Risk Disclaimer

Last updated: March 23, 2026

Trading forex and CFDs involves significant risk of loss. Between 70-80% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

1. High Risk Warning

Trading forex, CFDs, and other leveraged financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

The high degree of leverage can work both for and against you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

You could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

2. No Financial Advice

The Trading Mentor provides educational content only. Nothing on this website should be interpreted as:

• Personal financial advice
• A recommendation to trade any specific instrument
• A guarantee that any strategy, indicator, or approach will be profitable
• An inducement to open a trading account with any broker

The information on this site is general in nature and does not take into account your personal financial situation, needs, or objectives.

3. Past Performance

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Any trading results, backtests, or performance data mentioned in our articles are historical and do not guarantee future performance. Market conditions change constantly, and strategies that worked in the past may fail in the future.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

4. Broker Reviews

Our broker reviews are based on research and analysis conducted at a specific point in time. Broker conditions — including spreads, fees, regulation, and available instruments — change frequently.

Important:
• Always verify current conditions directly with the broker before opening an account
• Regulatory status can change — check your local regulator's website
• Spreads and fees shown are indicative and may vary by account type, region, and market conditions
• Leverage limits depend on your jurisdiction and regulatory entity

5. Leverage and Margin Risk

Leveraged trading means you can control large positions with a small deposit. While this amplifies potential profits, it equally amplifies potential losses.

• A small market movement can result in proportionally larger losses
• Margin calls can force the closure of your positions at a loss
• You may lose more than your initial deposit with some brokers
• Stop-loss orders may not always execute at the requested price due to market gaps and slippage

If you do not understand how leverage works, do not trade with real money.

6. Regional Restrictions

The availability of specific brokers, instruments, and leverage levels varies by jurisdiction. Some brokers mentioned on this site may not be available in your country or may operate under different regulatory conditions.

It is your responsibility to determine whether accessing this site and the services referenced here complies with the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction.
