Risk warning
Updated
CFDs and leveraged forex are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Brokers regulated in the EU and UK must publish the share of their retail accounts that lose money. Pepperstone, for example, states 80% (source, checked 11 Oct 2026).
- Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains. With leverage of 1:500, a 0.2% move against you wipes out your margin.
- Offshore entities often allow much higher leverage than regulated ones and may not offer negative balance protection or a compensation scheme.
- Advertised spreads are minimums. Spreads widen at news releases, rollovers and in thin markets.
- Copy trading copies losses too. A strategy’s past results don’t predict its future results.
- Cashback doesn’t reduce your risk. Don’t trade more to earn it.
