FOREX AND DERIVATIVES RISK WARNING NOTICEThis notice cannot and will not disclose all the risks involved in Financial Instruments such as
foreign exchange and derivative products such as futures, options, and Contracts forDifferences. The Client should be satisfied that the product is suitable with regards to theirpersonal circumstances and financial position. The Client should not deal in such products
unless he/she understands their nature and the extent of his/her exposure to risk. The Clientshould not engage in any dealings in derivative products unless he/she knows andunderstands the risks involved in them and that he/she might suffer complete loss of all
monies invested. It should be noted that no physical delivery of the Financial Instruments will
occur. Any trading decision should be made on an informed basis taking into consideration
the following:
Instruments with high volatility●●The Client considers that there is a high risk of losses as well as profits, as some
instruments trade within wide intraday ranges with volatile price movements. The
prices of instruments may fluctuate rapidly and over wide ranges and may reflect
unforeseeable events or changes in conditions which are beyond the control of theCompany or the Client. Market conditions may render it impossible for a Client’s order
to be executed at the declared price, leading to losses.
The prices of instruments are influenced by, amongst other things, the implementationof political, governmental, agricultural, commercial, financial and trade programs andpolicies and national and international socioeconomic events and the prevailing
psychological characteristics of the relevant market place. Therefore a Stop Loss
instruction/order cannot guarantee the limit of the Client’s loss.

●The Client accepts that significant loss may lead to partial or total loss of the value of
his/her investment. This is due to the margining system that applies to such trades
where an adverse market movement can quickly lead to the loss of the Client’s entire
deposit, but which could also lead to a substantial additional loss.

Leverage●●Unlike traditional trading, Margin trading enables the Client to trade the markets bypaying only a small fraction of the total trade value. Leverage means that a relatively
small market movement may lead to a proportionately much larger movement in thevalue of the Client’s position;
The Company will monitor the leverage applied to Client’s positions and reserves theright to decrease the leverage depending on the Client’s trade volume.

Contracts for Differences (CFDs)●●A CFD is an agreement to either buy or sell a contract that reflects the performance ofan underlying instrument including inter alia, foreign exchange, precious metals,
futures and shares. A CFD is a non-deliverable spot transaction where the profit orloss is determined by the difference between the price a CFD is bought at and theprice it is sold at and vice versa;
Investing in CFDs entails the same risks as investing in a future or an option as set outbelow. A contingent liability may also arise as explained below.

Futures●●Transactions in futures involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of theunderlying asset of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle the position
with cash. They carry a high degree of risk as they are traded under leveraged orgeared situations as explained above;
A contingent liability may also arise as explained below.

Options●●●

There are various types of options in existence each having different characteristics.
The following conditions apply:
Buying options. This involves less risk than selling options as the holder can allow theoption to lapse if the price of the underlying asset moves against the holder. The
maximum loss is limited to the premium and any commission or other transaction
charges. A buyer of a call option on a futures contract that exercises the option will
acquire the future and will be exposed to the risks;
Writing options. The writer of the option accepts a legal obligation to purchase or sell
the underlying asset if the option is exercised against him/her irrespective of thedifference between the market price and the exercise price. The risk is considerablyhigher than buying options, especially when the writer does not own the underlying
asset and can face unlimited risk.
Over-the-counter (‘OTC’) Transactions●●When trading CFDs, Forex and Precious metals, the Client is effectively entering into
an OTC transaction; where the parties directly negotiate between each other rather
than through a regulated exchange market;
OTC transactions may involve greater risk compared to transactions occurring on
regulated exchange markets. Due to the absence of a central counterparty, the parties
bear certain credit risk, risk of default or may face situations where it is impossible toliquidate positions or to assess the value of a position.

Trading Suspension●When trading conditions are such that it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate aposition, such as when the relevant exchange trading is suspended or restricted,placing a stop loss will not necessarily limit one’s losses to the intended amounts, as
the execution of the stop loss order at the stipulated price may be impossible.
Furthermore the execution of a stop loss order may be worse than its stipulated priceand the realised losses may be larger than expected.

Margin account and requirements
●

●

●
●

Margined transactions require the Client to make a series of payments against thepurchase price, instead of paying the whole purchase price immediately. The level ofthe margin requirement will depend on the underlying asset of the instrument and canbe fixed or calculated from the current price of the underlying instrument. Specificinstrument margin requirements can be found on the Company Website;
The Client needs to ensure that he/she has sufficient margin on his/her trading
account at all times in order to maintain an open position. It is the Client’s obligation tomonitor any open positions in order to avoid positions being closed by the Company
due to unavailability of funds. The Company is not responsible for notifying the Clientin any such instances;
The Company is not obliged to make margin calls for the Client and is not liable to theClient for any failure by the Company to contact or attempt to contact the Client;
The Company is entitled to change margin requirements by giving to the Client five(5) calendar days written notice. However, in the case of a Force Majeure Event, theCompany is entitled to change margin requirements without prior written notice.

Contingent Liability Investment transactions●Due to the nature of margined transactions, as explained above, the Client may
sustain a total loss of the funds that were deposited to open and maintain a position.
Failure on the Client’s part to meet a margin call i.e. pay additional funds to maintain a●position, will result in the liquidation of the position, which may result in a loss that theClient bears the responsibility to cover;Transactions not margined, may still carry an obligation to make further payments
over and above any amount paid when entering the contract.

Taxation, Commission and other Charges●●●

The Client must be aware of commissions and other charges before embarking totrade. Charges may be expressed in monetary or percentage terms. It is therefore theresponsibility of the Client to understand the basis upon which such charges aremade;Legislation and changes thereto, or a change in the Client’s personal circumstances
may result in dealing in Financial Instruments taxable and subject to other duties;
The Client should seek independent advice on his/her tax and/or other duty liability, as
he/she is responsible for any such liabilities.

General Notice
Prior to applying for an account the Client should consider carefully whether trading inderivative Financial Instruments is suitable for him in the light of his circumstances andfinancial resources. Trading in derivative financial instruments entails the use of leverage.
