Risk Disclosure
Trading FX on simulated funding is risky and may not be suitable for everyone. No simulated profits are guaranteed. Funding depends on adherence to these rules and KYC. Prices and execution can be impacted by liquidity and market conditions, which may lead to slippage, delays, partial fills, or fills at worse prices than expected, so only participate if you fully understand these risks and can afford the potential loss.
