The risk of loss in trading financial instruments can be substantial. Investors should be aware that any investment involves a high degree of risk, including the loss of the entire amount invested. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and the value of an investment may fall as well as rise. The high degrees of leverage that are often employed in trading financial instruments can quickly lead to large losses as well as large gains. Investors should therefore carefully consider whether such an investment is suitable in light of their financial condition.
