In addition, if the price of the above products is lower than 5 US dollars, it will be switched to closing positions only with immediate effect.

It is your responsibility to continuously monitor your margin level and trading strategy. We would like to advise caution and please note:

- Widened spread: The order is usually not executed at the original price should there be volatility and reduced liquidity in the market. Widened spread and slippage may occur. Therefore, this may work for you, or against you.

- Margin ratio: Markets may initially experience volatility after weekends and holidays, we advise that you monitor open positions carefully and trade within margin parameters.

- Increased overnight interest: The overnight interest may increase due to markets performances and supply/demand ratio. Therefore, please take extreme caution in trading and ensure that your account holds sufficient funds.

- Stop quotation: Although the probability of occurrence is extremely low, we still want to remind you that the liquidity provider may close the position when the price drops to 0 or close to 0, resulting in the product being unable to quote. If this occurs, CWG may stop trading of the product, and may cancel all trading orders during the price stagnation period.
