Risk Warning Statement

Last updated: April 2026

General Risk Warning

Trading foreign exchange (Forex) and derivative contracts on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage available in FX trading (up to 1:500) can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.

There is a possibility that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose entirely. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading.

MST-FOREX System Specific Risks

  • Algorithmic Trading Risk: The MST-FOREX V8 engine executes trades automatically based on mathematical models. Past algorithmic performance does not guarantee future results. Model assumptions may break down under extreme market conditions.
  • Leverage Risk: The system operates on a Fusion Markets ZERO account with 1:500 leverage. Small market movements can result in large losses relative to the deposited capital.
  • Technology Risk: Execution depends on VPS uptime, MT5 connectivity, and internet infrastructure. System failures, network outages, or broker platform issues may prevent timely trade execution or exit.
  • Liquidity Risk: During high-impact news events, market gaps, or low-liquidity periods (weekends, holidays), slippage may significantly exceed expected levels.
  • Concentration Risk: The portfolio trades 8 FX clusters. Correlated movements across currency pairs may amplify drawdowns beyond historical backtested levels.
