1. Market and trading risks
According to scientists’ researches, Forex is among the top five most stressful jobs in the world and for those who are not ready for that, can be drastically damaging. Those who are working in the financial markets, especially Forex, will encounter a lot of damage in long terms, and few who trade scientifically, programmatically, and unemotionally gain profit; therefore, there are guarantees of neither gaining profit nor avoiding losses when Client trades in the Forex market. The Client has received no such guarantees from Fxglory or from any of its representatives. The Client is, moreover, aware of the risks inherent in trading and is financially able to bear such risks and withstand any losses incurred.
In the Forex market commodities are leveraged products and involve a high level of risk. It is possible to lose all the capital invested. Therefore, these products may not be suitable for everyone but only for those traders who:
- understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal, and other risks involved;
- are experienced and knowledgeable about trading in derivatives and in underlying asset types;
- are financially able to assume losses significantly in excess of margins or deposits because traders may lose the total value of the contract, not just the margin or the deposit.
2. Trading platform risks
Order execution
One-click trading and immediate execution
Risk-reducing orders or strategies
The placement of certain orders (e.g. “stop-loss” orders, where permitted under local laws, or “limit” orders), which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts, may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as “spread” and “straddle” positions, may be as risky as taking simple “long” or “short” positions.

5. Effects of leverage and gearing
Forex is very risky, so before deciding to invest in the Forex market, a trader should carefully consider his/her investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite, also other circumstances. This possibility exists that a trader could sustain a loss of some or all of his/ her investment; therefore, a trader should not invest the money that he/she cannot afford to lose. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the Forex contract, that’s why transactions are supported by “leverage”.
The high degree of “gearing” or “leverage” is a particular feature of the Forex market. The effect of leverage makes investing in the Forex riskier than investing in the underlying asset. This can be both advantageous and disadvantageous. A small price movement in your favor can provide a high return to the initial deposit; however, a small price movement against you may result in significant losses that could exceed the money placed on the deposit. Such losses can occur quickly. The greater the leverage is, the greater the risk will be. The size of leverage; therefore, partly determines the result of the investment. The high degree of leverage available can work against you as well as for you. You may be liable for losses that exceed the amount of margin that you post. To manage exposure, you can employ risk-reducing strategies, such as “stop-loss” or “limit” orders.6. Force majeure
