Risks of Electronic Trading
1. Lack of Availability Guarantee: Electronic trading platforms may only sometimes ensure availability, which could result in difficulties in executing trades efficiently. This lack of guarantee can lead to disruptions in trading activities, potentially causing inconvenience for users during critical market periods.
2. Disclaimer of Liability: Vendors frequently limit their liability to a minimal extent, leaving customers with scant protection in the event of system failures or errors. Such disclaimers may leave customers vulnerable to financial losses without adequate recourse in cases of vendor negligence or technical malfunctions.
3. Unknown or Changing Terms: Vendors retain the right to unilaterally modify terms, even if the initial contract appears favorable, introducing uncertainty and potential risks for users. These changes could impact users’ trading experiences and may necessitate continuous monitoring of contractual agreements to ensure compliance and mitigate potential adverse effects.
4. Handling of Data: Some vendors may lack clear terms regarding the handling of trading and other data, raising concerns about confidentiality and data usage. Users may be uncertain about how their sensitive information is being managed and whether it is adequately protected against unauthorized access or misuse.
5. Unauthorized Credential Use: Users are typically accountable for issues related to the unauthorized use of their credentials, including access by unauthorized individuals or misuse by employees or hackers. This places the burden on users to maintain robust security practices and remain vigilant against potential threats to their account security.
