Risk Disclosure

General Warning

This document has been prepared to explain the risks associated with the leveraged products and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) offered through Artemis Global. You are strongly advised to read and understand this document in full before deciding to trade.

Leveraged products and CFDs are complex financial instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Before trading these products, you should make sure you understand how they work and carefully consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money, given your financial circumstances.

Risk of Capital Loss

Leveraged trading allows you to open a position that is significantly larger than the margin you have deposited. This can amplify potential gains, but it can equally amplify the size of potential losses.

Depending on market conditions, it is possible to lose part or all of the capital invested. In certain circumstances, losses may even exceed the initial margin deposited into the account. You are strongly advised to trade only with funds you can afford to lose.

Past Performance

The past performance of any instrument, strategy, or market analysis is not an indicator or guarantee of future results. Market conditions are constantly changing, and results achieved in the past may not be repeated.

Volatility, Liquidity and Gap Risk

Financial markets may experience significant price volatility due to economic data releases, central bank decisions, geopolitical developments, and unforeseen events. During periods of high volatility, prices can change substantially within a short period of time.

Under conditions of low liquidity (for example, around market opening/closing hours, public holidays, or periods of reduced trading volume), it may become more difficult for orders to be executed at the requested price level.

Following periods when markets are closed (weekends or in the aftermath of significant news), prices may gap sharply. This can cause orders, including stop-loss orders, to be executed at a level different from the one expected.

Price Slippage

Slippage occurs when an order is executed at a price level different from the one requested, typically during periods of high market volatility, economic data releases, low liquidity, or rapid price movements.

Slippage can work both in favour of and against the investor, and it can directly affect the outcome of a trade.

Swaps and Trading Costs

Where an open position is carried over to the next trading day, an overnight financing cost or credit (swap) may be applied to the account. The swap amount may vary depending on the instrument traded, the direction and size of the position, and prevailing market conditions.

The spread (the difference between the buy and sell price) and any applicable commissions also form part of the overall cost of trading. You are encouraged to confirm current cost information via the platform or our customer support team before trading.

Suitability Assessment

Before trading leveraged products, it is important to honestly assess your level of knowledge, prior investment experience, and risk tolerance. These products may be suitable for investors who have a high tolerance for risk and who are in a position to absorb potential losses.

If you are unsure whether these products are suitable for you given your financial circumstances, objectives, or experience, you are advised to seek independent financial advice before trading.

No Guarantee of Profit

Trading in financial markets involves risk, and no guarantee of profit can be given. Depending on market conditions, part or all of the capital invested may be lost.

Artemis Global makes no representation or warranty that any trade or strategy will generate a profit. Educational content, market analysis, and information available on the platform are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.
