Risk Warning

This warning provides information on the risks associated with the services offered by the Dimond Affiliation BC company

All transactions relating to stocks, ETFs or cryptocurrencies or allows short trades, and/or some copy trading transactions will be considered CFD transactions.

All of these products carry a high level of risk and may therefore not be suitable for all investors. This disclosure contains information on the risks associated with these products, but cannot specify all the risks, nor how these risks may affect the personal situation of each investor. If in doubt, we recommend that you seek external professional advice. Before engaging in any trading activity with any broker or service, it is important that each investor fully understands the possible risks, has the adequate financial resources to address such risks and closely monitors his or her positions. Trading involves risk to your capital. You should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose, however the maximum loss you can incur is the equity in your account.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND/OR THIS GENERAL RISK DISCLOSURE, FRENCH RESIDENTS ARE ENTITLED TO INHERENT PROTECTION. ACCORDINGLY AND REGARDLESS OF MARKET VOLATILITY, THEIR MAXIMUM LOSS RELATING TO EACH TRANSACTION WILL BE THE TOTAL AMOUNT INVESTED IN SUCH TRANSACTION, AS UPDATED BY SUCH USER FROM TIME TO TIME.

CFDs

CFD stands for "Contract For Difference": this tool allows you to buy not the underlying asset, but a contract that establishes the difference between the final price and the initial price of the underlying. When trading CFDs, your investment is made on margin – this means you only need to deposit a small percentage of the total value of your position. This is known as “Leverage” and even small market movements can have a large impact, positive or negative, on your trading account.

If the market is adverse, your total loss could be greater than the total funds invested in a given position. Each trader will be held responsible for his losses up to the total of his assets in the account.

Before deciding to trade on margin, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. Our CDFs are not listed on the stock exchange. CFDs carry a higher level of risk than publicly traded investment products, as market liquidity cannot be guaranteed and as a result, it may be more difficult to liquidate an existing position. Prices and other conditions are set by eToro, in accordance with our obligation to offer best possible execution as set out in our order execution policy, act responsibly and operate in compliance with applicable terms and conditions. The characteristics of the CFDs we offer may differ significantly from the underlying instrument or market. Detailed analysis of all offered CFDs is available on our website. In the event of corporate events affecting the underlying assets, eToro does not seek to profit its clients by exploiting the outcome of such events, such as legal disputes, acquisitions, mergers, share distributions, consolidations and public offerings. Our aim is to give others the treatment that we ourselves would receive, or would like to receive, if we used our exposure to one of our traders as a hedging tool in the underlying market. However, in the case of CFDs the conditions may be less advantageous than an investment in the underlying market.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 77.30% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs. You need to know how CFDs work and whether you can afford to lose your money.

CFDs are not suitable for long-term investors. Keeping an investment position in CFDs open for a long period of time causes the associated costs to increase (such as overnight fees), in which case it may be more advantageous to invest directly in the underlying. Sudden market movements, known as "gapping", can also cause a drastic change in the price of the underlying. The gapping phenomenon can occur when the underlying market is closed and, consequently, lead the price on the underlying market to open at a very different level, less advantageous for the investor.

While a position is open, you should ensure that your account meets our margin requirements, which may change from time to time. Therefore, if the market is adverse or if the margin requirements are modified, each user must be able to provide, in a short time, an amount of additional funds necessary to meet the margin requirements, otherwise the open positions will be closed. If the user will not be able to deposit the requested funds, we will be forced to close one or more or all open positions; in this case, the investor will be held responsible for any losses incurred.

Anyone who decides to continue operations and open an account on our platform and/or join our services confirms that they know and understand the possible risks.

Location control

You must also ensure that you can check the open positions in your account at any time, as you will be solely responsible for doing so. Dimond Affiliation BC shall not be held responsible for monitoring user account positions.

Execution

Dimond Affiliation BC offers automated trading services and is committed to providing the best possible execution. However, it is possible that the market prices may vary from the moment the order is placed to the moment it is executed: in this case, the price could be more or less favorable for the trader.

In order to contain your losses, we require you to select “stop loss” limits. These limits, once set, will automatically close positions that reach the indicated price level. There are, however, circumstances where a "stop loss" limit is not sufficient for this purpose (for example, when price movements are too rapid or the markets are closed).

There are also risks associated with the execution of online transactions and online trading systems, including, but not limited to, failure of hardware and software equipment and malfunction of the Internet connection.

Copy trading

Dimond FC LTD offers Social Copy Trading Features. Before deciding whether to copy a particular trader(s), and/or follow a specific strategy, you should take into account your general financial situation and financial commitments, and understand that using social trading features is highly speculative and that any losses you may incur could prove to be far greater than the total funds used to copy one or more traders. The risks associated with Social Features Copy Trading include, but are not limited to, the automatic execution of orders, which provides for the opening and closing of transactions in the user's account without manual intervention by the latter.
