Responsible Trading — UAE Retail CFD Reality Check
CFDs are not a salary side-hustle with guaranteed upside. FxPro discloses 75%+ retail loss rate. Set loss limits, use stop-loss, never borrow to fund Wallet, take breaks after drawdowns.
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Money you can lose
Only fund with surplus savings — dirham peg does not protect you from leveraged USD losses.

Help
If trading feels compulsive, seek professional support — UAE has mental health services; this is not weakness.
