1. High Risk of Loss
Margin trading carries a high level of risk to your capital. The use of leverage amplifies both gains and losses. You may lose some or all of your invested capital in a short period of time.
You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. Before you decide to trade you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite.
2. Leverage and Margin
Leverage on OFinancial is dynamic and equity-tiered. The maximum leverage available is 1:1000 on FX majors; lower caps apply to metals, indices, oil, share CFDs and crypto. A small adverse move in the underlying instrument can produce losses far greater than the margin deposited.
If your equity falls below the margin requirement, OFinancial may issue a margin call or close some or all of your open positions at the prevailing market price without prior notice. Positions are closed at 50 % equity.
3. Negative Balance Protection
Retail clients of OFinancial benefit from negative balance protection: you cannot lose more than the funds you have deposited in your trading account. Negative balance protection does not extend to professional clients or to losses that occur outside of the trading platform (for example, banking or wallet-side issues).
4. Market and Liquidity Risk
Prices can move quickly in response to news, geopolitical events, central-bank decisions and other market-moving information. In such periods spreads can widen and slippage can occur — your order may be filled at a price that differs materially from your requested price.
During illiquid sessions (weekends for crypto, holidays for indices and metals, the daily roll-over window for FX) execution may be delayed or refused. You should not assume that any instrument is always tradable.
5. Counterparty and Execution Risk
OFinancial operates a Straight-Through Processing (STP) model and routes orders direct to tier-1 liquidity providers. There is, however, an irreducible counterparty risk that any of these providers, the technology stack or the broker entity itself could experience an outage, insolvency event or other operational failure.
Client funds are held in segregated accounts at top-tier banks and are not used for the broker's own purposes. Segregation reduces but does not eliminate counterparty risk.
6. Technology and Connectivity Risk
Online trading depends on the reliability of your internet connection, your device and the connection between you and the OFinancial servers. Latency, outages and software failures on your end or ours can prevent you from opening, modifying or closing positions in a timely manner.
You are responsible for using a stable connection and a supported MetaTrader 5 build. We recommend VPS hosting for traders running automated systems.
7. Tax and Regulatory Risk
Tax treatment of trading profits depends on your jurisdiction of residence and may change. You are solely responsible for declaring and paying any tax due on your trading results.
Regulatory rules in your country may restrict or prohibit margin trading of certain instruments. You confirm that your use of OFinancial complies with the laws of your jurisdiction.
8. Past Performance
Past performance of any instrument, account, strategy, partner, copy-trade provider or social-trading lead is not indicative of future results. Strategies that performed well historically may underperform or lose money in future market conditions.
9. Acknowledgement
By opening and trading an account with OFinancial you confirm that you have read this Risk Disclosure, understand the risks involved and accept full responsibility for your trading decisions and outcomes.
If anything in this notice is unclear you should consult an independent financial adviser before trading.
