Risk Disclosure and Warning Notice for xpo.markets

Introduction

Trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and other financial instruments offered by xpo.markets involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade with us, it is essential to understand the associated risks and ensure that you are adequately informed. This notice provides an overview of the primary risks involved but cannot encompass all possible scenarios. We recommend consulting with independent financial advisors if you have any doubts.

Leverage Risk

CFDs are leveraged products, meaning you can gain exposure to a larger position than your initial investment. While leverage can amplify profits, it equally magnifies losses. Even minor market movements can result in substantial losses, potentially exceeding your initial deposit. Ensure you fully understand the concept of leverage and use it cautiously.

Market Volatility

Financial markets can be highly volatile. Prices of underlying assets can fluctuate rapidly due to various factors, including economic news, political events, and market sentiment. Such volatility can lead to significant gains or losses. It’s crucial to monitor market conditions regularly and be prepared for unexpected movements.

Liquidity Risk

Certain market conditions may affect the ability to execute orders at desired prices. Reduced liquidity can result in wider spreads and increased slippage, making it challenging to enter or exit positions at anticipated levels. Be aware that some instruments may become illiquid, especially during periods of market stress.

Counterparty Risk

When trading CFDs, you are entering into contracts with xpo.markets as the counterparty. If xpo.markets were to become insolvent or unable to meet its obligations, you might face financial losses. We implement measures to mitigate this risk, but it cannot be entirely eliminated.

Technical Risks

Online trading involves technology that may fail. Disruptions such as system errors, connectivity issues, or cyber-attacks can lead to delays or failures in order execution. Ensure you have alternative means of communication and are familiar with our contingency procedures.

Margin Requirements

Maintaining sufficient margin in your account is essential to keep positions open. Failure to meet margin requirements can result in the automatic closure of positions, potentially leading to losses. Regularly monitor your account balance and be prepared to deposit additional funds if necessary.

Tax Implications

Trading activities may have tax consequences depending on your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with tax obligations arising from your trading activities. We do not provide tax advice, and you should consult with a tax professional if needed.

No Guarantees

xpo.markets does not guarantee profits or the avoidance of losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You should only trade with funds you can afford to lose and always consider your financial situation and risk tolerance before engaging in trading activities.

Conclusion

This Risk Disclosure and Warning Notice aims to inform you about the potential risks associated with trading financial instruments through xpo.markets. It is not exhaustive, and you should undertake your own research and seek professional advice if necessary. By proceeding with our services, you acknowledge that you understand these risks and accept the potential consequences of your trading decisions.
