Risk warnings

The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:

  • OneRoyal: Online trading in leveraged Foreign Exchange and CFD instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leveraged trading can result in significant losses as well as potential profits. Before deciding to invest in margin instruments, carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You should not risk more than you can afford to lose. Always ensure you understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.
  • Trendo: Forex and CFD trading are complex instruments and come with a high risk of rapid capital loss due to leverage. A significant percentage of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how these instruments work and whether you can afford to take the high risk associated with CFD trading. Trade responsibly: always consider your investment objectives, experience level, and risk appetite. If needed, seek advice from an independent financial advisor.

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
