2. Risk Disclosure and Market Conduct
2.1 Understanding Financial Risk
Trading in financial markets, including Forex, involves substantial risks. The potential for significant gains is accompanied by the risk of substantial losses. You should only trade with funds that you can afford to lose. The volatile nature of financial markets can lead to rapid and unpredictable changes in prices. It is crucial to fully understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary before engaging in trading activities.
2.2 Leverage and Margin Trading
Leverage allows you to control a larger position in the market with a relatively small amount of capital. While this can magnify potential profits, it also increases the potential for significant losses. The use of leverage can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. UnitedPips encourages clients to use leverage cautiously and in alignment with their risk tolerance and trading experience. Be aware that high leverage trading can result in a margin call, where additional funds may be required to maintain your position.
2.3 Stress and Psychological Impact
Trading in the financial markets can be highly stressful and may negatively impact your psychological well-being. Research has shown that trading can be one of the most stressful professions due to the high pressure and rapid decision-making required. If you experience significant stress or if trading adversely affects your health, you should consider whether trading is appropriate for you. Seek professional assistance if needed to manage stress and maintain your mental health.
2.4 Market Dynamics and Price Movements
Financial markets, including the Forex market, are influenced by a myriad of factors such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. Price movements can be unpredictable and may be affected by high volatility during economic announcements or market events. It is essential to stay informed about market conditions and news that may impact your trades. UnitedPips provides market data and information but does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of such information.
2.5 Risk Management Strategies
To mitigate the risks associated with trading, it is advisable to employ risk management strategies such as setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your investment portfolio, and using appropriate leverage. Regularly review and adjust your trading strategy based on market conditions and personal risk tolerance. UnitedPips offers tools and resources to assist with risk management, but the ultimate responsibility for managing risk lies with you.
2.6 Volatility and Liquidity Considerations
Market volatility and liquidity can affect the execution of trades and the prices at which orders are filled. During periods of high volatility or low liquidity, there may be delays in order execution, price slippage, or difficulty in opening or closing positions. It is important to be aware of these factors and consider their impact on your trading strategy.
3. Financial Transactions and Account Operations

You must ensure that all deposited funds are sourced from legitimate and legal means. Funds must not be derived from loans, debts, or contributions from third parties. UnitedPips reserves the right to request documentation to verify the source of funds. Failure to provide satisfactory documentation may result in delays or refusal of withdrawal requests.
3.5 Account Fund Management
Upon receipt of deposited funds, they will be credited to your trading account immediately. You may request to withdraw part or all of your free margin, which is not actively involved in trading.

3.6 Anti-Collusion and Ethical Conduct
Collusion with Introducing Brokers (IBs) or other entities to generate unauthorized commissions or rebates is strictly prohibited.

Unauthorized rebates will be removed, and accounts involved in such activities may be terminated.
3.7 Order Execution and Market Conditions
Orders placed during periods of market closure, low liquidity, or high volatility may be subject to delays or slippage. UnitedPips does not guarantee the execution of orders under these conditions. Orders that cannot be executed due to market conditions will be canceled, and you will be notified accordingly. It is your responsibility to monitor market conditions and adjust your trading strategy as needed.
3.8 Minimum and Maximum Deposit/Withdrawal Limits
