Risk Disclosure

Margin trading:

  • Amplifies both potential gains and losses
  • May lead to losses exceeding the initial collateral
  • Can trigger forced liquidation when the debt ratio reaches system-defined thresholds
  • Is affected by rapid market movements that may raise the debt ratio unexpectedly
  • Requires continuous monitoring and awareness of borrowing costs (interest)

Margin trading is not suitable for all users. Individuals should:

  • Understand how leverage, liquidation, and interest function
  • Ensure they can monitor positions consistently
  • Consider independent financial advice where appropriate

Users must evaluate whether margin trading aligns with their financial situation and risk tolerance.
