⚠️Risk Statement
Last updated May 18, 2022
By visiting DXS.app (the “Company”) you (the “Customer”) are accepting all the risks described in this Risk Statement. “Company” in this statement is a reference to each entity within the DXS group of companies as defined in the Terms and Conditions.
1.1. The objectives of this Risk Statement (hereinafter referred to as the “Statement”) shall be as follows: to disclose information about the risks related to transactions on the financial markets in general and transactions with Contracts for Difference (hereinafter referred to as “CFD” or “CFDs”) in particular and give the Customer a warning of possible financial losses related to those risks. The list of risks presented in this Statement shall not be exhaustive due to the variety of possible situations arising when making such transactions. This Statement shall be for reference only and aimed at explaining in general terms the nature of the risks related to CFD trading.
1.2. The Customer shall acknowledge that CFD transactions are a speculative and risky investment; and they are suited only for those investors who:
understand and are ready to assume economic, legal and other risks;
are able to afford a risk of loss of the invested funds subject to their personal financial circumstances, financial resources and life obligations;
possess proficient knowledge in order to understand what CFD transactions are.
The Company shall give the Customer no recommendations or advice in regard to CFDs or investment recommendations of any kind. The Customer shall make independent decisions on the trading strategy and particular actions based on his/her own understanding of the market or on consultations received from independent consultants not affiliated with the Company. CFDs are derivative financial instruments, the price of which is derived from the prices of the underlying assets / markets to which they are tied (for example: currency, share indices, shares, metals, futures, etc.). For this reason, it is critically important that the Customer understands the risks associated with the trading of the respective underlying asset / market. Here are some of those risks:
volatility: movement of the price of the underlying asset / market can be irregular and unpredictable. This volatility has a direct influence on the financial results of the Customer. Understanding of market volatility allows the Customer to analyze potential profit and elucidate a trading strategy;
market fluctuations: sudden change of the price of the underlying asset from one level to another. Various factors can result in sudden changes (for example, economic events or market announcements). Appearance of such factors is possible when the market is open or closed. If such factors appear when the market is closed the opening price of the underlying asset after appearance of those factors can be much different from the closing price of such underlying asset. Upon that, there may be no possibility to close the open position at a favorable price. Such a situation can result in both substantial losses and substantial profit;
liquidity: the value of CFDs can depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, change in the demand and supply balance; government, agricultural, commercial and trade plans and strategies; national and international political and economic events; and the predominant mental approach on the respective market.
The market conditions can vary considerably within a very short period and, therefore, upon certain conditions of the market it may be possible that the Customer will not obtain the expected profit.
1.3. The Customer shall assume the risks of financial losses due to the failure, interruption, shutdown or malicious actions of third parties in regard to information, communication, electrical, electronic and other systems used to make transactions. Among other risks, the Customer shall assume the following risks of losses resulting from:
power cut and/or equipment shutdown on the part of the Customer or communication provider (including voice communication) of the Customer;
physical damage (or destruction) of the communication channels used for connection of the data provider of the Customer and cellular communication provider (operator) and the Customer’s server;
breakdown (unduly low quality) of transmission through the channels used by the Customer or the channels used by the communication provider or operator (including voice communication) of the Customer;
use of communication channels, equipment and software posing risks of a failure to receive, or ill-timed receipt, of messages (including text messages) by the Customer from the Company;
breakdown (unduly low quality) of transmission through the channels used by the Company, in particular, physical damage (destruction) of the communication channels by third parties.
