Risk disclaimer
This page is not here to satisfy a checklist. Trading crypto loses money for most retail participants, and leverage makes that happen faster.
Is anything here financial advice?
No. Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and none of it is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.
This desk does not know your circumstances, your obligations, your tax position or your tolerance for loss, and could not give you advice even if it wanted to. The write-ups describe how mechanisms work and what they cost. What you do with that is entirely your decision and your responsibility.
No relationship of any kind is created by reading this site. If you need advice, get it from someone who is licensed in your jurisdiction and who is accountable to you.
What are the actual risks?
You can lose everything you put in, and with leveraged products you can lose it very quickly.
Stated concretely, because vague risk language is easy to skim past:
- Volatility. Crypto assets can and do move tens of percent in short periods. There is no floor under any of them.
- Leverage. A leveraged position is closed out automatically when the market moves against you past a threshold, and the money in it is gone. At high leverage that threshold is a move that major pairs make routinely. The liquidation calculator exists to make that distance visible before you commit, not to encourage the trade.
- Counterparty risk. Funds held on an exchange are held by that exchange. Exchanges have failed, frozen withdrawals and been hacked. Custody is a risk you accept whenever you leave a balance in place.
- Irreversibility. A transfer to the wrong address or the wrong network cannot be undone by you, and often cannot be undone by anyone.
- Regulatory change. Availability, product access and tax treatment change with jurisdiction and over time, sometimes with little notice.
Most retail accounts trading leveraged crypto lose money over time. That is the base rate, and no amount of understanding the fee schedule changes it. A fee discount does not rescue a bad position; it makes a losing trade lose slightly less.
How reliable are the numbers on this site?
Platform figures are accurate as of the date attached to them and will go out of date without warning. Treat the exchange’s own screen as the authority, always.
Fee tiers, withdrawal fees, confirmation requirements, limits and product availability are set by the exchange and change whenever they choose. Every such figure here carries the date it was checked, and several pages carry a dated screenshot of the source. That is a record of what was true then, not a guarantee of what is true now.
Where something here disagrees with what the exchange currently displays, the exchange is right and this site is stale. Corrections are logged on the corrections page as they are made.
Can I rely on the calculators?
They are correct arithmetic on the inputs you give them, and they are estimates rather than the exchange’s own figures.
Every calculator on this site is pure client-side maths. Nothing is fetched, nothing is sent anywhere, and no live price or rate is used. Each one states its own simplifications on its page — the liquidation calculator does not model cross margin, the funding projector assumes a constant rate, the break-even tool uses an additive approximation.
Use them to reason about a decision before you make it. Do not use them as a risk display for a live position; the numbers on your trading screen are the ones that govern, and they account for things these tools cannot see.
What about the sites linked from here?
External links are provided as references and this desk has no control over what is on the other end of them.
Exchange documentation, block explorers and protocol sites are linked where they back a specific claim. Their content, accuracy and availability are theirs, not ours, and a link is not an endorsement.
This site also carries one referral link, which is disclosed where it appears and explained in full on the disclosure page.
Availability where you are
Crypto services are restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions, and it is on you to know whether that includes yours.
Nothing here is an offer or solicitation to anyone in a jurisdiction where that would be unlawful. Product access, entity, and tax treatment all vary by residence. Check your own position before acting, and do not rely on a general-audience website to have got the rules for your country right.
