1. RISKS

If you decide to use the novatechtradesacademy Options platform, you expressly acknowledge, accept and assume the following risks:
The risk of loss in trading Digital Assets may be substantial and losses may occur over a short period of time (including without limitation a total loss of your Digital Assets);
The price and liquidity of Digital Assets have been subject to large fluctuations in the past and will be subject to large fluctuations in the future；
Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the international, federal or state level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Digital Assets;
In your jurisdiction, the usage of novatechtradesacademy Options may be prohibited by local laws;
Deposits into your Digital Asset Account may not be considered deposits under the applicable laws, rules, or regulations in your jurisdiction;
Digital Assets in the Digital Asset Account of your novatechtradesacademy Options Account are not subject to any deposit insurance protection, including, but not limited to, FDIC insurance or Securities Investor Protection Corporation protections and other similar program;
Digital Assets are not legal tender and are not backed by the government;
Transactions in Digital Assets may be irreversible, and, accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable;
Some Digital Asset transactions shall be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that you initiated the transaction;
Placing contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” orders, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders;
All positions in Digital Assets involve risk, and a “spread” position may not be less risky than an outright “long” or “short” position;
With the derivatives being traded on the platform, there are additional risks involved. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading leveraged digital assets. These risks include the following:
The liquidity, market depth and dynamics of the Digital Asset trading can fluctuate violently and change rapidly. The use of leverage can work against you as well as for you and can lead to large losses as well as gains.
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin / futures account. A decline in the value of assets that are purchased or sold on margin may require you to provide additional funds to us to avoid the forced liquidation of assets in your account(s).
Under extreme market circumstances and volatility, the digital assets in your margin / futures account can be under forced liquidation without any user notification. If the net asset value of your account falls below maintenance margin requirements, the assets in your account will be subject to forced liquidation to cover the margin deficiency. You also will be responsible for any shortfall in the account after such a sale.
When market continues moving against user’s open leveraged positions, the distressed positions of your user account can be subject to being transferred to either Backstop Liquidity Providers (“BLPs”) or users with top-10 largest opposing positions with Auto-deleveraging process. Your account can be reset with zero balance after that;
For the subscriber to Copy Trading service, copying or replicating the trading decision(s) of other traders involves a high level of risk and can result in the potential loss of some or all of your capital. You should assess your level of risk tolerance before using the Copy Trading Service. Information obtained from the use of the Copy Trading Service should NOT be considered investment advice by or on behalf of novatechtradesacademy Options. Past result of any User or Trader on novatechtradesacademy Options is not indicative of future performance. You are solely responsible for reliance on any advice or information from third-party providers. Additionally, if you place additional trades in your account or you modify or cancel an order generated by the Copy Trading Service, you may achieve a materially different result than the result achieved by the trader that you copied. Should a copied trader cash-out and withdraw, you may also generate a materially different result than the trader, account, portfolio and/or strategy that you copied as it may affect the Copy Trading Service proportions.

The nature of Digital Assets may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attack, and may mean that technological difficulties experienced by novatechtradesacademy Options may prevent the access to or use of your Digital Assets;
The value of Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency or Digital Assets for Digital Assets. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit or beyond typical volatility range, especially if there is insufficient liquidity in the market.
You agree and understand that you are solely responsible for determining the nature, potential value, suitability, and appropriateness of these risks for yourself, and that novatechtradesacademy Options does not give advice or recommendations regarding Digital Assets, including the suitability and appropriateness of, and investment strategies for, Digital Assets. You agree and understand that you access and use novatechtradesacademy Options at your own risk; and this section is unable to and does not purport to disclose exhaustively all of the risks associated with Digital Assets and using novatechtradesacademy Options.
