Prior to opening a Live trading account with Alpari (UK) you should fully understand all the potential risks involved in trading margined products.
Trading Forex, spread bets and CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and is not appropriate for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether online trading is appropriate for you, taking into consideration your age (applicants must be over 18), trading experience, lifestyle objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
Forex, spread bets and CFDs are usually traded with a high degree of leverage which means you only provide a fraction of the actual amount you are investing whilst sustaining profit/losses as if you had invested the whole amount yourself. This can work for you as well as against you. The possibility does exist that you could sustain a loss equal to or greater than the investment into your trading account. We do have risk management systems that are designed to prevent unmanageable losses although these measures still require a responsible approach to trading.
