Risk Disclosure Statement
Last Updated: 15 January 2026
1. Purpose of this Statement
This Risk Disclosure Statement is provided by Keenmeritor to educate and alert all users regarding the substantial risks inherent in trading cryptocurrencies, forex pairs, and speculative derivatives through automated or algorithmic systems. Before committing financial resources, you should read this document thoroughly to assess whether trading matches your personal risk tolerance and financial condition.
Trading in digital and volatile financial assets carries a very high risk of losing invested capital. You should never trade or risk money that you cannot comfortably afford to lose in full.
2. Extreme Volatility & Asset Pricing Mechanics
Digital assets (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins) and leveraged instruments exhibit extreme price volatility. Valuations may fluctuate radically over minute timeframes due to changes in market sentiment, liquidity shortages, macroeconomic shifts, regulatory announcements, and algorithmic chain reactions.
- Cryptocurrency markets operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without market circuit breakers or trading pauses typical of regulated equity exchanges.
- Under volatile market conditions, rapid gap movements can cause stop-loss triggers to execute far below or above requested prices (known as execution slippage).
- Substantial portions or 100% of your account capital may be liquidated within minutes, especially when utilizing leverage or borrowed liquidity.
3. Algorithmic and Automated Execution Risks
Keenmeritor delivers algorithmic analytical tools, machine learning signal feeds, and automated bot integrations. While mathematical models seek to exploit probabilistic market inefficiencies, no algorithm is infallible or capable of eliminating systemic risk.
- Heuristic Limitations: Algorithmic strategies are trained on historical market data. Past performance, backtested results, and mathematical simulations offer no assurance of future profitability.
- Unforeseen Regime Shifts: Abrupt macroeconomic disruptions, geopolitical crises, liquidity cascades, or sudden regulatory interventions can cause machine models to perform unpredictably.
- Software & Parameter Flaws: Parameter misconfigurations, custom indicator conflicts, or software discrepancies may generate unintended orders or delayed risk-mitigation responses.
4. Technology, Connectivity, and Counterparty Exposure
Automated trading is fundamentally dependent on telecommunications networks, cloud execution servers, and external exchange infrastructure. Keenmeritor does not custody your fiat currency or digital tokens; trading actions execute through your external exchange accounts via API connections.
- API Outages & Latency: Network packet loss, external exchange downtime, rate limiting, and computational latency can prevent bot cancellation orders or timely trade execution.
- Counterparty Insolvency: External cryptocurrency exchanges or brokers may suffer security compromises, regulatory shutdowns, insolvency, or freezes on user withdrawals. Keenmeritor has no control over external third-party custodians.
- Cybersecurity Risks: Hardware failure, malware on your device, or compromised authentication credentials may result in unauthorized execution on connected accounts.
5. Regulatory Landscape in Australia and Internationally
The regulatory framework governing cryptocurrency assets and automated retail trading tools continues to develop rapidly across Australia and worldwide. Regulatory measures enacted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), AUSTRAC, or international authorities may affect token liquidity, asset legality, trading pairs, or platform accessibility.
Users are responsible for ensuring their individual trading activities, tax reporting obligations, and capital source declarations comply with all relevant Commonwealth and state laws.
6. Absence of Advisory Fiduciary Duty
Keenmeritor operates exclusively as a technology software developer. Neither the company nor its employees act as your investment manager, financial advisor, broker, or fiduciary. No calculation widget, automated projection, or simulated profit metric displayed on this website represents a guaranteed return or personalized financial recommendation.
Users are strongly urged to consult an independent financial advisor licensed in Australia before making financial commitments or engaging with automated trading bots.
