Market and leverage risk
Exchange rates can move quickly after policy decisions, economic data or unexpected events. Leveraged products amplify the effect of those moves on the capital supporting a position.
Losses can therefore build much faster than a simple change in the exchange rate might suggest.
Liquidity and execution risk
The price requested and the price actually obtained can differ, especially when markets move quickly or liquidity is thin. Spreads can also widen during stressed conditions.
Order handling and execution policies are therefore part of product risk, not merely technical details.
Provider and fraud risk
Customers also depend on the broker or platform holding their account. Weak regulation, unclear legal entities, misleading promotions and withdrawal problems are separate risks from the currency market itself.
Guaranteed-return claims, pressure to deposit and unverifiable licences are warning signs rather than evidence of a good opportunity.
