Forex Trading Risks
- Foreign currency trading is subject to rate fluctuations, which may provide both opportunities and risks.
- Investors investing in investment and/or treasury products denominated in non-local currency should be aware of the risks of exchange rate fluctuations that may cause a loss of principal when foreign currency is converted back to the investors' home currency.
- Exchange controls may apply from time to time to certain foreign currencies. Placing contingent orders, such as “stop loss” or “stop limit” orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
* The above is only a summary of some of the key risks in investing in the product. Detailed risk disclosures are set out in the documentation relating to the specific product.

Orders
A Market Order allows you to place a buy or sell order at the current market price. Settlement is immediate, and funds will be debited from and credited to your respective accounts immediately.
An Order Watch allows you to place an order in advance, knowing that the trade will only be completed if rates hit the level you desire, within your preferred timeframe (up to 30 calendar days).
Limit Order – To buy below or sell above the current rate. Limit orders attempt to get a better rate than the current one.
Stop-Limit Order – To buy above or sell below the current rate. Such orders are employed to take advantage of upswings and to minimize loss during downswings.
