Risk Disclosure
This is an important disclosure. Read it carefully before using CoinIQ. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the risks described below.
1. CoinIQ Does Not Provide Financial, Investment, or Legal Advice
CoinIQ is a software automation tool, not a financial advisor, broker-dealer, investment advisor, or legal advisor. Nothing on the Platform, in our marketing materials, or communicated by us constitutes financial, investment, trading, tax, or legal advice or a recommendation to enter into any particular transaction. Any signal, model output, or automated decision made available through the Platform is provided for informational and automation purposes only. You are solely responsible for evaluating whether use of the Platform, and any individual trade placed through it, is appropriate for your financial situation. You should consult your own independent financial, tax, and legal advisors before using the Platform.
2. Short-Term Crypto Markets Are Highly Volatile and Carry Risk of Total Loss
The markets CoinIQ trades, which settle on a cryptocurrency’s price at the end of a short window such as 15 minutes, are inherently speculative. Prices can move suddenly and significantly based on:
- Fast moves in the underlying cryptocurrency’s price, which can reverse a position’s value within seconds, especially close to a market’s close;
- Low liquidity or thin order books, which can cause significant slippage or leave orders unfilled;
- Errors, delays, or disputes in the reference price or index a platform uses to settle a market; and
- General market sentiment and speculation that may not reflect the “true” probability of an outcome.
You can lose some or all of the capital you allocate to trading on Kalshi or Polymarket through the Platform. There is no minimum or guaranteed value, and no insurance (such as FDIC or SIPC coverage) applies to funds held with Kalshi, Polymarket, or any other third-party platform.
3. Algorithmic and Automation Risk
The Platform uses statistical models, historical data, and automated decision logic to identify and, where you have switched on automated trading, act on trading opportunities. You specifically acknowledge:
- Past performance, including any historical win rate, profit figure, backtested result, or live track record displayed on the Platform or its sign-in page, is not indicative of, and does not guarantee, future results. Figures shown may come from a single account, a short period, or a limited sample. Market conditions and pricing on Kalshi and Polymarket change over time in ways that can degrade a previously profitable strategy.
- Software can contain bugs. A model can misread a market, a price feed can be stale or delayed, and an order can be placed that does not reflect your intent.
- Automated trading runs around the clock and may place many trades in rapid succession, which can compound losses faster than a manual process would.
- Automatic stop-losses and other exit rules reduce losses but cannot eliminate them. An exit can fill at a worse price than its trigger, fill only in part, or not fill at all in a fast or thin market or during an outage, and a position can lose its full value before an exit completes.
- Connectivity issues between CoinIQ and Kalshi or Polymarket (including outages, maintenance windows, rate-limiting, and API changes) can cause missed opportunities, delayed exits, or orders executed at worse prices than expected.
- We may change the trading logic, its default settings, and the markets it trades at any time, and a change can perform worse than what came before.
- The Company and the people who operate CoinIQ may trade the same markets on their own accounts, including with the same trading logic and at the same time as the Platform trades for you. Orders from different accounts can compete for the same prices and liquidity.
- The Platform does not warrant that any data point is accurate or current at any moment (see Terms of Service §6).
4. No Guarantee of Profit
CoinIQ does not guarantee any level of return, win rate, or profitability, whether expressed verbally, in writing, through marketing materials, or through any statistic displayed in the Platform’s interface (including figures showing historical performance). Any performance figures shown are historical, may be based on a limited sample size, and are not a projection or promise of future performance.
5. You Are Responsible for Your Own Risk Management
You are solely responsible for:
- Deciding whether to switch on automated trading, and when to switch it off;
- Choosing bet sizes, limits, and other settings appropriate to your own financial circumstances;
- Funding your exchange accounts, and monitoring your accounts and trading activity; and
- Only allocating capital that you can afford to lose in full.
6. Tax Responsibility
You are solely responsible for determining and complying with your own tax reporting and payment obligations arising from any trading activity conducted through the Platform, in your jurisdiction of residence and any other applicable jurisdiction. CoinIQ does not provide tax advice and does not withhold, report, or remit taxes on your behalf.
7. Acknowledgment
By using the Platform, you confirm that:
- You understand that prediction-market trading, including automated trading, carries a risk of substantial and total loss;
- You are voluntarily choosing to use automation and accept the algorithmic and technical risks described above; and
- You have not relied on any guarantee of profit or performance in deciding to use the Platform.
