Risk Statement

Trading gold (XAUUSD) on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. It is possible to lose some, or all, of the capital allocated to a trading system, and, depending on your broker’s leverage and margin terms, it is possible to lose more than your allocated capital. You should not commit capital you cannot afford to lose.

AlphaMaverick generates an algorithmic strategy signal; your broker executes it inside your own brokerage account. We never take custody of, or have withdrawal access to, your capital. Your broker capital is exposed to full market risk at all times it is deployed, independent of whether your Alpha Maverick membership is on a paid or free-trial period.

AM1 uses a baseline of 0.01 lot per $1,000 of account equity. At that baseline, AM1 targets an approximate maximum weekly gain of 15%, with a corresponding approximate maximum weekly risk exposure of 15%. Increasing lot size increases both potential gain and potential loss proportionally; a doubled lot size roughly doubles both. Risk and reward always scale together; a higher lot size is never inherently "safer" or "better," only more exposed.

AM2 uses a lighter baseline of 0.01 lot per $2,000 of account equity, half of AM1’s exposure per dollar, reflecting its much higher trade frequency and the absence of a maximum weekly profit target. AM2 is managed against an event-based drawdown parameter rather than a weekly gain/risk percentage. This is an internal operational parameter, not a guaranteed limit: it does not cap your loss, and gaps, slippage or broker conditions can produce losses beyond it. No drawdown level is guaranteed. See the Systems page for the full comparison.

Automated systems can and do experience periods of drawdown, and can be affected by abnormal market conditions, broker-side infrastructure issues, or external shocks. We publish a candid account of material events in 2026, including a February volatility shock, a March/April external shock after which the strategy stopped issuing signals, and a June infrastructure failure, in the 2026 In Review. AlphaMaverick can stop issuing signals; it cannot close positions, halt execution or intervene in your account, as only you and your broker can do that. We encourage every subscriber to read it before subscribing.

Past performance, whether shown on the Results page, the Version History page, or elsewhere on this site, is not a reliable indicator of future results. Market conditions change, and a system that has performed well historically can still produce losses in the future.

Your broker (currently VT Markets, minimum $1,000 to open an account) is a separate, independent company. Alpha Maverick is not responsible for your broker’s deposits, withdrawals, compliance, systems, or servers. Broker-side outages, execution delays, or requotes can affect your results independently of the Alpha Maverick system logic.

The Risk Calculator produces an arithmetic illustration, not a recommendation. It does not account for your financial situation. You are responsible for the final lot size and risk settings you choose to run in your own account.

If you are unsure whether trading gold, or running AM1 and/or AM2, is suitable for your circumstances, we recommend speaking with a duly authorised, independent financial adviser before subscribing or funding a broker account.
