†FX Solutions asks that you consider the risks associated with increasing your leverage. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionally large impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin and you may be required to deposit additional funds to cover a short margin position.

**Financing Charges
Rollover or overnight finance charges will be applied to Spot Metal positions that are held open at 17:00 Eastern Time (US). If the trader is "short" on the position, it will be credited finance of -3%. Similarly, if the trader is "long" on the position, it will be debited a financing charge of +3%.
