Risk Disclosure
Trading and investing in financial instruments involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. This page provides important risk information relating to research, simulations, and tooling provided by Acquire Alpha (Acqua).
1) No investment advice
Acquire Alpha provides research and software deliverables. Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell securities or financial instruments.
2) Hypothetical and simulated performance
- Backtests and simulations may be hypothetical and do not represent actual trading.
- Results may be impacted by assumptions, data quality, survivorship bias, and overfitting.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results. No outcomes are guaranteed.
3) Model and implementation risk
- Models may fail in unseen regimes, during structural breaks, or under adverse market conditions.
- Execution, latency, slippage, fees, and operational constraints can materially impact results.
- Integration errors and monitoring gaps can create unexpected exposures.
4) Market, liquidity, and leverage risk
Markets can move rapidly. Liquidity can disappear. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses and can result in losses exceeding initial capital in some structures.
