Risk disclosure
Past results, in a backtest or on a live account, don’t guarantee future results, and trading with an EA can lose money. Trading foreign exchange, CFDs, and other financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, 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.1-on-1 coaching
