-[More Information Needed]
+The model is fine-tuned on specific data (cryptocurrency news and price data) and may not generalize well to other financial markets or different news sources. There could be biases based on the news outlets and timeframes present in the training data.
 
-### Recommendations
+### Risks
 
-<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->
+- **Market Volatility**: Cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile. The model’s predictions are based on past data and news, which may not always predict future market conditions accurately.
+- **Decision-making**: The model offers trading advice, but users should employ appropriate risk management techniques and not rely solely on the model for financial decisions.
 
-Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.
+### Limitations
 
-## How to Get Started with the Model
+- The model’s evaluation is primarily focused on profitability (Sharpe Ratio), and it may not account for other factors such as market liquidity, transaction fees, or slippage.
+- The model may not perform well in scenarios with significant market regime changes, such as sudden regulatory shifts or unexpected global events. 
 
-Use the code below to get started with the model.
+### Recommendations
 
-[More Information Needed]
+- **Risk Management**: Users should complement the model’s predictions with traditional risk management strategies and not use the model in isolation for trading.
+- **Bias Awareness**: Be aware of potential biases in the news sources and timeframe used in training. The model may underrepresent certain news sources or overemphasize specific types of news.
