Risk Warning

General Risk Warning

Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and Foreign Exchange (Forex) trading involve a high degree of risk. The financial products offered by Dolphin Markets Ltd. are leveraged products that carry a substantial risk of loss to your capital.

These instruments are suitable only for experienced investors who understand and are willing to accept the risks involved. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Leverage Risk

Leverage (or margin trading) amplifies both gains and losses. A small movement in the underlying market can have a disproportionately large effect on your traded position. This can work against you as well as for you.

• You may sustain a total loss of your initial margin and any additional funds deposited
• If the market moves against your position, you may be required to deposit additional funds on short notice
• Leverage ratios vary by instrument and account type (up to 1:2000 for major forex pairs)

Market Risk

Financial markets can be extremely volatile. Prices may fluctuate rapidly, especially during times of high volatility such as major economic announcements, central bank decisions, or geopolitical events.

Market conditions such as low liquidity or high volatility may result in:

• Gaps in quoted prices
• Slippage (execution at a different price than requested)
• Requotes (price adjustments before execution)

Counterparty Risk

As a CFD provider, Dolphin Markets acts as the counterparty to all trades. This means that you have a contractual obligation to us, not to the underlying market or asset. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, your positions may be affected.

Operational Risk

Trading involves risks related to systems and technology, including:

• Internet connectivity issues
• Communication failures
• Hardware or software malfunctions
• Power outages

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Trading CFDs may not be legal in certain jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure that:

• You are legally permitted to trade CFDs in your jurisdiction
• You comply with all applicable laws and regulations
• You understand the tax implications of your trading activities

Negative Balance Protection

Dolphin Markets provides negative balance protection, meaning that you cannot lose more than the funds you have deposited with us. However, in extreme market conditions, there may be delays in implementing this protection.

Risk Management

To minimize risks, we recommend:

• Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose
• Use stop-loss and take-profit orders
• Never over-leverage your account
• Keep up to date with market news and events
• Use a demo account to practice before trading live
• Do not trade when emotionally distressed
• Seek independent financial advice if unsure
