Full Risk Disclosure

General Risk Statement

Trading foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), cryptocurrencies, spread betting, and other derivative products on margin carries significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage available can work against you as well as for you.

Before deciding to trade these products, 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 and potentially more than your deposited funds. Therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Specific Risk Factors

Leverage Risk

Leverage allows you to gain exposure to financial markets with a smaller initial capital outlay. However, leverage magnifies both profits and losses. A small adverse market movement can result in the loss of your entire deposit and you may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your positions.

Market Risk

Financial markets can be highly volatile. Prices can shift rapidly and unpredictably due to various factors including economic announcements, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. There is no guarantee that strategies which have worked in the past will continue to be successful.

Liquidity Risk

Market conditions can change rapidly, resulting in difficulty executing trades at desired prices. During periods of low liquidity or high volatility, spreads may widen significantly, and you may be unable to close positions at expected prices.

Counterparty Risk

When trading OTC derivatives, you are exposed to the credit risk of your counterparty. If your broker becomes insolvent, you may lose some or all of your funds, even if held in segregated accounts.

Technical Risk

Trading platforms, internet connections, and other technical infrastructure can fail. You may experience losses due to system failures, connectivity issues, or delays in order execution.

Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks

• Extreme Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can fluctuate wildly, sometimes moving 20% or more in a single day
• Regulatory Risk: Cryptocurrencies face evolving and uncertain regulatory environments globally
• Security Risk: Digital wallets and exchanges can be hacked, resulting in permanent loss of funds
• Limited Recourse: Cryptocurrency transactions are generally irreversible with limited consumer protections
• Market Manipulation: Cryptocurrency markets may be subject to manipulation due to lower liquidity and regulation

Regional Regulatory Warnings

Risk Management Considerations

While we provide educational content about risk management strategies, implementing these strategies does not eliminate risk:

• Stop Losses: May not execute at your specified price during volatile conditions (slippage)
• Diversification: Does not guarantee profit or protect against loss in declining markets
• Hedging: Can limit profits as well as losses and involves additional costs
• Position Sizing: Even small positions can result in significant losses with leverage
