Risk Warning
Prospective client should study the following risk Warning carefully. Please note that we have not explored or explain all the risks involved when dealing in Forex market. We outline the general risk of dealing in Forex market on a fair and non-misleading basis.
Contracts for Difference (CFD) trading carries a high level of risk to your capital and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. CFD trading may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved. Before deciding to trade, you need to ensure that you understand the risks involved considering your investment objectives and level of experience. Past performance of CFDs is not a reliable indicator of future results. Most CFDs have no set maturity date - CFD positions typically mature on the date you choose to close the relevant existing open position. You should seek independent financial advice, if you feel it is necessary or appropriate. Please read carefully the relevant Risk Disclosure, available here Legal Documentation.
