Risk Disclosure

  1. Home
  2. Risk Disclosure
Last Updated: May 2025
⚠ Important Warning: Trading forex and CFDs involves significant risk of loss. These products may not be suitable for all investors. Please read this Risk Disclosure Statement carefully before opening an account or placing any trades.

1. Introduction

This Risk Disclosure Statement is provided by Fullerton Markets to inform you of the risks associated with trading foreign exchange (Forex) and Contracts for Difference (CFDs). This document does not explain all risks involved in trading these products. You should seek independent financial advice if you do not fully understand the risks involved.

2. High Risk Nature of Forex and CFD Trading

Forex and CFD trading is highly speculative and involves a significant level of risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up. You may lose all of your invested capital and in some cases, you may lose more than your initial deposit.

Key risk factors include:

  • Market risk: Currency and asset prices can move rapidly and unexpectedly due to economic, political, and other factors
  • Leverage risk: Trading on margin amplifies both profits and losses. A small market movement can result in a large gain or loss relative to your deposited capital
  • Liquidity risk: Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to execute orders at the desired price
  • Gap risk: Markets can open at a significantly different price from the previous close, resulting in losses beyond stop-loss orders
  • Counterparty risk: The risk that Fullerton Markets may be unable to meet its financial obligations

3. Leverage Risk

Fullerton Markets offers leveraged products. Leverage means you can control a large market position with a relatively small deposit. For example, a leverage of 1:100 means you can control $100,000 worth of currency with only $1,000 of capital.

Example: If you open a $10,000 position with $100 margin (1:100 leverage) and the market moves 1% against you, you lose $100 — your entire margin. If the market moves 2% against you without an automatic stop-out, you may owe more than your deposit.

You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Do not use funds required for essential living expenses, medical costs, or retirement savings for trading purposes.

4. Market Volatility

Currency markets can be extremely volatile. Events such as central bank announcements, geopolitical developments, economic data releases, and natural disasters can cause sudden and dramatic price movements. Trading during high-volatility periods carries substantially higher risk.

Volatile markets may also result in:

  • Requotes and slippage on order execution
  • Wider spreads than under normal market conditions
  • Stop-loss orders being executed at prices significantly worse than the specified price

5. Technical and Operational Risks

  • Platform outages: Trading platforms may experience technical interruptions that prevent you from opening or closing positions
  • Internet connectivity: A loss of internet connection may prevent you from managing your positions
  • Cyber threats: Your account may be at risk from unauthorized access if proper security measures are not maintained
  • Software errors: Errors in trading software may result in incorrect order execution

It is your responsibility to ensure you have reliable internet access and to use secure devices when trading.

6. Currency Risk

If your account is denominated in a currency different from the base currency of the instruments you trade, you face additional currency conversion risk. Exchange rate fluctuations may increase or decrease your profits or losses when converted to your account currency.

7. Negative Balance Protection

Fullerton Markets provides negative balance protection for retail clients, meaning your losses on a per-account basis will not exceed your deposited funds in normal market conditions. However, under exceptional market conditions (such as extreme gaps), there may be a brief period before our systems can apply this protection.

8. Past Performance

Past performance of any trading instrument, strategy, or trader is not indicative of future results. Any historical returns, profit examples, or performance data shown on our platform or marketing materials are illustrative only and do not guarantee similar outcomes in the future.

9. Not Suitable for Everyone

Forex and CFD trading may not be suitable for you depending on:

  • Your financial situation and ability to sustain losses
  • Your investment objectives and time horizon
  • Your level of experience and knowledge of financial markets
  • Your risk tolerance

We strongly recommend that you assess your financial situation and risk tolerance carefully before trading. You should consider seeking advice from an independent financial advisor.

10. No Investment Advice

Information provided by Fullerton Markets, including market analysis, price feeds, news, and educational content, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell, or a solicitation to trade. Any trading decisions are made solely by you and at your own risk.

11. Regulatory Disclaimer

Fullerton Markets operates as a forex and CFD broker. We encourage you to understand the regulatory framework applicable in your jurisdiction before trading. Regulatory protections vary by country. It is your responsibility to ensure that using our services complies with local laws and regulations.
