Forex trading exposes you to risk including, but not limited to, market volatility, volume, congestion, and system or component failures, which may delay account access and/or Forex trade executions. Prices can change quickly and there is no guarantee that the execution price of your order will be at or near the quote displayed at order entry (“slippage”). Account access delays and slippage can occur at any time but are most prevalent during periods of higher volatility, at market open or close, or due to the size and type of order.
