Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 28 August 2026

Trading leveraged financial products involves substantial risk. This Risk Disclosure explains some of the principal risks associated with using 047 Aurum Sync and participating in automated trade synchronisation or copy trading.

You should read this document carefully before activating Sync on any trading account.

1. Risk of Financial Loss

Trading CFDs, foreign exchange, precious metals and other leveraged products can result in significant financial losses.

You may lose some or all of the capital allocated to your trading account.

You should never trade with money that you cannot afford to lose.

2. Leverage Risk

Leverage allows a trader to control a position that is larger than the amount of capital deposited in the trading account.

While leverage can increase potential profits, it can also increase losses rapidly.

Small market movements may therefore have a significant effect on the value of your trading account.

3. Trade-Synchronisation Risk

Aurum Sync may use automated copy-trading or trade-synchronisation technology to reproduce trading activity from a master or lead strategy in a connected client trading account.

Synchronising another trading strategy does not eliminate trading risk and does not guarantee that a connected client account will achieve the same result as the master or lead account.

Losses experienced by the master or lead strategy may also result in losses on connected client accounts.

4. Different Account Results

A connected client account may experience different results from the master or lead account.

Differences may result from:

5. Slippage and Execution Risk

A synchronised order may execute at a different price from the corresponding master or lead trade.

This difference is commonly referred to as slippage and may become larger during periods of high volatility, low liquidity, market openings, economic announcements or rapid price movements.

Aurum Sync cannot guarantee identical execution prices, timing or results between a master or lead account and connected client accounts.

6. Market Volatility

Financial markets may move rapidly and unpredictably.

Gold, foreign exchange and other leveraged markets can experience significant price movements during economic news releases, geopolitical events, changes in liquidity and unexpected market conditions.

Stop-loss orders may not always execute at the exact requested price.

7. Margin and Stop-Out Risk

Each client is responsible for maintaining sufficient margin in their trading account.

If your available margin becomes insufficient, your selected broker may reject new trades, close existing positions or trigger a stop-out according to that broker's own trading conditions.

A master or lead account may remain open while a connected client account is stopped out or unable to receive a corresponding trade.

8. Sync and Risk Settings

Where supported by the applicable Sync infrastructure, clients may select their own multiplier, allocation, volume or other risk settings.

Choosing a higher-risk setting can materially increase both potential gains and potential losses.

A client is responsible for reviewing and understanding the effect of any selected settings before activating Sync.

9. Technology and Connectivity Risk

Trade synchronisation depends on technology provided by multiple independent systems.

Technical issues may include:

These events may prevent trades from being opened, modified or closed as intended.

10. Third-Party Risk

Aurum Sync may rely on third-party brokers, trading platforms, hosting providers, cloud infrastructure and trade-synchronisation technology.

These third parties operate independently from Aurum Sync.

Changes to their services, trading conditions, infrastructure, policies or availability may affect your ability to use Aurum Sync.

11. Broker Differences

Aurum Sync may support more than one broker.

Trading conditions may differ between brokers, including spreads, leverage, margin requirements, contract sizes, symbol names, execution methods, trading hours and stop-out levels.

These differences may cause a synchronised trade to perform differently from the corresponding master or lead trade.

12. Past Performance

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Historical trading results, backtests, screenshots, demonstrations, statistics or previous periods of profitability should not be interpreted as a guarantee that similar results will occur in the future.

A strategy that has previously performed well may experience drawdowns or losses in future market conditions.

13. No Guaranteed Profit

Aurum Sync does not guarantee any level of profit, return, account growth, drawdown limit or trading outcome.

There may be days, weeks or longer periods during which the master or lead strategy experiences losses or does not trade.

14. Pausing or Stopping Sync

Pausing, stopping or disabling Sync may prevent future trades from being synchronised, but it may not automatically close positions that are already open.

Clients are responsible for checking the status of existing positions when changing or disabling their Sync settings.

15. Client Responsibility

Each client remains responsible for deciding whether automated trade synchronisation or copy trading is appropriate for their financial circumstances and risk tolerance.

You are responsible for monitoring your trading account, available margin, account balance, selected Sync settings and open positions.

You remain responsible for deciding whether to activate, pause or stop Sync.

16. Acceptance of Risk

By activating Aurum Sync, you acknowledge that you understand the risks described above and voluntarily accept the possibility of financial loss.

You also acknowledge that no trading strategy or trade-synchronisation system can eliminate market, execution, technology, broker or counterparty risk.

Important

If you do not understand the risks associated with leveraged trading, automated trade synchronisation or copy trading, you should not activate the service until you have obtained appropriate independent guidance.
