Risk Disclosure
Last updated: 17 August 2026
Trading and investing in Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities and other leveraged financial instruments involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Please read this Risk Disclosure carefully before using the FP Markets platform (the "Service"). If, after reading it, you do not fully understand the risks involved, do not invest.
1. Introduction
This document is not intended to disclose every risk associated with trading leveraged products. It is provided to help you make an informed decision about whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial circumstances. You should independently assess whether trading is suitable for you, and if in doubt, seek professional advice.
2. High Risk of Loss
You can lose more than your initial deposit. Trading on the Service should only be undertaken with funds you can afford to lose in full. Never trade with funds required for essential living expenses, borrowed money you cannot afford to repay, or funds set aside for other purposes.
3. Leverage Risk
FP Markets allows you to trade using leverage of up to ×100. Leverage magnifies both potential profits and potential losses relative to the amount you deposit. A relatively small market movement can have a proportionately much larger impact on the funds in your account, and a leveraged position can be closed out at a loss which exceeds your original deposit.
4. Market Risk & Volatility
Crypto, Forex, Stocks and Commodities markets can be highly volatile. Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably in response to economic data, news events, market sentiment or technical factors, and past price movement is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
5. Liquidity Risk
Under certain market conditions it may be difficult or impossible to open, close, or modify a position at the price you want, or at all. Gaps, slippage and reduced liquidity — particularly around news events or outside normal trading hours — can affect execution price and speed.
6. No Guarantee of Profit
Trading leveraged products is speculative and carries a significant risk of loss. Many retail investors lose money when trading leveraged products. Features such as auto-close, take-profit and stop-loss are risk-management tools, not guarantees against loss, and are subject to prevailing market conditions and execution.
7. Suitability
Before trading, you should carefully consider your financial situation, investment objectives, level of experience and risk tolerance. FP Markets does not provide investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing on the Service should be construed as such. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions.
8. Technology & Execution Risk
Trading online depends on the availability and performance of hardware, software, and network connectivity, all of which can fail or be disrupted. FP Markets is not liable for losses arising from system outages, delays, or interruptions beyond its reasonable control.
9. No Investment Advice
All content, tools, and materials made available through the Service are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or a personal recommendation. We strongly recommend seeking independent advice from a qualified professional before making any investment decision.
10. Acknowledgment
By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure, that you are aware of the risks associated with trading leveraged products, and that you accept full responsibility for any losses incurred.
