This notice describes the main risks of trading the products offered by Robokapital. It does not describe every risk. You should not trade unless you understand the nature of the products and the extent of your exposure to risk.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 64.28% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

1. Leverage

CFDs are traded on margin. A small price movement can lead to a proportionally larger gain or loss. Leverage magnifies both profits and losses.

2. Market risk and volatility

Prices of financial instruments can move rapidly and unpredictably, including as a result of economic data, central bank decisions, political events and market sentiment. In volatile conditions, prices may gap, meaning that an order may be executed at a price significantly different from the requested price.

3. Margin close-out

If your account equity falls to 50% of the initial margin required for your open positions, positions will be closed automatically, which may crystallise losses.

4. Liquidity risk

Under certain market conditions it may be difficult or impossible to open or close a position at the desired price.

5. Overnight financing and costs

Holding leveraged positions overnight may incur financing charges. Costs reduce your overall return and should be considered before each transaction.

6. Currency risk

Where an instrument is denominated in a currency other than your account currency, exchange rate movements will affect the value of your positions and results.

7. Counterparty risk

CFDs are over-the-counter products and are not traded on a regulated exchange. You are exposed to the risk that the counterparty to your transaction is unable to meet its obligations. Client money is held in segregated accounts to mitigate this risk.

8. Technical risk

Trading through an online platform involves risks related to internet connectivity, hardware and software failures, and cyber-security. You should take appropriate measures to protect your devices and login details.

9. No advice

Robokapital does not provide investment advice. Any information published by us is general in nature. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

10. Retail client protections

Retail clients benefit from leverage limits, margin close-out protection and negative balance protection, in line with ESMA requirements. These protections may not apply to clients categorised as professional.
