Risk Warning

Last Updated: December 2024

1. General Risk Disclosure

Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of financial instruments may fluctuate, and as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and market events may magnify these risks.

2. Leverage and Margin Risk

Trading with leverage means that you can control a large position with a relatively small amount of capital. While this can amplify your profits, it can also amplify your losses. You could lose more than your initial deposit. Key points:

• Leverage magnifies both gains and losses
• Margin requirements can change without notice
• You may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice
• Failure to meet margin calls may result in position liquidation

3. Market Risk

Financial markets are subject to various risks including:

• Volatility risk - rapid and significant price movements
• Liquidity risk - difficulty executing trades at desired prices
• Gap risk - prices may jump between trading sessions
• Currency risk - exchange rate fluctuations
• Interest rate risk - changes in interest rates affecting valuations

4. Technology Risk

Electronic trading systems are subject to:

• Hardware and software failures
• Internet connectivity issues
• Delays in order execution
• System overloads during high volatility

You should have contingency plans for technology failures.
