What are the risks of CFD trading?

CFD trading involves significant risks, including the risk of losing your invested capital rapidly due to the use of leverage, which can magnify both potential profits and potential losses. Additionally, market volatility, rapid price movements, and the complexity of CFDs increase the risk of substantial losses. It is important to fully understand these risks and only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
