This disclosure summarizes the principal risks of trading in Forex and other leveraged financial markets. It is not exhaustive. Read it together with the Terms and Conditions, the Student Agreement, and the Trading Education and Liability Disclaimer.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. You may lose some or all of your invested capital, and you should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose, including funds needed for living expenses, debt service, or emergencies.
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A small adverse price movement can produce a loss far larger than your initial deposit. Margin calls and automatic liquidation can close positions at unfavorable prices without your consent.
Prices can move rapidly and without warning. Stops may be filled at prices materially worse than requested, and markets can gap over weekends or around news events, leaving no opportunity to exit at a planned level.
During fast or thin markets, orders may be delayed, partially filled, or rejected. Execution quality varies by venue, connection, and market conditions and is outside the control of any educational program.
Currency markets are affected by interest rates, central bank policy, geopolitics, and macroeconomic data. Where you trade through an off-exchange dealer, you also carry counterparty risk, including the risk that the dealer fails or disputes execution.
Connectivity failures, outages, software errors, and latency can prevent you from entering or exiting positions. You are responsible for testing and understanding the platforms you use and for maintaining contingency plans.
Markets can be affected by events beyond anyone's control, and rules governing leveraged products differ by jurisdiction and may change. You are responsible for complying with the laws and platform rules that apply to you.
Past performance, backtests, screenshots, and instructor or member examples are not indicative of future results. Results shown are not typical and cannot be assumed to be repeatable.
Fear, greed, overconfidence, and revenge trading are common causes of significant loss. No educational program can guarantee that you will manage these factors successfully.
TIUA School of Business does not guarantee educational outcomes, trading proficiency, investment performance, financial earnings, or profitability. All trading-related information is educational only and does not constitute personalized financial or investment advice.
Trading may not be suitable for your financial situation, objectives, or experience. Consider consulting a licensed financial, tax, or legal professional about your specific circumstances before trading.
By participating in the program, you acknowledge that you have read this Trading Risk Disclosure, understand these risks, and accept them as your own.
