MORNINGVIEW GROUP Risk Disclosure Statement

Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors.  The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you.  Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite.  The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.  You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts. 

Trading in margined foreign exchange involves a high degree of risk including the risk of loss of the Customer’s entire Risk Capital deposited with MorningView Group. Losses, in some cases, have the potential to extend beyond the Customer’s Account Value. In consideration of MorningView Group agreeing to enter into Foreign Exchange Contracts with its Customer(s) for this Account, MorningView Group requires all the undersigned Customer(s) to analyze their financial objectives, financial status, investment constraints and tax situation to determine whether OTC Foreign Exchange trading is suitable. In addition, we require our Customers to carefully read and acknowledge the MorningView Group Risk Disclosure Statement that outlines without limitation the risks associated with trading margined foreign exchange through MorningView Group. By signing this Agreement the Customer understands and agrees that:

1 OTC Margined Foreign Exchange Trading involves a high amount of risk and is highly speculative. By signing the Risk Disclosure Statement, the Customer(s) agrees that they are in full understanding and willing to assume the legal, economic, and other risks associated with the trading in margined OTC Foreign Exchange, and are willing and able to assume the loss of their entire Risk Capital, defined as those funds, that if lost, would not change your lifestyle or your family's lifestyle. As such, they further agree that margined OTC Foreign Exchange trading is not suitable for Retirement Funds. MorningView Group encourages Customers to closely manage outstanding open positions and to use prudent money management precautions such as, but not limited to, Stop Loss Orders.

2 Excessive leverage available with Margined OTC Foreign Exchange can lead to quick losses.
By signing the Risk Disclosure Statement, the Customer(s) aggress that using a high degree of leverage, defined as the use of a small amount of capital to control a larger amount of an Open Position, can result in large losses due to a price change(s) of open Foreign Currency Contract(s) with MorningView Group. MorningView Group provides leverage on most Currency Pairs for most customers of 100:1. With 100:1 leverage the Customer has the potential to control $1,000,000 position with $10,000 in an Account. MorningView Group encourages its Customers to use only that portion of leverage that the Customer is most comfortable with and to use money management precautions such as, but not limited to, Stop Loss Orders for the purpose of limiting risk. MorningView Group reserves, at its sole discretion, the right to reduce or increase the amount of leverage given on any Currency Pair at any time and without notice.

3 OTC Margined Foreign Exchange trading experience periods of liquidity risk:
By signing the MorningView Group Risk Disclosure Statement, the Customer acknowledges that Liquidity Risk, resulting from decreased liquidity of a currency pair, is usually due to unanticipated changes in economic and/or political conditions. Customer also acknowledges that Liquidity Risk can affect the general market in that all participants experience the same lack of buyers and/or sellers. The Customer also understands that liquidity risk can be MorningView Group specific due to changes in liquidity available to MorningView Group from a MorningView Group Custodian of funds interbank liquidity providers or specific to retail foreign exchange market makers due to a perception that the risks
of the market segment has increased. When liquidity decreases, Customers can expect, at the minimum, to have wider bid to ask spreads as the supply of available bid/ask prices, outstrips the demand. Decreases in liquidity can also result in "Fast Market" conditions where the price of a currency pair moves sharply higher or lower or in a volatile up/down pattern without trading in an ordinary step-like fashion. In some instances, there may exist the possibility that a trading bid and/or ask price for a foreign exchange pair or pairs are not available (a situation where there is no liquidity). Although there may be instances when the aggregate OTC foreign exchange market enters a "Fast Market" situation or periods where liquidity is in short or no supply, it is important to note that, FXGFX Pro's prices, bid/ask spreads and liquidity will reflect the prevailing interbank market liquidity for MorningView Group. MorningView Group can Liquidate Positions of the Customer that do not have adequate margin: Because of the leverage available with OTC Margined Foreign Exchange Trading and the potential for extreme volatility, an MorningView Group Custodian of funds reserves the sole discretionary right to liquidate Customer’s Account(s) should the Margin in the Account not be sufficient to cover the potential risk of loss.
