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 Company, through its trading platform, provides the client with live streaming prices, “Quotes”. The Company is always the counterparty (or principal) to every trade; therefore, if the Client decides to open a position in a Financial Instrument with the Company, then that open position can only be closed with the Company.

 

2.3 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 execution” which is an order executed against a price on the  platforms 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.

 

2.4 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.

 

2.5 The Policy shall apply whenever the Company executes orders on behalf of its clients. The Company will always act as principal (counterparty) when executing client orders. Despite the fact that the Company takes every reasonable step to obtain the best possible result for its clients, it does not guarantee that when executing a transaction, the client’s price will be more favourable than one which might be available elsewhere.
