Rules of the trading tools transactions Following rules define the conditions, according to which the Company renders services of transactions execution 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.
The Client, using electronic access, can give only the following orders of trading character: — OPEN — to open a position; — CLOSE — to close a position; — To place (remove, change) orders Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop. Any other orders are unavailable and are automatically rejected. Orders can be placed, executed, changed or removed only within the operating (trading) time. The confirmed open or closed position cannot be cancelled or changed. The client accepts responsibility for the safety of the password, and also recognizes authenticity of all electronic orders with its use. 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. The Company has a discretionary right to decline the Client request for position opening, if Free Margin is less than the margin necessary to guarantee this position. Orders: Stop Loss, Take Profit, Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop on currency pairs and CFD contracts are executed at the declared by the Client prices on the first market price touch. The Company reserves the right not to execute the order, or to change the opening (closing) price of the transaction in case of the technical failure of the trading platform, reflected financial tools quotes feed, and also in case of other technical failures. 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. The minimum level for placing Stop Loss, Take Profit and Limit Orders from a market price on currency pairs is 10 points — for currency pairs with spread less than 10 points, and is equaled spread — for currency pairs with spread more than 10 points. 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. At Margin level less than 10 percent the Company has a discretionary right to begin closing positions starting from most unprofitable, while Margin level = 5 % or less all positions are getting closed forcedly in the automatic mode at current price. The Client takes full responsibility for giving directions opening, closing, changes and removal of positions or orders on the phone line +74957889675 through the operators of the Company. All operations in this case are executed under the responsibility of the Client. The Client agrees and realizes that all conversations between the Client and the Company can be recorded on magnetic, electronic and other carriers. The Client further agrees to use these records as evidence in case if any dispute arises between the Company and the Client. 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. In certain circumstances the Company may, suspend, freeze or close the Client positions and request the revision of the executed transactions. Such circumstances can arise when there are force-majeur circumstances, hacker attacks and other illegal actions against the Server of the Company, and also a suspension of trade in the financial markets concerning trading tools of the Company. All questions, regarding determination of a price level in the trading terminal are at the discretion of the Company. Any references of the Client to prices of other trading or information systems are unauthorized and can be refused. Trading operations using additional functions of the client trading terminal, such as Trailing Stop or Expert Adviser are executed completely under the Client responsibility, as they depend directly on the client trading terminal and cannot be supervised by the Server of the Company.
