Risk & regulation notes

Leveraged trading is high-risk. Some Deriv products (digital options, accumulators, synthetic indices) are structured as high-risk, fixed-time-like products and can lose money quickly; most clients are served by offshore entities (Labuan/Vanuatu/BVI). Understand each product before trading.
