Risk Disclosure

Trading risk

Trading crypto, forex, shares and contracts for difference carries a high risk of losing money rapidly and is not suitable for everybody. Prices can move against a position by more than the amount deposited, and market conditions can change faster than any position can be closed.

Most retail clients lose money trading CFDs. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose, and you should not treat trading as a way to solve a financial problem.

Leverage

Leverage allows a position larger than the amount deposited to be opened. It magnifies gains and losses by the same multiple, so a small adverse price movement can produce a loss much larger than the margin committed to the trade.

Leverage limits for retail clients are set by ASIC and vary by asset class, from 30:1 on major currency pairs down to 2:1 on crypto. Negative balance protection means a retail client cannot lose more than the funds in the account, but it does not reduce the probability of losing them.

Automated and AI-assisted trading

Automated trading places orders without a person reviewing each one. Losses can therefore occur while you are not watching the account, including overnight and while you are asleep. No model is correct every time, and a strategy that performed well on historical data may perform poorly in live markets.

Automation does not remove the need to monitor an account. Risk settings such as stop-loss levels, risk per trade and daily loss limits need to be set deliberately and reviewed regularly.

Execution risk

Orders are not always filled at the requested price. In fast or thin markets, a position may be opened or closed at a worse price than expected, a difference known as slippage. Gaps over weekends and around scheduled announcements can be substantial.

A stop-loss order is a direction to close a position at the market once a level is reached. It is not a guarantee of that price and cannot prevent a loss larger than the level intended in a gapping market.

Technology risk

The platform depends on internet connectivity, third-party market data and broker infrastructure. Interruptions, delays or errors can prevent a position from being opened or closed when intended. Trading through a mobile connection or an unreliable network increases this risk.

Fraud and impersonation

Trading platforms are frequently impersonated. Fake websites, advertisements and callers using a legitimate company name are common, and they typically promise guaranteed or unusually consistent returns and apply pressure to deposit quickly.
