Risk Warning
CFD trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. CFDs are highly leveraged over-the-counter derivatives. You can lose more than your initial deposit and your potential losses may be unlimited.
Risks
As with any products that involve the financial markets CFDs are inherently risky. CFD trading is leveraged so whilst it can lead to greater returns on smaller deposits, it is also possible to lose more than your deposit. While stop losses can be allocated to each trade, they may not be guaranteed and will not always be filled at the level you requested in volatile markets due to market gapping or slippage. Investors should also look at the price of commission as many CFD providers have a commission charge.
Remember
Anything you put your money into should meet your investment goals and suit your circumstances. Being a leveraged product, CFDs by nature involves risk.
CFDs are not suitable for everyone. My message to investors is this: if you don’t understand contracts for differences, then do not invest.
No one can guarantee the performance of any financial product. You can lose all of or more than the money you put in if something goes wrong.
You are taking a considerable risk if you put all your money into one type of investment (for example, trading CFDs). Spreading your money between different types of investments (‘diversification’) reduces the risk of losing everything.
