TRADING RISK

FX trading can result in losses.

Losses may occur when exchange rates move against expectations. FX and related contracts for difference do not guarantee principal or profits and may not be suitable for everyone.

When considering trading, you need to check the product, contract terms and rules applicable where you reside, and decide in light of your own circumstances.

LEVERAGE

Leverage also increases the impact of losses.

Leverage may allow a trading exposure larger than the funds deposited. As a result, even small price movements can have a greater effect on both gains and losses.

Important

During sudden market movements, even when forced close-out applies, positions may not close at the expected price and losses may exceed the margin deposited.

WHAT CAN CHANGE

Trading conditions can change, not just prices.

  • Costs and conditionsSpreads, commissions and swaps may vary by product, account and time.
