Nature of the products
Forex contracts for difference are leveraged derivative contracts settled in cash. You do not take ownership of either underlying currency.
Your return is the difference between the opening and closing price of the contract, adjusted for spread, commission, financing and any applicable corporate action.
Leverage magnifies both outcomes
Leverage means a small movement in the underlying market produces a proportionally larger movement in your position value. A position opened with a fraction of its notional value can lose substantially more than the margin committed to it in adverse conditions.
- Losses can accumulate faster than you can react to them.
- Margin requirements can rise, requiring additional funds at short notice.
- Positions may be closed automatically when your margin level falls below the close-out threshold.
Market volatility and gapping
Markets can move sharply on news, economic releases or liquidity shortages. Prices may gap from one level to another without trading at the levels in between.
A stop loss reduces but does not eliminate this risk. Unless a guaranteed stop is explicitly offered and accepted, an order may be filled at a materially worse price than the level you set.
Costs reduce returns
Spread, commission, overnight financing, currency conversion and any disclosed account charges reduce profits and increase losses. Positions held for extended periods can accrue financing costs that materially affect the outcome.
Counterparty and platform risk
Trading on any electronic platform carries the risk of system failure, connectivity loss and delayed order transmission. Disruption affecting external financial services may also affect access to funds or positions.
Regulatory status
Avyrex Markets does not claim to hold authorisation from any financial supervisory authority. You should not assume the existence of investor compensation arrangements, client money segregation requirements or an external ombudsman scheme.
Live trading is not currently enabled. Until the required authorisation and live services are in place, all trading activity on the platform is simulated with virtual funds.
Suitability
These products are not suitable for everyone. Consider your investment objectives, level of experience, financial situation and risk appetite. Seek independent advice if you are in any doubt, and only trade after you fully understand how these instruments work.
