Read this disclosure carefully before acting on any signal or opening any trading account. It applies to everything published on this site.
Nature of the risk
Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference (CFDs), spread bets 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 — the standardised warnings you see on every FCA-regulated broker's website exist because that statistic is real.
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. The FCA caps retail CFD leverage at 30:1 on major currency pairs precisely because higher leverage destroys retail accounts; offshore brokers may offer far higher leverage, which increases the risk accordingly. Understand margin requirements, margin calls and forced liquidation before trading any leveraged product.
Spread betting
Spread bets are leveraged products carrying the same market risk as CFDs: your stake per point multiplies losses exactly as it multiplies gains. UK tax treatment of spread betting depends on your individual circumstances and may change — nothing on this site is tax advice.
We do not provide investment advice
All content on www.besttradingsignal.com — including signals, analysis, reviews, guides and performance figures — is general information and education. It is not personal investment, financial, legal or tax advice and does not consider your individual situation. We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and signal providers generally fall outside the FCA's regulatory perimeter. 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 financial adviser authorised by the FCA.
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 — and UK protections
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. Where a partner broker is regulated offshore rather than by the FCA — Base Markets, for example, is regulated by the FSC in Mauritius — UK protections such as FSCS deposit compensation and access to the Financial Ombudsman Service do not apply. Confirm that trading these products, and using an offshore broker, is lawful and appropriate for you before opening an account or acting on any signal.
