Risk Disclosure
Important information about the risks associated with trading and investing in financial markets.
Last updated: March 2026
1. General Risk Warning
Trading and investing in financial instruments, including but not limited to equities, foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), commodities, indices, and digital assets, carries a significant level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade or invest, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and investing in financial markets and seek independent financial advice if you have any doubts or concerns.
2. Risk of Financial Loss
You could sustain a total loss of the funds deposited with us. The value of your investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than your original investment. In certain market conditions, you may find it impossible to close a position, which could result in losses exceeding your initial investment. There is no guarantee of profits, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
You should only invest money that you can afford to lose without affecting your standard of living or financial security. Trading with borrowed money or funds that you cannot afford to lose is strongly discouraged and may result in financial hardship.
3. Market Risk
Financial markets are subject to significant volatility and can be influenced by a wide range of factors including economic data releases, central bank policy decisions, geopolitical events, natural disasters, and market sentiment. These factors can cause rapid and substantial price movements that may result in significant gains or losses. Market conditions can change quickly and without warning, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to execute trades at your desired prices.
4. Leverage Risk
Some financial instruments available through our platform may involve the use of leverage, which allows you to control a larger position with a relatively small amount of capital. While leverage can amplify profits, it can equally amplify losses. You could lose more than your initial margin deposit, and you may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice to maintain your positions. Failure to meet margin requirements may result in the forced closure of your positions at a loss.
5. Technology Risk
Electronic trading platforms and internet-based trading carry inherent risks, including system failures, software errors, connectivity issues, and delays in data transmission. While mQuanture takes all reasonable measures to ensure the reliability and availability of our platform, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. You should have contingency plans in place in case of technology failures and should not rely solely on electronic systems for critical trading decisions.
6. Liquidity Risk
Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur during periods of rapid price movement, if the price moves to an extent that trading is halted, or due to insufficient market liquidity. Such conditions may prevent you from limiting your losses or realising your profits at your desired price levels.
7. Currency Risk
If you trade instruments denominated in a currency other than your base currency, exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the value, price, or income of your investments. Changes in exchange rates may increase or decrease the value of your investment and any returns you receive, regardless of the performance of the underlying asset.
8. Regulatory Risk
The regulatory environment for financial markets is subject to change, and new regulations or changes to existing regulations could adversely affect the value of your investments, your ability to trade certain instruments, or the services we are able to offer. You should be aware that regulatory changes could occur in the jurisdictions where you reside, where the assets you trade are based, or where mQuanture operates.
9. No Investment Advice
mQuanture does not provide personalised investment advice. The information, tools, and resources available on our platform are provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. You are solely responsible for your own investment decisions and should seek independent professional advice before making any investment.
