Short answer

Trading foreign exchange and CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Most retail traders lose money. You could lose more than your initial deposit where negative-balance protection doesn't apply. Past performance, including back-tested or hypothetical results, is not indicative of future results. This website provides general information and opinions about educational products. It isn't personalised financial, investment or trading advice. Check that any broker you use is regulated in your jurisdiction (in Canada, a CIRO member; in the US, registered with the CFTC/NFA).

Leverage and losses

Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. You could lose more than your initial deposit where negative-balance protection does not apply.

Hypothetical and backtested results

Backtests are hypothetical and do not establish future live results. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Education is not advice

This website provides general information and opinions about educational products, not personalised financial, investment or trading advice.

Choosing a regulated broker

Check that your broker is regulated where you live: in Canada, a CIRO member; in the US, CFTC/NFA registered.

Only risk what you can afford to lose

Only trade money you can afford to lose. Never use borrowed money.
