Trading futures, foreign exchange, and options on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade futures, foreign exchange, or options you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk tolerance.
