Important Notice
This Risk Disclosure Statement is an essential document that outlines the significant risks associated with trading on the Quotex platform. By accessing our services and engaging in trading activities, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted all risks described herein.
Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources, and other relevant circumstances.
General Risk Warning
Loss of Capital
Trading financial instruments carries a high level of risk to your capital. You may lose some or all of your invested funds. You should never invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Before trading, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk tolerance.
No Guaranteed Returns
There are no guarantees of profit when trading on our platform. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any historical returns, expected returns, or probability projections are hypothetical in nature and may not reflect actual future performance.
Market Volatility
Financial markets can be extremely volatile and unpredictable. Prices can move rapidly in unfavorable directions, potentially resulting in significant losses in a short period. Market conditions can change without warning due to economic events, political developments, natural disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Specific Trading Risks
Price Fluctuation Risk
The value of financial instruments fluctuates constantly based on supply and demand, market sentiment, economic indicators, and numerous other factors. These fluctuations can be substantial and occur rapidly, making it difficult to predict price movements with certainty.
Execution Risk
While we strive to provide fast and reliable trade execution, there may be delays or technical issues that prevent orders from being executed at your desired price. During periods of high market volatility or platform congestion, slippage may occur, resulting in execution at prices different from those displayed at the time of order placement.
Leverage and Margin Risk
If our platform offers leveraged trading, you should understand that leverage amplifies both potential gains and potential losses. A small adverse price movement can result in losses that exceed your initial investment. Margin calls may require you to deposit additional funds or close positions at unfavorable prices.
Liquidity Risk
Some financial instruments may have limited liquidity, making it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices. In illiquid markets, you may be unable to close positions or may only be able to do so at significantly disadvantageous prices.
Gap Risk
Markets can “gap” or jump from one price level to another without trading at intermediate prices. This often occurs during market openings, after significant news announcements, or during periods of low liquidity. Gaps can result in losses greater than anticipated, and stop-loss orders may not protect you from gap risk.
Technology and Platform Risks
Technical Failures
Our platform depends on complex technology infrastructure. Despite our best efforts to maintain reliable systems, technical failures, internet connectivity issues, hardware malfunctions, or software bugs may occur. These issues could prevent you from accessing your account, placing orders, or managing positions.
Cybersecurity Risks
While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely immune to cyber threats. Hacking attempts, data breaches, or unauthorized access could potentially compromise your account or personal information.
Third-Party Dependencies
Our platform relies on third-party service providers for data feeds, payment processing, and other critical functions. Service interruptions or failures by these providers could affect your ability to trade or access your funds.
System Overload
During periods of extreme market volatility or high trading volume, our systems may experience delays or temporary unavailability. This could prevent you from entering, modifying, or closing positions at critical times.
Regulatory and Legal Risks
Regulatory Changes
Financial markets are subject to extensive regulation that varies by jurisdiction. Changes in laws, regulations, or regulatory interpretations could affect your ability to trade certain instruments, impact taxation of your trading activities, or require modifications to our platform that affect your trading experience.
Jurisdictional Limitations
Our services may not be available in all countries or jurisdictions. If you access our platform from a location where our services are restricted or prohibited, you may be violating local laws and could face legal consequences.
Tax Implications
Trading activities may have tax consequences depending on your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable tax obligations. We recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional regarding the tax treatment of your trading activities.
Market-Specific Risks
Currency Risk
If you trade assets denominated in foreign currencies or maintain account balances in currencies other than your home currency, you are exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations. These fluctuations can affect the value of your account and trading results when converted to your base currency.
Commodity-Specific Risks
Trading commodities involves exposure to factors such as weather conditions, geopolitical events, supply chain disruptions, and seasonal variations that can cause extreme price volatility.
Cryptocurrency Risk
If our platform offers cryptocurrency trading, you should be aware that cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, largely unregulated, and subject to unique risks including technological failures, regulatory crackdowns, market manipulation, and liquidity concerns.
Index and Derivative Risks
Trading indices, options, futures, or other derivative instruments involves complex pricing mechanisms and risks that may differ from trading underlying assets directly. You should ensure you fully understand the specific characteristics and risks of any derivative products before trading them.
Personal Risk Factors
Emotional Decision-Making
Trading can be emotionally challenging, particularly during periods of significant gains or losses. Emotional decision-making, including fear, greed, or panic, can lead to poor trading choices that result in substantial losses.
Overtrading
The ease and speed of online trading may encourage excessive trading activity. Overtrading can lead to increased transaction costs, emotional exhaustion, and poor risk management.
Lack of Knowledge or Experience
Trading without adequate knowledge, training, or experience significantly increases your risk of losses. We strongly encourage all users to utilize our educational resources and practice with a demo account before committing real capital.
Addiction Risk
For some individuals, trading can become addictive and lead to compulsive behavior that results in financial, personal, and psychological harm. If you believe you may have a problem with compulsive trading, we encourage you to seek professional help.
Information and Communication Risks
Information Accuracy
While we strive to provide accurate market data, prices, and information, errors can occur. You should not rely solely on information provided through our platform and should verify critical information through independent sources.
Communication Delays
Market-moving news and information may not reach all market participants simultaneously. Delays in receiving important information could put you at a disadvantage compared to other traders.
Analysis Limitations
Any market analysis, trading signals, or educational content provided on our platform represents opinions and should not be construed as investment advice or guaranteed predictions. You should conduct your own independent analysis before making trading decisions.
Account and Fund Security Risks
Account Access
Failure to maintain proper security of your login credentials could result in unauthorized access to your account and potential loss of funds. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
Payment Processing Risks
Deposits and withdrawals are subject to processing by third-party payment providers. Delays, fees, or issues with payment processing may affect your ability to access or withdraw funds in a timely manner.
Fund Segregation
While we maintain appropriate fund management practices, you should understand that various business or operational risks could potentially affect the security of client funds.
No Advisory Relationship
Independent Decision-Making
Quotex provides a trading platform but does not provide investment advice, financial planning services, or portfolio management. All trading decisions are made independently by you, and you bear full responsibility for the outcomes of those decisions.
Due Diligence
You are responsible for conducting your own research, analysis, and due diligence before entering any trade. We do not make recommendations regarding the suitability of any particular investment or trading strategy for your individual circumstances.
Professional Consultation
We strongly recommend that you consult with qualified financial, legal, and tax professionals before engaging in trading activities, particularly if you are uncertain about the risks involved or the suitability of trading for your situation.
Demo Account Limitations
Simulated Environment
Demo accounts provide a simulated trading environment that may not accurately reflect real market conditions. Factors such as execution speed, available liquidity, slippage, and psychological pressures differ significantly between demo and live trading.
Performance Differences
Success in a demo account does not guarantee success in live trading. Many traders experience substantially different results when transitioning from demo to live accounts due to psychological factors and real financial risk.
Educational Resources Disclaimer
Any educational materials, tutorials, webinars, or training content provided by Quotex are for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice. These resources are designed to help you understand trading concepts and our platform features, but they cannot guarantee trading success or eliminate risk.
External Factors
Force Majeure
Events beyond our control, including natural disasters, wars, terrorist acts, pandemics, government actions, or telecommunications failures, may affect our ability to provide services or may cause extreme market disruptions. We are not liable for losses resulting from such events.
Market Manipulation
Financial markets can be subject to manipulation by large participants, coordinated trading groups, or unfair practices. Such manipulation can result in artificial price movements that may adversely affect your positions.
Your Responsibilities
Risk Assessment
You must assess whether trading is suitable for you based on your financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and experience level. You should only trade with risk capital that you can afford to lose without affecting your standard of living.
Continuous Monitoring
You are responsible for actively monitoring your open positions, account balance, margin requirements, and market conditions. Failure to monitor your account adequately can result in unexpected losses.
Strategy and Risk Management
You must develop and implement appropriate trading strategies and risk management techniques, including the use of stop-loss orders, position sizing, and diversification where appropriate.
Staying Informed
You should stay informed about market conditions, economic events, and any changes to our platform, policies, or terms of service that may affect your trading activities.
