This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other
significant aspects of trading Contracts for Difference ("CFD"). In light of the risks, you should
undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of CFDs and the contractual relationships
into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. Trading in CFD's may not be suitable
for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading CFD's is appropriate for you
in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. In
considering whether to trade CFD's, you should be aware of the following:
Leveraged CFD Trading
Transactions in CFD's and precious metals carry a high degree of risk.
Effect of "Leverage"
The amount of initial margin, if applicable, is small relative to the
value of the contract so that transactions are "leveraged". A relatively small market movement will have a
proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit; this may work
against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional
funds you deposit with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you
may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds on short notice in order to maintain your
position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your
position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
Risk-Reducing Orders or Strategies
The placing of certain orders (e.g., "stop-loss" orders, where permitted
under local law) that are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market
conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. At times, it may also be difficult or impossible
to liquidate a position without incurring substantial losses. Strategies using combinations of positions,
such as "spread" and "straddle" positions, may be as risky as taking simple "long" or "short" positions.
Suspension or Restriction of Trading and Pricing Relationships
Market conditions (e.g., liquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of
certain markets (e.g., the suspension of trading in any contract because of price limits, government
intervention or reasons beyond the counterparty's control) may increase the risk of loss by making it
difficult or impossible to effect transactions or liquidate/offset positions.
Deposited Cash and Property
You should familiarize yourself with the protections accorded money or
other property you deposit for the trading of CFD's, particularly in the event of your counterparty's
insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which you may recover your money or property may be governed by
specific legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property that had been specifically
identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the
event of a shortfall.
Commission and Other Charges
Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all
commission, fees, markups, markdowns and other charges for which you will be responsible. The charges will
affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.
Price Risks
The profit or loss in transactions in CFD's will be affected by
fluctuations in price.
Principal's Market
Financial instruments offered by Fortrade FX are traded in the
over-the-counter markets. Fortrade FX is a dealer/broker in CFD's and, as such, may be a counterparty to
your transactions. You will therefore transact at prices established by Fortrade FX. Even though TRADERS
HUB's quotations and prices are assisted by many computer-based component systems, its quotations and
prices may vary due to market liquidity and conditions may not be as favorable as those of other dealers.
Fortrade FX's trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order routing,
execution or matching of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary
disruption or failure. Your ability to recover certain losses is subject to limits on liability set forth
in the Fortrade FX Client Agreement and the Online Services and Electronic Trading Agreement and the
agreements of other dealers, banks or financial institutions which may at times act as your counterparty.
Off-Exchange Transactions
In CFD transactions, firms are not restricted in effecting off-exchange
transactions. Fortrade FX will generally act as your counterparty to the transaction. It may be difficult
or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to
assess the exposure to risk of a CFD position. For these reasons, these transactions may involve increased
risks. Before you undertake CFD transactions, you should familiarize yourself with applicable rules and
attendant risks and the policies, procedures and agreements of the counterparty and attendant risks.
Electronic Trading
Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading
in the open outcry market, but also from trading on other electronic trading systems. If you undertake
transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system
including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is
either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.
