Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 16 July 2026

HIGH RISK WARNING

Automated forex trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. The high degree of leverage can work both for you and against you.

1. Forex market risk

Foreign exchange (forex) markets are highly volatile. Currency values can move dramatically within seconds in response to economic data releases, central bank decisions, geopolitical events, and liquidity conditions. These movements can result in significant gains or substantial losses.

Unlike stocks, forex markets operate 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, across multiple time zones. This means positions can move significantly overnight or over weekends, particularly around bank holidays and news events.

2. Leverage risk

Forex trading involves leverage, which means you can control a large position with a relatively small margin deposit. While leverage amplifies potential profits, it equally amplifies potential losses. A small adverse price movement can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit.

Under FCA rules for UK retail clients, maximum leverage on major currency pairs is 30:1. If your broker offers higher leverage, understand that your risk is proportionally higher. Hesgram does not control the leverage settings on your broker account — you must manage this directly with your broker.

3. Automated trading risk

Automated trading systems, including Hesgram, carry specific risks that differ from manual trading:

  • System failure. Technology failures — including internet outages, server downtime, API errors, or bugs — can result in missed trades, duplicate orders, or failure to close positions. Hesgram operates on cloud infrastructure with high availability, but no system guarantees 100% uptime.
  • Latency. Trade execution is subject to network latency and broker processing time. In fast markets, the price at execution may differ materially from the signal price (slippage).
  • Over-optimisation. Strategies that perform well in backtesting or recent history may perform poorly in live markets, particularly during regime changes, low-liquidity periods, or black swan events.
  • AI model limitations. The DeepSeek AI and ML models used by Hesgram are probabilistic — they produce signals based on historical patterns. They cannot predict the future. A high historical win rate does not guarantee future profitability.

4. Past performance

Any win rates, strategy performance figures, or trade statistics shown within Hesgram — including on the landing page, dashboard, or marketing materials — are based on historical data or simulated backtesting. They are provided for informational purposes only and do not guarantee future results.

Markets are not static. A strategy that generated strong returns in one market environment may perform differently as market conditions change. Hesgram’s ML model retrains weekly to adapt, but this adaptation does not eliminate the risk of loss.

5. Not financial advice

Hesgram is automated trading software. Nothing provided by Hesgram — including signals, AI reasoning text, strategy descriptions, win-rate statistics, blog articles, FAQ responses, or customer support communications — constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a personal recommendation.

Hesgram Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or any equivalent financial regulator. We are a software provider only. If you require regulated financial advice, please consult a qualified and FCA-authorised independent financial adviser.

6. Suitability

Automated forex trading is not suitable for:

  • Investors who cannot afford to lose the capital they invest.
  • Individuals who do not understand how forex leverage works.
  • Anyone who cannot tolerate drawdown periods that may last weeks or months.
  • People relying on trading profits as their primary income without alternative financial reserves.

Before running the bot on a live account, we strongly recommend using the free paper trading mode to understand how the system behaves without risking real capital.

7. Third-party and broker risk

Hesgram relies on third-party services including MetaApi, your MT5 broker, and DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure. Disruptions or failures at any of these providers may affect the ability of the system to execute, modify, or close trades.

Your funds are held by your broker — not by Hesgram. The financial safety of your capital depends on your broker’s regulation, segregation of client funds, and financial stability. Choose a regulated broker with a strong track record. Hesgram does not recommend specific brokers and is not responsible for broker insolvency or malpractice.

8. Your responsibility

By using Hesgram on a live account you accept full responsibility for all trading outcomes. You agree to:

  • Monitor your account regularly and not rely solely on automated notifications.
  • Set sensible risk parameters in the bot configuration (lot size, max drawdown, max open trades).
  • Use the emergency stop feature if market conditions or personal circumstances require it.
  • Keep sufficient margin in your broker account to prevent automatic stop-outs.
  • Understand the strategies you enable before running them on live capital.
