New to the Forex Markets and Online Foreign Exchange Trading

Forex markets are the most liquid and accessible markets in the world.

Online Forex Trading is available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week with Alpari (UK).

Foreign Exchange trading gives you a great opportunity to speculate on price fluctuations of currencies.

For example, you decide to purchase 100,000 US Dollars against Japanese Yen at 125.00. Next day you sell 100,000 US dollars and buy Yen at 126.00 making a profit of approximately $ 793. To fund this position you need a deposit of $ 1,000 not $ 100,000 since the rest of the amount is leverage to you by Alpari (UK).

This example shows a favourable outcome. If the price had moved against you, you would realise a loss not a profit and with leverage this loss will be magnified. For example, if you closed the position at 1.2400, your loss would be approximately $ 793.

Risk warning
This notice cannot and does not disclose or explain all of the risks and other significant aspects involved in dealing in such products as FOREX and CFDs, but you should particularly note the following:

* Under margin trading conditions even small market movements may have great impact on the customer's trading account. You must consider that if the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the funds deposited. You are responsible for all the risks, financial resources you use and for the chosen trading strategy.
* Some instruments trade within wide intraday ranges with volatile price movements. Therefore, you must carefully consider that there is a high risk of losses as well as profits.

It is important that you should not engage in trading unless you understand the nature of the transaction you are entering into and, the true extent of the exposure to the risk of loss. These products may not be suitable for all investors; therefore if you do not fully understand the risks involved, you must seek independent advice.
