Risk Disclaimer

Last updated 2 October 2026

Trading foreign exchange and CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage can work against you as well as for you, and you can lose more than your initial deposit with some providers. Content on The FX Know is for educational purposes only and is not investment advice.

High risk of loss

Foreign exchange and contracts for difference (CFDs) are complex instruments traded on margin. A large proportion of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
