RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTThis brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significantaspects of trading f<strong>or</strong>eign exchange contracts. In light of these risks, youshould undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of thecontracts and contractual relationships into which you are entering and theextent of your exposure to risk. Trading in f<strong>or</strong>eign exchange contracts is notsuitable f<strong>or</strong> some customers. You should carefully consider whether trading isappropriate f<strong>or</strong> you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resourcesand other relevant circumstances.1. Effect of "Leverage" <strong>or</strong> "Gearing".F<strong>or</strong>eign exchange contracts carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initialmargin is small relative to the value of the f<strong>or</strong>eign exchange contract so thattransactions are “leveraged” <strong>or</strong> “geared”. A relatively small market movementwill have a prop<strong>or</strong>tionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited <strong>or</strong>will have to deposit. This may w<strong>or</strong>k against you as well as f<strong>or</strong> you. You maysustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds depositedwith the firm to maintain your position. F<strong>or</strong> example, an account with CapitalMarket Services LLC (“<strong>CMS</strong>”) permits you to trade f<strong>or</strong>eign exchangecontracts on a highly leveraged basis (up to approximately 400 times youraccount equity). The funds in an account trading at maximum leverage can becompletely lost if the positions held in the account have a one-half percentadverse swing in market move.2. Risk-reducing <strong>or</strong>ders <strong>or</strong> strategies.Placing contingent <strong>or</strong>ders, such as “stop-loss” <strong>or</strong> “stop-limit” <strong>or</strong>ders, will notnecessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditionson the exchange where the <strong>or</strong>der is placed may make it impossible to executesuch <strong>or</strong>ders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as “spread” and“straddle” positions may be as risky as taking simple “long” <strong>or</strong> “sh<strong>or</strong>t”positions.3. Charges.Bef<strong>or</strong>e you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear understanding of allcharges f<strong>or</strong> which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit(if any) <strong>or</strong> increase your loss.4. Electronic trading.Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading in anopen-outcry market but also from trading on other electronic trading systems.If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will beexposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardwareand software. The result of any system failure may be that your <strong>or</strong>der is eithernot executed acc<strong>or</strong>ding to your instructions <strong>or</strong> not executed at all. Since <strong>CMS</strong>does not control signal power, its reception <strong>or</strong> routing via Internet,configuration of your equipment <strong>or</strong> reliability of its connection, we cannot beresponsible f<strong>or</strong> communication failures, dist<strong>or</strong>tions <strong>or</strong> delays when trading online(via Internet). In no event shall <strong>CMS</strong> be liable f<strong>or</strong> speculative <strong>or</strong>expectancy damages f<strong>or</strong> potential future lost profits.5. Margin.<strong>CMS</strong>’ margin policies require that your account be properly margined at alltimes. In <strong>or</strong>der to do so, it may be necessary to deposit substantial additionalfunds. Failure to meet margin requirements may result in the liquidation ofany open positions with a resultant loss. <strong>CMS</strong> reserves the right to liquidateall positions, without notice <strong>or</strong> margin call, if an account falls below ourminimum equity level.6. Passw<strong>or</strong>d protection.You are obligated to keep passw<strong>or</strong>ds secret and ensure that third parties do notobtain access to the trading facilities. You will be liable to <strong>CMS</strong> f<strong>or</strong> tradesexecuted by means of your passw<strong>or</strong>d even if such use may be wrongful.7. Quoting err<strong>or</strong>s.Should quoting err<strong>or</strong>s occur, which may include, but are not limited to, amistype of a quote by <strong>CMS</strong>, a quote which is not representative of fair marketprices, an erroneous price quote from a <strong>CMS</strong> employee, such as but notlimited to a wrong big figure quote <strong>or</strong> an erroneous quote due to failure ofhardware, software <strong>or</strong> communication lines <strong>or</strong> systems and/<strong>or</strong> inaccurateexternal data feeds provided by third-party vend<strong>or</strong>s, <strong>CMS</strong> will not be liablef<strong>or</strong> the resulting err<strong>or</strong>s in account balances. The f<strong>or</strong>egoing list is not meant tobe exhaustive and in the event of a quoting err<strong>or</strong>, <strong>CMS</strong> reserves the right tomake the necessary c<strong>or</strong>rections <strong>or</strong> adjustments on the account involved. Anydispute arising from such quoting err<strong>or</strong>s will be resolved on a basis of a fairmarket value of a currency at the time such an err<strong>or</strong> occurred. In the event ofa system err<strong>or</strong> where interest is not charged as scheduled, <strong>CMS</strong> reserves theright to apply the missed interest to the account at any time.8. Third-Party Auth<strong>or</strong>ity.In the event that you grant trading auth<strong>or</strong>ity <strong>or</strong> control over your account to athird-party (Trading Agent), whether on a discretionary <strong>or</strong> non-discretionarybasis, <strong>CMS</strong> shall in no way be responsible f<strong>or</strong> reviewing your choice of suchTrading Agent <strong>or</strong> f<strong>or</strong> making any recommendations with respect thereto.<strong>CMS</strong> makes no representations <strong>or</strong> warranties concerning any Trading Agent;<strong>CMS</strong> shall not be responsible f<strong>or</strong> any loss to you occasioned by the actions ofthe Trading Agent; and <strong>CMS</strong> does not, by implication <strong>or</strong> otherwise, end<strong>or</strong>se <strong>or</strong>approve of the operating methods of any Trading Agent.
