Risk Disclosure

Provider risk wording last verified: 2026-09-14

1. The provider risk warning

Risk Warning: Trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all traders. The use of leverage magnifies both potential profits and losses, meaning you could incur losses greater than your initial deposit. It is important to understand the risks involved and assess whether you can afford to lose your invested capital. When trading CFDs, you do not own the underlying assets and have no rights to them. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The wording above is reproduced from the PU Prime risk disclosure and is used with attribution. Always check the current wording on the provider's own site before relying on it.

2. What leverage means

A contract for difference (CFD) is a leveraged product: you only put up a fraction of the position size as margin, but your profit or loss is calculated on the full position. That means both gains and losses are magnified relative to your deposit — a small adverse move can lose substantially more than your initial margin and can, in some circumstances, exceed it.

• Leverage multiplies both upside and downside.
• Losses can exceed the margin you deposited.
• Volatile instruments such as gold can move quickly against open positions.
• Stop-loss orders do not always guarantee execution at the requested price, especially in fast markets.

3. What the community is not

Midlands Gold Traders is a community that shares Gold market analysis, commentary and tools. It is not a regulated investment service, does not give personal investment advice, and does not manage anyone's money. No trade idea, analysis, indicator or bot output is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.

• Nothing on this site is investment advice, a personal recommendation, or a solicitation to trade.
• Every trader is responsible for their own decisions and their own risk.
• You should only trade money you can afford to lose, and only after understanding the products.

4. Not investment advice

We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and we are not a financial adviser. If you are unsure whether trading is right for you, seek independent financial advice before you begin.
