Risk Disclosure
Last updated: 15 January 2026
Trading crypto-assets, foreign exchange and equities can result in the loss of some or all of your capital. Please read this Risk Disclosure in full and make sure you understand these risks before using the Streamwyck Capital platform.
1. General risk warning
Investing in financial instruments carries significant risk. The value of your investment may fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invested. You should only commit funds that you can afford to lose and that do not affect your essential living costs.
2. Crypto-asset volatility
Digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically experienced rapid and substantial price movements, including sharp declines within very short periods. Prices can be influenced by market sentiment, regulatory developments, technological changes, security incidents and macroeconomic factors, none of which we control.
3. Liquidity and execution risk
Some markets or assets may become illiquid, meaning that you may be unable to sell at a desired price or at all. Orders may be executed at prices different from those displayed, particularly during periods of high volatility, low liquidity or market disruption. Stop-loss and similar instructions do not guarantee execution at a specific level.
4. Foreign exchange and leverage
Foreign exchange and leveraged products can magnify both gains and losses. A relatively small adverse market movement may result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. Currency fluctuations may also affect the value of returns when expressed in your home currency.
5. Limitations of automated and AI-assisted tools
The Platform uses automated analysis and artificial intelligence to monitor markets and present signals. These tools are based on historical data and assumptions that may not hold in future. They can produce errors, be delayed by data outages, misinterpret events, or behave unexpectedly during unusual market conditions. Automation does not eliminate risk and does not guarantee profit.
6. No guarantee of returns
Any projection, calculator output, historical performance figure or illustrative scenario shown on the Platform is hypothetical. It does not represent actual results, is not a forecast, and should not be relied upon as a promise of income or capital growth. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
7. Technology, cyber and operational risk
Online trading relies on internet connectivity, third-party infrastructure and software. Failures, outages, hacking attempts, phishing, or errors in your own devices may prevent you from accessing the Platform or managing positions. You are responsible for protecting your credentials and for maintaining secure devices.
8. Custody and safeguarding
Crypto-assets held outside regulated custody arrangements may be lost through theft, private key compromise or user error. Transactions on blockchain networks are generally irreversible. Please consider carefully how and where digital assets are held and whether any third-party custodian meets your requirements.
9. Regulatory status and investor protection
The regulatory treatment of crypto-assets and related services varies between jurisdictions and may change. Most crypto-asset investments are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the United Kingdom, and you may not be able to access the Financial Ombudsman Service or other compensation arrangements in respect of losses. Nothing on this page represents that any product or service carries authorisation or protection that it does not hold.
10. Tax and legal considerations
Gains and income from digital assets, foreign exchange and equities may be subject to taxation, including Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax in the United Kingdom. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change. You are responsible for understanding and meeting your own tax obligations.
11. Scams and unsolicited contact
Fraudsters frequently impersonate legitimate firms, promise guaranteed returns or pressure individuals to act quickly. We will never ask for your password, seed phrase or private keys, and we do not request payments to personal wallets. If you are contacted unexpectedly, do not share information or send funds, and contact us to verify the request.
12. Seek independent advice
This Risk Disclosure does not describe every risk associated with crypto-assets, foreign exchange or equities. Before making any investment decision, you should consider your financial situation, experience, objectives and risk tolerance, and seek independent financial, legal or tax advice where appropriate.
