Risk disclosure

Trading foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs) and other leveraged products carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all of your invested capital. These products may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved.

Leverage works both ways

Leverage magnifies both profits and losses. A small movement in the market can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of your position, which can work against you as well as for you.

Most retail traders lose money

Across the brokers featured on this site, a significant majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs (commonly reported between 51% and 89%, depending on the broker and period). You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
