131 , options and swaps trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. and swaps are leveraged investments, and because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money initially deposited for a futures and a swap position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade.
