Risk Disclosure

Please read this disclosure carefully before using Gordo Trader. Trading cryptocurrency derivatives involves significant financial risk. This document outlines the key risks you should understand before getting started.

Last updated: February 2026

Important: Gordo Trader is automated trading software — not an investment advisor. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Not Investment Advice

Gordo Trader is an automated software platform. It is not a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, commodity trading advisor, or financial planner. Nothing on this website, within the platform, or communicated by the Gordo AI assistant constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other kind of advice. You should not treat any information provided by Gordo Trader as a substitute for professional financial guidance.

If you require personalized investment advice, please consult a licensed financial advisor or other qualified professional.

Trading Involves Significant Risk

Trading cryptocurrency perpetual futures is highly speculative and carries substantial risk of loss. You may lose some or all of the capital you deploy. The leveraged nature of perpetual futures contracts means that losses can exceed your initial position size if risk controls are not properly configured.

Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Gordo Trader's built-in risk controls (leverage limits, daily loss caps, drawdown guards) reduce — but do not eliminate — the risk of significant loss.

Past Performance Is Not Indicative of Future Results

Any backtest results, paper trading performance, historical strategy data, or performance statistics referenced on this site are provided for informational purposes only. Past performance — simulated or actual — is not a guarantee or reliable indicator of future performance. Market conditions change. Strategies that performed well historically may not perform well in the future.

Automation Does Not Eliminate Risk

Gordo Trader executes trades automatically based on programmatic signals. Automated systems can and do experience technical failures, connectivity issues, exchange downtime, and unexpected market conditions that may result in unintended trades or missed exits. You are responsible for monitoring your account and understanding the strategies running on it.

The kill switch and other manual controls exist precisely because automation has limits. Use them.

Hyperliquid and Exchange Risk

Gordo Trader operates on Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange. Use of any exchange — centralized or decentralized — carries counterparty risk, smart contract risk, liquidity risk, and the risk of exchange failure or insolvency. Gordo Trader has no control over Hyperliquid's operations and is not responsible for any exchange-related losses.

Your funds remain on the exchange at all times. Gordo Trader's API access is scoped to trading only and cannot initiate withdrawals.

Regulatory Uncertainty

The legal and regulatory environment for cryptocurrency and automated trading continues to evolve. Laws applicable to your use of Gordo Trader may vary depending on your country or jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of this platform complies with the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction. Gordo Trader makes no representations about the legality of its services in any particular location.

No Guarantees

Gordo Trader makes no guarantees of profit, specific returns, uptime, or uninterrupted service. The platform is provided "as is." While we work hard to maintain reliability and performance, we cannot guarantee that the system will always function as intended.

Your Responsibility

By using Gordo Trader, you acknowledge that you understand the risks involved in trading cryptocurrency derivatives, that you are using automated trading software at your own risk, and that you have read and understood this disclosure. You accept full responsibility for any trading decisions and outcomes resulting from your use of the platform.
