FX Leveling Manual-SmartTrader
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all
investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work
against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully
consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists
that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not
invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with
foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any
doubts.
