Capital at risk
Forex and shares are volatile and you can lose some or all of your invested capital. Leveraged products can result in losses that exceed your deposit. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
1. Leveraged products are risky
Forex and CFDs are complex instruments that carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. [Add the percentage of retail investor accounts that lose money, as required by the regulator.]
2. Leverage magnifies losses
Leverage lets you open a position larger than your deposit. Small price moves can lead to large losses, and you can lose more than your initial investment unless negative balance protection applies.
[Final wording to be approved by Legal and Compliance.]
3. Market volatility and gaps
Prices can move quickly and may gap between trading sessions, which can cause orders to execute at a different price from the one you expected.
4. Liquidity and spreads
In fast or thin markets spreads can widen and some orders may not be filled.
5. Currency and conversion risk
Trading instruments in a currency different from your account currency exposes you to exchange-rate movements.
6. Past performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
