Risk disclosure.

Stated plainly, because this is the part most sites bury.

Trading forex carries a high risk of loss

Trading foreign exchange and contracts for difference carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Across the disclosures European regulators require, roughly 74–89% of retail CFD accounts lose money. You should never trade with money you cannot afford to lose entirely.

Leverage increases losses as well as gains

Leverage means a small price move can produce a loss much larger than it appears. At high leverage without position-size control, a single stop can cost 10–20% of an account, and a short run of them can end it.

Nothing here is financial advice

FirstPip publishes general educational content. It does not take your circumstances, income, obligations or risk tolerance into account, and it is not a personal recommendation to trade any instrument. We are not licensed financial advisers. If you need advice for your situation, consult someone qualified and regulated in your jurisdiction.

No promises, no past-performance claims

We never promise profits and never publish expected returns. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and any example figures on this site are illustrations of arithmetic, not forecasts.

Jurisdiction

Availability and the rules governing retail trading differ by country, including leverage limits and whether certain products may be offered to retail clients at all. Check what applies where you live before acting on anything you read here.
