Forex Risk Disclosure Statement

Trading foreign exchange carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

WARNING: YOU CAN RAPIDLY LOSE ALL OR SUBSTANTIAL PORTIONS OF THE FUNDS YOU DEPOSIT FOR TRADING.

1. Trading Involves Substantial Risk

The trading of currencies, futures, options, and other leveraged products (including Forex) involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You should be aware of and carefully consider the following points before determining whether such trading is appropriate for you:

  • Risk of Total Loss: Trading leveraged products means that a relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited to maintain your position, and you may incur losses *beyond* these amounts.
  • Leverage: The high degree of leverage often obtainable in Forex trading can work against you as well as for you. It can lead to large losses as well as gains.
  • Not Investment Advice: All information, software, articles, and training provided by ForexSci.com are for educational and scientific research purposes only. They do not constitute financial advice, investment advice, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument.

  • Slippage and Latency: The price at which an order is executed may be different from the price displayed in the Software due to market volatility, latency, and slippage.
  • Market Conditions: Market conditions (e.g., illiquidity, "fat finger" errors, or unexpected news events) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to execute transactions or liquidate positions.

  1. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
