Trading Foreign Exchange (FX / Forex ) and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) 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 FX / Forex or CFDs 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 may be required to deposit additional funds. You therefore should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with FX / Forex and CFD trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any questions.
