Important information about the risks associated with CFD trading.
Last updated: July 21, 2026
Trading in financial instruments, including Contracts for Difference (CFDs), Foreign Exchange (Forex), Commodities, Indices, Shares, and other derivative products involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leveraged trading can result in losses exceeding your initial investment.
You should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite before engaging in CFD trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Leverage amplifies both profits and losses. Trading with leverage means you can open positions much larger than your account balance. While this can increase potential returns, it equally amplifies potential losses. A small adverse market movement can result in a loss greater than your initial investment.
Financial markets are subject to rapid and unpredictable price movements influenced by economic data, geopolitical events, central bank decisions, and market sentiment. These movements can result in significant losses in a short period.
Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to execute orders at desired prices. This can occur during periods of high volatility, thin markets, news releases, or system disruptions. Slippage may result in worse execution prices than expected.
Electronic trading platforms are subject to technical failures, internet connectivity issues, and other disruptions. Altara Markets endeavors to maintain platform availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access at all times. You should have contingency plans for trading during platform outages.
