Forex Trading Risks

⚠️ HIGH RISK WARNING

FOREX AND CFD TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. YOU COULD LOSE MORE THAN YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT.

Forex (foreign exchange) and CFD (Contract for Difference) trading carry a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade forex or CFDs, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

Key Risks Include:

  • Market Risk: Currency values can fluctuate rapidly due to economic, political, and market factors.
  • Leverage Risk: High leverage can amplify both profits and losses significantly.
  • Liquidity Risk: Some currency pairs may have limited liquidity, especially during certain market hours.
  • Counterparty Risk: Risk that your broker may default on their obligations.
  • Operational Risk: Technical failures, system outages, or communication breakdowns.
  • Regulatory Risk: Changes in regulations may affect your trading activities.
  • Currency Risk: If your account is denominated in a different currency than your base currency.

You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
