Risk Notice
This notice is part of the Terms of Use for the invite-only beta test. The beta is a test phase, not the official launch, and this notice is a draft that has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.
1. What Quantitizer is, and what it is not
Quantitizer gives general market information and analysis on crypto-assets and tokenized real-world-asset funds, with macroeconomic data as context. It is not investment advice, not advice on crypto-assets, not brokerage and not portfolio management, and we are not a licensed financial service provider.
The beta is paper-only. We place no orders, connect to no exchange or broker account, hold no money, crypto-assets or keys of yours, and accept no client funds. Every trade on the platform is simulated.
Nothing here considers your personal situation, goals, knowledge or ability to bear losses. A position size Quanti works out is arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It is not a recommendation to take that position.
2. Risks of crypto-assets
- Total loss. A crypto-asset can lose most or all of its value.
- Volatility. Prices move sharply, around the clock, sometimes within minutes.
- Liquidity. In a thin market you may not be able to sell at the price shown.
- Leverage and derivatives. With leveraged products and perpetual futures, losses can exceed what you put in or end in forced liquidation, and funding payments run continuously.
- Stablecoins. A stablecoin can lose its peg.
- Exchanges and custody. A trading venue can fail, be hacked or become insolvent. Whoever loses their keys loses access.
- Technology. Smart contracts, bridges and protocols can have bugs or be attacked.
- Regulation and tax. The rules can change. Gains may be taxable, and your taxes are your responsibility.
3. Extra risks of tokenized real-world assets
A tokenized fund’s value also depends on the issuer and the custodian being sound and reliable, on the claim to the underlying asset being enforceable, on limits to redemption and transfer, and on the price feeds the token relies on. The token’s price can differ from the value of what it represents.
4. The limits of our analysis and of AI
- Readings, calls and assessments rest on historical data and models. Markets can behave differently from the past.
- Quanti is an AI. She can get facts or figures wrong and say false things convincingly, and the same question can get different answers.
- Market data comes from third parties and can be late, incomplete or wrong.
- This is a beta: parts of the analysis are new, and some will change as we find what does not hold up.
5. How calls and paper results are scored
Our public track record and your own journal come from simulated fills, not real trades:
- A market call is scored from the first price anyone could trade after we published it.
- A limit call rests at its entry until price fills it, the stop trades first, or the call ends (it expires, a newer call replaces it, or we withdraw it). Price reaching the target first does not cancel it. A limit that never fills is counted as neither a win nor a loss.
- A trade ends when its target or its stop trades, or when Quanti closes it in a dated update, at the price when she decided. She can move a stop only toward profit and a target only closer. There is no time limit.
- An entry or a target counts as reached when price touches it. A real resting order can need price to trade through it, so a fill here may be one you would not have got.
- Every figure is before costs: no exchange fees, slippage or funding come off a result. Your own fills would pay them, so a small paper winner can be a small loser in a real account.
Past and simulated results are not a reliable indicator of future results. A win rate or a return is never a guarantee. The full method is on the track record page.
6. Conflicts of interest
The people behind Quantitizer may hold positions in assets the platform covers. [OWNER: the rules for our own trading around calls, only if they exist and are documented]
7. Your responsibility
Trade only with money you can afford to lose. Check every piece of information yourself before you use it. If in doubt, get independent advice, for example from a licensed investment adviser or a tax adviser.
