1. GENERAL WARNING
This Risk Disclosure does not disclose all risks and significant aspects of trading in financial instruments.
Trading in foreign exchange (Forex), Contracts for Difference (CFDs), and other leveraged products involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your financial situation, investment objectives, level of experience, and risk tolerance. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to risk.
2. GENERAL INVESTMENT RISK
All investments carry risk.
- You may lose all or more than your initial investment
- Trading is speculative and not suitable for everyone
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Financial instruments are not insured or guaranteed
3. LEVERAGE RISK
Trading leveraged products involves significant risk.
Leverage allows you to control large positions with a relatively small amount of capital. However:
- Small market movements can result in large gains or losses
- Losses may exceed your initial deposit
- You may be required to deposit additional funds (margin calls)
Failure to meet margin requirements may result in automatic liquidation of your positions.
4. MARKET VOLATILITY
Financial markets are highly volatile and unpredictable.
Prices may fluctuate rapidly due to:

This volatility may result in significant losses within a short period of time.
5. LIQUIDITY RISK
In certain market conditions:
- It may be difficult or impossible to execute trades
