Why do I receive price volatility alerts?

Investing in volatile instruments can carry greater risk. Our volatility alerts serve as a proactive measure to inform and educate our clients, helping them make an informed decision.

What is a volatile instrument?

 
We base the definition on the 90-day volatility data we received from leading market data vendors. We have a predefined volatility threshold, based on historical data analysis and market trends, that triggers the alert.
Whilst 90-day volatility is a commonly used metric to measure the degree of variation of an instrument's price and, therefore, its potential riskiness, it is calculated using data points over the past 90 days and does not guarantee future price movements will be as equally volatile.

How do I know if an instrument is volatile?

How do I benefit from the volatility alerts?

 

They notify you when you are about to invest in a volatile instrument. This does not mean that you should avoid investing in such instruments, but rather that you should make sure that they are aligned with your investment strategy and risk tolerance.

Do the alerts affect my investing process?

 

No. The alert is designed to inform you of the potential risks and give you time to reconsider your decision. You can choose to proceed with the investments or go back and revise your investment strategy.

Can I disable the alerts? 

 

No. You can't disable them completely, but you can postpone them for 90 days by pressing "Don't show for 90 days".
