17.4 Risk Disclosure Notice
There is considerable exposure to risk in any derivative trading transaction. Any transaction involving derivatives involves risks including, but not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price or liquidity of a currency.
The leveraged nature of derivative trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against- as well as for the benefit of a User. The possibility exists that a User could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and be required to deposit additional funds to maintain his/her position. If a User fails to meet any margin call within the time prescribed, his/her position will be liquidated, and will the User be responsible for any resulting losses.
The Smart Online Trader Algorithm/s will aim to lower the exposure to risk by employing risk-reducing strategies such as a stop-loss as well as securing trades once profits have been achieved.
Derivative trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risks. A User must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them to trade in the financial markets. Don’t trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses like those discussed during our online sessions. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.
By purchasing any Smart Online Trader products, the User acknowledges and accepts that all trading decisions are his/her own or sole responsibility, and the author and anybody associated with any Smart Online Trader products will not be held responsible for any losses that are incurred as a result.

Any live trading that a User executes, be it manual or automated, is done so at his/her own risk and discretion. A User can lose large sums of money by taking excess risk while trading in the live market.
