Pro Desk Order Risk Disclosure

Version 2026-06-27 · Effective 2026-06-27

This document covers the risks specific to approving Pro desk orderson Artha — the mode in which a creator’s trade is prepared as a brokerage order that you must approve before it is sent. Read it together with the general Risk Disclosure, which covers all forms of trading on Artha. By approving an order through the Pro desk, you acknowledge the risks below and accept full responsibility for the trade executed in your brokerage account.

1. You approve every order before it is sent

Pro desk orders are not placed automatically. Each time the creator shares a trade, Artha computes a proportional order and notifies you (push, email, or Discord, per your settings). The order is only submitted to your brokerage after you tap Approve. Approval windows are time-bounded (currently 15 minutes); if you do not approve in time, the order expires and is not sent.

You can cancel a subscription at any time, change which channels Artha notifies you on, or skip any individual order without canceling. Notifications can be missed if your device is offline, push permissions are disabled, or your inbox filters our email — it is your responsibility to monitor your account.

2. You may be filled at materially different prices

Pro desk mirrors the creator’s trade as quickly as our systems and your brokerage allow, but it is not simultaneous. The price the creator receives and the price you receive can differ because of:

• Time elapsed between the creator’s fill and your order being routed to your brokerage.
• Liquidity in the security at the moment your order reaches the market. Thin order books amplify slippage.
• Differences in brokerage order routing, smart-routing logic, and venue selection.
• Pre-market, after-hours, or halted trading conditions that temporarily widen spreads or pause execution.

For volatile or illiquid securities, slippage can be many percent from the creator’s reference price. There is no guarantee that you will receive the same fill as the creator, and outcomes are not guaranteed.

3. Position sizing is proportional but imperfect

Pro desk sizes your order based on the creator’s position size relative to their account at the moment of the trade, then applies the same proportion to your account’s buying power. This produces a similar shape of exposure — not identical positions. Account balances move in real time on both sides, and the sizing you actually end up with may diverge from what was originally targeted.

Sizing may also be capped by your per-trade and per-day safety limits, by your brokerage’s buying-power rules, or by minimum-share or minimum-notional constraints on the underlying security. When a limit is hit, Artha may scale the order down, skip it, or surface a warning depending on which limit applied.

4. Orders can fail or partially fill

Pro desk orders may fail for reasons including:

• Insufficient buying power or pattern-day-trader restrictions.
• Brokerage outage, API rate limiting, or connectivity loss.
• Trading halts, regulatory blocks, or symbols that your brokerage does not support.
• Order rejections from your brokerage’s risk engine (e.g. a short-sale that hits a locate failure).

When an order fails, Artha records the failure and does not retry indefinitely. You will not be made whole for the missed entry or exit. Partial fills are recorded as placed and may leave you with a smaller position than the creator.

5. The creator can change strategies at any time

A creator you subscribed to for their conservative blue-chip approach may begin trading options, leveraged ETFs, or crypto. Auto- copy will mirror those trades unless you turn it off. Reviewing the creator’s recent activity and changing your subscription if it no longer suits you is your responsibility.

6. Margin and leverage amplify losses

If your brokerage account uses margin, auto-copied trades can place positions financed with borrowed capital. Losses on margin can exceed the amount you originally invested. You may receive margin calls and your brokerage may liquidate positions to satisfy them, which can crystallize losses at the worst possible time.

7. Safety limits reduce — but do not eliminate — exposure

Artha lets you set per-trade and per-day caps on the dollar amount Pro desk will spend. These caps stop runaway exposure, but they do not stop losses on positions already opened, do not cancel already-submitted orders, and do not protect against rapid market moves that occur between the creator’s trade and yours.

We recommend you set safety limits before enabling Pro desk, that you review them periodically, and that you reduce them or pause Pro desk during periods of unusual volatility.

8. Tax consequences

Every auto-copied trade is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. High-frequency strategies can generate substantial short-term capital gains taxes; wash-sale rules can disallow losses. Artha does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional before enabling Pro desk.

9. No guarantees

Artha does not guarantee that any Pro desk order will be placed, filled, sized correctly, or profitable. Past performance of any creator does not predict future results. See Section 12 of the Terms of Service for the complete disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability.

10. Acknowledgment

By enabling Pro desk on any subscription, you confirm that you have read this Pro Desk Order Risk Disclosure and the general Risk Disclosure, that you understand the risks described, and that you accept full responsibility for every trade executed in your brokerage account through the Pro desk feature.
