    Notes:

    1. The initial cash margin requirement is calculated on the basis of market value of the contract amount or its equivalent in other currencies, subject to any adjustment by the Bank at its sole and absolute discretion.
    2. Trading hours will be announced separately during the closure of Hong Kong or other major financial markets.
    3. There are other trading pairs available for your choice, please refer to the “Instruction – Precious Metal/ FX Margin” for details. The trading pairs are subject to revision by the Bank from time to time without prior notice.

    The following risk disclosure statements cannot disclose all the risks involved. Prior to trading or investment, you should collect and study the information required for your investment. You should carefully consider whether trading or investment is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. You should seek independent financial and professional advice before trading or investment. If you are uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of the following risk disclosure statements or the nature of and risks involved in trading or investment, you should seek independent advice.

    Risk Disclosure in respect of Precious Metal/ FX Margin Trading
    The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange trading and precious metals trading can be substantial. You may sustain losses in excess of your initial cash margin. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional cash margin. If the required cash margin or interest payments are not provided within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. A demand for additional cash margin is not a precondition to, and does not in any way limit, our right to liquidate your open positions according to the relevant terms and conditions. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
