Disclaimers & Disclosures

There is significant risk of loss in trading foreign exchange spot currencies. In considering whether to open an account, you should be aware of the following:

* You may sustain a loss of the initial funds and any additional funds that you deposit to establish or maintain a position in the spot currency market.

* If  the 4xTrader system electronically facilitates and places contingent orders, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, they will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amount, since market conditions may make it difficult to execute such orders at the exact stop price.

* The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in spot trading because of the small margin requirements can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as large gains.

* A FOREX account with an independent regulated firm is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

This brief statement of risk cannot cover all risks involved in the purchase or sale of spot foreign currencies. Because of the unpredictable nature of the prices of currencies, the purchase or sale of currencies involves a high degree of risk that is not suitable for all members of the public. You should only enter into a Managed Account Agreement for the purchase and sale of currencies if you are fully aware of the potential for loss and understand the nature and extent of your rights and obligations. As in any area of investing, the chances for success in currencies are influenced not only by the risks involved in such trading, but also by how well the risks are understood. Individuals considering opening a managed currency account for buying or selling currencies are urged to obtain additional information and to ask specific questions (and obtain specific answers) concerning the risks as well as the opportunities in currency trading and to take professional advice.
