Retail participation in off-exchange foreign currency (forex) markets has increased dramatically in the past few years. If you are a retail investor considering participating in this market, you need to fully understand the market and some of its unique features. Like many other investments, off-exchange foreign currency trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. In fact, you could lose all of your initial investment and may be liable for additional losses. Therefore, you need to
understand the risks associated with this product.
You should also understand the language of the forex markets before trading in those markets. The glossary in the back of our booklet defines some of the most commonly used terms. This booklet does not suggest that you should or should not participate in the retail offexchange foreign currencymarket.
You should make that decision after consulting with your financial advisor and considering your own financial situation and objectives. In that regard, you may find this booklet helpful as one component of the due diligence process that investors are encouraged to undertake before making any investment decisions about the off-exchange foreign currency market.
Finally, the discussion in this booklet assumes you are funding your forex account with US dollars. The principles in this booklet apply to all currencies, however.
