Bybit Trading Platform Risk Confirmation Agreement

Foreword

The derivatives trading services provided by the Bybit platform are highly leveraged and high-risk, and are only suitable for professional investment institutions or people with rich investment experience background, or can fully understand all risks related to cryptocurrencies derivatives trading, and are able to withstand any total investment losses.

Therefore, investors should read carefully before trading on cryptocurrencies derivatives, and decide for themselves whether to participate in cryptocurrencies derivatives trading based on their investment experience, goals, financial status, and ability to bear risks. Once this agreement is agreed, this represents the investor's full understanding and consent to the trading risks of Bybit’s cryptocurrencies derivatives margin trading on the exchange platform.  

Present Risks

1. Risk of price fluctuation

1.   The trading of goods and products, real or virtual, as well as virtual currencies, involves significant risk. Prices can and do fluctuate on any given day. Due to such price fluctuations and volatility, you may increase or lose value in your assets at any given moment. Any currency – virtual or not – may be subject to large swings in value and may even become worthless. There is an inherent risk that losses will occur as a result of buying, selling or trading on the market.
   
2.  Cryptocurrency derivatives trading is probably susceptible to irrational (or rational) bubbles or loss of confidence, which could collapse demand relative to supply. For example, confidence might collapse in Bitcoin because of unexpected changes imposed by the software developers or others, a government crackdown, the creation of superior competing alternative currencies, or a deflationary or inflationary spiral. Confidence might also collapse because of technical problems: if the anonymity of the system is compromised, if money is lost or stolen, or if hackers or governments can prevent any transactions from settling.

2. Trading Risks

1. Investors need to understand that derivatives trading is characterized by high leverage, which may lead to rapid profit or loss. If the direction of the trade is opposite to the fluctuation of the market, it will cause a large loss. Depending on the extent of the loss, investors need to add margins or reduce positions, otherwise, their positions may be forced to liquidate, and investors must bear all the losses caused thereby.
   
   
2. When the investor submits a single market order/limit order / conditional order within the trading system of the exchange, it is irrevocable, and the investor must accept the risks that this method may bring.

•  The exchange does not make profit guarantees for investors and does not share profits or share risks with investors.
  
  
• Since this platform is also used for trading derivatives, additional risks are involved. In extreme market conditions, if a position loss during a certain period of time has depleted the insurance fund, any further losses will be paid by Bybit based on the profit gained by other traders on the platform based on the ADL ranking system. In this case, we will lock some or all of the positions of the traders whose rankings are being Auto-deleverage according to the scale of the loss to cover the losses caused by the liquidation of other traders' positions. Bybit will take this measure after the insurance fund depletes. The insurance fund will be used to make up for the system loss caused by the position opening. The current balance of the insurance fund will be displayed on the platform's "Daily Insurance Fund Balance" page.
