Risk warning and disclosure

Leverage limits and spreads change; check the figures on each provider's site, and remember that higher leverage raises risk, not returns.

This page is general information, not personal advice. CFDs are leveraged; losses can mount quickly and most retail clients lose money. Pepperstone and XS serve Singapore residents from offshore entities without a MAS licence, so MAS rules and Singapore dispute channels do not cover those accounts. Spread figures are minimums or averages the providers publish and widen in fast markets.
