BASIC RISKS:
Risk of Lower Liquidity: Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and/or sell securities / derivatives contracts expeditiously at a competitive price and with minimal price diference. Generally, it is assumed that more the numbers of orders available in a market, greater is the liquidity. Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity, it is easier for investors to buy and/or sell securities / derivatives contracts swiftly and with minimal price diference, and as a result, investors are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for securities / derivatives contracts purchased or sold. There may be a risk of lower liquidity in some securities / derivatives contracts as compared to active securities / derivatives contracts. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or may be executed with relatively greater price diference or may not be executed at all.
Risk-reducing orders: The placing of orders (e.g. ”stop loss” orders, or “limit” orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be efective many a time because rapid movement in market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
System Risk: High volume trading will frequently occur at the market opening and before market close. Such high volumes may also occur at any point in the day. These may cause delays in order execution or confirmation.
As far as Derivatives segments are concerned, please note and get yourself acquainted with the following additional features:
Efect of Leverage & Gearing In the derivatives market, the amount of margin is small relative to the value of the derivatives contract so the transactions are Derivatives trading, which is conducted with a relatively small amount of margin, provides the possibility of great profit or loss in comparison with the margin amount. But transactions in derivatives carry a high degree of risk.
You should therefore completely understand the following statements before actually trading in derivatives and also trade with caution while taking into account ones circumstances, financial resources, etc. If the prices move against you, you may lose a part of or whole margin amount in a relatively short period of time. Moreover, the loss may exceed the original margin amount.
Currency specific risks: The profit or loss in transactions in foreign currency-denominated contracts, whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction, will be afected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.
