Handbook / Risk and legal
Risk and legal
The risks of trading, what Nexural is and is not, and who to contact.
In one sentence
Trading can lose you money fast, and Nexural shares education and our own trades, not personal advice.
Why it matters
You should know the risks before you trade, not after. You should also know exactly what we are, and what we are not.
This page has the full wording. It is legal text, so it is harder to read than the rest of the handbook. Please read it anyway.
Do this
- Read the three statements below, in full.
- Only trade money you can afford to lose.
- Do your own research. You make your own choices.
- If a product is new to you, read about its risks first. Leveraged funds, options, futures and crypto each have their own.
- Questions about legal matters? Email legal@nexural.io.
Risk of loss
Trading stocks, options, futures and crypto involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose more than you invest in leveraged products. Only trade money you can afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
What Nexural is
Nexural is a trading community and publisher. Everything we share is general education and our own trades — the same for every member, not advice tailored to you. We are not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading advisor, or commodity pool operator. Do your own research; you trade at your own risk.
Special risks by product
Futures and leveraged ETFs can lose value fast; leveraged ETFs reset daily and can decay over time. Options can expire worthless — read the OCC's 'Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options' before trading them. Crypto is highly volatile, trades around the clock, and is not SIPC- or FDIC-protected.
Who runs Nexural
Nexural is operated by Sage Ideas LLC, a Florida limited liability company. Address: 1672 Alden Rd #083, Orlando, FL 32803.

Real example
This is a real loss from Sage's own trade log. ETHU is a leveraged fund that follows Ether. He sold it well below what he paid. Leveraged funds can fall this fast, and losses like this can happen.

Common mistakes
- Thinking a stop always protects you. Price can jump past a stop, for example overnight or on news.
- Using money you need. Rent money is not trading money.
- Skipping the fine print. The full disclaimer on nexural.io is the final word.
