Investing in assets such as stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, futures, options, and CFDs involves considerable risks. CFDs are especially risky with 74-89% of retail accounts losing money due to high leverage and complexity. Cryptocurrencies and options exhibit extreme volatility, while futures can also lead to significant losses. Even stocks and bonds can depreciate quickly during market downturns, and total loss can ensure if the issuing company fails. Furthermore, the stability of your broker matters; in case of bankruptcy, the presence of an effective investor compensation scheme is crucial for protecting your assets. It's vital to align these investments with your financial goals and if needed, consult with financial professionals to navigate complex financial markets.

What are pips in forex?
A pip in forex means the smallest price change a currency pair can make, except for fractions of a pip or 'pipettes'.
For most currency pairs 1 pip is 0.0001; for currency pairs with the Japanese Yen, such as USD/JPY, 1 pip is 0.01. When trading metals, 1 pip for Gold and Silver is 0.01.
When the EUR/USD moves up from 1.0925 to 1.0926, the change is 1 pip. With 5-digit pricing, if the EUR/USD moves up from 1.09255 to 1.09260, the move would be half a pip.
