Risk Warning
CFDs and forex trading involves significant risk of loss. 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 trade 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.

Client Protection
As an FCA-authorised firm, Trade Nation Financial UK Ltd is subject to client protection requirements that apply to regulated financial services firms in the United Kingdom. These protections include:
Negative Balance Protection. Retail clients are protected against negative balance on their trading accounts. This means that retail clients cannot lose more than the funds deposited in their account.
Segregated Client Funds. Client money held by Trade Nation Financial UK Ltd is required to be held separately from the firm's own money in segregated client bank accounts. This protects client funds in the event of firm insolvency.
Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Eligible clients of Trade Nation Financial UK Ltd may be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the event that the firm is unable to meet its financial obligations. The FSCS is the UK's statutory deposit and investment compensation scheme. Eligibility depends on individual circumstances. More information is available at fscs.org.uk.
These protections apply to regulated activities carried out by Trade Nation Financial UK Ltd. They do not apply directly to use of the Sterlavion educational platform, which does not involve regulated financial services activities.
