Risk-reducing and entry Order strategies. The placing of certain Orders (‘Stop-Loss’ Orders or ‘Stop-Limit’ Orders, ‘Entry Buy’ Orders or ‘Entry Sell’ Orders) which are intended to limit risk, may not be effective because Market conditions may make it impossible to execute these Orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as ‘spread’ and ‘straddle’ positions may be just as risky as taking long or short positions. Clients’ Orders will become Market Orders when the predetermined price level is reached, even if the price is considerably different from the original Order.

Suspension or restriction of trading and pricing relationships: Market conditions (e.g., liquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of certain Markets (e.g., the suspension of trading in any Financial Instrument or underlying Instrument because of price limits or ‘circuit breakers’) may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect Transactions and/or Contracts or liquidate/offset positions. Furthermore, normal pricing relationships between the Underlying Instrument and the Financial Instrument traded may not exist. The absence of a price for an Underlying Instrument may make it difficult to judge ‘fair’ value.
