Trading foreign exchange (forex), commodities (like Gold), indices, and other leveraged financial derivatives carries an extremely high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your deposited capital.
The high degree of leverage available in retail forex and contract-for-difference (CFD) trading can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
Financial markets are subject to extreme fluctuations in price, which can occur suddenly and unpredictably. These shifts can be caused by political shifts, central bank rate decisions, macroeconomic announcements, or sudden news events. Under certain volatile conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position, adjust stops, or fill orders at target prices (slippage/gapping).
Leverage allows you to control a large contract size with a relatively small deposit (margin). While leverage can increase your potential returns, it also magnifies your potential losses. If market movements go against your position, you may receive a margin call or face the automatic liquidation of your active positions without notice.
