3. Rules of the trading tools transactions. |
|
Following rules define the conditions, according to which the Company renders services of execution of investment transactions in FOREX and CFD markets to natural persons and legal entities via Trading Platform, Internet or a telephone line provided by the Company or a representative of the Company. 2. The client accepts responsibility for the safety of the password, and also recognizes authenticity of all electronic orders with its use. 3. The transaction (opening or closing a position) is executed at the "BID" / "ASK" prices offered to the Client. The Client chooses desirable operation and makes a request for the transaction confirmation by the Company. The transaction is executed at the prices the Client can see on the screen. Due to the high volatility of the markets during the confirmation process the price may change, and the Company has the right to offer the Client a new price. In the event the Company offers the Client a new price the Client can either accept the new price and execute the transaction or refuse the new price, thus cancel the execution of the transaction. 6. Under certain trading conditions it may be impossible to execute orders (Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop) on currency pairs and CFD contracts at the declared price. In this case the Company has the right to execute the order or change the opening (closing) price of the transaction at a first market price. This may occur, for example, at times of 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. Or this may occur in the trading session start moments. So as a result, placing a stop-loss order will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such an order at the stipulated price.
8. The Client has no right to change or remove Stop Loss, Take Profit and Limit Orders if the price has reached the level of the order execution. 11. The Company has the right to refuse the Client in the execution of transactions through the telephone line if the actions of the Client are not clear and do not include the following operations: opening position, closing position, changing or removing orders. 13. All questions, regarding determination of a price level in the trading terminal are at the discretion of theCompany. Any references of theClient to quotations of other trading or information systems are unauthorized and can be refused. |
