General Risk Warning Regarding Complex Financial Instruments (Derivative Financial Instruments such as CFDs)

i) comprehend and are willing to bear economic, legal, and other risks involved;
ii) experienced and acquainted with trading in derivatives and underlying asset types; and

iii) financially able to bear losses significantly above margin or deposits because investors may lose the totality of a contract, not just the margin or the deposit.

Neither CFDs nor FX Contracts are appropriate investments for retirement funds. CFD and FX transactions are among the riskiest investments and can result in considerable losses. Customer represents, warrants and agrees that Customer understands these risks, is willing and able, financially and otherwise to assume the risks of trading CFDs and FX Contracts and that the loss of Customer’s entire account balance will not change Customer’s lifestyle.

You must not commit to this form of investing unless you comprehend the nature of the transaction you are about to enter and the true scope of your exposure to the risk of loss.

Your profit and loss will vary to the extent of fluctuations underlying market pricing on which the trade is based, and losses could exceed your initial deposit. If you have any doubt you should seek independent advice.

The purpose of transactions is to ensure a profit or evade a loss by reference to the underlying market pricing. In the context these activities, the underlying tool may be;

a security, a basket of securities, a securities index, exchange rate of two currencies, a treasury product, a bullion, a commodity, or such other investment as agreed in writing.

Risks related to long CFD positions, i.e. for purchasers of CFDs

Being long in CFD means you are buying the CFDs on the market by assuming that the market price of an asset will rise between the time of the purchase and sale. As the owner of a long position, you will typically make a profit if the price rises while your CFD long position is open. Otherwise, you will generally make a loss, if the market price falls while your CFD long position is open. Your potential loss may therefore be larger than the initial margin deposited. Additionally, you might suffer a loss due to the closure of your position if you do not have enough liquidity for the margin on your account to maintain it open.

Risks related to short CFD positions, i.e. for sellers of CFDs

Assuming a short position in Contracts for Difference (CFD) entails the sale of CFDs with the expectation that the market price will decrease between the time of purchase and sale. As the holder of a short position, profit is generally realized if the price decreases while the CFD short position is open. Conversely, a loss is generally sustained if the market price increases while the CFD short position is open. The potential loss may exceed the initial margin deposited. Additionally, a loss may also be incurred as a result of the closure of the position due to insufficient liquidity to maintain the margin requirements on the account.

Cash Settlement

The customer acknowledges that the settlement of Contracts for Difference (CFD) and foreign exchange (FX) transactions will be conducted solely in cash, with the final outcome of the investment being influenced by the difference between the purchase and sale prices.

Currency Risk

Investing in foreign exchange (FX) Contracts and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) with underlying assets denominated in a currency other than the investor’s base currency entails currency risk. This

is because the settlement of the CFD or FX Contract in a currency other than the base currency may impact the value of the return when it is converted back to the base currency.

Gapping

Gapping, also known as slippage, refers to a situation where the market moves past a specified Stop Loss level. This can occur due to increased volatility in the underlying market, which may temporarily halt trading and then reopen at a price below the Stop Loss level. In such cases, the Stop Loss may not be effective, and the position will be closed at the prevailing quote from Safe Capital Ltd.

It is important to be aware of the potential for gapping when holding open positions in a volatile market environment.

Accordingly, where you have an open position in a volatile market environment you must understand the potential impact of Gapping.
