General risk warning
Trading leveraged products such as Forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You could lose more than your initial deposit. Make sure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent advice if necessary. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Leverage
Leverage lets you open positions larger than your deposit. It magnifies both gains and losses: a small market movement can have a proportionally larger effect on your account, and you may lose all of the funds in your trading account.
Contracts for Difference
CFDs are derivative products. You do not own or have any rights in the underlying asset. The value of a CFD depends on the price of the underlying market, which can move rapidly and unpredictably.
Market risks
- Volatility: prices can change sharply, including outside normal trading hours.
- Gaps and slippage: in fast markets your order may be filled at a different price from the one requested, including stop loss orders.
- Liquidity: some instruments may become difficult to trade at times of market stress.
- Overnight costs: positions held overnight may be subject to swap charges or credits.
Cryptocurrency CFDs
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, operate around the clock and can be affected by regulatory, technological and market-sentiment changes. Trading crypto CFDs carries a particularly high level of risk.
Technology risks
Trading through an electronic platform involves risks such as hardware, software or internet connection failures. Wachsen Markets is not responsible for losses arising from failures outside its reasonable control.
