Risk Disclosure

Last Updated: October 21, 2025

Trading in Foreign Currencies (FX), Derivatives of Digital Assets (Cryptocurrencies), and CFDs through Questrategy's algorithmic trading services, implemented in the User's trading accounts, offers opportunities but involves significant risks and is not suitable for all Users. The use of volatile instruments may magnify profits, but can also lead to a substantial loss of the invested capital.

The cloud-based or server-based Service may involve risks such as technical failures or delays in trade transmission. Key risks include, but are not limited to:

High market volatility, which may lead to rapid losses;

Algorithmic errors;

Cyber threats that may compromise your account;

Regulatory uncertainty;

Disruptions, such as delays in trade execution.

Past performance of trading strategies does not guarantee future results. Our systems are designed to provide reliable performance based on your risk settings, and they undergo rigorous testing and operational supervision. We recommend verifying that your risk settings align with your investment goals and risk management policy. Allocate capital according to the risk level appropriate for your trading strategy. Questrategy does not provide financial advice, and the use of the Services is at your sole risk. You bear full responsibility for your trading decisions.

1. Nature of Business and Scope of Service

1.1 Business Nature Declaration Questrategy operates solely as a technology provider offering Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for automated trading strategies. We do not provide financial or investment advice, portfolio management, brokerage services, and we do not act as financial intermediaries. Users maintain full control over their trading accounts and funds, and all trading activities are carried out at their sole discretion and risk.

1.2 Financial and Investment Advice All information provided by Questrategy, including performance data, educational materials, or supporting explanations regarding the operation of the algorithms, is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide financial advice, personalized investment recommendations, or tax advice. You should not make any investment decisions based solely on information provided on the Questrategy platform.

2. Critical Technology and Third-Party Risks

You acknowledge that the Services are dependent on the continued availability, functionality, and security of multiple third-party components, and you bear the sole risk for any loss resulting therefrom, including:

2.1 Access and Account Security Failures: Any failure, disruption, or unauthorized access to the access details (API keys, usernames, and passwords) that you provide to connect your trading account (broker/exchange) to Questrategy may result in an inability to execute, modify, or cancel trades, leading to potential losses.

2.2 Third-Party Platform Risk: The custody and actual execution of trades occur entirely with your chosen third-party broker or exchange. Questrategy is not responsible for any failure, outage, error, insolvency, or security breach of such third-party platforms.

2.3 Slippage and Liquidity: In a fast-moving market, the execution price may differ significantly from the intended price (Slippage). Questrategy is not responsible for slippage or lack of market liquidity provided by your broker/exchange.

2.4 API Permission Limitation (Critical) The User acknowledges and agrees that they are solely responsible for ensuring that the access details (including API keys) provided to Questrategy are configured with the minimum necessary permissions required for the operation of the Services. Specifically, permissions shall be limited exclusively to Read and Trading/Order Placement, and shall expressly block any withdrawal capability (Withdrawal) from the trading account. Questrategy accepts no liability for the User's failure to limit these permissions, and the User bears the sole risk for any damage resulting from the granting of broad or unrestricted API permissions.

3. Regulatory Sovereignty and Execution Environment

3.1 User's Dedicated Execution Environment Risk (Sovereignty)

A. Mandatory Dedicated Environment: The User is strictly required to ensure that the software used to receive and execute trades ("Execution Terminal") operates on a dedicated Virtual Private Server (VPS) or separate computing infrastructure acquired, owned, controlled, and exclusively managed by the User ("the Dedicated Environment").

B. Regulatory Affirmation: The User affirms and accepts that the purpose of this Dedicated Environment is to maintain the User's exclusive physical sovereignty over the execution layer, thereby ensuring complete separation of control and preventing any claim of technological or central pooling of trading activities by Questrategy.

C. Failure to Comply: The User bears all risks related to the reliability, security, availability, maintenance, and configuration of this Dedicated Environment. Furthermore, any regulatory risk or loss resulting from the failure to establish or maintain this Dedicated Environment, including claims of central management or pooling, shall be borne exclusively by the User and constitutes a fundamental breach of the Terms of Use. Questrategy is not liable for losses caused by connectivity issues or failures within the User's Dedicated Environment.

D. Third-Party Payment and Compliance Chain: The User explicitly acknowledges and affirms that they assume full responsibility for ensuring that all financial arrangements and technological relationships in which they are involved, including any payments to third-party providers, comply with all relevant local and international laws, regulations, and licensing requirements applicable to the User's operations and the receipt of algorithmic services.

3.2 Risk of Execution Control Delegation

The User expressly accepts that by relying on a replication mechanism (Copier) whose input is generated by Questrategy personnel within Israel, and/or by allowing Questrategy personnel in Israel remote access (such as RDP) to the User's Execution Environment (VPS), the User assumes all legal and regulatory risks associated with the jurisdiction where the signal originates and/or where the active control is asserted. This includes, without limitation, any claims from local or international tax authorities regarding the location of the 'Value-Driving Business Activity' or the creation of a Permanent Establishment in Israel. The User affirms that the decision to accept this execution setup is based on its own due diligence and is subordinate only to its foreign-based risk management policy.

3.3 Exclusive Assumption of Liability and Risk by User

The User acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided by Questrategy and its personnel, including any specialized input or execution assistance provided by independent contractors or subcontractors ('Service Chain'), constitute a single, integrated Professional Service Input. The User further declares that all financial and regulatory liability, without exception, for the outcomes arising from the operation of the Service Chain shall be borne exclusively by the User. This includes, but is not limited to, liability for: (a) regulatory non-compliance of the Service Chain; (b) financial loss or damage resulting from the acts or omissions of any party within the Service Chain; and (c) any claim that the Service Chain, or any part thereof, creates a Permanent Establishment of the User in Israel or any other jurisdiction. The User hereby releases and perpetually indemnifies Questrategy, its officers, employees, and all related subcontractors from any and all such liabilities and claims.

4. Platform, Algorithm, and Execution Failures

4.1 Server and Connectivity Failures Losses may result from technological delays, failures, or interruptions in the Service (including, but not limited to, power outages, cloud provider shutdowns, or Internet connectivity issues) affecting the transmission of trading signals, regardless of whether the failure occurred on Questrategy's servers, the third-party broker's systems, or the User's Dedicated Execution Terminal.

4.2 Platform and Execution Failures (Software Bugs) The User acknowledges that there is a risk of losing money due to technical failures specific to third-party trading environments, including those that may occur as a result of potential software bugs, malfunctions, or failures in Questrategy's code or platform. This risk includes, but is not limited to: (a) errors or issues with the MetaTrader platform; (b) failure or outage of the Virtual Private Server (VPS), even if provided or facilitated by Questrategy; (c) unexpected failure or malfunction of the algorithm; and (d) losses resulting from technical failures to comply with the User's predefined risk settings, including failures that could potentially impact the account's intended leverage levels. The User retains sole and full responsibility for setting and monitoring the appropriate capital and leverage controls.

4.3 Human Execution and Signal Risk 

The User acknowledges and accepts the risks associated with the provision of trading signals that are manually initiated by Questrategy personnel. This risk includes, but is not limited to: (a) human error in trade initiation or parameter setting; (b) delays in trade transmission caused by the manual initiation process; and (c) the subjective interpretation of market conditions by the personnel. The User acknowledges that the full financial risk of these manually generated signals is borne exclusively by the User, and Questrategy’s involvement is limited to providing the professional service input.

5. Algorithm and Strategy Risks

You understand that algorithmic strategies, even after rigorous testing, may underperform or incur substantial losses in live market conditions. Specifically:

Past Performance Bias: Strategy performance, simulated or actual, relies on historical data. Algorithms are subject to an inherent technical risk of 'overfitting', where optimal performance during past testing periods is not guaranteed under future and changing market conditions.

Parameter Changes: Market conditions are constantly changing. The risk parameters and strategy settings provided by you or used by the system may become outdated or highly ineffective, potentially leading to rapid capital erosion.

6. Final Acknowledgment and Responsibility

6.1 Financial Responsibility and Risk By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have conducted your own due diligence and fully understood the risks involved in algorithmic trading in highly volatile markets. You affirm that you can afford to lose all of your trading capital and that your use of Questrategy's technology constitutes an acknowledgment of your full and exclusive responsibility for all trading outcomes and losses incurred in your account.

The User acknowledges that the Licensing Fees paid to Questrategy are solely for the technological expertise and service provided, and do not constitute payment for the assumption of financial risk. The User is the sole party assuming the Capital Risk in the trading account, and therefore retains the corresponding majority share of any profits (The Residual Profit) as a return for that exclusive risk assumption.

6.2 Legal Compliance We assume you are legally permitted to use our products. It is your responsibility to ensure you comply with applicable global and local laws and legislation. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or claims against you due to such regulations.

6.3 Disclosure of Questrategy's Licensing Status The User understands and expressly acknowledges that Questrategy (and the individual or entity operating the Service) does not hold any license or authorization, whether Israeli or foreign, for investment management, investment marketing, or investment advice. This absence of licensing is intentional and predicated on the fact that Questrategy operates exclusively as a technology provider offering code and data transmission services and does not engage in any activity defined as 'Investment Advice' or 'Portfolio Management' under Israeli or European Union (MiFID II) regulations. The Services are offered solely as a technology license (SaaS). Any actions taken by the User or the User's affiliates that exceed the scope of the non-discretionary technological services detailed in these documents are taken at the User's sole risk and responsibility, and Questrategy accepts no liability for any regulatory non-compliance resulting from the User's operations or reliance on Questrategy's Services beyond their designated scope as a software tool.
