Trading currency or any other margined financial instrument is a highly risky form of investing. A margin account can be traded using significant leverage, which means that all funds may be lost if positions held in the account have a relatively small change in value. Given the possibility of losing your entire investment, speculation in the foreign currency market should only be conducted with funds you consider risk capital, which if lost, will not significantly affect your financial situation. If you have engaged in only conservative forms of investments in the past, you should consider whether currency trading is suitable for you before pursuing an investment of this nature. The possibility always remains that you could sustain a total loss of all funds when you trade spot currencies, currency options or any other currency derivative, should the market move against your positions. If you do decide to trade in spot currencies, currency options or other currency derivatives, you should acknowledge that the funds you have committed are purely risk capital and that loss of your investment will not jeopardize your style of living or detract from your future needs. Additionally, you should fully acknowledge the nature and risks associated with currency investments, that the potential risk of loss is very high, and that you are willing to accept full responsibility for your decision to trade in the currency markets.

The hypothetical or simulated performance results displayed on this website have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve the profits or losses similar to those shown in the hypothetical results. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance trading results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect the actual trading results.
