Risk Disclosure
Futures and Copy-Trading Risk Disclosure
Please read this disclosure carefully before using MimikTrader. It outlines the material risks associated with futures trading, automated trade copying, and reliance on third-party software.
Last updated: March 2026
1. Futures Trading Risk
Futures trading involves substantial risk of financial loss and is not appropriate for all investors. You can lose more than your initial deposit. The high degree of leverage available in futures markets can work against you as well as for you. Before using MimikTrader, you should carefully consider whether futures trading is suitable for your financial situation and risk tolerance.
2. Past Performance
Past trading performance, whether displayed on MimikTrader or communicated by any third party, is not indicative of future results. No trading strategy, system, or methodology guarantees profits or prevents losses.
3. Trade Copying Risks
Automated trade copying introduces additional risks beyond those of manual trading, including but not limited to:
- Latency— network delays between the source account and follower accounts may result in fill price differences or missed entries/exits.
- Fill differences— market conditions, order types, and available liquidity may cause follower accounts to receive different fill prices than the source.
- Partial fills and rejections— orders on follower accounts may be partially filled, rejected by the broker, or not executed at all.
- Position sizing variance— scaling and rounding differences may result in slightly different position sizes across accounts.
- Broker API limitations— rate limits, maintenance windows, session expiration, and API changes may interrupt trade copying without warning.
4. Risk Management Limitations
MimikTrader provides configurable risk management features such as daily loss limits, maximum position sizes, and trailing drawdown protection. These features are designed to help manage risk but cannot prevent all losses. Rapid market moves, gaps, and system delays may cause losses to exceed configured limits.
5. Capital at Risk
You should only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely. Do not trade with funds required for essential living expenses, debt obligations, or other financial commitments. Consider whether your financial situation allows for the possibility of total loss of deposited funds.
6. No Liability for Losses
MimikTrader is not responsible for any financial losses incurred through the use of the platform, whether caused by software behavior, broker issues, market conditions, user configuration, or any other factor. By using MimikTrader, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these risks. For full details on liability limitations, see our Terms of Service.
