Risk warning
Trading CFDs, forex, futures, crypto and prop-firm evaluations carries a high risk of losing money. Read this before you trade.
CFDs and leveraged products
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A large share of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Each provider publishes the percentage of its own retail accounts that lose money; check the figure on the provider's site before you open an account.
Forex, futures and crypto
Prices can move quickly and against you. With leverage, losses can exceed what you expected and, depending on the product and provider, may exceed your deposit. Crypto-assets are highly volatile and may be unregulated in your country, with little or no investor protection.
Prop-firm evaluations
Prop-firm challenges are paid evaluations, usually on simulated accounts. You can lose the fee you pay if you break a rule, and a funded account can be closed under the firm's terms. Prop firms are generally not brokers and may not be regulated as financial services firms. Read the firm's full rules and payout terms before you buy.
