Internet-based trading carries inherent risks, such as potential hardware, software, and Internet connection failures. As we lack control over Internet service providers, their equipment, technological infrastructure, and the speed or reliability of connections, along with the configuration and reliability of traders' equipment, we cannot assume responsibility for communication failures, distortions, or delays that may occur during online trading.

Trading CFDs with Phoenix FX LTD means entering into over-the-counter (OTC) transactions.

In the event of the Company’s insolvency, clients may face the risk of having their positions liquidated or closed out without their consent.
CFDs are susceptible to various market risks, including changes in government policies, geopolitical events, and natural disasters, which can significantly impact the prices of underlying assets. Clients must evaluate their risk tolerance and investment goals before engaging in CFD trading.
Market volatility can dramatically affect CFD positions, with high volatility leading to large price swings. Clients must be prepared for the possibility that order execution times could extend during periods of abnormal market conditions.
Trading CFDs in a currency different from your account's base currency exposes you to currency risk, where fluctuations in exchange rates can affect the profit or loss realized on a position.
Certain underlying assets may experience periods of low liquidity, making it difficult to execute trades without substantial price changes. This can lead to wider bid-ask spreads and potentially increase trading costs.
Online trading involves technical risks related to internet connectivity, system reliability, and cyber threats. Clients should utilize robust technology solutions and maintain secure and reliable internet connections to mitigate these risks.
Clients are responsible for their trading orders. Submitting a new order before the previous one has been executed can lead to the latter being rejected. It’s crucial to understand that closing an order or position window does not cancel an existing order.
