Risk Warning

High Risk Investment

Margined Currency Trading is one of the riskiest forms of investment available in the financial markets and is only suitable for sophisticated individuals and institutions. An account with IBFX permits you to trade foreign currencies on a highly leveraged basis (up to approximately 50 times your account equity). In a standard account an initial deposit of $1,000 will enable the account holder to take a maximum position of $100,000 market value. (Please note that the minimum required to open an account is $2,500 for a standard account and $250 for a mini).

The funds in an account trading at maximum leverage can be completely lost, if the position(s) held in the account has a one percent swing in value. Theoretically, an account could lose more than the equity it contains, if the account is trading at maximum leverage and positions held in the account swing more than one percent in value. Given the possibility of losing one's entire investment, speculation in the off-exchange retail foreign currency market should only be conducted with risk capital funds that if lost will not significantly effect one's personal or institution's financial well beings.
