Risk Disclosure

Trading in financial instruments, including foreign exchange, contracts for difference, and other derivative products, involves a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors.

Leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. You may lose all or a substantial portion of your trading capital, and in certain jurisdictions or account classifications, losses may exceed your initial deposit. You should not trade with capital you cannot afford to lose.

BlackRidge products are intended only for users who understand and accept the risks associated with leveraged trading, automated execution, and financial market volatility.

BlackRidge does not guarantee any specific return, profit, outcome, or level of performance.

Any performance figures, examples, simulations, backtests, or historical results shown on this website or in related materials are provided for informational purposes only. They should not be interpreted as a promise, guarantee, or reliable indication of future results.

Actual trading performance may differ materially from historical or backtested results.

All strategy metrics presented by BlackRidge are based on internal historical testing, simulations, or hypothetical performance. BlackRidge does not publish verified live trading results.

Backtested and hypothetical results have significant limitations. They are prepared using historical data and may benefit from hindsight. They do not fully account for actual market conditions, live execution, liquidity, slippage, spreads, commissions, broker limitations, psychological factors, or the financial risk of maintaining a live trading program during periods of loss.

Past performance, whether actual, backtested, simulated, or hypothetical, is not indicative of future results.

Financial markets can experience periods of high volatility, low liquidity, rapid price movements, and abnormal trading conditions. Economic releases, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, market gaps, and unexpected news can result in significant losses.

Market conditions may change in ways that cause a trading strategy to perform materially differently from historical testing or prior live results.

Systematic strategies operate according to predefined rules, but no strategy can guarantee profits or eliminate risk.

Losses may arise from market conditions, model limitations, data assumptions, execution delays, connectivity issues, software errors, broker restrictions, platform outages, latency, or decisions taken by the trading manager operating the master account.

You remain responsible for monitoring your allocation, the reporting provided by the broker, and your overall risk exposure.

Allocations may be structured as notionally funded accounts, in which the agreed trading level exceeds the capital actually funded to the broker.

Notional funding does not reduce the risk of the underlying strategy. It concentrates that risk into a smaller balance, so a given percentage movement in the strategy affects funded capital proportionally more than it would in a fully funded account. A drawdown that would be tolerable at full funding may exhaust funded capital entirely.

If funded capital is exhausted, the broker will typically attempt to liquidate positions at the margin threshold and the allocation ends. That liquidation is execution, not a guarantee: in price gaps or illiquidity it may fail to contain the loss. Whether losses can exceed the capital you have funded depends on the broker's legal entity, its written terms, the jurisdiction, your client classification and whether negative balance protection applies. You should confirm these points in the broker's written terms before any deposit; where protection is absent, losses beyond the deposit may be recoverable from you as a debt.

The one-time access payment is separate from, and additional to, the capital funded: at a $100,000 trading level funded with $25,000 the initial cash outlay is $31,700 before broker costs, and the payment is not refundable. The trading level is not increased without your written instruction.

Funding ratios are set per allocation and confirmed in writing before any deposit. You should satisfy yourself that the funding level you select is appropriate to your circumstances.

Trading with leverage increases exposure to market movements and may result in rapid losses. A relatively small market movement can have a disproportionately large impact on your account equity.

Depending on your jurisdiction, broker, account type, margin requirements, and client classification, you may be subject to margin calls, forced liquidation, or losses beyond your deposited funds.

Performance depends on the broker holding the PAMM structure, including its spreads, commissions, swaps, slippage, execution speed, liquidity, leverage limits, margin requirements and platform availability.

BlackRidge does not control broker execution, pricing, liquidity, solvency or platform availability. You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the standing and regulatory status of the broker before depositing funds.

BlackRidge introduces clients to systematic trading strategies operated through a PAMM (Percentage Allocation Management Module) structure at a regulated broker.

In a PAMM structure, client funds are allocated to a master account operated by a designated trading manager, alongside funds of other participants. Trading decisions are made by that manager. You do not place individual trades and do not control position sizing, entries or exits while your allocation is active.

Your funds are held at the regulated broker, not by BlackRidge. BlackRidge does not receive, hold or have withdrawal rights over client capital at any time. Account opening, identity verification, deposits and withdrawals are handled directly between you and the broker.

Because capital is pooled, your results are affected by the overall performance of the master account. Allocation, profit and loss distribution follow the broker's PAMM terms, which you should read in full before depositing.

BlackRidge does not provide personal financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.

Any information provided by BlackRidge is general in nature and does not take into account your personal financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, jurisdiction, tax position, or legal circumstances.

Before using any trading strategy or financial product, you should seek independent financial, legal, tax, and professional advice. CFTC guidance also encourages forex customers to request written risk disclosures and consult an independent licensed advisor before engaging with forex offers.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether BlackRidge products are suitable for you.

By using BlackRidge products, you acknowledge that you understand the risks involved in leveraged trading and automated execution, and that you are responsible for monitoring your account, managing your risk, and complying with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

BlackRidge products and services may not be available in all jurisdictions.

Nothing on this website should be considered an offer, solicitation, recommendation, or invitation to buy or use any financial product or service in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, recommendation, or use would be unlawful.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of BlackRidge products is permitted under the laws and regulations applicable to you.

Access to a strategy is arranged under a one-time payment of 6.7% of the agreed trading level, made to the selected strategy provider. BlackRidge does not invoice clients directly and does not charge recurring management fees, performance fees, or profit sharing.

The access payment is separate from the deposit and nonrefundable once access has been granted, even if the allocation ends at a loss.

The payment is calculated on the trading level the strategy is authorised to trade, not on the capital funded to the broker. Where an allocation is notionally funded, the fee is therefore a higher percentage of the amount deposited than of the exposure it buys. The exact amount is confirmed in writing before any payment is made.

BlackRidge receives an introduction fee directly from the selected strategy provider for introducing the client. BlackRidge does not receive broker compensation. That provider receives compensation from the broker, which may be linked to spreads or trading volume and can create an incentive to trade more. The introduction fee gives BlackRidge a financial interest in the client opening an allocation. Its exact amount and the full commercial terms are confirmed in writing before any payment or deposit. Assess these incentives separately from the one-time access payment and review the broker's trading conditions independently.

Broker-related trading costs apply in the normal course, including spreads, commissions, swaps, financing charges, slippage and any taxes applicable in your jurisdiction. These are separate from the access payment.

Trading involves risk and may result in substantial losses. You should only trade if you fully understand the risks and are financially able to withstand potential losses.
