Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 23 July 2026 · Version 1.0

Trading derivatives carries a high risk of loss. You can lose some or all of the money in your account, and losses can happen quickly. Only trade money you can genuinely afford to lose. If you do not fully understand these risks, do not use this service.

1. Copy trading does not remove risk

Copying a trader transfers the decision-making, not the outcome. When the master account loses, your account loses too, proportionally. A losing streak on the master account produces a losing streak on yours.

2. Your results will not exactly match the master's

This is important and we want you to understand it clearly before you fund an account.

Your trade is placed after ours is detected — typically within a fraction of a second, but never at the identical instant.
Because of that delay, your contract may open at a different price than the master's.
On very short-duration contracts (a few seconds, or on fast-updating indices), that difference can be large enough that the master's trade wins while yours loses, or vice-versa.
Over many trades, your results can therefore diverge meaningfully from the master's — in either direction.
Rounding, minimum stake sizes, and skipped trades add further differences.

3. Past performance means nothing

Any win rate, return figure, chart, or estimate shown on our website or dashboard — whether historical, illustrative, or projected — is not a prediction or guarantee. Estimated daily profit ranges are illustrations of intent, not commitments. Future results may be materially worse, including total loss.

4. Technology and execution risk

Outages, broker downtime, API changes, network failures, or an expired API token can delay, prevent, duplicate, or partially execute copied trades.
Trades may be missed entirely while systems are unavailable.
Automated risk controls (loss caps, circuit breakers) reduce but do not eliminate the chance of large losses — markets can move faster than any safeguard.

5. Costs

AF OPTIONS takes 50% of your profit on profitable days. Losing days cost you nothing in profit share, but the trading losses themselves are real and yours. Profit share is charged on daily profits and is not netted against losses on other days, so it is possible to owe profit share for a good day within a week that was overall negative.

6. No advice, no suitability assessment

We do not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and we do not assess whether this service is suitable for your circumstances. You trade on your own judgement and at your own risk. Consider independent professional advice.

7. Custody

Your funds remain in your own Deriv account at all times. AF OPTIONS cannot deposit, withdraw, or transfer your money. Deriv is responsible for custody, execution, and settlement of your trades.

8. Your controls

You can pause copying instantly from your dashboard, set a daily maximum-loss limit that automatically pauses copying, or revoke your Deriv API token to stop everything immediately. We encourage you to set a loss limit you are comfortable with.
