Risk disclosure

Contracts for difference are complex instruments. They are leveraged, they can move against you faster than a cash investment in the same names, and you can lose money rapidly. You do not own the underlying asset.

No commission is charged on positions. That does not mean trading is free. The spread, overnight funding, a guaranteed stop-loss premium if activated, and regional fees are real costs and can turn a small favourable move into a loss.

Past movement in USTEC or any other market is not a reliable guide to future results. Nothing on ustecindex.com is a personal recommendation or an offer of a managed return. We do not promise income, capital protection, or a target.

Gaps, halts, and illiquidity can produce fills far from the last price. A standard stop-loss does not cap that risk. Only a guaranteed stop-loss, where offered and if activated, is designed to close at the price you set — and it has a premium.

Only trade with capital you can afford to lose. If you do not understand margin, point value, and funding, use the academy and do not fund an account yet.
