Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-08-04

Read this before subscribing. Using TradeHound means trading leveraged cryptocurrency derivatives on your own account. That activity carries substantial risk, including the loss of everything in the account. Only trade with money you can afford to lose entirely.

Leverage and liquidation

Perpetual futures are leveraged instruments. Small price moves produce large gains and losses relative to margin, and adverse moves can liquidate a position — losing the full margin backing it — faster than you or any system can react.

Crypto market risk

Cryptocurrency markets are extremely volatile, trade around the clock, can gap violently on news, and are less regulated than traditional markets. Liquidity can vanish when it matters most.

Strategy risk

TradeHound's strategies are systematic: they follow predefined rules, and rules have losing periods. Trend-following strategies in particular lose repeatedly in sideways markets and give back part of large gains when trends reverse. Backtested or historical behavior — where shown at all — does not predict future results. There is no guarantee of profit, and drawdowns can be long and deep.

Automation and technology risk

Automated execution can fail or behave unexpectedly: software defects, connectivity loss, latency, exchange API changes, or data errors can cause missed entries, missed exits, duplicated or mispriced orders. Protective mechanisms (exchange-side stops, pre-trade risk checks, a kill-switch) reduce these risks; they do not eliminate them. Stop orders do not guarantee an exit price — in fast markets they can fill far from their trigger, and some strategy configurations manage exits without resting venue-side stop orders.

Venue and asset risk

Your funds sit on the trading venue (Hyperliquid), not with us. A venue outage, exploit, oracle failure, delisting, or insolvency can freeze or destroy funds regardless of anything TradeHound does. Stablecoins such as USDC carry their own issuer and de-peg risk; on-chain transactions carry network and smart-contract risk.

Signals plan

On the Signals plan you execute trades yourself. Delayed, missed, or partial manual execution will produce results that differ — possibly materially — from the strategy's own execution.

No advice, no management

TradeHound is software. It does not know your financial situation, does not manage your money, and does not give advice. You decide whether to run it, with how much, and at what leverage — and you bear the results of that decision.
