Any discussions that might be carried on between the Client and the Company’s employees or any information provided by the Company will not give rise to any advisory relationship, nor do they constitute Company recommendations.

Trading in Financial Instruments is regulated by the Labuan Financial Services and Securities Act 2010 as subsequently amended as well as the Labuan Companies Act 1990.

Leverage

Foreign Exchange and CFDs are Margin products and the transactions related to them will be done on Margin. The Client declares that they have read, understood and accepted the Risk Disclosure document available on the website of the Company. A general Leverage limitation of 1:100 is enabled on the Company’s servers. Specific Leverage limitations other than the general Leverage limitation, may also be imposed on certain Financial Instruments. The Company may also add to or change its Leverage Limitations at any time without prior notice. The Client thus accepts, acknowledges and understands that a reduction of Leverage in the Account could result in the Account Equity falling below the updated Margin requirements, which could result in a Margin Call. Client is therefore strongly advised to maintain appropriate amount of Margin in their Account(s) at all times in the event of a reduction of Account Leverage.

Margin trading

Foreign Exchange and CFDs are Margin products and the Transactions related to them will be done on Margin. This means that the Client must supply a specified initial Margin (deposit), on agreement, of the overall contract value. The Client declares that he has read, understood and accepted the Risk Disclosure document available on the website of the Company. If the Account Equity falls below the Margin requirement, the Trading Platform will trigger an order to close all open positions. When positions have been over-leveraged or trading losses are incurred to the point that insufficient Equity exists to maintain current open positions, a Margin Call will result, and open positions must be liquidated. The Margin Call process is entirely electronic and there is no discretion on the Company’s part as to the order in which trades are closed. It is strongly advised that Clients maintain the appropriate amount of Margin in their Accounts at all times. Margin requirements may be changed based on Account size, simultaneous open positions, trading style, market conditions, and at the discretion of the Company. The Client thus accepts, acknowledges and understands that:

The Company does not check whether the Transactions of this nature are appropriate to his financial situation;
The Company sets freely the amount of Margins, the assets that may be used as collateral and the extent of any collateral such assets may provide;
All the Client’s assets are therefore blocked and pledged in this connection;
The Company may also change its rates of initial Margin and/or notional trading requirements at any time without prior notice, which may result in a change to the Margin the Client is required to maintain;
Taking into consideration the low Margin normally demanded for these Transactions, price variations in the underlying asset may result in major losses, which could significantly exceed the investment and Margin deposit committed by the Client;
The Client may be required to provide a Margin at very short notice to avoid the risk of having his positions closed and realizing a total loss;
If the Client fails to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, the position(s) may be liquidated at a loss and the Client will be liable for any resulting deficit;
In certain cases, price changes may be so drastic that the Client’s positions may be closed without any period allowed for him to restore his Margin; The Company provides the Client with online access to enable the Client to monitor his Margin requirement at all times;
The Margin Calls are made by the Company directly through the online trading platform only and the Client has the possibility to see on his Account the existing assets and Margins.

Risk Acknowledgement

The Client accepts, acknowledges and understands that the Transactions are:

highly speculative;
carry a high level of financial risk, as they are subject to excessive price fluctuations which may cause substantial losses;
only suitable for persons who are able to cope with the associated risks by bearing the financial losses.

Furthermore the Client accepts, acknowledges and understands that:

the Company does not guarantee the capital of the Client portfolio or its value at any time or any money invested in any Financial Instrument;
the value of any investment in Financial Instruments may fluctuate and the investment may become of no value;
the value of any investment in Financial Instruments may fluctuate and this may result in considerable losses, substantially exceeding the amount of Client’s investment and Margin deposit and declares that he is willing and able to undertake this risk.

Among other rights that the Company has in the way of handing these Accounts, is the right of transferring funds between Accounts to cover possible negative balances, of any of these Accounts, without this affecting in any way the right of the Company to terminate the Account or close all Client’s open positions. Any funds received in a currency for which the Client does not hold a sub-account shall be converted by the Company into the Client’s base currency.

Conflicts of Interest

The Conflicts of Interest Policy, available on the website of the Company, aims to ensure that the Company’s Clients are treated fairly and at the highest level of integrity and that their interests are protected at all times. The Company takes adequate steps to properly identify conflicts of interest.

Communication Between the Client and the Company – Client’s Orders

All notices and communications supplied by the Company in conformity with this Agreement, including Account statements and transaction confirmations, may, at the Company’s discretion, be sent to the Client by e-mail or made available in the Client’s Account on the trading platform. All notices/information provided by the Company or received from the Clients should be in English. Such notices or communications shall be deemed to have been received by the Client and transmitted in the proper manner once the Company has placed them on the Platform or sent them by e-mail. The Company shall not be liable for any delay, modification, re-routing or any other modification that the message might undergo after being sent by the Company. The Company shall accept the following communication method used by the Client to contact and transmit instructions to the Company: orders placed in writing and duly signed. The Company shall not incur any liability by refusing to carry out orders given by a person whose identity has not in its opinion been sufficiently verified. The Client shall be responsible for all orders and for the accuracy of all information sent via Internet following use made of the Client’s name, his password or any other personal identification method set up to identify the Client, regardless of who the actual user is. Any person who identifies himself in accordance with the Client’s identification methods shall be considered as being authorized to use the Company’s services. The Company shall consider such orders or communications as having been authorized and issued by the Client. It is Client’s responsibility to keep passwords confidential and to prevent unauthorized use of their passwords and their Trading Terminals. For the orders placed in writing, the Company will verify the Client’s signature with the sample signatures lodged with the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any fraud and/or lack of identification that it has not discovered. Prior to any transfer order, the Company may request an original written confirmation duly signed by the Client. Orders received by the Company in any means other than through the Trading Platform, will be transmitted by the Company to the Trading Platform and processed in the same way as though it was received through the Trading Platform. Any order sent by the Client via the Trading Platform shall only be considered as having been received, and shall not constitute a valid instruction and/or a contract between the Company and the Client, until the instruction has been registered as executed by the Company and confirmed to the Client by means of a Transaction confirmation. The Company bears no responsibility for delays or errors occurring during the transmission of orders or other communication messages via computer, for the accuracy of information received via computer or for any loss that may be incurred by the Client as a result of the inaccuracy of this information. The Client has the right to use a Limited Power of Attorney to authorize a third person (representative) to act on behalf of the Client in all business relationships with the Company as defined in this Agreement. The Limited Power of Attorney should be provided to the Company accompanied by all identification documents of the representative. If there is no expiry date, the Power of Attorney will be considered valid until written termination by the Client. The Company has the right to refuse to transmit a Client’s order for execution without giving any notice and/or explanation to the Client. Among the cases that the Company is entitled to do so are the following (the list is not exhaustive):

If the Client does not have the required funds deposited in the Company’s Client Account;
If the order violates the smooth operation of the Trading Platform;
If the order aims at manipulating the market of the specific Financial Instrument;
If the order is a result of the use of inside confidential information (insider trading);
If the order aims to legalize the proceeds from illegal acts or activities (money laundering).

The client needs to be aware that the company will refuse to accept or it may cancel any orders placed and/or executed via the Trading Terminal without any notice if it comes to its attention that the logic behind those orders is to abuse the whole system (i.e. use of specific EAs to generate volume by opening and closing positions at the same price) in order this way to gain unfairly benefits for the client and which is beyond the traditional scope of fair trading. Client understands that reports and confirmations of order executions, cancellations or modifications may be erroneous for various reasons. Confirmations also are subject to change by Company, in which case Client shall be bound by the actual order execution, so long as it is consistent with Client’s order. In the event that Company confirms an execution or cancellation in error and Client unreasonably delays in reporting such error within 24 hours, Company reserves the right to require Client to accept the trade, or remove the trade from Client’s Account, in Company’ sole discretion.

Transfer of Funds

The Company shall inform the Client of the name, address and account number of the Company’s “Client account” for transferring funds. The Client shall clearly specify his name and all required information, in accordance with international regulations related to the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing, on the payment document. It is the Company’s policy not to accept payments from third parties to be credited to the Client’s Account. Any amounts transferred by the Client to the Company’s “Client account” will be deposited in the Client’s Account at the “value date” of the received payment and net of any deduction/charges by the transferring bank. The Company has the right to refuse a Client’s transferred funds in any of the following cases (the list is not exhaustive):

If the funds are transferred by a third party;
If the Company has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person who transferred the funds was not a duly authorized person;
If the transfer violates Labuan legislation.

In any of the above cases takes place, the Company will send back the received funds to the remitter by the same method as they were received. By signing this Agreement, the Client gives his consent and authorizes the Company to make deposits and withdrawals from the “Client account” on behalf of the Client, including but not limited to, for settlement of transactions performed by or on behalf of the Client, for payment of all amounts due by or on behalf of the Client to the Company or any other person. The Client, using the Company’s relevant “Fund transfer request”, shall provide the Company with his bank account in order for the Company to transfer any amount payable to the Client. It is the Company’s policy to transfer all amounts directly to the Client’s personal account. Funds are transferred by the Company within three Business Days of the date they are debited from the Client’s Account. It may take up to five Business Days for funds to be credited to the Client’s bank account, after initiation of the Company’s transfer. The Company has the right to suspend or cancel the Client’s instructions for transferring funds in any of the following cases (the list is not exhaustive):

If the Client instructs the Company to transfer the funds to a third party;
If the Company has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the person who gave the transfer order was not a duly authorized person;
If the transfer violates Labuan legislation.

Safeguarding of Client’s Funds

Client’s funds will be held in the name of the Client and/or the name of the Company on behalf of the Client in a separate bank account specially designated as “Client account”. The Company will maintain separate records in the accounting system of its own funds/assets and funds kept on behalf of Clients so as at any time and without delay to distinguish funds held for one Client from funds held for any other Client, and from its own funds/assets. Client funds are kept off balance sheet and cannot be used to pay back creditors in the unlikely event of default of the Company. In addition, the Company will not be liable for any failure or insolvency of any bank and/or financial institution in which client funds are held, however, applicable investor compensation or deposit protection schemes may protect a proportion of Client funds.

Anti-money Laundering Provisions

According to prevailing Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism regulations, the Company shall be entitled to request the Client to provide immediately any additional information concerning the circumstances and the context of a particular transaction. The Company shall have the right not to carry out orders or instructions received from the Client as long as the Client has not supplied the information requested by the Company. The Company has the right to terminate the Agreement with the Client immediately and to prohibit the Client from withdrawing any assets if the explanations provided are inadequate.

Prohibited Trading

Generally speaking, the Company allows all types of trading methods and styles as the Company employs strict Straight Through Processing / Direct Market Access trading. The Company does reserve the right, however, to close, suspend or recoup any closed profit and loss from an Account it deems is engaging in unethical or questionable trading styles including, but not limited to, latency arbitrage, the act of “flooding” of our servers with an excessive amount of pending orders, excessive logins, “picking” & “sniping” or the use of certain automated trading systems or Expert Advisors, without notice. The Company will usually (but is not obligated to always) attempt to initially express its concern to Client or associated parties in the form of a formal warning. If the Client or associated party does not modify trading style within a reasonable amount of time following the warning, Company reserves the right to liquidate all or some open positions, close, suspend or recoup any closed profit or loss from Account, and return any remaining proceeds to Client according to Company Account closing procedures or any combination thereof.

Swap, CFD Expiration & Swap-Free Accounts

The Client will generally but not always incur a credit or debit in their Account if holding a currency, bullion or CFD position at the end of each trading session. You may view current swap rates on the Company’s trading platform, and further information about Swap at the Company’s website. Please note that once a month certain CFD’s will expire, meaning that expiration will take place one day prior to the expiration of its underlying futures contract at our closing bid/ask price. All open positions will be closed, all floating profit and loss will be realized and all pending orders will be deleted. No positions will be rolled forward into the new contract. It is up to the Client to reinitiate their own positions. Swap-Free (Syariah/Sharia) Accounts are generally but not always offered to nor obliged to offer to our clients of Muslim faith. A swap-free Account precludes the Account from either being credited or debited swap interest at the end of each trading session. The Company, however, fully reserves the right to remove the swap-free designation from any Account which is holding a position in which the client owes interest for over 5 trading days. The Company will notify the Client within 24 hours of removal of swap free designation, but is not required to notify the Client of such removal.

Client Complaints

The Client shall be required to check the content of each document, including those sent electronically by the Company or made available to the Client on the trading platform. Such documents should be regarded as authoritative. Complaints shall be addressed, in the first instance, to the Customer Support Department. If the Client receives a response from the Customer Support Department but deems that the complaint needs to be raised further the Client should, complete the Complaint Form which is publicly available on the Company’s website and send it to [email protected]. The Client must inform the Company immediately if an incorrect transaction appears on his Account. Any complaints in relation to the execution or the non-execution of an order will only be examined if raised in writing as soon as the underlying facts occurred, and in any case no later than the time that the relevant market opens on the day after the order was executed. Any claim relating to the performance or non-execution of an order will be considered only on the express condition that it be made in writing upon the occurrence of the events in question and at the latest before the opening of relevant market on the day after the execution, that is, within a 24-hour period from the time of occurrence. It should be noted that the use of an expert advisor or any other program that is used to perform technological and/or algorithmic trading, also alleviates you of any right to claim. Once this period has expired, the Client shall no longer have any rights, of any type whatsoever, against the Company. The document entitled Complaint Form, available on the website, should be used for any complaint a Client may have. The Client may complete the Complaint Form with all the information requested and may return the form to the Company as mentioned in the specific document. Clients shall contribute to the Company, in handling of Client’s claims, by providing the Customer Support Department with all necessary information, including, but not limited to:

Client’s Name and Surname (for corporate clients – company name);
Client’s Account login;
Date and time of the issue in the platform time zone;

Detailed description of the issue.

The Client has obligation to avoid any kind of offensive vocabulary, intimidation, unsubstantiated accusation or emotional interpretation of anything related to his claim or to Company or its business.

Complaint Handling Procedure

The Company shall take decisions on Client complaints within five working days upon receipt. In the event Company is unable to take decision on the Client’s complaint within the above period, the Company shall notify the Client by telephone or by e-mail about the extension of the investigation terms. The Client accepts server log—file records as a main source of information in the context of handling of Client complaints. The Client accepts the absolute seniority of server log—file records against other sources, including client terminal log—file records. The Company shall indemnify the Client exclusively by depositing in the Client’s Account with the Company. In the event the Company deems necessary to delete one or another of Client’s tickets, such tickets shall be removed from Client’s trading terminal, and the Client’s Account balance and/or equity shall be adjusted by the summarized value of profit/loss and rollovers related to such tickets. In the event the Company deems necessary to restore one or another of Client’s tickets, such tickets shall be re-established in ‘Trade’ layout of Client’s trading terminal; summarized profit/loss and rollovers related to such tickets shall be deducted from Client’s Account balance and applied to the Client’s Account equity in connection with current market prices.

Rejected Complaints

The Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to decline Client claims on the expiry of 24-hourly period after related issues. The Company may not accept claims handed over to Company by e-mail to any Company email address except [email protected]. The Company shall have the right to decline a Client’s claim or any of its arguments if server log—file record required for examination of such claim or arguments do not exist.

Use of the IT System

In general, the Client shall transmit instructions to the Company using the IT system provided. The Company shall communicate with the Client exclusively via the IT system. It will be the Client’s responsibility to take all necessary action to ensure that he is able to access any communications that may be sent to him. The Client is aware of the fact that using computers and the Internet exposes him to a number of risks including, in particular:

The possibility that an unauthorized third party might access the Client’s Account;
The possibility that the relationship between the Client and the Company might be revealed;
The possibility that computer viruses might infect the Client’s computer system without the Client’s knowledge;
The possibility that third parties might send messages to the Client, claiming to represent the Company.

The Client undertakes to obtain full information (and acknowledges that he alone is responsible for doing so) regarding the risks to which he may be exposed and regarding any necessary security measures. The Company will not be liable for any loss suffered by the Client resulting from IT use, including in particular the actions of unauthorized third parties passing themselves off as the Client or the Company, transmission errors, transmission failures, technical faults, overloads, breakdowns (including but not limited to maintenance activities due to the maintenance system), system downtime, malfunctions, interference, attacks (e.g. hacking), blocked communications and networks (e.g. mail bombing) or other failures, regardless of who is responsible. The Client will therefore take the necessary precautions to ensure the confidentiality of all information, including, among other things, the system password, user ID, portfolio details, transaction activities, Account balances, as well as all other information and all orders. The Client undertakes to notify the Company immediately if it comes to his attention that his system password is being used without authorization. The Client hereby assumes all liability arising in connection with technical access to the Company’s services. The Client shall be responsible for acquiring, installing and configuring the appropriate hardware and software, in order to set up his connection with the Company’s online services. The Company shall not be liable for any actions of the access provider and/or hardware that it has not supplied itself.

Recording of Conversations

The Client acknowledges, accepts and consents the fact that the Company may record at will and/or produce a written record of telephone conversations, internet based conversations (chat) and meeting between the Company and the Client. The Client allows the Company to use these recordings or the transcripts of these recordings as evidence in relation to any parties, to disclose such information as part of any litigation or litigation that it expects to arise between the Client and the Company. Technical reasons could prevent the Company from recording a conversation and the recordings or the transcripts produced by the Company will be destroyed in accordance with the Company’s normal practice. Therefore, the Client must not expect that these recordings will be available.

Risk Disclosure

Risk Disclosure – Ortega Capital Limited (Labuan)

The Client knows that transactions in the Financial Instruments as are described in the Business Terms involve a high degree of risk and are not suitable for many members of the public.

Such transactions should be entered into only by persons who have read, understood and familiarized themselves with the style of exercise, the nature and extent of rights and obligations and the associated risks.

This notice does not purport to disclose or discuss all of the risks and other significant aspects of any transaction, so the Client undertakes and warrants to consult with his own legal, tax and financial advisers prior to entering into any particular transaction.

The Company does not and cannot guarantee the initial capital of the Client’s portfolio or its value at any time or any money invested in any financial instrument.

The Client unreservedly acknowledges and accepts 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.

The Client unreservedly acknowledges and accepts 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 and declares that he is willing to undertake this risk.

The Client should not engage in any investment directly or indirectly in Financial Instruments unless he knows and understands the risks involved for each one of the Financial Instruments.

The Client acknowledges and warrants that he/she is aware of the risks, which may be involved in any investment directly or indirectly in Financial Instruments. He fully understands:

The extent of the economic risk to which he is exposed as a result of such transactions (and have determined that such risk is suitable for him in light of my specific experience in relation to the transaction and my financial objectives, circumstances and (resources); the nature and fundamentals of the transaction and the market underlying such transactions; the legal terms and conditions for such transactions.

The Client also acknowledges and warrants that he fully understands the terms and conditions of the transactions to be undertaken, including, without limitation, the terms as to price, term, expiration date, restrictions and of the terms material to the transaction; any terms describing risk factors, such as volatility, liquidity, and so on; and the circumstances under which he may become obliged to make or take delivery of a leveraged transaction.

The Client acknowledges that the high degree of leverage can work against him as well as for him due to fluctuating market conditions. Trading in such financial instruments can lead to large losses as well as gains in response to a small market movement.

The Client acknowledges that he/she can lose more than the total capital deposited and that he may be subjected to negative balance recovery actions by the Company.

The Client acknowledges and accepts that he/she may sustain substantial losses on a contract or trade if the market conditions move against his position. He also acknowledges that it is in his interest to fully understand the impact of market movements, in particular the extent of profit/loss he would be exposed to when there is an upward or downward movement in the relevant rates and the extent of loss if he has to liquidate a position if market conditions move against him.

The Client also understands that under certain market conditions he/she may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position, to assess a fair price or assess risk exposure. This can happen, for example, where the market for a transaction is illiquid or where there is a failure in electronic or telecommunications systems, or where there is the occurrence of an event commonly known as “force majeure”.

The Client knows that placing contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” orders, will not necessarily limit his/her losses to the intended amounts, as it may be impossible to execute such orders under certain market conditions.

The Client also acknowledge that because the prices and characteristics of over-the-counter transactions are individually negotiated and there is no central source for obtaining prices, there may be inefficiencies in transaction pricing.

The Client consequently accepts that the Company cannot and does not warrant that the prices provided to him / her any time be the best prices available to him. The Company follows an Order Execution Policy.

The Client declares and warrants that he/she has read, comprehends and unreservedly accepts the following:

Information of the previous performance of a Financial Instrument does not guarantee its current and/or future performance. 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.
Some Financial Instruments may not become immediately liquid as a result e.g. 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.
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.
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.
A derivative financial instrument (i.e. option, future, forward, swap, contract for difference) may be a non-delivery spot transaction giving an opportunity to make profit on changes in currency rates, commodity or indices.
The value of the derivative financial instrument may be directly affected by the price of the security or any other underlying asset which is the object of the acquisition.
The Client must not purchase a derivative financial instrument unless he is willing to undertake the risks of losing entirely all the money which he has invested.
The Client acknowledges and accepts that there may be other risks which are not contained above.

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

Prior to applying for an account the Client should consider carefully whether investing in a specific Financial Instrument is suitable for him in the light of his circumstances and financial resources. Investing in some Financial Instruments entails the use of “leverage”. Leverage means the use of various Financial Instruments or borrowed capital, such as margin, to increase the potential return of an investment. In considering whether to engage in this form of investment, the Client should be aware of the following:

The Financial Instruments provided by the Company are derivatives of an underlying Financial Instrument, and it is up to the Company’s discretion to decide which types of Financial Instruments to make available and to publish the prices at which these can be traded.

The Client acknowledges that the transactions entered into with the Company in Foreign Exchange and Contracts for Difference are undertaken through the Electronic Trading Platform of the Company. The Orders will be executed on an ‘over the counter’ basis rather than on a regulated market or a Multilateral Trading Facility. Such Orders are automatically routed to an Execution Venue which the Company has assessed to provide for the best execution.

The Client is given the option to place with the Company the following Orders for execution in the following ways:

The Client places a “Market Order” which is an Order instantly executed against a price that the Company has provided. The Client may attach to a Market Order a Stop Loss and/or Take Profit. Stop Loss is an Order to limit Client’s loss, whereas Take Profit is an Order to limit Client’s profit.
The Client places a “Pending Order”, which is an Order to be executed at a later time at the price that the Client specifies. The Company will monitor the Pending Order and when the price provided by the Company reaches the price specified by the Client, the Order will be executed at that price. The following types of Pending Orders are available: Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit and Sell Stop. The Client may attach to any Pending Order a Stop Loss and/or Take Profit.

The Client may modify an Order before it is executed. The Client has no right to change or remove Stop Loss, Take Profit and Pending Orders if the price has reached the level of the Order execution.

Best Execution Factors

The Company shall take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for its Clients taking into account the following factors when executing Client’s Orders against the Company’s quoted prices:

A. Price:

Bid – Ask Spread: For any given Financial Instrument the Company will quote two prices: the higher price (“ASK”) at which the Client can buy (go long) that Financial Instrument, and the lower price (“BID”) at which the Client can sell (go short) that Financial Instrument; collectively they are referred to as the Company’s price. The difference between the lower and the higher price of a given Financial Instrument is the spread.
Pending Orders: Such Orders as Buy Limit, Buy Stop and Stop Loss / Take profit for opened short position are executed at ASK price. Such Orders as Sell Limit, Sell Stop and Stop Loss / Take profit for opened long position are executed at BID price.
Company’s price: The Company’s price for a given Financial Instrument is calculated by reference to the price of the relevant underlying Financial Instrument, which the Company obtains from third party external reference sources. The Company’s prices are constructed with reference to the given ‘Spreads and Conditions’ policy, which can be found on the Company’s website. The Company updates its prices as frequently as the limitations of technology and communications links allow. The Company reviews it’s used third party external reference sources at least once a year, to ensure that the data obtained continue to be competitive. The Company will not quote any price outside Company’s operations time (see Execution Venue below) therefore no Orders can be placed by the Client during that time.

B. Costs:

For opening a position in some types of Financial Instruments the Client may be required to pay commission or financing fees, if applicable, the amount of which is disclosed in the ‘Spreads and Conditions’ policy section on the Company’s website.

Commissions: Commissions may be charged either in the form of a percentage of the overall value of the trade or as fixed amount.
Financing Fee: In the case of financing fees, the value of opened positions in some types of Financial Instruments is increased or reduced by a daily financing fee “swap” throughout the life of the contract. Financing fees are based on prevailing market interest rates, which may vary over time. Details of daily financing fees applied are available under Spreads and Conditions section in the Company’s website. For all types of Financial Instruments that the Company offers, the commission and financing fees are not incorporated into the Company’s quoted price and are instead charged explicitly to the Client account.

C. Speed of Execution:

The Client acknowledges that the transactions entered into with the Company in Foreign Exchange and Financial Contracts for Difference are undertaken through the Electronic Trading Platform of the Company. The Orders will be executed on an ‘over the counter’ basis rather than on a regulated market or a Multilateral Trading Facility. Such Orders are automatically routed to an Execution Venue which the company has assessed to be the best execution. The Company places a significant importance when executing Client’s Orders and strives to offer high speed of execution within the limitations of technology and communications links.

If the Client undertakes transactions on an electronic system, like the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform, he/she will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software (Internet/Servers). The result of any system failure may be that the Client’s Order is either not executed according to the Client’s instructions or it is not executed at all. The Company does not accept any liability in the case of such a failure. The use of wireless connection or dial-up connection or any other form of unstable connection at the Client’s end, may result in poor or interrupted connectivity or lack of signal strength causing delays in the transmission of data between the Client and the Company when using the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform. This delay may result in sending to the Company out of date “Market Orders”.

In this case the Company will update the price and execute the Order at the market price available. The Client may request the Company to execute upon receipt instructions conveyed by e-mail or any other written or oral means of communication that each of the present and future account holders, attorneys and duly authorized representatives shall give individually to the Company, even if these instructions are not followed by a confirmation in writing. The Company does not accept any liability in case of misunderstanding, error in the identification of the person giving the instruction or other errors on its part related to such method of communication and which may involve losses or other inconveniences for the Client. The Company reserves the right not to execute instructions transmitted by telephone or fax. Telephone conversations may be recorded, and you will accept such recordings as conclusive and binding evidence of the instructions.

D. Likelihood of Execution:

The Company seeks to execute all Orders placed by its Clients.

E. Orders:

The Client requests a quotation at the price that is stated on the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform. However, due to the high volatility of the market, prices may change before a Client can execute Orders at their determined price. The Company at this point, has the right to offer the Client a new price. The Client can either accept the new price and execute the Order, or refuse the new price, cancelling the Order transaction completely.

Orders can only be placed, executed, modified or closed within the trading time and shall remain effective through to the next trading session. The Client’s Order shall be valid according to the type and time of the given Order. If the time of validity of the Order is not specified, it shall be valid indefinitely.

Order status is always shown on the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform and can be accessed via the Client’s online trading terminal. Should access to the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform not be possible, Clients may contact the Company by telephone and request the status of any of their pending Orders.

Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop Orders on Financial Instrument contracts are executed at the declared by the Client price on the first current price touch. But under certain trading conditions it may be impossible to execute Orders (Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, and Sell Stop) on any Financial Instrument contract at the declared price. In this case the Company has the right to execute the Order at the first available price. This may occur, for example, at the following cases:

Trading Session start moments.
During news times.
During volatile markets where prices may move significantly up or down and away from declared price.
Where there is rapid price movement, if the price rises or falls in one trading session to such an extent that under the rules of the relevant exchange, trading is suspended or restricted.

F. Liquidity:

If there is insufficient liquidity for the execution of the specific volume at the declared price. Likelihood of Settlement: The Company shall proceed to a settlement of all transactions upon execution of such transactions.

G. Size of Order:

While the order sizes depend on the actual Financial Instrument being traded, the typical minimum size of an Order is 0.01 lots. A lot is a unit measuring the transaction amount and it is different for each type of Financial Instrument. Please refer to the Spreads and Conditions section on the Company’s website for the value of each lot for a given Financial Instrument type as well as the minimum Order Size for the relevant Financial Instruments. The Company reserves the right to decline an Order as explained in the Business Terms entered with the Client. The Company makes every effort to fill the Order of the Client irrespective of the volume. However, if this is achieved, it may be at a best available price, different from declared price, as the market liquidity may allow at the time of execution. (See above, Likelihood of Execution).

H. Market Impact:

Some factors may affect rapidly the price of the underlying Financial Instruments from which the quoted Company price for its Financial Instruments is derived. These factors may influence some of the factors listed above. The Company will take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for its Clients.

The Company does not consider the above list exhaustive and the order in which the above factors are presented shall not be taken as priority factor. Nevertheless, whenever there is a specific instruction from the Client the Company shall make sure that the Client’s Order shall be executed following the specific instruction.

Best Execution Criteria

The Company will determine the relative importance of the above factors by using its commercial judgment and experience in the light of the information available on the market and taking into account the criteria described below:

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.

The best possible result shall be determined in terms of the total consideration, representing the price of the Financial Instrument and the costs related to execution, which shall include all expenses incurred by the Client which are directly related to the execution of the Order, including execution venue fees, clearing and settlement fees and any other fees paid to third parties involved in the execution of the Order.

Where there is more than one available Execution Venue for the execution of an Order, the commissions and the costs of the Company for transmitting the Order on each of the eligible Execution Venues shall be taken into account when assessing and comparing the results for the Client that would be achieved by executing the Order on each of the eligible Execution Venues.

The Company undertakes not to structure or charge its commissions in such a way as to discriminate unfairly between Execution Venues.

Execution Venues

Execution Venues are the entities with which the Client’s Orders are placed or to which the Company transmits Orders for execution.

The Company regularly assesses the Execution Venues available in respect of any products that the Company provides to its Clients to identify those that will enable the Company, on a consistent basis, to obtain the best possible result when transmitting Orders for execution.

The Company places significant reliance to the above Execution Venue based on the above mentioned factors and their relevant importance. It is the Company’s policy to maintain such internal procedures and principles in Order to act for the best interest of its Clients and provide them the best possible result (or “best execution”) when dealing with them.

The Client acknowledges that the transactions entered in Financial Instruments with the Company are not undertaken on a recognized exchange, rather they are undertaken through the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform and, accordingly, they may expose the Client to greater risks than regulated exchange transactions. Therefore, the Company may not execute an Order, or it may change the opening (closing) price of an Order in case of any technical failure of the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform or quote feeds.

While the Company strives to execute all Orders placed by its Clients, it reserves the right to decline an Order of any type or execute the Order at the first available market price. In case of technical failure of the trading platform or quote feeds, the Company may not transmit the Order for execution or it may change the opening/closing price of an Order. Under certain market conditions such as a fast moving market or low liquidity, the Company reserves the right to modify the spread of the transactions. In certain circumstances such as unusual market conditions or the size and nature of the Client’s Order, it may be wholly or partly manually prices and/or an Order may be manually transmitted for execution, and then have an impact on the price at which the Order is executed.

Clients are required to close open positions in regard to any given Financial Instrument during the operating hours of the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform.

The operating hours of the Company’s Electronic Trading Platform are as follows:

From 22:05:01 P.M. GMT Time Sunday through 21:54:59 P.M. GMT Time Friday.

Monitoring and Review

The Company will monitor on a regular basis the effectiveness of this Policy and, in particular, the execution quality of the procedures explained in the Policy and, where appropriate, reserves the right to correct any deficiencies.

In addition, Company will review the Policy at least annually. A review will also be carried out whenever a material change occurs that affects the ability of the Company to continue to the best possible result for the execution of its Client Orders on a consistent basis using the venues included in this Policy.

The Company will inform its Clients of any material change to this Policy by posting an updated version of this Policy on its website(s).

Client Consent

When establishing a business relation with the Client, the Company is required to obtain the Client’s prior consent to this Policy. The Company is also required to obtain the Client’s prior express consent before it executes or transmits its Order for execution outside a regulated market or an MTF (Multilateral Trading Facility). The Company may obtain the above consents in the form of a general agreement.

The Company reserves the right to review and/or amend its Policy and arrangements, at its sole discretion, whenever it deems fit or appropriate.

Our Order Execution Policy is part of our Business Terms, which is a contractually binding agreement between the Company and its Clients, and is incorporated therein by reference. It shall be applicable to all transactions among the Company and its Clients, to the extent that it does not impose and/or does not seek to impose any obligations on us which we would not otherwise have, but for the Labuan Financial Services and Securities Act 2010.
