Risk Disclosure
Leveraged futures can cost you more than you deposit. Read this before enabling live execution.
Last updated 30 July 2026
Market risk
Prices move fast and gap. Positions can be liquidated in full, including while you are asleep or away from the market. Merc opens positions in cross margin by default (isolated only where the contract allows nothing else), so one position's loss can draw on margin shared with your other positions.
Leverage risk
Leverage multiplies both gains and losses. Merc sizes from your risk setting rather than the signal's leverage, and a leverage cap reduces exposure; neither removes the possibility of total loss.
Signal risk
Signal quality belongs to the source you Activate — a Discord community, a Copy trader publishing their own MEXC activity, or Apollo. One Catalog source, Apollo, is Merc-owned; its model ranks candidate tickets and is as capable of being wrong as any other source. Automation makes their calls faster to act on, not more likely to be correct. Reputation shown in the catalog is follower outcome data, not an endorsement.
Automation risk
Parsing errors, ambiguous messages, exchange API failures, rate limits, or connectivity loss can cause a signal to be skipped, delayed, refused, or executed differently than intended. Auto-chase can move a limit entry after the signal; Smart Activation can Deactivate a source and pull its resting entries. Merc's operator kill switch can pause execution at any time. The price shown on your desk can differ from the exchange's stop trigger.
Configuration risk
Your risk rules cap how much you offer the market; they do not make futures safe. Disabling the stop-loss requirement, enabling market entries, raising daily guards, or sizing large materially increases risk, and those settings carry explicit warnings. Guards refuse new trades; they do not close open ones. Using a key that is not trade-only or IP-bound also increases risk: a leaked trade key can still open harmful positions.
Plan and payment risk
When a Trial or subscription ends unpaid, Active sources stop taking new trades and trading locks. Open positions and their stops stay on your MEXC account and remain yours to manage. Subscription payments in USDT or PHP are final; no refunds.
No guarantees
Past performance of any source, strategy, setting, or PnL card does not indicate future results. Ranks, badges, and race boards are recognition, not evidence that a strategy works. Trade only capital you can afford to lose.
No custody
Merc never holds funds. There is no custody of user balances; orders are placed on your own MEXC Futures account using the trade-only API key you provide.
Merc executes sources you Activate. One Catalog source, Apollo, is Merc-owned. Merc holds no funds. This is not financial, legal, or tax advice. There is no guarantee. Apollo's past results do not predict future ones. Trading leveraged futures can lose you more than you deposit. If any of this is unclear, do not use Merc.
