Note: Foreign exchange rates can move in favor of or against you. If they move against you to the extent that your margin deposit goes below 3% (for Category A currencies), 5% (for Category B currencies) or 10% (for Category C currency) of your foreign exchange contract line of credit, we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible to give you the option of depositing more funds or closing your position.

IMPORTANT: The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange trading can be substantial. You may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as ˇ§stop lossˇ¨ or ˇ§stop limitˇ¨ orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, your position will be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. Please refer to the risk disclosures in the specific documentation of these products before making decision to invest using margin or leverage.
