2 Wealth warning Trading derivatives can offer significant returns BUT also subject you to significant losses if the market moves against your position. You may, in a relatively short time, sustain more than a total loss of the funds placed by way of initial margin. You may be required to deposit a substantial additional sum, at short notice, to maintain your margin balance. If you do not maintain your margin balance your position may be closed out at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.
