Main Title

The Client should not engage in any investment directly or indirectly in Financial Instruments unless he knows and understands the risks involved for each one of the Financial Instruments. So, prior to applying for an account the Client should consider carefully whether investing in a specific Financial Instrument is suitable for him in the light of his circumstances and financial resources.

Warning Title

  1. The Company does not and cannot guarantee the initial capital of the Client's portfolio or its value at any time or any money invested in any financial instrument.
  2. The Client should acknowledge that, regardless of any information which may be offered by the Company, the value of any investment in Financial Instruments may fluctuate downwards or upwards and it is even probable that the investment may become of no value.
  3. The Client should acknowledge that he runs a great risk of incurring losses and damages as a result of the purchase and/or sale of any Financial Instrument and accepts that he is willing to undertake this risk.
  4. Information of the previous performance of a Financial Instrument does not guarantee its current and/or future performance. The use of historical data does not constitute a binding or safe forecast as to the corresponding future performance of the Financial Instruments to which the said information refers.
  5. The Client is hereby advised that the transactions undertaken through the dealing services of the Company may be of a speculative nature. Large losses may occur in a short period of time, equalling the total of funds deposited with the Company.
  6. Some Financial Instruments may not become immediately liquid as a result of reduced demand and the Client may not be in a position to sell them or obtain information on the value of these Financial Instruments or the extent of the associated risks.
  7. When a Financial Instrument is traded in a currency other than the currency of the Client's country of residence, any changes in the exchange rates may have a negative effect on its value, price and performance.
  8. A Financial Instrument on foreign markets may entail risks different to the usual risks of the markets in the Client's country of residence. In some cases, these risks may be greater. The prospect of profit or loss from transactions on foreign markets is also affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
  9. A Derivative Financial Instrument (i.e. option, future, forward, swap, CFD, NDT) may be a non-delivery spot transaction giving an opportunity to make profit on changes in currency rates, stock market indices, commodity, stock market indices or share prices called the underlying instrument. The value of the Derivative Financial Instrument may be directly affected by the price of the security or any other underlying asset which is the object of the acquisition.
  10. Derivative securities / markets can be highly volatile. The prices of Derivative Financial Instruments, including CFDs, and the underlying asset may fluctuate rapidly and over wide ranges and may reflect unforeseeable events or changes in conditions, none of which can be controlled by the Client or the Company. Under certain market conditions it may be difficult or impossible to execute an order.
  11. The prices of CFDs will be influenced by, amongst other things, changing supply and demand relationships, governmental, agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events and the prevailing psychological characteristics of the relevant market place.
  12. The Client must not purchase a Derivative Instrument unless he is willing to undertake the risks of losing entirely all the money which he has invested and also any additional commissions and other expenses incurred.
  13. Under certain market conditions it may be difficult or impossible to execute an order
  14. Placing Stop-Loss Orders will not necessarily limit your losses. However, under certain market conditions the execution of a Stop-Loss Order may be at a price worse than anticipated and the realized losses can be larger than expected.
  15. There is a risk that the Client's trades in any Financial Instruments may be or become subject to tax and/or any other duty for example because of changes in legislation or his personal circumstances. The Company does not warrant that no tax and/or any other stamp duty will be payable. The Client is responsible for any taxes and/or any other duty which may accrue in respect of his trades.
  16. A Bank or Broker through whom the Company deals with could have interests contrary to your interests.
  17. The insolvency or default of a Bank or Broker used by the Company to effect its transactions may lead to your positions being closed out against your wishes.
  18. The Client's attention is expressly drawn to the fact that a transaction undertaken in your account may be or may not be traded on a regulated market or in a stock exchange, so that it cannot be excluded that a particular price might not be quoted at all times or that it may be difficult to effect transactions or a price might not be made known at all times or that it may be difficult to effect transactions or to liquidate the position of a product at a reasonable price.
  19. Trading on-line, no matter how convenient or efficient, does not necessarily reduce risks associated with currency trading.
  20. There is a risk that the Client's trades in Financial Instruments may be or become subject to tax and/or any other duty or other charges besides the stamp duty or any other duty, for example: any taxes and/or duties relating to gains or profits and/or in connection with credit derivates. If there is tax and/or stamps of any duty at all, it is possible that no tax credit can be obtained and/or that tax may be due calculated in more than one country. The Client should be responsible for any taxes and/or any other duty which may accrue in respect of the trades.
  21. Before the Client begins to trade, he should obtain details of all commissions and other charges for which the Client will be liable. If any charges are not expressed in money terms (but for example as a dealing spread), the Client should obtain a clear and written explanation, including appropriate examples, of what this means in specific money terms.
  22. The Company will not provide the Client with investment advice relating to investments or possible transactions in investments or make investment recommendations of any kind
  23. The Company may be required to hold the Client's money in an account that is segregated from other clients and the Company's money in accordance with current regulations, but this may not afford complete protection
  24. Transactions over an Online Trading Platform carry risk
  25. If the Client undertakes transactions on an electronic system, he will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software (Internet / Servers). The result of any system failure may be that his order is either not executed according to his instructions or it is not executed at all.
