Risk Disclosure

RISK WARNING: CFDs are leveraged products that incur a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all your capital. Therefore, it may not be suitable for all investors. You should not risk more than you are prepared to lose and before deciding to trade, please ensure you understand the risks involved, take the level of your experience into consideration and seek independent advice if necessary. We strictly do not provide investment advice.

You agree to use our site(s) at your own risk. This Risk Disclosure Notice should be read in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions and it should be noted that it is impossible for this Disclosure to contain all the risks and aspects involved in trading CFD’s. Therefore, you need to ensure that your decision is made on a well-educated and informed basis but as a minimum you should take the following into consideration:

Without limiting the foregoing, the financial services contained within this site are suitable only for traders who are able to bear the loss of all monies they invest, who understand the risks and have experience in taking risks involved in the acquisition and trade of financial contracts. The maximum loss that may be incurred by any trader is the amount of money paid by him/her to the Company, including rolling fees (if applicable in the account type) for all deals.

International currency prices are highly volatile and are very difficult to predict. Due to such volatility and in addition to the spread that our liquidity provider(s) adds to all calculations and quotes, no financial contract purchased or other service offered on our site(s) may be considered as a safe trade.

The calculation of the price to be paid (or the payout to be received) for financial contracts traded on our site(s) at the time the financial a contract is purchased or sold, is given to us by our liquidity provider(s) and is based on the availability of market information and a complex arithmetic calculation derived from best estimates of market prices, the expected level of interest rates, implied volatilities and other market conditions. The value of your financial contracts may increase or decrease based on market conditions and may be amplified due to the use of leverage which means that a relatively small market movement may lead to a proportionally much larger movement in the value of your position.

Rollover Risk: Rollover occurs when a currency position is held open overnight. Depending on the interest rate differential between the two currencies traders can earn rollover or pay rollover. Depending on the volume of the transaction, rollover can add a significant extra cost or profit to the transaction.

Subject to market conditions, Stop Loss Orders shall be executed either at the exact exchange rate selected by you, in which case the amount will be calculated automatically, or at the exact amount of loss selected by you, in which case the exchange rate will be calculated accordingly. A transaction of that nature shall be executed as soon as the distinctive (“indicative”) exchange rate is found on the electronic trading platform which, including our spread, is either identical to the order given by you, or indicates an identical amount of loss declared by you. In case no market information is available or under abnormal market conditions when our liquidity provider(s) do not transfer a price to us, the order may return an error message and could be cancelled.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk can affect your ability to trade. Some financial instruments for a certain period of time may experience low liquidity, and the client may not be able to buy or sell them or easily obtain price information on the value of these financial instruments.

The financial contract prices (or the payout amounts) offered on the electronic trading platform may differ substantially from prices available in the primary markets where such contracts are traded. Each financial contract purchased by a trader via our site(s) is an individual Agreement made between that customer and one of our liquidity providers and is not transferable, negotiable or assignable to or with any third party. The Company does not provide a market amongst or between traders.

In Forex, the term slippage refers to the difference between the expected price and the execution price for a particular transaction.

If the execution price is better than the price requested by the Client this is referred to as ‘positive slippage’. In contrast, if the execution price is worse than the price requested by the Client this is referred to as ‘negative slippage’.

Please be advised that ‘slippage’ is a real-world phenomenon of the foreign exchange markets under conditions* of low liquidity or high volatility due to news announcements, economic events and market openings, therefore trading according to news cannot be guaranteed.

It should be noted that during abnormal market conditions the price at which a trade is executed at may vary significantly from the price originally requested. This may occur, for example, at the following cases*:

a) During market opening times,
b) During news releases,
c) During volatile periods where prices may move significantly up or down and away from declared price,
d) Where there is rapid price movement, if the price rises or falls in one trading session to such an extent that under the rules of the relevant exchange, trading is suspended or restricted,
e) If there is insufficient liquidity for the execution of the specific volume at the declared price
