Risk Disclosure Statement

Last updated: January 2025

1. CFD Trading Risk

Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are complex financial instruments that carry a high degree of risk due to leverage. Leverage amplifies both potential gains and potential losses. A small adverse price movement can result in a loss significantly greater than your initial margin deposit.

When you trade a CFD, you do not own the underlying asset. You are speculating on the price movement of that asset. CFDs are not appropriate for all investors. Before trading, you should carefully consider whether CFD trading is appropriate for you in light of your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

2. Leverage Risk

Etrads offers leverage of up to 100× on certain instruments. This means that with a deposit of $100, you can open a position worth $10,000. While this amplifies potential gains, it equally amplifies potential losses. If the market moves against your position, you could lose your entire deposited amount. You should never trade with leverage unless you fully understand how it works.

3. Market Risk

Financial markets are subject to rapid and unpredictable price movements driven by economic data, political events, natural disasters, and market sentiment. Past performance of any asset, plan, or strategy is not indicative of future results. Prices shown on the Platform are indicative only.

4. Cryptocurrency Risk

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets. Their value can fluctuate dramatically within short periods. Regulatory changes, technological failures, and market manipulation can cause significant price declines. Deposits made in cryptocurrency are subject to price fluctuation between the time of sending and the time of credit.

5. Fixed-Return Investment Risk

While fixed-return investment plans offer stated ROI rates, these plans lock your capital for a specified term. You will not have access to your invested funds until maturity. The Platform does not guarantee profits; returns are dependent on the continued operation of Etrads and market conditions.

6. Liquidity Risk

Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to close a position at the desired price. Gaps in pricing (for example, at market open) can result in execution at a price significantly different from the requested price.

7. Operational and Technical Risk

The Platform may experience technical failures, system outages, connectivity issues, or cyberattacks that could affect your ability to place or close trades. Etrads endeavors to maintain system uptime but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

8. Regulatory Risk

The regulatory landscape for CFD trading and cryptocurrency is evolving. Changes in applicable laws or regulations could affect your ability to use certain features of the Platform or the value of your investments.
