ProRealTime offers reception and transmission of orders services on leveraged financial instruments with the broker Interactive Brokers who provides order execution services. Trading on leveraged instruments (Futures, selling options, short selling) exposes you to risk of loss greater than your deposits and is only suitable for experienced clients who have sufficient financial means to bear such risk. CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 60% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs and spread bets with Interactive Brokers. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. No information on this site is investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instrument.
