Risk information

Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference (CFDs), and other leveraged products involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You could lose money rapidly, depending on the product, leverage, and applicable terms.

Understand the product

Before considering a trade, make sure you understand how the product works, how prices are quoted, what fees and spreads may apply, and how margin or leverage can affect losses.

Do your own checks

Verify any provider’s legal entity, regulatory status, product disclosures, costs, leverage limits, and eligibility requirements for your country through sources you trust. Availability and protections can differ by jurisdiction.
