CFD Risks and Limitations of Information

What a CFD Is and Where Risk Arises

By the company's own definition, a CFD is a contract for the difference in value of an underlying asset, not a purchase of the asset itself. You do not become the owner of a share, currency or metal; you gain or lose the difference. This means the risk is not limited only to your deposit in the usual sense: if the market moves against you, the loss can exceed the amount invested if the position is not protected by a stop.

Leverage changes the required margin and total exposure. The numerical example from educational materials is an illustration of calculation, not a proposed account limit. Actual limits depend on the legal entity, client classification, instrument and position size, so a universal "maximum leverage" or a single stop-out level cannot be named. See leverage and margin.

Verifying the Legal Entity and Country

Services and products depend on the country of residence and the organisation that maintains the account. Official legal information lists restrictions, including the USA, Iran and Canada. but this list must be re-read on the current page and should not be considered exhaustive.

The Russian language of the interface does not confirm availability in Russia. The same applies to French and Spanish: the language of a page does not equal the right to be served in France or Spain. Before registering, check which legal entity is named in the contract, where it is registered and which licence applies to it. See regulation and Russia and registration.

Bank of Russia Record

In the Bank of Russia warning list there is an entry with the labels "Fx Pro, FXRed" and the category "signs of an illegal professional participant in the securities market". The entry lists the domains fxpro.com and fxpro.ru; the date of inclusion is 24.01.2024, the last displayed update is 22.10.2026 (cbr.ru).

State this precisely: it is a regulatory warning-list entry, not a court decision and not a conclusion about all websites with the same name. A foreign licence is not a Russian licence, and the presence of an entry does not replace your own review of the contract. See account types.

Demo vs Real Trading: What to Expect

A demo account uses virtual funds. It is a useful environment for getting to know the terminal, but the conditions of the underlying market, execution and account behaviour may differ from real trading. Therefore, a demo does not confirm future results and does not replace checking contract specifications.

Before real trades, clarify the contract size, commission, swap and margin rules for the specific instrument. About commissions. commissions and swap; about instruments. markets and specifications.
