Section FIVE:
Risk Disclaimer
Risk of trading in leveraged foreign exchange contracts
The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange trading can be substantial. You may sustain
losses in excess of your initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as
"stop-loss" or "limit" orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts.
Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. You may be called
upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not
provided within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated. You will remain liable
for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether
such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
Risk of electronic trading
Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other electronic trading
systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be
exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software.
The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to
your instructions or is not executed at all.
For more details, please go to our website.
