This document is a template for illustrative purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Trixo Market should have it reviewed and finalised by qualified legal counsel before publication.
1. General risk warning
Trading financial instruments involves a significant level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of your investments can go down as well as up, and you may lose some or all of your invested capital. You should not trade with money that you cannot afford to lose. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite.
2. Leverage & margin
Many of the products available through Trixo Market are traded on margin and with leverage. Leverage allows you to gain exposure to a position with only a fraction of its full value. While this can magnify potential profits, it equally magnifies potential losses, which can exceed your initial deposit.
If the market moves against your position, you may be required to provide additional funds at short notice to maintain your position (a margin call). If you fail to do so, your positions may be closed automatically and at a loss. You are responsible for monitoring your margin levels at all times.
3. Market volatility
Financial markets can be highly volatile. Prices may move rapidly and unpredictably in response to economic data, geopolitical events, changes in liquidity and other factors. During periods of extreme volatility, the difference between the price at which you place an order and the price at which it is executed (slippage) may widen, and certain markets may become temporarily illiquid.
4. CFDs are complex
Contracts for difference (CFDs) are complex leveraged products. A high proportion of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You do not own the underlying asset; instead, you take a position on its price movement. You should fully understand how CFDs work, the costs involved, and the risks of leverage before trading them.
5. No guarantee of profit
There is no guarantee that any trade, strategy or account will be profitable. Trixo Market does not promise or imply any specific level of return. Any examples, projections or scenarios shown on our platform or in our materials are for illustration only and should not be relied upon as indicative of future results.
6. Past performance
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Historical returns, simulated performance and back-tested data do not guarantee that similar outcomes will be achieved in the future. Market conditions change, and a strategy that performed well in the past may perform poorly going forward.
7. Copy-trading risks
Our social and copy-trading features allow you to replicate the trades of other users. These features carry additional risks. The past performance of a strategy provider is not a guarantee of future performance, and copying another trader does not reduce the inherent risk of the underlying instruments. A strategy provider may take on a level of risk that is not suitable for you, and you remain fully responsible for the positions opened in your account, including any losses. You should monitor copied activity and set appropriate limits.
8. Technology & execution risk
Online trading depends on technology and connectivity. Disruptions to internet connections, hardware or software failures, latency, or interruptions to our systems or those of our providers may prevent you from placing, modifying or closing orders, or may affect the timing and price of execution. You should have contingency arrangements in place, such as an alternative means of contacting us, in case of a technical failure.
9. Suitability
You are responsible for assessing whether a particular product or trading strategy is suitable for you in light of your knowledge, experience, financial situation and objectives. Trixo Market does not provide personal investment advice. If you are in any doubt about the suitability of a product, you should seek independent professional advice before trading.
10. Acknowledgement
By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you accept the risks of trading leveraged products, and that you are trading at your own risk. If you have any questions, please reach out via our contact page before you begin trading.
