- Losses can accumulate rapidly, especially with leveraged positions
Leverage Amplifies Risk
- Leverage magnifies both gains and losses
- Small market movements can result in substantial losses
- You may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain positions
- Margin calls can force liquidation of positions at unfavorable prices
Market Volatility

- Prices can gap significantly between trading sessions
- Stop-loss orders may not protect against all losses
- Slippage can occur during periods of high volatility or low liquidity
Proprietary Trading Firm Risks
