Important Risk Warning

Trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and other leveraged products carries a high level of risk to your capital. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose. CFD trading may not be suitable for all investors. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved before trading.

1. General Risk Disclosure

Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The high degree of leverage available in CFD trading can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment; therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

2. Leverage Risk

Trading with leverage means that a small market movement can result in a proportionately larger movement in the value of your position. This can work in your favor or against you. A relatively small market movement may have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit. This may result in losing all of your capital, as well as being liable for additional losses beyond your initial investment.

3. Market Risk

Financial markets are subject to various risks including but not limited to:

  • Volatility Risk: Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably due to economic events, political developments, or market sentiment.
  • Liquidity Risk: In certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to execute trades at desired prices.
  • Gap Risk: Prices may "gap" significantly between trading sessions, potentially causing losses beyond your stop-loss levels.
  • Currency Risk: If you trade instruments denominated in a currency other than your account currency, exchange rate fluctuations may affect your profits and losses.
  • Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates may affect the value of your positions and the cost of holding them.

4. Technical Risk

Online trading involves technical risks including but not limited to hardware and software failures, internet connectivity issues, and system errors. These factors may affect order execution, timing, and pricing. We are not responsible for losses arising from such technical issues beyond our reasonable control.
