Risk Disclosure
Effective Date: 2 March 2026
Please read this Risk Disclosure carefully before using FuguTrader's copy trading signal service. Trading foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), and other leveraged financial products carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
1. General Risk Warning
Trading forex and CFDs involves significant risk of loss. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Leveraged products can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
2. Nature of Our Service
FuguTrader operates an automated copy trading signal service. Our algorithmic systems generate trading signals that are executed on our master account and automatically copied to connected follower accounts via the Fusion+ platform.
FuguTrader is not a licensed financial adviser, investment manager, or regulated financial services provider. Nothing on this website or through our service constitutes financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, or a personal recommendation to trade. You should seek independent professional advice before making any investment or trading decision.
3. Past Performance Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results. All performance figures, statistics, and trading results displayed on this website are independently verified historical results. They do not guarantee, imply, or predict future performance.
Trading results shown may be gross of fees, commissions, or costs that may apply to your account. Actual returns will vary depending on account size, timing of entry, and individual broker conditions.
4. Leverage Risk
Forex and CFD trading typically involves leverage, which means you can control a large position with a relatively small amount of capital. While leverage can amplify profits, it equally amplifies losses. A small market movement can result in proportionally larger losses, potentially exceeding your initial deposit.
5. Market Risk
Financial markets are subject to rapid and unpredictable price movements caused by:
- Economic data releases and central bank decisions
- Geopolitical events and political instability
- Market sentiment and sudden changes in liquidity
- Weekend gaps and overnight price movements
- Flash crashes and extreme volatility events
- Changes in regulatory or legal frameworks
These events can result in significant losses that occur rapidly and without warning.
6. Copy Trading Specific Risks
Copy trading introduces additional risks beyond standard trading:
- Execution Slippage — there may be a delay between when a trade is executed on the master account and when it is copied to your account. This can result in different entry and exit prices.
- Latency — network latency, server load, and broker processing times can affect the speed and accuracy of trade copying.
- Proportional Sizing — trades are copied proportionally based on your account size. Smaller accounts may experience different risk profiles due to minimum lot sizes and rounding.
- Partial Fills — in fast-moving markets, your copied trade may not be fully executed or may be executed at a different price than the master account.
- System Downtime — technical failures in the copy trading platform, internet connectivity, or broker systems could prevent trades from being copied or closed in a timely manner.
- Strategy Changes — the trading strategy, risk parameters, or instruments traded may change over time without prior notice.
7. Regulatory Disclosure
Trades are executed through Fusion Markets Pty Ltd (ABN 90 149 011 361), which holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL No. 385620) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
FuguTrader itself is not a regulated entity. We operate a signal service and participate in Fusion Markets' Introducing Broker programme. We do not hold, manage, or have access to your funds or trading account.
8. No Guarantee of Profit
There is no guarantee that our trading strategies will be profitable. All trading systems, regardless of their historical track record, can and do experience periods of drawdown and loss. Drawdowns can be significant and prolonged.
Any projections, forecasts, or estimates of potential returns are hypothetical and should not be relied upon as a promise or guarantee of future performance.
9. Suitability
Before using our copy trading service, you should carefully consider whether trading forex and CFDs is appropriate for you in light of your:
- Financial situation and ability to bear losses
- Investment objectives and risk tolerance
- Level of trading experience and knowledge
- Tax circumstances
If you are in any doubt, seek independent financial advice from a qualified professional.
10. Capital at Risk
Only trade with capital you can afford to lose entirely. Do not invest your emergency funds, retirement savings, borrowed money, or funds needed for essential living expenses. Trading should be undertaken with discretionary capital only.
11. Tax Obligations
You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with any tax obligations that arise from your trading activity. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change. We recommend consulting a qualified tax adviser.
