Risk Disclaimer Just like any investment business Foreign exchange involves a high level of risk so it may not be suitable for everyone. Using high leverages can create big losses as well as profits. Before investing in foreign exchange one must carefully consider the investment targets, degree of know-how and risk tolerance. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose as there is a chance to lose all the investment. But remember – no one has become successful without taking any risks at all. So make sure you get to know all the risks associated with FX trading before investing your money.
Good Luck!
