Risk Disclosure

Nature of the risk

Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference (CFDs) and other leveraged derivatives carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for every investor. These are complex instruments, and the majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

You can lose your entire deposited capital, and losses can accumulate quickly. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose, or with funds set aside for essential needs and obligations.

Leverage risk

Leverage magnifies both profits and losses. With leveraged positions, a small price movement against you can produce a loss that is large relative to your deposit — and in fast markets, execution at your intended price is not guaranteed. ASIC caps retail CFD leverage at Australian-regulated brokers (30:1 on major currency pairs and lower on gold, indices, commodities and crypto) precisely because of this danger. Understand margin requirements, and the possibility of margin calls and forced liquidation, before trading any leveraged product.

Offshore brokers and ASIC protections

Some brokers reviewed on this site, including our partner Base Markets (regulated by the FSC in Mauritius), are licensed offshore and are not regulated by ASIC. Australians can legally open accounts with offshore brokers, but ASIC's retail protections — leverage caps, negative balance protection requirements and access to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority — do not apply to those accounts, and leverage offered offshore can be far higher than ASIC permits. Higher leverage means faster losses as well as faster gains. It is your responsibility to weigh that trade-off before opening any account.

We do not provide financial advice

All content on www.besttradingsignal.com — including signals, analysis, reviews, guides and performance figures — is general information and education. It is not personal financial, investment, legal or tax advice and does not consider your individual situation. We do not hold an Australian financial services licence. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their results. If you are unsure whether leveraged trading is appropriate for you, consult an independent licensed financial adviser.

Signals do not guarantee profit

Trading signals are analyst opinions about probable price movements. They can be wrong, and losing trades occur regularly even within a strong record. Our published track record — including the 94% average weekly accuracy by points described on the performance page — is historical, and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Your personal results will differ with your position sizing, spreads, execution and timing.

Be wary of anyone, anywhere, who promises certain profits from trading. Guaranteed returns do not exist in financial markets.

Our relationship with brokers

Best Trading Signal is an independent publisher, not a broker and not a firm licensed to provide regulated financial services. We are marketing partners of certain brokers and may receive a commission when you open an account through our links, at no extra cost to you. Your contractual relationship for any account, deposit or trade is directly with the broker, and we are not responsible for its services, execution or policies, or for any dispute between you and a broker.

Regulation and availability by country

Signal providers are generally not regulated as financial advisers — ASIC does not license or supervise signal services — and the products discussed on this site vary in availability, leverage limits and protections by country. Rules differ under regulators such as ASIC (Australia), the FCA (United Kingdom), CIRO (Canada), SEBI (India), CVM (Brazil) and CMVM (Portugal), and some jurisdictions restrict retail access to CFDs entirely. It is your responsibility to confirm that trading these products, and using offshore brokers, is lawful for you before opening an account or acting on any signal.
