Risk Disclosure Statement:

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Before engaging in the products offered by Arab Financial Brokers K.S.C.C. (AFB), you should be
Aware of the risks which may be involved in such trading. You should not enter into a transaction unless you fully understand:
• The nature and fundamentals of the transaction and the market underlying such transactions
• The extent of the economic risk to which you are exposed as a result of such transactions (and 
Determine that such risk is suitable for you in light of your specific experience in relation to 
The transaction and your financial objectives, circumstances and resources)
• The legal terms and conditions for such transactions
You have the responsibility to fully understand the terms and conditions of the transactions to       
Be undertaken, including, without limitation:
1. The terms as to price, term, and expiration date, restrictions on exercising an OTC option and 
Futures and of the terms material to the transaction;
2. Any terms describing risk factors, such as volatility, liquidity, and so on; and
3. The circumstances under which you may become obliged to make or take delivery of a    Leveraged foreign exchange transaction or Futures contracts.
The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in trading of the products offered by Arab Financial Brokers K.S.C.C. can work against you as well as for you, due to fluctuating market conditions. Trading in such instruments can lead to large losses as well as gains in response to a small market movement. If the market moves against you, you may not only sustain a total loss of your initial margin deposit, and any additional funds deposited with Arab Financial Brokers K.S.C.C. to maintain your position, but you may also incur further liability to Arab Financial Brokers K.S.C.C. You may be called upon to “top-up” your margin by substantial amounts at short notice to maintain your position, failing which Arab Financial Brokers K.S.C.C. may have to liquidate your position at a loss and you would be liable for any resulting loss.
You may sustain substantial losses on a contract or trade if the market conditions move against your position. It is in your interest to fully understand the impact of market movements, in particular the extent of profit/loss you would be exposed to when there is an upward or down ward movement in the relevant rates and the extent of loss if you have to liquidate a position, if market conditions move against you.
Under certain market conditions you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position, to assess a fair price or assess risk exposure. This can happen, for example, where the market for a transaction is illiquid or where there is a failure in electronic or telecommunications systems, or where there is the occurrence of an event commonly known as “force majeure”. Placing contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” orders, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, as it may be impossible to execute such orders under certain market conditions. When placing a stop order or stop loss order, you must be aware that in certain market conditions you may be filled at a different price than initially requested.
Because the prices and characteristics of over-the-counter transactions are individually negotiated and there is no central source for obtaining prices, there are inefficiencies in transaction pricing. We consequently cannot and do not warrant that our prices or the prices we secure for you are or will at any time be the best prices available to you.
Transactions in futures and options involve a high degree of risk and are not suitable for many members of the public. Such transactions should be entered into only by persons who have read, understood and familiarized themselves with the type of futures and options, style of exercise, the nature and extent of rights and obligations and the associated risks.
The objective of this statement is to explain to you, briefly, the nature of trading in the products offered by Arab Financial Brokers K.S.C.C., prior to your engaging in such transactions. In particular, you must be aware that the risk of loss in trading foreign exchange and precious metals and Futures (OTC) can be substantial. However, this statement does not purport to disclose or discuss all of the risks and other significant aspects of any transaction. You should therefore consult with your own legal, tax and financial advisers prior to entering in to any particular transaction. 
By checking the box below this Risk Disclosure Statement, you understand that no one can guarantee trading profits and past results do not assure future profitability, and you acknowledge and confirm that you have fully read and understood the Risk Disclosure Statement and that you are treated as experienced and/or professional Customer.

I have read and understood the Risk Disclosure Statement as set out above.

If such instructions or such funds and/or documents, with regard to option transactions, are not received by AFB prior to the expiration of the option, AFB may permit an option to expire. Customer also understands that certain exchanges and clearing houses automatically exercise some “in-the -money” options unless instructed otherwise. Customer acknowledges full responsibility for taking action either to exercise or to prevent exercise of an option contract, as the case maybe; AFB is not required to take any action with respect to an option, including without limitation any action to exercise a valuable option contract prior to its expiration or to prevent the automatic exercise of an option, except upon Customer’s express instructions.

No agreement or understanding of any kind shall be binding upon AFB unless it is agreed to in writing, accepted and signed by an authorized officer.

21.  FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS

We may, in our reasonable opinion, determine that an emergency or an exceptional market condition exists (a “Force Majeure Event”). A Force Majeure Event shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

26.  ASSIGNMENT

AFB may assign Customer’s account to another registered futures commission merchant by notifying Customer of the date and name of the intended assignee ten (10) days prior to the assignment.

27. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND SIGNATURE.

Customer hereby understands the Customer Account Agreement and consents and agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the agreement set forth above.
