Risk Warning
This notice is provided by Galvan Research and Trading Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
CFDs and Spread Betting are leveraged trading products and carry a high degree of risk to your capital. Leverage magnifies movements in the underlying asset (equity, commodities, FX etc). This means that whilst profits are magnified so are losses. The investor may not receive back the amount of their original investment and may be liable for a greater sum than this. Changes in exchange rates may also cause your investment to go up or down in value.
Stop losses can be used to limit the downside on each position and we recommend that you use one on every trade to mitigate risk. You can instruct us to place an automated stop loss on each trade. Similarly you can either manually raise the stop-loss orders or use trailing stop-loss orders to lock in profit. Although our staff will always recommend the use of stop losses this may not suit your individual requirements and the decision is ultimately yours to place these orders.
One of the main objectives when CFD trading and Spread Betting is to achieve short term speculative gains in a particular asset, although they can be used for hedging and other purposes.
Examples of CFD and Spread Betting trades are available on our website. We recommend you familiarise yourself with CFD and Spread Betting trade examples and if you need any further information please speak to a member of the trading team or seek further independent advice if necessary.
If you successfully open a CFD or Spread Betting account, it will mean that we have deemed trading in CFDs or Spread Betting are in line with your investment objectives based on the information you have provided us. If your investment strategy or financial situation subsequently changes, we are relying on you updating us of any relevant information. It is important that you inform us immediately if you decide that CFD trading or Spread Betting are not suitable for you.
