Risk Disclosure
Trading cryptocurrencies, currencies, gold and shares involves real risks, including the total loss of the capital invested. This page explains them one by one, with no sugar-coating, so that you can decide with complete information. Read it in full before opening your account: it is the most important part of the whole site.
General warning: past performance does not guarantee future results. No strategy, automated or manual, removes the risk of loss. Invest only money whose loss you could absorb without harming your personal or family finances.
1. Introduction and general warning
Thriventage is an automated-trading technology platform. The system analyses the markets and executes trades according to the strategies each user activates. That automation brings discipline and speed of analysis, not certainty: financial markets are uncertain by nature and no model can promise profits.
The purpose of this disclosure is for you to know the specific risks of trading digital and financial assets with automated tools. Each section describes the risk, how it shows up in practice and what you can do to manage it. No part of this document is investment advice.
2. Market risk and volatility
The main risk is that prices move against you. Crypto-assets are especially volatile: double-digit percentage moves in a single day are common, and sharp falls can wipe out weeks of progress in hours. Currencies and shares also fluctuate with central-bank decisions, corporate results and geopolitical events.
Practical recommendation: define from the outset the maximum loss you are prepared to tolerate per strategy and in total. The platform lets you set those limits; use them and respect them. Remember that a loss limit contains the damage, it does not eliminate it: in markets that gap, the execution may land near, not exactly on, the level set.
3. Liquidity risk
Liquidity is how easily a position can be closed at a price close to the one expected. In assets or moments of low volume, an order may execute worse than the price on screen: that difference is known as slippage. At the extreme, there may not be enough of a counterparty to close a position at the desired price.
Slippage worsens exactly when it hurts most: during violent market moves. Working with the most liquid assets (such as those the platform tracks) reduces how often this happens, but does not promise it away. Factor this additional cost into your expectations.
4. Integration and API-key risks
The platform connects to exchanges using API keys. A misconfiguration, a key stored insecurely or an interruption of the link to the exchange can stop a strategy working at a critical moment, leave positions unmanaged or expose your account if third parties obtain your keys.
Practical recommendation: generate keys with the fewest permissions necessary, never share access secrets with anyone (including anyone claiming to be from Thriventage), enable withdrawal restrictions where the feature allows it and regularly review the active connections in your dashboard. Access alerts help detect unauthorised use.
5. Counterparty and custody risk
To trade, funds and assets live alongside third parties: exchanges, payment processors and infrastructure providers. If one of them faces solvency problems, hacks, freezes or regulatory changes, your ability to trade or withdraw may be affected regardless of market behaviour.
The platform works with recognised exchanges and monitors their status, but no third party is risk-free. Spreading where you keep your assets, holding on the platform only the capital in play and withdrawing balances you are not using are prudent decisions you can discuss with your manager.
6. Operational and technical risks
Like any computer system, the platform depends on software, servers and network connections. Code errors, infrastructure failures, internet outages on your side or the data provider’s can interrupt the service precisely when the market is moving. A strategy may temporarily stop executing its rules for any of these reasons.
We maintain redundancy and continuous monitoring to reduce these episodes and we communicate significant interruptions through the usual channels. Even so, zero technical risk does not exist: always consider the possibility that an order fails to execute on time for reasons outside the analysis.
7. Cyber security and phishing
Digital fraud is a constant threat in the financial ecosystem: emails and sites impersonating legitimate companies to steal passwords, verification codes or identities. With those credentials, an attacker can empty an account in minutes, and digital-asset transactions are usually irreversible.
Practical recommendation: always reach the site by typing the address yourself, enable two-step verification, distrust messages pressing you with urgency and check the fraud warning if anything looks suspicious. Thriventage never asks for passwords or verification codes by phone, chat or email.
8. Limitations of models and automation
Analysis models learn from historical data. When the market behaves in unprecedented ways (sudden regulatory changes, liquidity crises, extreme events), patterns from the past lose value and the system may generate incorrect signals. Automation also amplifies mistakes: a badly configured rule is applied with more discipline than an emotional decision.
Volatility controls can pause strategies in extreme conditions, but they are mitigations, not guarantees. Practical recommendation: start with small amounts, test every strategy in the simulator, review the reports calmly and adjust parameters with your manager rather than improvising in moments of stress.
9. Service availability
The platform stays active continuously, but scheduled maintenance, external provider failures and security incidents can leave the service fully or partially unavailable for limited periods. During an interruption you might be unable to pause a strategy, change limits or request a withdrawal until service is restored.
We publish maintenance notices in advance whenever possible and work to keep interruptions brief. Plan your trading assuming there may be windows without access: for example, by avoiding leveraged weekend positions you could not watch if the service went down.
10. Before you start
Four habits separate an informed user from an exposed one. First, understand the strategy you activate: what it does, in which markets and with what limits. Second, define your maximum tolerated loss before depositing, not after the first fall. Third, protect your account: two-step verification on and API keys under your sole control. Fourth, supervise: review the reports and trading history at a frequency that matches your level of activity.
If anything on this page is unclear after reading it, ask your manager or write to [email protected]. We would far rather have a thousand questions before the deposit than one complaint afterwards. And if your financial situation cannot absorb losses, the honest recommendation is not to trade: markets do not forgive money that cannot be risked.
This disclosure forms part of the Terms of Use. By trading on the platform you confirm that you have read and understood it. Related documents: account security, KYC/AML policy and the complaints procedure.
