2. Risk Disclosure & Acknowledgment

2.1 It is important for the Client to understand the risks involved before deciding to enter into a trading relationship with the Company. If the Client chooses to enter into a trading relationship with the Company, he should remain aware of the risks involved and be able to have adequate financial resources to bear such risks.

2.2 The financial instruments offered by the Company are high-risk products that are traded on margin and carry a risk of losing all Client’s initial deposit. These kind of products can fluctuate significantly and present a high risk of capital loss, therefore these products may not be appropriate or suitable for all clients and the Client should seek independent advice should he is not able to understand the risks involved.

2.3 General Risks and Acknowledgements: The Client acknowledges, understands, agrees and accepts the risks including but not limited: 

      a. The Company does not and cannot guarantee that funds deposited in the Client’s Account for trading will not be lost as a result of the Client’s transactions. 

      b. The Client acknowledges that, regardless of any information which may be offered by the Company, the value of any investment in Financial Instruments may fluctuate downwards or upwards and it is even probable that the investment may become of no value.

      c. The Client acknowledges that he/she runs a great risk of incurring losses and damages as a result of the purchase and/or sale of any Financial Instrument and accepts that he/she is willing to undertake this risk. 

      d. The use of historical data does not constitute a binding or safe forecast as to the corresponding future performance of the Financial Instruments to which the said Information refers. 

      e. The Client is hereby advised that the transactions undertaken through the dealing services of the Company may be of speculative nature. Large losses may occur in a short period of time and may be equal to the total value of funds deposited with the Company. 

      f. Some Financial Instruments may not become immediately liquid, for example, as a result of reduced demand and the Client may not be in a position to sell them or easily obtain information on the value of these Financial Instruments or the extent of the associated risks. 

      g. When a Financial Instrument is traded in a currency other than the currency of the Client’s country of residence, any changes in the exchange rates may have a negative effect on its value, price and performance. 

      h. A Financial Instrument on foreign markets may entail risks different to the usual risks of the markets in the Client’s country of residence. In some cases, these risks may be greater. The prospect of profit or loss from transactions on foreign markets is also affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

      i. The Client should not purchase a Financial Instrument unless he/she is willing to undertake the risks of losing entirely all the money which he has invested and also any additional commissions and other expenses incurred. 

      j. Under certain market conditions (for example but not limited to the following situations: force majeure event, technical failure, communications network failure, poor or no liquidity, market news or announcements etc.) it may be difficult or impossible to execute an order. 

      k. Should the Equity of the Client be insufficient to hold current positions open, the Client may be called upon to deposit additional funds at short notice or reduce exposure. Failure to do so within the required time may result in the liquidation of positions at a loss and the Client will be liable for any resulting deficit. 

      l. Trading on-line, no matter how convenient or efficient, does not necessarily reduce risks associated with currency trading. 

      m. There is a risk that the Client’s trades in Financial Instruments may be or become subject to tax and/or any other stamp duty, for example, because of changes in legislation or his/her personal circumstances. The Company does not warrant that no tax and/or any other stamp duty will be payable. The Client should be responsible for any taxes and/or any other duty which may accrue in respect of his/her trades. 

      n. Before the Client begins to trade, he/she should obtain details of all commissions and other charges for which the Client will be liable. If any changes are not expressed in money terms (but for example a spread), the Client should ask for a written explanation, including appropriate examples, to establish what such charges are likely to mean in specific money terms.

      o. The Company will not provide the Client with investment advice relating to investments or possible transactions in investments or make investment recommendations of any kind. 

      p. There may be situations, movements and/or conditions occurring at the weekend, at the beginning of the week or intra-day after the release of the significant macroeconomic figures, economic or political news that make currency markets to open with price levels that substantially differ from previous prices. In this case, there exists a significant risk that orders issued to protect open positions and open new positions may be executed at prices significantly different from those designated.

By accepting this Agreement, the Client gives his consent and authorises the Company, where applicable, to transfer/hold his funds in other parties or business partners i.e liquidity providers for settlement purposes.  The Company shall not be liable for the solvency, acts or omissions of any institution with which Client money is held.

8. Client’s Orders/Instructions & Execution of Orders

8.1 Execution of Orders: It is the Company’s approach to take all sufficient steps to obtain the best possible result on behalf of its Clients when executing Client orders on Financial Instruments offered by the Company or receiving and transmitting orders for execution. The Client understands and acknowledges that the Company will enter into transactions with the Client either as principal (counterparty) or an agent. The Company will be the contractual counterparty to the Client.

8.2 The Company, when executing orders, will obtain the best possible result for Clients, taking into account factors like price, costs, speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, market impact or any other consideration relevant to the execution of the order. Where the Company executes an order on behalf of a Client, the best possible result shall be determined in terms of the total consideration, representing the price of the financial instrument and the costs relating to execution, which shall include all expenses incurred by the Client which directly relate to the execution of the order. 

8.3 For determining the importance of the execution factors indicated above, the following criteria are also taken into account: 

• The characteristics of the Client
• The characteristics of the Client order;
• The characteristics of Financial Instruments that are the subject of that order;
• The characteristics of the execution venues to which that order can be directed.

8.4 The Client understands and confirms that all orders received by the Company from the Client are orders for execution outside a Regulated Market or MTF.

8.5 Client’s Orders/Instructions: Orders may be placed with the Company once the Client gets access to the Company’s Trading Platform. The Company will be entitled to rely and act on any Order placed on the Trading Platform without any further enquiry to the Client and any such Orders will be binding upon the Client.

8.6 The Company’s Buy/ Sell prices for a given CFD are calculated by reference to the price of the relevant Underlying Asset. Third party reputable external resources (i.e. feed providers) obtain prices (Buy/Sell prices) of the Underlying Asset for a given CFD .The Company then uses the prices given by the feed providers to calculate their own tradable prices for a given CFD. The Company adjusts the Spread (i.e. the difference between the Buy/Sell prices), hence the prices it quotes to Clients compared to the prices it obtains from third party external reference sources may differ, as they include a Spread adjustment. The Company provides Quotes by taking into account the Underlying Asset price. The Client acknowledges that such Quotes will be set by the Company at its absolute discretion. 

8.7 Orders can be placed, executed and changed or removed within the trading hours for each CFD showed on the Company’s Website, as amended from the Company from time to time and if they are not executed they shall remain effective through the next trading session (as applicable). The Company shall not be obliged to arrange for the execution of the Client’s orders in respect of any CFD out of normal trading hours which appear on the Company’s Website.

8.8 If any tradable instrument becomes subject to possible adjustments, the Company will determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to the opening/closing price, size, value and/or quantity of the corresponding transaction. The determination of any adjustment or amendment to the opening/closing price, size, value and/or quantity of the Transaction (and/or the level or size of any order) shall be at the Company’s sole discretion and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Client.  The Company shall inform the Client of any adjustment or amendment via its internal mail as soon as is reasonably practicable.

8.9 During the occurrence of a manifest error i.e. a manifest or obvious misquote by the Company, or any market, liquidity provider or official price source on which the Company has relied in connection with any transaction, having regard to the current market conditions at the time an order is placed as the Company may reasonably determine, the Company may amend the details of affected transactions to reflect what the Company reasonably determines as correct and fair and/or declare any or all affected transactions as void.

8.10 During periods of abnormal Market (Volatile) Conditions, during news announcements, on opening gaps (trading session starts), or on possible gaps where the Reference Asset has been suspended or restricted on a particular market, Buy/Sell Stop and Stop Loss orders may not be filled at requested/declared price but instead at the next best available price. In such case, Take Profit orders below/above Buy Stop/Sell Stop orders or Stop Loss orders above/below Buy Stop/Sell Stop orders during activation will be removed. The same applies when a trading strategy is deemed as abusive, because it is aiming towards potential riskless profit or another strategy deemed by the Company to be abusive. Accordingly, placing a Stop Loss order will not necessarily limit the Client’s losses at the intended amount.

9. Margin/Leverage Level

9.1 The Margin/leverage levels applicable to the different products offered by the Company can be found on the Company’s Website at [URL to be added]. If at any time the Equity falls below a certain percentage of the required Margin, specified on the Website, the Company has the right to close any or all of the Client’s open positions without the Client’s consent or any prior written notice to him. The Client will be informed about the closure of its position through electronic means should the equity falls below the required margin. 

The Client is responsible to monitor its account balance and keep sufficient funds in its Account in order for its open positions to remain unaffected. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to start closing Client’s open positions starting from the most unprofitable, when the Margin is less than 100% of the Margin requirement. In the case where the Margin is equal to or less than 50% of the Margin requirement, then Client’s positions shall be automatically closed, starting from the most unprofitable, at the prevailing market price.

9.2 Margin or leverage Level may be set and varied without prior notice from time to time in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion in order to cover any realised or unrealised losses arising from or in connection with transactions, including subsequent variation of any Margin rates set at the time transactions are opened. The Client can request to change his account leverage at any time by contacting the Company.

9.3 On every Friday and between the hours of 21:00 till 24:00 (GMT+3) and occasionally before the release of major economic news, the Company may maintain a maximum leverage on remaining instruments other than FX for any new positions opened during such period which such requirement, if any, will be disclosed in the Company’s website.
