Risk Disclosure
Please read this carefully. Trading crypto derivatives is high-risk, and everything on AlphaProve is a simulation for research and education, not advice, and not a prediction of real results.
High-risk warning
Trading cryptocurrency perpetual futures involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. These instruments can use leverage of up to 100×, which magnifies both gains and losses. You can lose your entire capital. With leverage, losses can occur rapidly. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
1. Market and leverage risk
Crypto markets are highly volatile and can move sharply and without warning, at any hour. Perpetual futures are leveraged instruments: a small move against your position can wipe out your margin and trigger liquidation, causing you to lose more than you might expect. Funding costs, fees, slippage, and gaps in liquidity can further erode returns. There is no guarantee that any strategy will be profitable, and you are solely responsible for any decisions you make and any losses you incur.
2. Simulated results are hypothetical
Every backtest, forward-walk, Monte-Carlo run, and paper run on AlphaProve is a hypothetical simulation. Paper trading uses current market data, but it still uses simulated capital and modelled fills. The platform does not place real orders and does not trade on your behalf.
Paper trading does not predict live results.
A strategy that performed well in a simulation may perform very differently, or lose money, in live markets. Simulated and historical results are not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Simulated performance has inherent limitations, including:
- fills, liquidity, and slippage are modelled and may be more favourable than what you would achieve in a real market;
- paper runs do not reproduce every real execution constraint, including network and broker latency, available liquidity, order rejection, market impact, exchange outages, or other operational failures;
- overfitting: a strategy tuned to fit past data may simply describe noise and fail out of sample;
- look-ahead and survivorship bias: subtle use of information that would not have been available at the time can inflate results; and
- historical data may contain errors, gaps, or conditions that will not repeat.
3. Not financial advice
AlphaProve is a research, analysis, and education tool. Nothing on the platform (including any strategy, backtest, metric, ranking, or output) constitutes financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.
