Contracts for difference (CFDs) and leveraged forex products are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose your money, and you should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Before trading, make sure you understand how these products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
CFDs are traded on margin, which means you only deposit a fraction of the full value of a position. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses: a small price movement against your position can result in a large loss relative to the margin you have deposited. If your account equity falls below the required margin level, some or all of your open positions may be closed automatically at the prevailing market price, which may be less favourable than you expect.
Financial markets can move quickly and unpredictably. Prices of currencies, indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies can be affected by economic data, interest rate decisions, political events and market sentiment. Prices may gap, meaning they move from one level to another without trading in between, for example around major news or when markets reopen. In these conditions, orders such as stop-loss orders may be executed at a worse price than the level you set.
Cryptocurrency markets can be particularly volatile and may be less liquid than other markets. Prices can change significantly within very short periods, and trading may be affected by technical issues, market disruptions or changes in the legal and regulatory treatment of digital assets.
Trading involves costs, which may include spreads, commissions, overnight financing (swap) charges and currency conversion fees. These costs reduce any returns and apply whether a trade makes a profit or a loss. Please review the applicable costs for each instrument before you place a trade.
