What are options?
Options are products that allow for payouts from predicting market movements, without needing to buy the underlying asset. You only need to open a position that predicts how the asset will move over a period of time. This makes it possible for people to participate in the financial markets with minimal capital investment.

The financial Transactions outlined in this Agreement are in the form of trade executions and involve the use of leverage. These Transactions should therefore be considered as high-risk financial activities and the potential for losses are extremely high. You must consider whether these activities suit your requirements, taking into account your personal circumstances and financial situation. In evaluating your own suitability to engage in such activities, you must also consider that there is a high-risk of loss in a short period of time. You are advised to only use financial resources that you have designated for high-risk financial speculation. The cautions detailed here are not an exhaustive list of all the possible risks associated with high-risk financial speculation. These risks need to be individually researched and evaluated before engaging in such activities.
All activities associated with financial speculation, including trading and options, are extremely high risk and wholly speculative. They involve very high-risk levels of financial leverage and have the potential for large losses over a short period of time. Through this Agreement, it is absolutely understood by the client and stated herein that small fluctuations in price can result in both high levels of profits and losses in a short period of time, and can result in the total loss of the entire security. The client understands that it is not possible to guarantee a profitable Transaction in financial markets.
By registering to the Website, opening an account and carrying out Transactions, you hereby acknowledge the following:
a) You agree that Transactions offered by the System should be considered as special financial Transactions and therefore carry a large degree of risk;
b) You agree that you are fully informed and have the requisite knowledge about options, including options and all of the risks involved in the execution of Transactions in options and specifically in options;
c) The responsibility and discretion in undertaking such Transactions will include the agreement that you have the financial capabilities to carry out such Transactions and that you willingly undertake the risks involved;
d) You fully understand that the prices quoted on the Website are referred to as the strike price or option price, that this is the price at which MetaFX is willing to sell its options and that these prices may not reflect the market price of the underlying asset;
e) In purchasing options you are fully aware that you will expose yourself to risk and the potential to lose a large amount or even all of your invested collateral. This can include the total loss of a securities value;
f) You agree to read thoroughly all of these Terms and Conditions prior to executing any Transactions and have a full awareness of the risk and reward inherent in options trading;
g) You are aware that unsuccessful speculation will result in losses; and
h) You are aware of the possibility that the expiry time on a financial contract can be as short as several minutes.
The System is designed for highly knowledgeable and experienced users who understand the risks and have thoroughly read and understood these Terms and Conditions.
Users will have the capacity to sustain rapid losses up to the total loss of the invested money and/or the securities. You agree it is your personal responsibility to decide if such Transactions are suitable for your circumstances and requirements. This involves a careful analysis of your personal financial resources and understanding of the implications of carrying out financial Transactions. It is highly recommended that you seek legal and tax advice before engaging in financial speculation.
