Section FIVE: Risk Disclaimer Risk of trading in leveraged foreign exchange contracts

The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange trading can be substantial. You may sustain losses in

excess of your initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "limit" orders,

will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible

to execute such orders. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds.

If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated.

You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully

consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment

objectives.

Risk of electronic trading

Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other electronic trading systems.

If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated

with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may

be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.
