Each strategy undergoes a minimum one-year live
monitoring period, during which performance, risk behavior, and
execution consistency are closely evaluated before selection.
Following monitoring, we allocate our own capital
for an additional year to validate real-world performance, risk
discipline, and capital behavior under live market conditions.
While past performance is not indicative of
future results and trading involves full capital risk including the
possibility of total loss we exclude strategies with historical
drawdowns exceeding 40% to enforce disciplined risk management.
After this evaluation period, each strategy is
either approved r declined for public offering; historically, over
95% of tested strategies have been rejected, which is why we
currently offer only two that fully passed our selection process.

14. INFORMATION ON RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS OVER THE COUNTER
(OTC)
14.1. INTRODUCTION
Trading CFDs can put Client's capital at risk as CFDs are categorized as high risk complex
Financial Instruments and Clients may lose the amount invested. Trading CFDs may not be
suitable for all investors (refer to section 13).
The investment decisions made by the Clients are subject to various markets, currency,
economic, political, business risks etc., and will not necessarily be profitable.
The Client acknowledges and without any reservation accepts that, notwithstanding any
general information which may have been given by the Company, the value of any investment in
Financial Instruments may fluctuate either upwards or downwards. The Client acknowledges and
without any reservation accepts the existence of a substantial risk of incurring losses and
damages as a result of buying or selling any Financial Instrument and acknowledges his
willingness to take such risk.
Set out below is an outline of the major risks and other significant aspects of CFDs
trading:
i. Trading in CFD is VERY SPECULATIVE AND HIGHLY RISKY and is not suitable for all members
of the general public but only for those investors who:
a) understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks involved.
b) taking into account their personal financial circumstances, financial resources, life
style and obligations are financially able to assume the loss of their entire investment.
c) have the knowledge to understand CFDs trading and the Underlying assets and Markets.
ii. The Company will not provide the Client with any advice relating to CFDs the Underlying
Assets and Markets or make investment recommendations including occasions where the Client
shall request such advice and/or recommendation. However the Company may provide the Client
with information and tools produced by third parties on an "as is" basis (i.e. the Company
does not approve, or endorse, or affect the said information and or tools), which may be
indicative of trading trends or trading opportunities. The Client accepts and understands
that taking any actions based on the information and/or tools provided by third parties may
result in losses and or general reduction of value of the Client's assets. The Company does
not accept liability for any such losses resulting from actions taken by the Client on the
basis of information and or tools produced by third parties.
iii. CFDs are derivative financial instruments deriving their value from the prices of the
underlying assets/markets in which they refer to (for example currency, equity indices,
stocks, metals, indices futures, forwards etc.). It is important therefore that the Client
understands the risks associated with trading in the relevant underlying asset/ market
because fluctuations in the price of the underlying asset/ market will affect the
profitability of his trade. For more information regarding the Company's pricing policy,
please refer to the Company's Best Interest and Order Execution Policy found at www.K2M
Pro.com
iv. Information of the previous performance of CFDs the Underlying Assets and Markets does
not guarantee its current and/or future performance. The use of historical data does not
constitute a binding or safe forecast as to the corresponding future performance of the CFDs
to which the said information refers.
v. Volatility:
Some Financial Instruments trade within wide intraday ranges with volatile price movements.
Therefore, the Client must carefully consider that there is a high risk of losses. The price
of a Financial Instrument is derived from the price of the Underlying Asset in which the
Financial Instruments refers to. Financial Instruments and related Underlying Markets can be
highly volatile. The prices of Financial Instruments and the Underlying Asset may fluctuate
rapidly and over wide ranges and may reflect unforeseeable events or changes in conditions,
none of which can be controlled by the Client or the Company. Under certain market
conditions it may be impossible for a Client Order to be executed at declared prices leading
to losses. The prices of Financial Instruments and the Underlying Assets will be influenced
by, among other things, changing supply and demand relationships, governmental,
agricultural, commercial and trade programs and policies, national and international
political and economic events and the prevailing psychological characteristics of the
relevant market place.
vi. Liquidity:
Liquidity risk refers to the capacity to readily monetize assets without suffering a
significant discount in their prices. The Client accepts and acknowledges that the
Underlying Instruments on some Derivative Products on offer by the Company may be inherently
illiquid or sometimes face persistent liquidity strains due to adverse market conditions.
Illiquid Underlying Assets may exhibit high levels of volatility in their prices and
consequently a higher degree of risk, this typically leads to larger gaps in ASK and BID
prices for an Underlying Instrument than would otherwise prevail under liquid market
conditions. These large gaps may be reflected on the prices of the Derivative Product the
Company offers.
vii. Off-exchange transactions in Derivative Financial Instruments:
CFDs offered by the Company are off-exchange transactions (i.e. over-the- counter). The
trading conditions are set by us (in line with the trading conditions received by our
liquidity providers), subject to any obligations we have to provide best execution, to act
reasonably and in accordance with our Client Agreement and with our Best Interest and Order
Execution Policy. Each CFD trade that the Client opens through our Trading Platform results
in the entering of an Order with the Company; such Orders can only be closed with the
Company and are not transferable to any other person.
While some off-exchange markets are highly liquid, transactions in off-exchange or non-
transferable derivatives may involve greater risk than investing in on- exchange derivatives
because there is no exchange market on which to close out an Open Position. It may be
impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value of the position arising
from an off-exchange transaction or to assess the exposure to risk. Prices need not be
quoted, and, even where they are, they will be established by dealers in these instruments
and consequently it may be difficult to establish what a fair price is.
The Company is using an Online Trading System for transactions in CFDs which does not fall
into the definition of a Regulated Market or Multilateral Trading Facility and as such does
not have the same protection.
viii. No Clearing House protection:
The Transactions in the Financial Instruments offered by the Company are not currently
subject to exchange or clearing house requirements/obligations.
ix. No Delivery:
It is understood that the Client has no rights or obligations in respect to the Underlying
Assets/Instruments relating to the CFDs he is trading. There is no delivery of the
Underlying Asset and all CFD contracts are settled in cash. If the Underlying Asset movement
is in the Client's favour, the Client may achieve a profit, but an equally small adverse
market movement cannot only quickly result in the loss of the Client's entire deposit. So,
the Client must not enter into CFDs unless he is willing to undertake the risks of losing
entirely all the money which he has invested and also any additional commissions and other
expenses that may be incurred. Investing in CFDs carries risks and the Client should be
aware of these risks. Transactions in CFDs may also have a contingent liability and the
Client should be aware of the implications of this as set in point xiv below.
x. Suspensions of Trading:
Under certain trading conditions it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position.
This may occur, for example, at times of rapid price movement if the price rises or falls in
one trading session to such an extent that under the rules of the relevant exchange trading
is suspended or restricted. Placing a Stop Loss will not necessarily limit the Client's
losses to the intended amounts, because market conditions may make it impossible to execute
such an Order at the stipulated price. In addition, under certain market conditions the
execution of a Stop Loss Order may be worse than its stipulated price and the realized
losses can be larger than expected.
xi. Slippage:
Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a Transaction in a CFD or, and the
price the Transaction is actually executed at. Slippage often occurs during periods of
higher volatility (for example due to news events) making an Order at a specific price
impossible to execute and also when large Orders are executed when there may not be enough
interest at the desired price level to maintain the expected price of trade
xii. Leverage and Gearing:
In order to place a CFD Order, the Client is required to maintain a margin. Margin is
usually a relatively modest proportion of the overall contract value. This means that the
Client will be trading using "leverage" or "gearing (the "multiplier feature"). This means a
relatively small market movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the
value of the Client's position, and this can work either against the Client or for the
Client.
At all times during which the Client opens trades, they must maintain enough equity,
consider all running profits and losses, for meeting the margin requirements. If the market
moves against the Client's position and/or Margin requirements are increased, may result in
closure of the Client's position(s) by the Company on his behalf and he will be liable for
any resulting loss or deficit.
It is important that you monitor your positions closely because the effect of leverage and
gearing (the "multiplier feature") speed the occurrence of profits or losses. It is your
responsibility to monitor your trades and while you have open trades you should always be in
a position to do so.
xiii. Margin:
The Client acknowledges and accepts that, regardless of any information which may be offered
by the Company, the value of CFDs may fluctuate downwards or upwards and it is even probable
that the investment may become of no value. This is owed to the margining system applicable
to such trades, which generally involves a comparatively modest deposit or margin in terms
of the overall contract value, so that a relatively small movement in the Underlying Market
can have a disproportionately dramatic effect on the Client's trade. If the Underlying
Market movement is in the Client's favour, the Client may achieve a good profit, but an
equally small adverse market movement can not only quickly result in the loss of the
Clients' entire deposit but also expose the Client to a large additional loss.
The Company may change its Margin requirements, according to the provisions of the Client
Agreement found on the Company's website at www.K2M Pro.com
xiv. Contingent Liability Investment Transactions:
Contingent liabilities are potential obligations that may be assumed by the Client depending
on the outcome of an event that was beyond any person's control and/or expectations. The
Company offers negative balance protection on an account basis and at no point will the
maximum loss for the Client exceed the Client's available funds in the specific account.
xv. Risk-reducing Orders or Strategies:
The Company makes available certain Orders (e.g. "stop-loss" orders, where permitted under
local law, or "stop-limit" Orders), which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts.
Such Orders may not be adequate given that markets conditions make it impossible to execute
such Orders, e.g. due to illiquidity in the market. We aim to deal with such Orders fairly
and promptly but the time taken to fill the Order and level at which the Order is filled
depends upon the underlying market. In fast-moving markets a price for the level of your
Order might not be available, or the market might move quickly and significantly away from
the stop level before we fill it.
Strategies using combinations of positions, such as "spread" and "straddle"' positions may
be as risky as taking simple "long" or "short" positions. Therefore Stop Limit and Stop Loss
Orders cannot guarantee the limit of loss.
15. Advice and Recommendations
15.1. When placing Orders with the Company, the Company will not advise the Client about the
merits of a particular Transaction or give him any form of investment advice and the Client
acknowledges that the Services do not include the provision of investment advice in CFDs or
the Underlying Markets. The Client alone will enter into Transactions and take relevant
decisions based on his own judgement. In asking the Company to enter into any Transaction,
the Client represents that he has been solely responsible for making his own independent
appraisal and investigation into the risks of the Transaction. He represents that he has
sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice and experience to make his
own evaluation of the merits and risks of any Transaction. The Company gives no warranty as
to the suitability of the products traded under this Agreement and assumes no fiduciary duty
in its relations with the Client.
15.2. The Company will not be under any duty to provide the Client with any legal, tax or
other advice relating to any Transaction. The Client should seek independent expert advice
if he is in any doubt as to whether he may incur any tax liabilities. The Client is hereby
warned that tax laws are subject to change from time to time.
15.3. The Company may, from time to time and at its discretion, provide the Client (or in
newsletters which it may post on its Website or provide to subscribers via its Website or
the Trading Platform or otherwise) with information, recommendations, news, market
commentary or other information but not as a service.
Where it does so:
a) the Company will not be responsible for such information;
b) the Company gives no representation, warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy,
correctness or completeness of such information or as to the tax or legal consequences of
any related Transaction;
c) this information is provided solely to enable the Client to make his own investment
decisions and does not amount to investment advice or unsolicited financial promotions to
the Client;
d) if the document contains a restriction on the person or category of persons for whom that
document is intended or to whom it is distributed, the Client agrees that he will not pass
it on to any such person or category of persons;
e) the Client accepts that prior to despatch, the Company may have acted upon it itself to
make use of the information on which it is based. The Company does not make representations
as to the time of receipt by the Client and cannot guarantee that he will receive such
information at the same time as other clients.
15.4. It is understood that market commentary, news, or other information provided or made
available by the Company are subject to change and may be withdrawn at any time without
notice.
16. No Guarantees of Profit
The Company provides no guarantees of profit nor of avoiding losses when trading in
Financial Instruments. The Company cannot guarantee the future performance of the Client's
Trading Account, promise any specific level of performance or promise that Client's
investment decisions, strategies, will be successful/profitable. Customer has received no
such guarantees from the Company or from any of its representatives. Customer is aware of
the risks inherent in trading in Financial Instruments and is financially able to bear such
risks and withstand any losses incurred. The Client acknowledges and accepts that there may
be other additional risks apart from those mentioned above.
17. Regulatory and Legal Risk
A change in laws and regulations may materially impact a Financial Instrument and
investments in a sector or market. A change in laws or regulations made by a government or a
regulatory body or a decision reached by a judicial body can increase business operational
costs, lessen investment attractiveness, change the competitive landscape and as such alter
the profit possibilities of an investment. This risk is unpredictable and may vary from
market to market.

Governing Law and Court Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, without
regard to conflicts of law principles thereof. This is the case regardless of whether you
reside or transact business with K2M Pro anywhere else in the world.
If any part of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that part will
be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining
provisions.
You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in
London, England to settle any dispute, which may arise in relation thereto.
Risk of Loss
It is important that you be fully aware of the following points:
The risk of loss in trading foreign exchange ("Forex"), Commodity futures, options, Contract
for Difference ("CFD") and Spread Betting on margin (collectively, the "Investment
Products") can be substantial.
The high level of leverage effect possible in conducting transactions via the Investment
Products stems from the fact that it is only necessary to pay relatively modest margins or
guarantees in relation to the scope of the contract.
The result of the above is that even a slight fluctuation of the market could mean
substantial gains when these fluctuations are in your favor, but that could also mean
considerable losses if the fluctuations are to your detriment. In fact, You could sustain a
loss of some or all of your initial investment.
Therefore, You should carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light
of your financial condition and You should not trade or invest money that you cannot afford
to lose.
