| IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE YOU TRADE
Trading leveraged products such as Contracts for Difference (CFDs) carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You can lose all of your invested capital. You should not trade with money you cannot afford to lose. If you do not fully understand the risks, do not trade. Past performance is not indicative of future results. |
-
Scope and Regulatory Framework
- This Risk Disclosure Statement (the “Statement”) sets out the principal risks associated with the financial instruments and services offered by Trade Set Go (the “Firm”). It does not, and cannot, disclose every risk or aspect of the instruments and services we offer. You should ensure that any decision to enter into a transaction is made on an informed basis, having understood the risks involved.
- The Firm is licensed and supervised by the Financial Services Authority of the Republic of Seychelles (the “FSA”) as a Securities Dealer with the license number SD249 under the Securities Act 2007 as amended by the Securities (Amendment) Act. The Firm is also subject to the Securities (Conduct of Business) Regulations 2008, as amended, the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act 2020, the FSA Code of Corporate Governance effective 1 January 2026, and applicable FSA Circulars including FSA Circular No. 3 of 2025 relating to crypto-asset CFDs.
-
Market, Leverage and Liquidity Risk
- Leverage. The financial instruments offered by the Firm are traded on a leveraged basis. Leverage means that a small movement in the market price of the underlying instrument can result in a proportionately much larger movement in the value of your position, in your favour or against you. Adverse market movements may rapidly exhaust your account equity. You may be required to deposit additional funds at short notice to maintain your positions and, if you fail to do so, your positions may be closed at a loss.
- Market volatility. Prices in financial markets can move rapidly and unpredictably as a result of news, economic data, geopolitical events, market sentiment, and other factors. During periods of high volatility, the price at which your order is executed may be materially different from the price you requested (“slippage”).
- Liquidity and gapping. In thin or disorderly markets, or where trading is suspended, it may be impossible to close a position at all or at an acceptable price. Prices may “gap” between sessions or over weekends and holidays, with the result that your stop-loss order may be executed at a price materially worse than the level you specified.
- Counterparty risk. Where the Firm acts as principal to your transaction, your transactions are with the Firm and not on a regulated exchange. You are exposed to the Firm’s solvency. Where the Firm hedges its exposure with third parties (liquidity providers and prime brokers), you may also be indirectly exposed to those third parties.
-
Product-Specific Risks
- Contracts for Difference (CFDs). CFDs are over-the-counter derivative contracts. You do not own, and have no rights in, the underlying asset. Profits and losses are settled in cash. Positions held overnight are subject to financing charges (swaps), which may be debited or credited daily and can be material over time. The bid-ask spread may widen materially in adverse conditions, increasing the cost of entering or closing positions.
- Crypto-asset CFDs. Pursuant to FSA Circular No. 3 of 2025, CFDs referencing crypto-assets are permitted under the Firm’s licence. Crypto-asset markets are exceptionally volatile, operate continuously, and are subject to specific risks including extreme price movements, market manipulation, infrastructure failure of the underlying crypto-asset network, regulatory action affecting the underlying asset, and material gapping. The Firm assesses the suitability of crypto-asset CFDs for each retail client before they are made available. You should not trade crypto-asset CFDs unless you fully understand these heightened risks.
- Other complex products. Where the Firm offers exchange-traded derivatives, exotic instruments, or instruments with non-linear payoff profiles, additional risks may apply. The Firm will provide specific risk disclosures for such products where required.
-
Execution, Technology and Operational Risk
- Trading platform. Trading is conducted electronically. The Firm is not liable for losses arising from internet outages, platform unavailability, hardware or software failure on your side, delays in transmission, or third-party infrastructure failure outside the Firm’s control. You should ensure you have a stable internet connection and a contingency arrangement for placing or managing orders.
- Margin call and stop-out. If your account equity falls below the margin required to maintain your open positions, your positions may be closed automatically by the platform without prior notice. The Firm operates margin call and stop-out levels which are disclosed in your Client Agreement and visible in the trading platform. Closure under the stop-out mechanism may occur at the prevailing market price, which may be materially different from the price you anticipated.
- Order types and limits. Stop-loss and limit orders are not guaranteed to be executed at the price you specify, particularly in volatile or illiquid markets and where market gaps occur. The Firm executes orders on a reasonable-endeavours basis.
-
Scope and Limits of Regulatory Protection
- Client money. Client funds are held in segregated accounts with banks selected by the Firm, separately from the Firm’s own funds, in accordance with the Securities Act 2007 and the Securities Conduct of Business Regulations 2008, as amended from time to time. Segregation does not eliminate the risk that, in the event of the insolvency of a bank holding segregated funds or in the event of fraud, client funds may not be recovered in full.
- No statutory investor compensation scheme. Seychelles does not operate a statutory investor compensation scheme equivalent to the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the European Union’s Investor Compensation Fund. In the event of the Firm’s insolvency, you may not recover all or any of your funds. You should take this into account when deciding whether to trade with the Firm.
- Negative balance protection. Seychelles FSA rules do not mandate negative balance protection for retail clients. The Firm’s policy on negative balance protection is set out in the Client Agreement. Where negative balance protection is not provided, you may, in extreme market conditions, lose more than the funds deposited in your trading account and become liable to the Firm for the resulting deficit.
- Cross-border services. The Firm provides its services under its Seychelles FSA licence. The Firm is not authorised in, and does not target, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, or any other jurisdiction included from time to time in the Firm’s Restricted Jurisdictions List. The protections available to you under your local regulator’s rules (if any) may not apply to your relationship with the Firm. If you are unsure whether the Firm’s services are appropriate for you in your jurisdiction, you should seek local legal advice.
-
Suitability and Appropriateness
- By opening a live trading account with the Firm, you confirm and acknowledge that you have the necessary knowledge and experience to understand the nature and risks of trading CFDs, including leveraged products, and that your financial circumstances permit you to trade CFDs and to bear the associated risks, including the risk of losing your invested capital.
-
Costs and Promotions
- Costs. Trading costs include spreads, commissions (where applicable), overnight financing charges, currency conversion charges, and inactivity fees. The schedule of costs is set out in the Firm’s published fee tables and may be updated from time to time. Costs reduce the net profit, or increase the net loss, on your trading.
- Promotional credit and bonuses. Where the Firm offers promotional credit, bonuses, or similar facilities, the terms of those facilities are set out in separate terms and conditions. Promotional credit increases your trading position size and therefore your potential losses. Promotional facilities are subject to automatic removal in defined circumstances, which may cause adverse consequences for your account, including margin calls and stop-outs. The Firm is not liable for losses resulting from the automatic removal of promotional credit in accordance with the relevant terms.
-
Tax, AML and Data Protection
- Tax. You are solely responsible for any taxes, levies, or charges that may arise in your jurisdiction in connection with your trading with the Firm. The Firm does not provide tax advice.
- AML and CDD. The Firm is required to perform customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act 2020. The Firm may request additional information or documentation from you at any time, may delay or refuse to process transactions pending the receipt of such information, and may report suspicious activity to the Financial Intelligence Unit of Seychelles as required by law.
- Data protection. The Firm processes your personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2023 of Seychelles and the Firm’s Privacy Notice.
