Know the risk
before you trade.

• Magnified Losses: Financial leverage amplifies both profits and losses. A small market movement against your position can result in a significant loss of funds, potentially exceeding your initial investment.

• Market Volatility: Prices of underlying assets (currencies, metals, crypto, indices) can fluctuate rapidly due to geopolitical events, central bank policies, economic releases, and sudden liquidity shifts.

• Gapping & Slippage: Sudden price movements ("gaps") can occur during weekends, major news announcements, or market opens. Stop-loss orders are not guaranteed to execute at the exact requested price during volatile or illiquid periods.

• Overnight Rollover (Swap): Holding open positions past daily rollover times may incur financing charges (swaps) based on prevailing interest rate differentials.

• System Failures: Trading relies on hardware, software, internet connections, and telecom networks. Interruptions, latency, or system failures may prevent you from placing, modifying, or executing orders.

• Cybersecurity: Online trading exposes clients to risks associated with internet connectivity, including potential malware, unauthorized access, or cyberattacks on personal devices.

Trading digital assets and cryptocurrencies involves heightened volatility, unique regulatory developments, and potential technological risks (e.g., blockchain forks, protocol bugs) that can severely impact liquidity and valuations.
