Risk Disclosure
Last updated July 14, 2026
Important: trading and automated strategies involve substantial risk of loss. You can lose some or all committed funds. Mattheus does not promise profits, yields, fills, uptime, or execution outcomes. Public execution is disabled while the full-launch verdict is NO_GO.
1. General Trading Risk
Automated strategies can generate losses as well as gains. Market conditions can change rapidly, and historical or simulated performance does not predict future results.
2. Cryptocurrency Market Risk
Digital-asset markets can be highly volatile, thinly traded, continuously open, operationally fragmented, and susceptible to manipulation. Orders may not fill at expected prices.
3. Brokerage, Securities, and Options Risk
Broker-connected actions may face market-session, halt, margin, buying-power, settlement, assignment, exercise, expiration, data-entitlement, rejection, partial-fill, and slippage risk. Options can expire worthless or create losses exceeding the premium paid.
4. Algorithmic and Technical Risk
Software defects, stale data, incorrect assumptions, outages, latency, failed cancellations, exchange incidents, smart-contract behavior, and infrastructure failures can produce unintended or delayed outcomes. Backtests differ from live execution because of fees, market impact, and slippage.
5. DeFi Protocol Risk
Decentralized protocols, bridges, vaults, lending markets, swaps, and staking systems may suffer contract exploits, admin or governance changes, emergency pauses, disappearing liquidity, oracle failures, liquidation, bad debt, changing borrow rates, approval risk, and delayed withdrawals.
6. Leverage, Liquidation, and Funding Risk
Leveraged positions can be liquidated rapidly and lose all position margin. Funding rates can change direction and erode returns. Risk controls reduce exposure but cannot prevent all losses.
7. Hyperliquid Execution and API-Wallet Risk
Approved agent wallets can place, cancel, reduce, or close orders within their granted scope until expiry, revocation, or rotation. Venue APIs, signer readiness, account state, market impact, slippage, outages, and configuration errors remain material risks.
8. Onchain Protocol Risk
Onchain writes remain disabled for public launch until certified and approved. If enabled, users face contract, oracle, liquidity, borrow-rate, health-factor, liquidation, allowance, routing, gas, bridge, and vault-exit risks.
9. AI and Strategy Generation Risk
AI output can be wrong, stale, incomplete, delayed, overfit, or inappropriate. Market and account state can change between research, preview, approval, and execution. Review all assumptions, permissions, limits, and payload details.
10. Execution Outcome Risk
An approved action may fail, partially fill, execute at a different price, incur unexpected fees, settle late, become non-cancellable, or leave residual exposure. A preview is an estimate, not a guarantee.
11. Regulatory Risk
Laws, rules, venue requirements, asset classifications, sanctions, and tax treatment may change and may restrict availability or create reporting obligations.
12. No Investment Advice
Mattheus provides software infrastructure and does not provide individualized investment, financial, tax, accounting, or legal advice.
13. Risk Management
Consider beginning with paper trading or minimum allocation, setting conservative size and loss limits, monitoring initial live activity, maintaining independent records, and never allocating funds you cannot afford to lose.
