundary or platform rule, contact support@edgetheory.pro before relying on it. Edge Theory support cannot provide personalised financial advice. If you believe a real exchange account or financial asset is at immediate risk, use the security and support controls provided by the institution that holds or executes that real account.
Important Principles
Trading always involves risk.
Never trade money you cannot afford to lose.
Edge Theory provides education, not financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
Past performance never guarantees future results.
Every trading decision remains your own responsibility.
Market intelligence and performance tools support preparation, not prediction.
Community discussions represent the views of individual members and should not be treated as professional advice.
Questions about risk?
Contact the Edge Theory team if you need clarity on how our education, tools, and simulated systems should be interpreted.
Process measurement is not outcome prediction
Education, preparation, simulated practice, records, scores and rankings can support review, but they cannot establish what a future live-market result will be. Past performance, simulated results, metrics, rankings and examples do not guarantee future results.
