Read this before you trade.
TradeFloor is an execution layer. It does not custody your assets, it does not guarantee outcomes, and it cannot prevent adverse market events. You are responsible for every trade placed through it. Trading leveraged perpetual futures can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit.
What you are actually doing
You are instructing our software to place, modify and close leveraged derivative contracts on third-party exchanges using API keys you supplied. The counterparty to every trade is the exchange, not us. We never take custody of your funds and never request withdrawal permissions.
Principal risks
- Leverage amplifies both directions. A 10× position is fully liquidated by a roughly 10% adverse move. Slippage, funding and fees make the real threshold tighter.
- Liquidation is final. Our protection reduces the probability of full liquidation but cannot remove it. Once an exchange liquidates a position, it is gone.
- Funding payments compound. Perpetuals charge funding every few hours. Holding a losing side through multiple windows can bleed the account independent of price.
- Exchanges can fail. APIs go down, withdrawals pause, accounts get locked. We cannot reach positions on an exchange that is offline.
- Signals are not predictions. RSI, order-book imbalance, flow and news signals surface historical regularities. They do not predict the future. Backtests are not guarantees.
- Automation does not equal safety. Automation removes emotion at entry but not risk. A misconfigured trigger can size too large or fire too often.
- Operational risk. Latency, rate limits, clock drift, software bugs and your own misconfigurations can cause orders to execute late, partially, or not at all.
- Tax and legal risk. Perpetual futures have country-specific tax treatment and are prohibited for certain residents. It is your responsibility to comply.
- Custody risk. Your funds remain with your exchange. If it is insolvent or compromised, we cannot recover them.
- Total loss is plausible. Never trade with capital you cannot afford to lose. A bad week can erase years of gains.
What we do not promise
- Profit — not on any signal, strategy, config or time horizon.
- Uninterrupted service — our status page exists precisely because systems fail.
- Execution at a specific price — slippage happens; partial fills happen.
- Protection against every liquidation — the layers reduce probability, not certainty.
Our obligations to you
- Non-custodial operation — we never hold or transfer your funds.
- Trade-only permissions — we never request withdrawal scope from any exchange.
- Transparent execution — an append-only audit log records every open, close and modification.
- Plain-English incident communication — if we break something, we say so.
Suitability & jurisdiction
Trading on margin is suitable only for persons who understand and can afford the risks. You must be of legal age and legally permitted to trade derivatives in your jurisdiction. TradeFloor does not provide services to residents of jurisdictions where such services are prohibited, including but not limited to the United States.
Not investment advice
Nothing on this site, in the app, in our documentation, in our blog, or in communications with our team constitutes investment, tax, legal or financial advice. We are a software tool, not a broker, exchange, custodian or adviser.
