Risk Disclosure

IMPORTANT: Please read this Risk Disclosure carefully before using our platform or engaging in any trading activities. This disclosure is required under UK financial services regulations.

FCA Regulatory Statement

Missed A Million is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We do not provide regulated investment advice, portfolio management, or any other regulated financial services.

All content is provided for general educational purposes only. If you require investment advice or portfolio management services, you must consult an FCA-authorised financial advisor. You can check if a firm is authorised on the FCA Register at www.fca.org.uk/register.

Warning: Trading complex financial instruments carries significant risk. You should not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

Trading Involves Substantial Risk

Trading stocks, options, futures, foreign exchange (forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), cryptocurrencies, and other financial instruments involves substantial risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your invested capital.

The highly leveraged nature of many trading instruments means that small market movements can result in significant losses exceeding your initial investment.

Only trade with capital that you can afford to lose. Never trade with money needed for essential expenses such as housing, food, healthcare, or money borrowed through loans or credit.

Not Financial Advice

All content provided through Missed A Million, including videos, articles, trade analysis, and community discussions, is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this platform constitutes:

  • • Financial advice or regulated investment advice
  • • Personal recommendations to buy or sell financial instruments
  • • Solicitation to enter into transactions
  • • An offer to provide regulated financial services

You are solely responsible for your own trading and investment decisions. Always conduct thorough research and consult with FCA-authorised financial advisors before making any investment decisions.

No Guarantees of Profit

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Any examples, case studies, or historical results presented are for educational purposes only and do not represent typical results. Individual results vary significantly based on numerous factors including market conditions, skill level, risk management, and capital allocation.

There are no guarantees of profit, and any claims suggesting consistent or guaranteed returns should be viewed with extreme skepticism.

Market Volatility

Financial markets are inherently volatile and unpredictable. Market conditions can change rapidly due to economic data, geopolitical events, natural disasters, pandemics, and countless other factors. Even well-researched trades can result in losses due to unexpected market movements.

Leverage Risks

Many trading instruments and accounts offer leverage, allowing you to control positions larger than your account balance. While leverage can amplify profits, it equally amplifies losses. You can lose more than your initial investment when using leveraged instruments.

Use leverage cautiously and ensure you fully understand the risks before trading on margin or using leveraged products.

Emotional and Psychological Factors

Trading can be emotionally and psychologically demanding. Fear, greed, stress, and other emotions can negatively impact decision-making. Many traders experience significant psychological challenges, including anxiety and financial stress.

Be aware of your emotional state and consider whether trading is suitable for your temperament and risk tolerance.

Technology and Execution Risks

Trading involves technological systems that can experience failures, delays, or malfunctions. Internet connectivity issues, platform outages, and execution delays can result in missed opportunities or unexpected losses. You bear the risk of any technology-related issues.

UK Regulatory Considerations

Trading and investment activities in the UK are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and related regulations.

Key Regulatory Points:

  • • Only use FCA-authorised brokers and investment firms for trading
  • • Be aware of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protection limits
  • • Understand your tax obligations, including Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax on trading profits
  • • CFDs and certain leveraged products are subject to specific FCA restrictions
  • • Cryptocurrency investments are high-risk and not protected by FSCS

You are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable UK laws, regulations, and tax requirements. Consider seeking advice from qualified tax professionals and legal advisors.

Warning about unauthorised firms: Be cautious of unauthorised firms and potential scams. Always check the FCA Register before investing. If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you will not be covered by the FSCS if things go wrong.

No Professional Relationship

Missed A Million is not an FCA-authorised investment firm, registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or financial planner. We do not:

  • • Manage client funds or hold client money
  • • Execute trades on behalf of others
  • • Provide personalised financial advice or recommendations
  • • Offer regulated investment services

The platform provides general educational content only. No professional advisory relationship is created by using this platform.

Educational Purpose

This platform exists to educate users about trading concepts, market analysis, and risk management. Education does not guarantee success. Even with extensive education and experience, trading remains risky and unpredictable.

Consumer Protection and Complaints

If you have concerns about our services, please contact us through the support page. For issues related to your trading accounts or investments with brokers, you should contact the relevant FCA-authorised firm directly.

For general complaints about financial services or to report unauthorised activity, you can contact the FCA Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768 or visit www.fca.org.uk.
