Risk Disclaimer

High Risk Investment

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be appropriate for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading (including the fact that some of the products offered by STRATO are conducted "Off Exchange" and carry a separate set of risks), and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts. The transactions you are entering into with STRATO Forex are not traded on an exchange. Therefore, under the  International Bankruptcy Code, your funds may not receive the same protections as funds used to margin or guarantee exchange-traded futures and options contracts, which receive a priority in bankruptcy. Since that same priority has not been given to funds used for off-exchange forex trading, if STRATO Markets becomes insolvent and you have a claim for amounts deposited or profits earned on transactions with STRATO Markets  your claim may not receive a priority.  Without a priority, you are a general creditor and your claim will be paid, along with the claims of other general creditors, from any monies still available after priority claims are paid. Even customer funds that SRATO Markets keeps separate from its own operating funds may not be safe from the claims of other general and priority creditors.
