Risk warning
Last updated: 26 October 2026
Risk Warning: Trading Leveraged Products such as Forex and Derivatives may not be suitable for all investors as they carry a high degree of risk to your capital. Please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved, taking into account your investment objectives and level of experience, before trading, and if necessary, seek independent advice. Please read the full Risk Disclosure.
What it means in practice
- Leverage multiplies both gains and losses. A small price move can mean a large loss in your account.
- You can lose the capital you deposit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
- Practice on a demo account until you understand how a trade works, how much you are risking and how it is calculated.
- No method removes risk. Be wary of any promise of steady or guaranteed profits.
