Risk Warning

Trading financial instruments offered by KTL Markets Limited ("KTL Markets" or "the Company"), including Forex, Contracts for Difference (CFDs), Cryptocurrencies, Indices, Commodities, Equities, and other derivative products, involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. These markets are characterized by volatility, leverage, and the potential for rapid and substantial losses.

1. Leverage and Margin Risk

Trading on margin or using leverage allows clients to control positions much larger than their initial capital, which can magnify both potential profits and potential losses. Even small adverse market movements can lead to substantial losses, potentially exceeding the funds deposited in the client’s account. Clients may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice to maintain open positions. Failure to meet margin requirements may result in the automatic closure of positions at a loss.

2. Market and Price Risk

The value of financial instruments can fluctuate rapidly due to factors beyond the Company's control, including market volatility, liquidity constraints, geopolitical events, economic data releases, and central bank policies. Prices quoted on KTL Markets' platforms may differ from other brokers or market sources, especially during periods of high volatility or low liquidity.

3. Specific Risks by Asset Class

• CFDs: CFDs are complex instruments that allow speculation on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses.
• Forex: The Forex market operates 24 hours a day, offering high liquidity and profit opportunities. However, exchange rates can fluctuate significantly.
• Cryptocurrencies: Cryptocurrency markets are extremely volatile and can experience rapid, unpredictable price movements.

4. Risks Associated with Account Activity

Withdrawal During Active Trades: Withdrawing funds from your account while open positions exist may affect total margin levels. Insufficient margin can lead to automatic closure of positions.

5. System and Electronic Trading Risks

Trading through KTL Markets' electronic platforms carries inherent risks related to hardware, software, internet connectivity, and network performance.

6. Counterparty and Principal Risk

KTL Markets acts as a principal in most over-the-counter (OTC) transactions. Clients are exposed to counterparty risk, including the possibility that the Company or other counterparties may default.

7. Funding, Deposit, and Segregation Risks

Client funds are held in accordance with KTL Markets' operational and regulatory practices. Depending on account type, trading activity, and margin usage, deposited funds may not always be held in segregated accounts.

8. Costs, Fees, and Charges

Trading incurs costs including spreads, commissions, overnight financing, and other charges depending on the asset class and payment method.

9. Foreign Exchange and Currency Risk

For accounts or trades denominated in currencies other than the client’s base currency, fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the value of deposits, withdrawals, profits, and losses.

10. Market Disruptions and Regulatory Risks

Unexpected events such as government interventions, trading suspensions, regulatory changes, or market disruptions can impact execution, pricing, and the availability of instruments.

11. Suitability and Client Responsibility

Clients must ensure that trading leveraged products, derivatives, or cryptocurrencies is appropriate for their financial situation and risk appetite. Only funds that clients can afford to lose should be used for trading.

12. Risk Management Recommendations

Clients are encouraged to implement risk management strategies, including using stop-loss orders, monitoring account balances, and avoiding over-leveraging.
