Risk Disclosure: Trading Forex, CFDs, and Cryptocurrencies involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage creates additional risk and loss exposure. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange, crypto, or any other financial instrument, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

There is a possibility that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your invested capital and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
