Risk Warning! 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.
