Effect Of “Leverage. OR 'GEARING' Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the Futures Contract so that transactions are 'leveraged' or 'geared'. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you . You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.
Effect Of “Leverage or "Gearing": You will enter into a privately negotiated transaction and/or contract with us, as principal, when you enter into foreign currency contracts with us.
