RISK WARNING

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A high percentage of retail trader accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Backtesting results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future performance.
