Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 13 September 2026

1. What you are trading

A contract for difference (CFD) is an agreement to exchange the difference in the price of an instrument between opening and closing a position. You never own the underlying asset. Buying a CFD on gold does not make you the owner of any gold.

CFDs are leveraged derivatives. They are complex instruments, and a high proportion of retail investors lose money trading them.

2. Leverage

Leverage lets you open a position larger than the money in your account. It multiplies gains and losses equally.

At 1:100 leverage, a position of 100,000 units requires about 1,000 units of margin. A move of 1% against you is a loss roughly equal to your entire margin. A move of 1% in your favour roughly doubles it. The market does not know which direction you chose.

The maximum leverage available on your account is shown on the account itself and is set by the account group you belong to. It is a commercial condition, not a preference you can raise on request.

3. Margin call and stop-out

These levels are published before you open the account, and the platform shows your margin level continuously.

• Margin level is your equity divided by the margin used, as a percentage. Equity is your balance plus the profit or loss of everything currently open.
• Margin call is the level at which the platform warns you that your equity is running out relative to your open positions. It is a warning, not an action.
• Stop-out is the level at which the platform closes your positions automatically, starting with the largest loss, until the margin level recovers.

Stop-out happens without asking you and without waiting for you. It exists to stop your account going below zero — not to protect your profit.

4. Market risk

• Volatility. Prices can move sharply in seconds, particularly around economic releases, central bank decisions and political events.
• Gaps. Markets close and reopen. A price can reopen far from where it closed, and a stop loss placed inside the gap will execute at the reopening price, not at your level.
• Liquidity. In thin conditions, spreads widen and orders fill further from the quoted price.
• Currency risk. If you trade an instrument denominated in a currency other than your account currency, the exchange rate affects your result independently of the trade.

5. Execution and pricing

Orders are executed at the price available when they reach the platform, which may differ from the price displayed when you clicked — in either direction. A market order guarantees execution, not price. A limit order guarantees price, not execution.

Stop loss and take profit levels are not guarantees. They are instructions to close at the first available price once the level is reached.

Where the price comes from, and who is on the other side

RemidaFX is the counterparty to your trades. Orders are not passed to an external market: they are filled against our own book, at prices produced by our pricing engine. This is how the platform works today, and you are entitled to know it before you deposit.

That arrangement creates a conflict of interest you should understand: when you lose on a position, the money does not go to an anonymous market — it stays with us. We manage that conflict by publishing risk levels in advance, by applying margin call and stop-out mechanically rather than at anyone's discretion, and by recording every movement with a reason and a reference you can audit. It does not make the conflict disappear.

6. Costs

• Spread — the difference between the buy and sell price. It is a cost you pay on every position, at the moment you open it.
• Commission — where it applies, charged per lot and shown on your account group.
• Swap — the overnight financing cost or credit for holding a position past the daily rollover. It can be negative, and over weeks it can exceed the move you were trading for.
• Deposit and withdrawal fees — published in the platform before you confirm, and applied to the amount requested.

Costs are visible in the platform before you open a position, and every movement appears in your statement with a reason and a reference.

7. Copying an external account

If you mirror a MetaTrader account into RemidaFX, understand what that means:

• Positions are opened on your RemidaFX account, with your money, according to what happens on the external account. Losses are real losses on this account.
• Prices, spreads and execution here are ours, not your other broker's. Results will not match exactly.
• Copying can lag. A position may open or close here later than it did there, at a different price.
• Unlinking stops the copying. It does not close positions already opened — those stay open until you close them.
• The investor password is read-only: we can see the external account but cannot trade or withdraw on it. That protection runs one way; it does not limit what is opened here.

8. Technology

The platform runs in your browser and depends on your internet connection, your device and our servers. Any of them can fail. A connection lost at the wrong moment can leave a position open that you intended to close.

Have a plan for that case: know your positions, use stop losses, and do not rely on being able to reach the platform at a specific second.

9. Suitability

We do not provide investment advice. Nothing on this website, in the platform, or in any communication from us is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, or an opinion on whether a trade is right for you.

Before trading, consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford the risk. If you are unsure, seek independent advice from someone qualified to give it.

Past performance — yours, ours, or anyone's — does not indicate future results.
