High Risk Investment
Investing in CFDs involves substantial risks. Investing in CFDs exposes participants to risks, including but not limited to changes in political conditions, economic factors, acts of nature, and other elements, all of which may significantly impact the price or availability of one or more underlying assets.
Speculative trading is a challenging prospect, even for those with market experience and an understanding of the risks involved. Only funds designated for high-risk investments—funds that, if lost, would not adversely affect the person's standard of living or financial well-being—should be utilized in trading.
XFortuit cannot guarantee the initial capital of the Clients' portfolio or its value at any time or the money invested in any financial instrument.
The Client should wholeheartedly acknowledge and accept that they run a substantial risk of incurring losses and damages due to the purchase and/or sale of any Financial Instrument and declare their willingness to undertake this risk.
Clients should refrain from engaging in any investment, whether direct or indirect, in Financial Instruments unless they are fully aware of and understand the risks associated with each one.
What Are CFDs
A Contract for Difference (CFD) is a leveraged derivative instrument. When trading a CFD you do not own, acquire or have any right to the underlying asset (such as a currency pair, commodity, index, share or cryptocurrency); you are speculating on changes in its price. CFDs are complex instruments and are not suitable for all investors.
Leverage and Margin Risk
Leverage allows you to open positions whose value is significantly larger than the funds you commit. While leverage can amplify profits, it amplifies losses to the same degree. As an illustration: with leverage of 1:100, a deposit of $100 controls a position of $10,000; a price movement of only 1% against your position is sufficient to lose the entire $100 committed. Adverse movements may require you to deposit additional funds at short notice to maintain open positions, and positions may be closed automatically (stop-out) if your margin level falls below the required threshold.
Asset-Specific Risks
Different underlying markets carry distinct risks. Foreign exchange markets can be affected by macroeconomic data releases, central bank decisions and liquidity conditions, and may open at significantly different prices after weekends or holidays (gap risk). Cryptocurrency CFDs are exceptionally volatile and may experience rapid, large price swings at any hour, including weekends. Commodities and indices can be affected by geopolitical events, supply disruptions and trading-session changes. Prices of any instrument may become volatile or illiquid with little warning.
Orders and Stop Losses Are Not Guaranteed
Orders such as stop loss and take profit are executed at the first available market price, which in fast or gapping markets may differ materially from the level you requested (slippage). A stop loss order therefore limits, but does not guarantee, the maximum loss on a position.
Costs and Charges
Trading costs — including spreads, commissions where applicable, currency conversion costs and overnight financing (swap) charges on positions held open across trading sessions — reduce the net result of your trading and can, over time, exceed trading gains. You should make sure you understand all applicable costs before trading.
No Investment Advice
Any information, analysis, market commentary or educational material published by XFortuit is provided for general information purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a personal recommendation, or an offer or solicitation to transact in any financial instrument. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. If necessary, seek advice from an independent and suitably licensed financial advisor.
Internet-Based Trading Risks
Certain risks are inherent in internet-based trading. These may include, but are not limited to, hardware, software, and Internet connection failures. Since XFortuit does not control internet providers, their equipment and technology, internet connection speed or reliability, configuration of your equipment, or the reliability of its connection, we cannot be held responsible for communication failures, distortions, or delays when trading via the Internet.
XFortuit endeavors to execute your trade at the requested price. Internet trading, regardless of its convenience or efficiency, does not necessarily reduce the risks associated with trading CFDs. All quotes and trades are subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the Client Agreement.
Suitability
Before opening an account you should consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite, and ensure you fully understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. You should never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
