In addition, the investment may be lost if the Company is unable to pay out. However, you may benefit from a consumer protection scheme (see the section "what happens if we are unable to pay you"). It is possible that additional investment payments to your initial investment may be required in order to avoid your open positions being stopped out.

Market developments in the future cannot be accurately predicted. The scenarios shown in table 2 are only an indication of some of the possible outcome based on recent returns. Actual returns may be lower.
Performance may vary depending on how the market performs and how long you hold the CFD. The stress scenario illustrates an extreme unfavourable scenario based on historical data. Maximum loss would be the loss of the entire investment. Performance results are net of all product costs, yet they do not account for personal taxation costs.

Trading in CFD Products involves significant risk with frequent market movements and price changes. Clients are free to open/close a trade whenever they believe that it best fits, given that the markets are open. The Company does not prescribe a holding period for any position whether this is a buy or sell position. The client may choose to set a ‘Stop Loss’ or ‘Take Profit’ on his/her trade to minimise the risk of large unexpected movements.
Clients can withdraw their total balance whenever they choose to do so, if there are no open positions on their trading account. In case there are open positions, the client can withdraw any amount in excess of the margin required for that particular trade, i.e. their ‘free margin’. All withdrawal requests can be made from the ‘Members’ Area’ section on the Company’s website.
The complaint form can be found in the "Members’ Area" section on the Company’s website.
