CFOS/FX FOREX TRADING - ACCOUNT TYPES

* Leveraged trading can lead to potentially large losses as well as gains. Please read our Risk Disclosures for detailed information.

(1) The "SPOT and VANILLA OPTIONS ACCOUNT" is for both spot and vanilla options trading in the same account (self-directed and full-service accounts available).  You can trade spot and vanilla options for both otc forex and metals all in the same account.  Spot forex spreads and margins are slightly higher for this type of account.

(2) "PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED ACCOUNTS" introduced through CFOS/FX are offered by regulated Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA's).  Each CTA is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a CTA and is a National Futures Association (NFA) Member in good standing.  Unlike hedge funds, CTA's are regulated and are subject to NFA audits to verify regulatory compliance as well as performance data.  Invest from a traditional trading account or from your tax-deferred IRA (Traditional, Roth & SEP). 

**When investing in a CTA managed account, investors should always keep in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.  Further, simply investing with a CTA and/or diversifying a portfolio does not guarantee that the investor will realize any profit.  Over-the-counter foreign exchange trading carries a high risk and is not suitable for all investors.  Only investors capable of sustaining a loss in excess of their initial investment should invest in managed accounts.**
