Risk Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2024

⚠️ IMPORTANT RISK WARNING

Trading in financial instruments, including Forex, CFDs, and other derivatives, involves significant risk of loss. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

1. General Risk Warning

This Risk Disclosure statement is provided by PTP ONLINE SRL to inform you of the substantial risks involved in trading financial instruments. Trading in financial markets is highly speculative and carries a high level of risk.

PTP ONLINE SRL is an affiliate partner of IronFx and does not provide trading services directly. All trading services are provided by IronFx, and you should review IronFx's own risk disclosures and terms before trading.

2. Risk of Loss

2.1 Capital Loss

You may lose some or all of your invested capital when trading financial instruments. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may not recover the amount you originally invested.

2.2 Total Loss

In some cases, you may lose more than your initial investment, particularly when trading with leverage or margin. You could be required to deposit additional funds to cover losses.

3. Leverage and Margin Trading

Leverage allows you to control a large position with a relatively small amount of capital. While leverage can amplify profits, it also amplifies losses:

Small market movements can result in significant losses
You may be required to deposit additional funds (margin call) if your account equity falls below required levels
Your positions may be automatically closed (liquidated) if you cannot meet margin requirements
Leverage can work against you just as quickly as it works for you

4. Market Risks

4.1 Volatility

Financial markets are highly volatile and can experience rapid and significant price movements. These movements can occur due to various factors including economic news, political events, market sentiment, and other unpredictable events.

4.2 Liquidity Risk

Some financial instruments may have limited liquidity, which can make it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices. In extreme market conditions, you may not be able to close positions at all.

4.3 Gap Risk

Prices can "gap" (jump) between trading sessions, which can result in positions being opened or closed at prices significantly different from your intended price.

5. Technical Risks

5.1 System Failures

Trading platforms and systems may experience technical failures, including:

Internet connectivity issues
Platform downtime or maintenance
Data feed interruptions
Order execution delays

These technical issues may prevent you from managing your positions or result in losses.

5.2 Slippage

Your orders may be executed at prices different from the prices you see on your trading platform, particularly during volatile market conditions or low liquidity periods.

6. Regulatory and Legal Risks

Trading regulations vary by jurisdiction. Changes in regulations or legal interpretations may affect:

The availability of trading instruments
Leverage limits
Tax treatment of trading profits and losses
Your ability to access trading services

7. Counterparty Risk

When trading CFDs and other derivatives, you are entering into a contract with the broker (IronFx). There is a risk that the broker may be unable to meet its obligations to you, particularly in extreme market conditions.

8. Currency Risk

If you trade instruments denominated in currencies other than your base currency, exchange rate fluctuations can affect the value of your positions and profits/losses.

9. Overnight and Weekend Risk

Holding positions overnight or over weekends exposes you to:

Gap risk when markets reopen
Overnight financing costs (swap fees)
Unpredictable market events occurring outside trading hours

10. Psychological Risks

Trading can be emotionally challenging and may lead to:

Impulsive decision-making
Overtrading
Failure to follow trading plans
Emotional stress and anxiety

These psychological factors can significantly impact your trading performance and lead to losses.

11. Past Performance

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical data, backtesting results, and performance statistics do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions change, and strategies that worked in the past may not work in the future.
