Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 8 June 2026

Read this before connecting a broker. Trading futures and using copy-trading software involves substantial risk of loss. By using OmenSyncer you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these risks.

1. OmenSyncer is a tool, not financial advice

OmenSyncer is software that mirrors trade orders between broker accounts that you control. It does not recommend trades, does not predict market movements, and does not give investment, tax, or legal advice. Nothing produced by OmenSyncer - including dashboards, alerts, journal statistics, or any visualisation - is a solicitation to buy or sell any instrument.

We are not a broker, exchange, asset manager, commodity trading advisor (CTA), commodity pool operator (CPO), or financial adviser, and we are not registered as one with the FCA, CFTC, NFA, SEC, or any other regulator. Decisions about what to trade, when, and at what size are entirely yours.

2. Standard futures risk disclosure

The following disclosure is adapted from the standard required by NFA Rule 2-29 / CFTC Rule 1.55 and reflects the same risks recognised under FCA conduct rules. Read it carefully:

The risk of loss in trading commodity futures contracts can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. In considering whether to trade, you should be aware of the following:

• You may sustain a total loss of the funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain a position in the futures market, and you may incur losses beyond these amounts.
• If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the requested margin within the time required, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.
• Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market reaches a daily price fluctuation limit (a "limit move"), when there is illiquidity in a particular contract, or when an exchange halts trading.
• Placing contingent orders such as stop-loss or stop-limit orders will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders at the indicated price.
• The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in futures trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
• Spread positions are not necessarily less risky than simple "long" or "short" positions.

This brief statement cannot disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of the futures markets. You should therefore carefully study trading futures before becoming involved in it.

3. Additional risks specific to copy trading

Copy trading carries every risk of trading futures yourself, plus additional risks that come from automating the relationship between accounts:

• Strategy mismatch. A strategy that suits the leader account's capital, risk tolerance, and prop-firm rules may not suit a follower's. A leader trading 1 contract on a $100k funded account is taking very different risk than a follower copying that fill 1:1 on a $25k evaluation account.
• Slippage between accounts. Follower fills are placed after the leader's fill is detected. In fast markets, the follower may fill at a worse price than the leader, or not fill at all if the market has moved past the level.
• Multiplier and cross-order amplification. A multiplier above 1 amplifies both gains and losses. Cross-order swaps between minis and micros change the notional, not the structural risk.
• Leader account compromise or error. If the leader account is compromised, makes an error, or trades outside their normal style, those trades will mirror to every follower until you intervene.
• Latency and outages. If the OmenSyncer engine, your computer (Desktop plan), your internet connection, your broker, or any of our hosting providers experiences an outage, fills may be missed, modify and cancel events may not propagate, and positions may go unmanaged. Cloud hosting reduces but does not eliminate this risk.
• Rate limits. Brokers (e.g. Tradovate at 80 requests/minute, 5,000/hour per login) enforce rate limits. In a fill storm, follower orders may be deferred or rejected, leading to fills that don't match the leader exactly.
• Prop-firm rule violations. Even with our Risk module enabled, copied trades may violate your prop firm's rules (consistency, scaling plan, news-trading restrictions, max position size, end-of-day flat). You are responsible for ensuring the leader's strategy is compatible with every follower's firm rules.
• Software bugs. No software is perfect. A bug in OmenSyncer, your broker's API, or any intermediary system could cause unexpected order behaviour. We work hard to prevent this, but cannot guarantee it will never happen.

4. Prop-firm and evaluation accounts

Many OmenSyncer users trade evaluation or funded accounts from prop firms (Apex, MyFundedFutures, Alpha Futures, Take Profit Trader, Topstep, and others). These accounts are simulated-environment accounts at the broker level, and the prop firm imposes its own rules on top of normal broker rules - daily loss limits, profit targets, trailing drawdowns, scaling plans, news restrictions, and others.

OmenSyncer does not enforce your prop firm's rules. Our Risk module enforces the limits you configure (daily loss, daily profit, manual lockout) but cannot substitute for understanding and following your firm's policy. Breaching a prop-firm rule typically results in account termination, forfeit of profits, and loss of the evaluation fee. We are not liable for any such outcome.

5. Past performance, hypothetical results, and simulation

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Statistics shown in the Journal (win rate, profit factor, average winner / loser, P&L) describe what happened historically on your account. They cannot predict what will happen next. A profitable backtest, a profitable leader's history, or a profitable prior month is not a guarantee that copying continues to be profitable.

Because prop-firm evaluation and funded accounts operate in the broker's "demo" environment, fills can differ slightly from what would occur in a non-simulated live market. The P&L is real for your prop firm's purposes, but fill behaviour, slippage, and execution quality may not match a non-simulated live retail account.

6. Your responsibility

By using OmenSyncer you confirm and agree that:

• You have read and understood this Risk Disclosure;
• You are trading with funds you can afford to lose entirely;
• You are responsible for monitoring your accounts, broker logins, and the trades that result from your OmenSyncer configuration;
• You are responsible for ensuring the leader's strategy is compatible with each follower account's rules and risk tolerance;
• You will not hold Karhu Capital Ltd liable for any trading losses, missed gains, prop-firm rule breaches, evaluation failures, or other losses, except where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law (see the Terms of Service, section 11).

7. Get advice if you need it

Futures and copy trading may not be suitable for everyone. If you are unsure whether trading futures is appropriate for your financial situation, consult an independent, regulated financial adviser before opening or funding any account.
