In the context of the rapid development of the global Contract for Difference (CFD) market, the role of the platform is no longer limited to providing trading channels, but also assumes the responsibility of guiding users to rational understanding and maintaining the health of the industry's ecology. However, some institutions still use high-leverage temptations, vague risk disclosures and even gambling models to attract users, which may gain customers in the short term but damage the credibility of the entire industry in the long term. WMax always believes that true sustainable development must be based on transparency, compliance and giving priority to user rights.

Leverage is not a benefit, but a risk amplifier

In recent years, some platforms have used "high leverage" as their core selling point, claiming that "1:500 leverage, one thousand yuan leverages millions", but rarely emphasize the risk of liquidation that it brings. In fact, leverage itself does not create income, but only amplifies profit and loss fluctuations. For inexperienced users, excessive leverage can easily lead to accounts being forced to be liquidated during normal market fluctuations, without even having time to react.

WMax adopts a prudent leverage strategy, provides differentiated options based on product categories and user risk levels, and recommends conservative settings by default. More importantly, we embed a mandatory risk education module in the account opening process to clearly inform: "The higher the leverage, the faster the principal will be lost." We do not view leverage as a marketing tool but as a risk parameter that needs to be carefully managed.

Fund segregation should not be a “choice question”

Whether customer funds are isolated from the platform's own funds is a key indicator to measure whether the platform has a basic bottom line of compliance. However, there are still platforms in the market that mix user funds for operations. Once operations are difficult, customer assets face the risk of being unable to be recovered. What's more, they only use "subject to supervision" as a promotional point without explaining the specific custody mechanism, making "security" a vague concept.

WMax insists on 100% segregation of client funds in independent trust accounts of licensed banks, and is completely legally separated from the company's assets. The arrangement is subject to regular third-party audits and a summary of the policy is provided in the user backend. We believe that financial security is not an additional service, but a prerequisite for the existence of the platform. Users have the right to know where their money is, not just "trust" that it is safe.

Not promising profits is the most basic respect for users

Phrases such as "guaranteed profit", "guaranteed capital" and "earning 100,000 per month by following orders" are common on some social platforms. In essence, they replace risk education with result induction. This not only violates the financial advertising guidelines in most jurisdictions, but also misleads users to underestimate the high-risk nature of CFD, leading to irrational investment.

WMax is firmly opposed to any form of promise of earnings. All promotional materials highlight risk warnings, and all traders’ follow-up data are based on real historical performance, with the annotation “past performance does not predict future results.” We would rather users leave because they understand the risks than come in because they misunderstand the opportunities. True respect is to give users the right to know, rather than to cater to their fantasies.

Be proactive about compliance rather than reactive

Facing the trend of increasingly stringent financial regulations around the world, responsible platforms should proactively adapt rather than taking advantage of loopholes or skirting around. Especially when serving Chinese users, it is even more necessary to carefully handle the compliance boundaries of cross-border financial activities.

At the same time, we continue to optimize the Chinese version of risk disclosure documents, user agreements and fee instructions to ensure that the information is clear and readable. Compliance is not a cost, it is the cornerstone of trust. Only by operating within the framework of rules can the platform serve mature traders who truly understand and accept risks for a long time.

Conclusion: Responsibility is the starting point of long-termism

Financial markets need efficiency and even more trust. WMax is not intended to be the fastest growing platform, but is committed to being one of the most trustworthy. We know that every time a user clicks "open a position", there is real money and trust behind them. This trust cannot be maintained by words, but must be protected by the system.

At WMax, compliance is not a restriction, but the deepest responsibility to users, the industry, and ourselves.
