Risk Disclosure

Trading carries a substantial risk of loss. Read this before applying anything you learn.

Last updated 11 August 2026

Risk of loss

Trading foreign exchange and other leveraged instruments carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for everyone. You can lose some or all of your capital, and with certain products you may lose more than your initial deposit.

Leverage

Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A small adverse move can result in a loss substantially greater than expected relative to the capital committed.

No guaranteed outcomes

  • Past performance of any method, example or instructor is not indicative of future results.
  • Education improves understanding; it does not guarantee profitability.
  • The majority of retail traders lose money over time.

Practise before you risk capital

The Trading Lab exists so you can develop competence without financial exposure. We strongly encourage extended simulated practice and a written risk plan before committing real capital.
