Risk Warnings by Asset Class

Forex Trading Risk Warning

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

Leverage can work both for and against you. The high degree of leverage can lead to substantial losses as well as gains. You could lose some or all of your initial investment.

EU/UK Specific: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

Cryptocurrency Trading Risk Warning

Cryptocurrency trading carries extreme risks including:

  • Extreme price volatility and unpredictable market movements
  • Regulatory uncertainty and potential changes in legal status
  • Technology risks including hacking, loss of access, and system failures
  • Lack of regulatory protection and consumer safeguards
  • Potential for total loss of investment

Cryptocurrencies are not regulated by traditional financial authorities in most jurisdictions. The regulatory landscape is rapidly evolving.

Stock Trading Risk Warning

All stock investments involve risks and uncertainties. Stock prices can be extremely volatile and may be affected by economic conditions, market sentiment, regulatory changes, and global events beyond any company's control. You may lose some or all of your investment.

Futures and Derivatives Risk Warning

Futures and options trading involves substantial risk of loss.

The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning transactions are highly leveraged. You may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds.
