Risk Disclosure

1. Educational Content Only

All content published by The Chart Whisperer — including the CAP Framework, course materials, blog articles, blog posts, videos, emails, Telegram messages, and live demonstrations — is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

Nothing on this website or in any associated materials constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. The information is general in nature and does not take into account your personal financial situation, objectives, or risk tolerance.

Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

2. Regulatory Status

Charles V and The Chart Whisperer are not registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, financial planners, or commodity trading advisors with any regulatory body including (but not limited to):

• The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) or any Canadian provincial securities regulator
• The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)
• The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
• The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
• The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)
• Any other national or international financial regulatory body

This content does not require registration because it is general educational content, not personalised financial advice. If you require regulated advice, seek a licenced professional in your jurisdiction.

3. High-Risk Nature of Perpetual Futures Trading

Cryptocurrency perpetual futures contracts are leveraged derivative products. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Specific risks include:

• Liquidation risk: You can lose your entire margin deposit if the market moves against your position. Perpetuals have no expiry, but funding rates and margin requirements can force liquidation at any time.
• Volatility risk: Cryptocurrency markets are among the most volatile asset classes in the world. Price can move 10–30% or more within hours.
• Leverage risk: Positions taken with leverage of 5×, 10×, 20× or more can be fully liquidated on relatively small adverse price movements.
• Exchange risk: Cryptocurrency exchanges may experience hacks, insolvency, regulatory shutdowns, or technical failures. Funds held on exchange are not insured by government deposit protection schemes.
• Liquidity risk: Market conditions can deteriorate rapidly, making it difficult to exit positions at intended prices. Slippage during high-volatility events can significantly worsen outcomes.
• Funding rate risk: Perpetual futures require funding payments that can accumulate into a material cost for positions held over extended periods.
• Regulatory risk: Cryptocurrency regulation is evolving globally. Regulatory changes can affect the legality, taxation, or accessibility of trading in your jurisdiction at any time.
• Counterparty risk: You are exposed to the financial health and integrity of the exchange or platform through which you trade.
• Technology risk: Internet outages, software bugs, or hardware failures can prevent you from closing or managing positions at critical moments.

4. Past Performance Disclaimer

Performance metrics referenced on this website — including documented peak win rates (83% BTC at S-tier confluence, 73% ETH at D9 mean-reversion overlay — both independently backtested on Bybit v5 data), TP1–TP4 ladder-blended avg of 3.5R+ per setup (TP1=1R · TP2=2.5R · TP3=4R · TP4=6R+ with runners to 4–6R via ATR-anchored partial-take management), and historical trade examples — relate to the live trading history of Charles V under specific market conditions and do not guarantee or predict future results.

Market conditions, volatility regimes, liquidity, and trading infrastructure change over time. Results achieved in one market period or by one trader are not necessarily achievable by others, even when following the same methodology.

There is no guarantee that you will achieve similar results. Many factors outside of methodology — including execution, psychology, account size, timing, and individual risk management — affect trading outcomes. The majority of retail traders lose money in leveraged markets.

5. Hypothetical and Illustrative Results

Some content — including the interactive trade simulator, compound equity calculators, and scenario-based demonstrations — uses hypothetical or illustrative figures that do not represent actual trades executed with real capital under live market conditions.

Hypothetical performance results have known inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, hypothetical results do not represent real trading. Since the trades have not actually been executed, results may under- or over-compensate for the impact of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage, and transaction costs.

6. No Personalised Advice

The CAP Framework, course content, coaching sessions, blog articles, Telegram messages, and any other communications from The Chart Whisperer do not constitute personalised investment advice tailored to your individual situation. The framework teaches a general methodology — it is your responsibility to determine whether any trade, position size, or approach is appropriate for your specific financial situation, risk tolerance, and objectives.

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their consequences.

7. Affiliate and Commercial Relationships

The Chart Whisperer may have commercial or referral relationships with exchanges, platforms, or tools referenced on this website (including Bitget). Referral links may result in a commission to The Chart Whisperer if you register or deposit using those links. This does not affect the educational content provided, the price you pay, or any incentives you receive from the partner exchange.

Exchanges and platforms recommended are for informational purposes only. The Chart Whisperer does not guarantee the solvency, security, or performance of any third-party platform.

8. Jurisdiction and Legal Compliance

Trading perpetual futures may be restricted or prohibited in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to determine whether accessing this content and trading in your jurisdiction is legal and compliant with applicable regulations. Residents of certain jurisdictions may not be permitted to trade on platforms referenced in this content.

This website is operated from Canada. Nothing on this website is directed at residents of jurisdictions where its distribution would be contrary to local law or regulation.

9. Mental Health and Trading Psychology

Trading under financial pressure can cause significant psychological stress. If you are experiencing financial hardship, emotional distress, or trading-related anxiety, please reach out to a mental health professional before continuing to trade. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose, and never trade to recover losses.

10. Changes to This Disclosure

The Chart Whisperer reserves the right to update this risk disclosure at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of this site after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclosure.
