Risk disclosure
Last updated: 30 October 2026
Trading can lose you money quickly. Most retail traders who trade leveraged products lose money. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. Ten12 Mentors provides education and software to help you manage these risks; it cannot remove them.
Leverage
Gold, index, energy and crypto derivatives are usually traded with leverage. Leverage magnifies gains and losses: a small price move against you can wipe out your margin, and on some products you can lose more than you deposited.
Volatility, gaps and slippage
Prices can move very fast, especially around economic releases (CPI, jobs reports, central-bank decisions), at market open and over weekends, when indices, oil and gas are closed and can open at a very different price. Stop losses are not guaranteed: in fast markets they can be filled at a worse price than you set.
Crypto-specific risks
Crypto markets trade 24/7 and can fall sharply at any time. USDT-settled perpetual contracts carry funding payments, liquidation risk and exchange risk (outages, account restrictions or insolvency). Stablecoins such as USDT can lose their peg. In India, gains on virtual digital assets are taxed at 30% and 1% TDS applies to many transfers; losses generally cannot be set off. Rules change, so check with a tax professional.
Regulatory risk
Residents of India may not trade forex or CFDs through offshore platforms under the Foreign Exchange Management Act; the RBI maintains an Alert List of unauthorised platforms. Crypto regulation is evolving in India and elsewhere. It is your responsibility to follow the law where you live.
Simulations are not real trading
Results in the paper trading simulator or the Ten12 Challenge do not include every real-world cost or behaviour, and trading with virtual money feels different from risking your own. Passing the Ten12 Challenge does not mean you will pass a paid prop-firm evaluation or trade profitably.
Technology risk
Internet, platform, data-feed, broker or software failures can stop tools from working. Ten12 GuardX acts only while your MetaTrader terminal runs and is connected; it is a safety net, not a guarantee.
Psychological risk
Trading under stress leads to poor decisions. Set a risk per trade and a daily loss limit before you trade, and stop when you reach them. If trading is affecting your finances or wellbeing, step away and seek support.
