In order to understand the different types of financial instruments, and to recognize and minimize the related risks, it is first necessary to learn their basic characteristics. It is also important to realize that there are inherent risks in all types of investment. Depending on the type of financial instrument, there may be more risks than those described in this section, with a resulting increase in the general level of risk assumed by the investor.
- It is understood that specific risks connected to traditional investment instruments (e.g. stocks, bonds, investment funds etc) and those connected to non –traditional instruments (e.g. options, futures, alternative instrument etc) are not dealt with in detail here.
- It is further understood that the Agreement does not cover the tax or legal consequences of executing transactions in financial instruments. Therefore, it is recommended for the Client to seek specialist professional advice of these issues before making an investment.
- Moreover, the Website is not intended to describe all risks connected to Financial Instruments in a detailed and comprehensive manner, hence, it seeks to provide sufficient basic information and to make Clients aware of the issues involved.

- It is further understood that the Company shall not be held liable and/or shall bear no responsibility, for any delays or other errors caused during the transmission of the Client’s order.

- The Client further acknowledges and agrees that, regardless of any information which may be offered by the Company, the value of investments may fluctuate downwards or upwards and it is even probable that the investment may become of no value. The Client acknowledges that such a risk is owed to the margining system applicable to such trades, which generally involves a comparatively modest deposit or margin in terms of the overall contract value, so that a relatively small movement in the underlying market can have a disproportionately dramatic effect on the Client’s trades and portfolio. If the underlying market movement is in the Client’s favour, the Client may achieve a good profit, but might lose all the Capital invested within the Company. If the underlying instrument movement is in the Client’s favour, the Client may achieve a good profit, but might lose all the Capital invested within the Company.
- Therefore, the Client accepts that he/she shall not enter into a transaction with the Company, unless he/she is willing to undertake the risks of losing all the money which he/she has invested.
- Moreover, it is further understood that investing with the Company entails the use of “gearing” or “leverage”. Therefore, the Client should be aware that the high degree of leverage that is obtainable in CFDs trading can work against him/her as well as for him/her. The use of leverage can lead to loss of all the invested capital. Therefore, the Client unreservedly acknowledge and accept that he/she runs the risk of incurring losses and damages as a result of the dealing in some Financial Instruments and accepts and declares that he/she is willing to undertake this risk.
- The leverage offered to clients, is as follows: 1:1, 1:30, 1:100, 1:300, 1:500.
- The Company deals in in derivative securities, where their price is derived from the price of the underlying instrument in which the security refers to. Derivative securities / Markets can be highly volatile. The prices of the security and the underlying instrument and Indices 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. It is therefore, understood and agreed by the Client, that under certain market conditions it can be impossible for a Clients order to be executed at declared price.
- The Company’s prices will be influenced by, amongst other things, changing supply and demand relationships, governmental and other commercial and trade programs and policies, and the prevailing psychological characteristics of the relevant market please. Therefore, it is understood, that Stop Loss order cannot guarantee the limit of loss.
- The Client further acknowledges and agrees that some of the Company’s underlying instruments may not become immediately liquid as a result of reduced demand for the underlying instrument and the Client may not be able to obtain the information on the value of these or the extent of the associated risks. Reliability on Previous Performance Information of the previous performance of the Company’s portfolio does not guarantee its current and/or future performance as well as a performance of the underlying instrument.
