Risk Disclosure
Effective: April 25, 2026
1. Nature of crypto-asset trading
Crypto-assets are volatile, can be subject to extreme price movements within minutes, and are traded on venues that may be unregulated, partially regulated, or subject to rules that change without notice. Liquidity may dry up, prices may gap, exchanges may halt trading, and stablecoins may de-peg.
2. Leverage & derivatives
Perpetual and futures contracts use leverage. Leverage magnifies both profits and losses. A small adverse price move can wipe out your margin entirely. When used alongside auto-execution, it is possible to incur losses faster than you can react.
3. Copy trading specifics
Subscribing to a trader, bot, or AI agent means their signals will execute in the exchange account you connect. You remain fully responsible for the trades executed under your account, even though you did not personally initiate them. Creators may discontinue a strategy, make mistakes, or experience slippage between their signal and your fill. Past performance of any creator does not guarantee future performance.
Foxy AI can block trades it deems risky, but is not infallible: it can fail to block a losing trade, or block a trade that would have been profitable. It is an input, not a guarantee.
4. Simulated & hypothetical performance
The “$10,000 virtual portfolio” feature, leaderboard balances, and any other hypothetical performance shown on the Service are simulated. They are generated by replaying historical trader signals against market prices and do not reflect the impact of real-world factors such as slippage, latency, funding rates, liquidation cascades, account-level leverage limits, exchange outages, or your own psychology. Simulated returns are not indicative of returns you would have achieved with real capital, and are not indicative of future results.
5. AI-generated content
Foxy AI and the Modular Crypto Processors use statistical models trained on historical data and public signals. Their outputs can contain errors, outdated information, hallucinated facts, or biased conclusions. They are not individualized advice and should not be the sole basis for any decision involving capital.
6. Third-party exchange risk
BottomUP does not custody your funds. Copy trading is executed via your OKX account using credentials you provide. Risks associated with OKX — including counterparty default, hacking, withdrawal freezes, regulatory actions, or API changes — are yours alone. Read OKX’s own risk disclosures carefully before connecting.
7. Taxes
Crypto trading creates taxable events in most jurisdictions. BottomUP does not provide tax advice and does not prepare tax reports for you. Consult a qualified tax professional.
8. Jurisdictional notice
Copy trading on BottomUP is not currently available to U.S. persons. Residents of OFAC-sanctioned countries may not use the Service at all. Local laws may prohibit or restrict crypto derivatives in your jurisdiction; verify before you trade.
9. Your acknowledgement
By using BottomUP you confirm that you have read, understood, and accept the risks above; that any trading decisions are yours alone; and that BottomUP is not responsible for losses resulting from trades executed under your account.
