Risk Warning
Last updated 16 October 2026
1. CFDs and forex are high risk
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Each broker page shows that broker's own published share of retail accounts that lose money.
2. Leverage
Leverage lets you open a position larger than your deposit. It makes losses as large as gains. With high leverage a small price move can wipe out your account.
3. Only trade money you can afford to lose
Never trade with money you need for rent, food, school fees or debts. Start with a demo account and a small deposit.
4. Check the licence
Make sure the company you sign up with is licensed in your country or by a strong regulator, and that the legal entity name on your account matches the licence. Protections differ by regulator.
5. Not advice
Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any financial product.
