Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 29 August 2026

Cranes is a trading journal — a place to record and reflect on trades you decide on and execute elsewhere. Because our users trade high-risk products, we want the risk position stated plainly, in one place. This page sits alongside our Terms of Service.

Trading is high-risk

Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Forex, CFDs, futures and other leveraged products carry a high risk of losing money rapidly — the majority of retail accounts lose money trading them. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains, and losses can exceed deposits on some products and venues.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. That includes your own: statistics in your Cranes journal — win rates, profit factors, your Cranes Score, breakdowns — describe what happened, not what will happen. An edge that shows in your history may not persist.

What Cranes is — and is not

Cranes does not execute trades, does not hold funds, does not connect to your brokerage or prop firm account, and does not give financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Nothing in the product — the dashboard, analytics, Cranes Score, economic news feed, or any other feature — is a recommendation to buy, sell, hold or trade anything, and nothing in Cranes is a financial promotion or an invitation to engage in investment activity.

We are not authorised or regulated by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) or any other financial regulator, and we are not a licensed financial adviser in any jurisdiction. If you need advice about your circumstances, consult someone who is authorised to give it.

The economic news feed

The economic calendar shown in Cranes is sourced from a public, third-party data feed for informational context only. We do not verify its accuracy in real time, and it should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any trading decision.

Your data, your decisions

Journal analytics are only as accurate as what you record. Every trading decision you make — and every profit or loss that follows — is your own responsibility.

Imported statements (e.g. MT5 CSV exports) are parsed on a best-effort basis. Your broker's own records are always the authoritative version of your trading history — always verify imported trades before relying on them.
