Risk disclaimer

Education only. Trading Made Simple provides general educational content about how financial markets work. We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to give investment advice, and nothing we provide (including lessons, quizzes, emails, social media posts, the Practice Academy or the tutor) is financial, investment, tax or legal advice, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument.

Trading involves risk. The value of investments and trading positions can go down as well as up, and you may lose some or all of the money you put in. Leveraged products such as CFDs and spread bets are complex and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly; a large proportion of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

No guarantees. Profits are never guaranteed. Past performance, simulated results and hypothetical examples are not reliable indicators of future results.

Simulated data. The Practice Academy uses randomly generated data and virtual money. It is not connected to any broker or live trading account and cannot execute trades.

The tutor. The tutor is an automated chat assistant, not a person or a financial adviser. It may make mistakes and must not be relied on for decisions about your money.

Get independent advice. If you are unsure whether trading is right for you, seek advice from an independent financial adviser authorised by the FCA. Check any firm on the FCA Register and learn about scams at FCA ScamSmart.
