Before engaging in foreign exchange or precious metals trading, you must be aware of the risks which may be involved in such trading. You should not entre into a transaction unless you fully understand.
A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, or to maintain sufficient usable margin in your account, your position may be liquidated at a loss without notice.
Market conditions liquidity or the operation of the rules of certain markets (suspension of trading in any currency because of price limits, government intervention) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect transaction or liquidate positions.
Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees, markups, rollovers, interest rate differential and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit or increase your loss.
Transaction on currencies of other countries in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular transaction. Your local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or market in other jurisdictions where your transaction has been effected. You should ask the firm with which you deal for details about the types of orders available your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before you start to trade.
