Trading foreign exchange, CFDs, gold (XAUUSD), and other leveraged financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. It is possible to lose some or all of your initial investment; therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
RooiKat Apex, and any other Expert Advisor (EA) sold or distributed by Gryphon Industries, is an automation tool that executes trades on your MetaTrader 5 account based on programmed logic. Use of an EA does not eliminate trading risk. No Expert Advisor, including RooiKat Apex, guarantees profit — no representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in any marketing material, backtest, or optimization result. Specific risks of automated trading include:
Any backtested, optimized, or hypothetical performance results referenced by Gryphon Industries (including in marketing materials, optimization guides, or the MT5 Strategy Tester) have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading. Backtested results are achieved with the benefit of hindsight and do not account for all market conditions, liquidity constraints, or broker-specific execution factors that may affect real trading outcomes. Past performance, whether actual or hypothetical, is not indicative of future results.
Nothing on gryphon-industries.com, in any Gryphon Industries product, or in any accompanying documentation (including the RooiKat Apex Optimization Guide) constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Gryphon Industries is a software provider, not a licensed financial advisor, broker-dealer, or investment manager, and is not registered with any financial regulatory authority in any jurisdiction. You should consult a qualified, independent financial advisor before making any trading or investment decision.
If you use a Gryphon Industries EA on a proprietary trading firm ("prop firm") funded or evaluation account, you are solely responsible for configuring the EA's risk settings to comply with that firm's specific rules (including daily loss limits, maximum drawdown limits, and any prohibited trading practices). Gryphon Industries does not guarantee that any configuration will keep you within a given prop firm's rules, and is not responsible for challenge fees, account breaches, or funded account terminations resulting from EA use.
Automated trading depends on uninterrupted operation of MetaTrader 5, a stable internet or VPS connection, and correct broker server function. Power outages, VPS downtime, broker server issues, or platform disconnection can prevent the EA from opening, managing, or closing trades as intended, which may result in unexpected losses.
Automated gold and forex trading is not suitable for every trader. You should only proceed if you understand how the relevant instruments, leverage, and the specific EA's strategy (DCA basket management, confidence-scaled sizing) work, and you are financially able to bear the potential loss of your entire trading capital.
