Risk Disclosure Statement

1. General Risk Warning

The risk of loss in online trading of stocks, options, futures, currencies, foreign equities, and fixed income can be substantial. Before trading, clients must read the relevant risk disclosure statements on our Warnings and Disclosures page. Trading on margin is only for experienced investors with high risk tolerance. You may lose more than your initial investment.

2. Market Risk

Financial markets are subject to various risks that can affect the value of your investments:

• Price Volatility: Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
• Market Gaps: Prices may gap significantly between trading sessions, potentially triggering stop-loss orders at unfavorable prices.
• Liquidity Risk: In certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to execute orders at desired prices.
• Weekend/Holiday Risk: Markets may open at significantly different prices after weekends or holidays.

3. Leverage Risk

Leverage amplifies both potential profits and potential losses:

• A small market movement can result in proportionally much larger gains or losses
• You may lose your entire investment and potentially owe additional funds
• Margin requirements may increase at any time, requiring additional deposits
• Positions may be liquidated without notice if margin requirements are not met
• Interest charges on leveraged positions can accumulate over time

4. Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks

Cryptocurrency trading carries additional unique risks:

• Extreme Volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can swing 10-20% or more in a single day

• Technology Risk: Blockchain networks may experience congestion, forks, or failures
• Security Risk: Despite security measures, hacking and theft risks exist
• Project Risk: Many cryptocurrency projects fail or become worthless

5. Forex Trading Risks

Foreign exchange trading involves significant risks:

• Currency Risk: Exchange rates can fluctuate significantly based on economic and political factors
• Interest Rate Risk: Central bank decisions can cause rapid price movements
• Country Risk: Political instability can affect currency values
• Weekend Gaps: Prices may move significantly over weekends when markets are closed

6. Futures and Derivatives Risks

Security futures involve a high degree of risk and are not suitable for all investors. The amount you may lose may be greater than your initial investment. Before trading security futures, read the Security Futures Risk Disclosure Statement.

• Futures contracts have expiration dates and may settle differently than expected

• Slippage: Orders may execute at prices different from those displayed
• Data Accuracy: Price quotes may be delayed or incorrect during system issues

8. Copy Trading Risks

While copy trading allows you to replicate other traders' strategies, it carries specific risks:

• Past performance of traders you copy is not indicative of future results
• You may not fully understand the strategies being employed
• Execution may differ from the original trader due to timing and market conditions
• You remain responsible for all trades executed in your account
