Risk Disclosure

Please read this Section carefully. If you don't understand any of the information provided in this disclosure please contact a professional independent financial advisor for assistance.

The National Futures Association (NFA) and CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), the regulatory agencies for the forex and futures markets in the United States of America, as well as other financial regulatory bodies from around the world, require that potential and active participants in these markets are clearly informed about potential risks in the forex market.

Risks Associated with Forex and Trading
Trading foreign currencies is a challenging and potentially profitable opportunity for educated and experienced investors. However, before deciding to participate in the forex market, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

There is considerable exposure to risk in any foreign exchange transaction. Any transaction involving currencies involves risks including, but not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency. Moreover, the leveraged nature of FX could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position. If you fail to meet any margin call within the time prescribed, your position will be liquidated and you will be responsible for any resulting losses. Investors may lower their exposure to risk by employing risk-reducing strategies such as 'stop-loss' or 'limit' orders.

There are also risks associated with utilizing an internet-based deal execution software application including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware and software.

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

Trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you.

THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM OR SYSTEM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS - ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
