1. RISK WARNING

Prospective clients should study the following risk warnings very carefully. Please note that we do not explore or explain all the risks involved when dealing in Financial Instruments. We outline the general nature of the risks of dealing in Financial Instruments on a fair and non-misleading basis.


Unless a client knows and fully understands the risks involved in each Financial Instrument, they should not engage in any trading activity. You should not risk more than you are prepared to lose. AMLTD will not provide clients with any investment advice in relation to investments, possible transactions in investments, or Financial Instruments, neither will we make any investment recommendations. Clients should consider which Financial Instrument is suitable for them according to their financial status and goals before opening an account with AMLTD. If a client is unclear about the risks involved in trading in Financial Instruments, then they should consult an independent financial advisor. If the client still doesn’t understand these risks after consulting an independent financial advisor, then they should refrain from trading at all. Purchasing and selling Financial Instruments comes with a significant risk of losses and damages and each client must understand that the investment value can both increase and decrease, and clients are liable for all these losses and damages, which could result in more than the initial invested capital once they make the decision to trade.


2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


TECHNICAL RISK

1. The Customer shall be responsible for the risks of financial losses caused by the failure of information, communication, electronic, and other systems. The result of any system failure may be that his order is either not executed according to his instructions or it is not executed at all. The Company does not accept any liability in the case of such a failure.

2. While trading through the Client Terminal, the Customer shall be responsible for the risks of financial losses caused by:

• (a) customer’s or Company’s hardware or software failure, malfunction, or misuse;

• (b) poor Internet connection either on the side of the Customer or the Company or both, or interruptions or transmission blackouts or public electricity network failures or hacker attacks, overload of connection;

• (c) the wrong settings in the Client Terminal;

• (d) delayed Client Terminal updates;

• (e) the Customer disregarding the applicable rules described in the Client Terminal user guide and on the Company’s Website.

4. The Customer acknowledges that under Abnormal Market Conditions, the period during which the Instructions and Requests are executed may be extended.


TRADING PLATFORM

5. The Customer acknowledges that only one Request or Instruction is allowed to be in the queue at one time.

6. The Customer acknowledges that the only reliable source of Quotes Flow information is that of the real/live Server’s Quotes Base. Quotes Base in the Client Terminal is not a reliable source of Quotes Flow information because the connection between the Client Terminal and the Server may be disrupted at some point and some of the Quotes simply may not reach the Client Terminal.

7. The Customer acknowledges that when the Customer closes the order placing/modifying/deleting window or the position opening/closing window, the Instruction or Request, which has been sent to the Server, shall not be cancelled.

8. In case the Customer has not received the result of the execution of the previously sent Instruction but decides to repeat the Instruction, the Customer shall accept the risk of making two Transactions instead of one; however, the client may receive an “Order is locked” message as described in point 2.5 above.

9. The Customer acknowledges that if the Pending Order has already been executed but the Customer sends the Instruction to modify its level and the levels of If-Done Orders at the same time, the only Instruction, which will be executed, is the Instruction to modify Stop Loss and/or Take Profit levels on the position opened when the Pending Order triggered.


COMMUNICATION

13. The Customer is wholly responsible for the privacy of the information received from the Company and accepts the risk of any financial losses caused by the unauthorized access of a third party to the Customer’s Trading Account.

14.

FORCE MAJEURE EVENT

15. In case of a Force Majeure Event, the Customer shall accept the risk of financial losses.


3. RISK WARNING NOTICE FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS

1. This notice cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of foreign exchange and derivative products such as futures. You should not deal in these products unless you understand their nature and the extent of your exposure to risk. You should also be satisfied that the product is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial position. Certain strategies, such as a “spread” position or a “straddle”, may be as risky as a simple Long or Short position.


Although forex and derivative instruments can be used for the management of investment risk, some of these products are unsuitable for many investors. You should not engage in any dealings directly or indirectly in derivative products unless you know and understand the risks involved in them and that you may lose entirely all of your money. Different instruments involve different levels of exposure to risk and in deciding whether to trade in such instruments you should be aware of the following points:


EFFECT OF LEVERAGE

2. Under Margin Trading conditions even small market movements may have a great impact on the Customer’s Trading Account. It is important to note that all accounts trade under the effect of Leverage. The Customer must consider that if the market moves against the Customer, the Customer may sustain a total loss greater than the funds deposited. The Customer is responsible for all the risks, financial resources the Customer uses, and for the chosen trading strategy.


It is highly recommended that the Customer maintains a Margin Level (percentage Equity to Necessary Margin ratio which is calculated as Equity / Necessary Margin * 100%) of not lower than 1,000%. It is also recommended to place Stop Loss to limit potential losses, and Take Profit to collect profits when it is not possible for the Customer to manage the Customer’s Open Positions.


The Customer shall be responsible for all financial losses caused by the opening of the position using temporary excess Free Margin on the Trading Account gained as a result of a profitable position (cancelled by the Company afterwards) opened at an Error Quote (Spike) or at a Quote received as a result of a Manifest Error.


HIGH VOLATILE INSTRUMENTS

3. Some Instruments trade within wide intraday ranges with volatile price movements. Therefore, the Customer must carefully consider that there is a high risk of losses as well as profits. The price of Derivative financial instruments is derived from the price of the underlying asset in which the instruments refer to (for example currency, stock, metals, indices, etc). Derivative financial instruments and related markets can be highly volatile. The prices of instruments and the underlying asset may fluctuate rapidly and over wide ranges and may reflect unforeseeable events or changes in conditions, none of which can be controlled by the Customer or the Company. Under certain market conditions, it may be impossible for a Customer’s order to be executed at the declared price leading to losses. The prices of instruments and the underlying asset will be influenced by, amongst other things, changing supply and demand relationships, governmental, agricultural, commercial, and trade programs and policies, national and international political and economic events, and the prevailing psychological characteristics of the relevant market place. Therefore, Stop Loss orders cannot guarantee the limit of loss.


The Customer acknowledges and accepts that, regardless of any information which may be offered by the Company, the value of Instruments may fluctuate downwards or upwards and it is even probable that the investment may become of no value. This is owed to the margining system applicable to such trades, which generally involves a comparatively modest deposit or margin in terms of the overall contract value, so that a relatively small movement in the underlying market can have a disproportionately dramatic effect on the Customer’s trade. If the underlying market movement is in the Customer’s favor, the Customer may achieve a good profit, but an equally small adverse market movement can not only quickly result in the loss of the Customer’s entire deposit but may also expose the Customer to a large additional loss.


LIQUIDITY

4. Some of the underlying assets may not become immediately liquid as a result of reduced demand for the underlying asset, and the Customer may not be able to obtain information on the value of these or the extent of the associated risks.

This is owed to the margining system applicable to such trades, which generally involves a comparatively modest deposit or margin in terms of the overall contract value, so that a relatively small movement in the underlying market can have a disproportionately dramatic effect on the Customer’s trade. If the underlying market movement is in the Customer’s favor, the Customer may achieve a good profit, but an equally small adverse market movement can not only quickly result in the loss of the Customer’s entire deposit but may also expose the Customer to a large additional loss.


LIQUIDITY

4. Some of the underlying assets may not become immediately liquid as a result of reduced demand for the underlying asset, and the Customer may not be able to obtain information on the value of these or the extent of the associated risks.
