Read this page before acting on any signal or opening any trading account. It is short on purpose, and every word of it applies to you.
Trading leveraged products is high risk
Contracts for difference (CFDs), spot forex and other leveraged derivatives are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly. A large majority of retail investor accounts lose money trading these products. You can lose your entire deposit, and depending on the broker and account type, in adverse conditions losses can exceed it. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose — not rent, not savings you depend on, not borrowed funds.
Leverage cuts both ways
Leverage lets you control a position many times larger than your deposit. A 1% market move against a position leveraged 30:1 wipes out roughly 30% of the margin behind it. Leverage magnifies losses exactly as efficiently as it magnifies gains, and it is the single biggest reason retail trading accounts fail. Whatever leverage a broker offers, you are never obliged to use it fully.
Signals are opinions, not guarantees
Every signal we publish is a general analyst opinion about a probable price move, provided for informational and educational purposes. Signals are not personal investment advice and are not tailored to your finances, objectives or risk tolerance. Losing signals occur every month. Our published track record — 94% average weekly accuracy by points over 25 published weeks — is historical fact, not a forecast: past performance does not guarantee future results, and no outcome, win rate or profit is ever guaranteed or implied. Anyone who guarantees trading profits is lying to you.
Regulatory status in Canada
Best Trading Signal is not an investment dealer or adviser, is not a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO), and is not registered with any Canadian securities regulator. CIRO and the provincial securities commissions regulate dealers and advisers in Canada — they do not regulate or endorse signal providers. Partner brokers featured on this Site may be regulated outside Canada (for example, Base Markets is regulated by the FSC in Mauritius); accounts with non-Canadian brokers are not protected by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF), and local complaint and compensation schemes will not apply. Verify any broker's regulatory status yourself before depositing.
Your results will differ from the published record
Points measure market movement, not your personal profit or loss. Your outcome in Canadian dollars depends on your position sizing, the leverage you use, your broker's spreads and execution, currency conversion, and which signals you actually take. Two traders following identical signals routinely end up with different results.
Your responsibilities
- Trade only with capital you can afford to lose entirely
- Risk no more than 1–2% of your account on any single trade
- Always use the stop loss published with each signal
- Understand an instrument and its margin requirements before trading it
- If you are unsure whether trading is appropriate for you, consult a registered financial adviser — we cannot advise you personally
