01 / RISK & PREPARATION

Margin is not the whole exposure

Margin is the amount required to support a leveraged position. It does not describe the full position value or necessarily limit the potential loss.

02 / RISK & PREPARATION

Know the limitations of an order

A stop-loss order may execute at a different price during a gap or fast market. Familiarise yourself with execution rules and margin-closeout conditions.

03 / RISK & PREPARATION

Keep the decision proportionate

Consider your financial circumstances, experience and ability to absorb loss. Historical performance, chart patterns and bonuses do not guarantee a profitable outcome.

Keep the full picture in view.

CFDs are leveraged products and involve a risk of loss. This guide is general educational information and does not take account of your personal circumstances.
