The risk of loss in trading foreign currencies can be substantial and significant. First, consider your financial condition and ability to assume risks prior to considering whether investing in foreign currencies is suitable for you. Secondly, please consider the following lists of risks and decide carefully:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Foreign currency trading is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Such trading is suitable only for persons who can assume the risk of loss of their entire initial deposit and any other additional deposit they may make.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The amount of initial margin for a foreign currency position is small relative to the value of the foreign currency contract. This means that transactions are highly leveraged. As a result, a relatively small movement in the market price will have a significantly larger impact on your deposited funds. While this may produce significant profits if the market moves in favor of your investment, this factor can also produce significant losses if the market moves against your position. Consequently, you may sustain a total loss of your initial margin funds and any other additional funds that you may deposit to maintain a particular position.
|
|
|
|
|
Stop Loss Orders and Other Loss Limiting Orders |
|
|
A 'stop loss' order is intended to limit the loss to certain amounts through closing a position when the price reaches a designated level. However, a stop loss order may not be effective during a time when market conditions exist that make it difficult or impossible to execute the order at that price. In addition, extreme market volatility or international conditions may make it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position even without a stop loss. Such market or international conditions are not readily predictable. Consequently, trading within such conditions may result in a loss of all, or a substantial part, of your invested funds.

|
Factors Affecting Currency Values |
|
|
Many factors may influence currency values and trading in foreign currency markets. Included are economic and political events, government intervention and lack of government intervention, action speculators, exchange credit controls, and the fixing of currency exchange rates by governmental authorities.
|
|
|
|
|
Trading or Communication Facilities Failure |
|
|
Trading in spot foreign currencies is effected through electronic trading facilities and communication systems that may be subject to interruption due to factors beyond the control of FINWORLD INC. Such interruptions can include power failures, system hardware or software failures, and other trading or communication interruptions that may limit transactions. In addition, FINWORLD INC relies upon its communication facilities in order to receive market, quotation and pricing information on which trading decisions are based. Losses could occur as a result of an error in transmission of quoted prices or other pertinent information. FINWORLD INC is not responsible for any such errors in information received through its communication facilities, or for any actions that may be taken based upon such erroneous information.
