Anti-Money Laundering Policy
Both the Company and Client are subject to Anti Money Laundering laws and regulation, applicable worldwide and locally.
The Client must be aware and declare that:
The use of the Company’s website and services shall be made only with accordance to the applicable law and not for any criminal activity.
All money transaction from or to the Client shall be consistent with AML laws and regulations, and the funds that the Client transfers to the Company do not derive from any criminal or other illegal activity.
The Client obligates to provide true and updated information about himself, to enable the Company to identify the identity of the Client when receiving and transferring funds from and to the Client.
Repayment of any funds by the Company to the Client will be in the same currency and to the same account/credit card from which the funds were originally transferred, unless the Company has decided, by its own discretion, to return the funds to a different account of the Client.
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
www.investmentsglobal.com does not tolerate money laundering and supports the fight against money launderers. Billing and clearing are governed by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines laws.
The Company has policies in place to deter people from laundering money. These policies include:
ensuring clients have valid proof of identification
maintaining records of identification information
determining that clients are not known or suspected terrorists by checking their names against lists of known or suspected terrorists
informing clients that the information they provide may be used to verify their identity
closely following clients’ money transactions
Not accepting cash, money orders, third party transactions, exchange houses transfers or Western Union transfers.
Money laundering occurs when funds from an illegal/criminal activity are moved through the financial system in such a way as to make it appear that the funds have come from legitimate sources.
Money Laundering usually follows three stages:
firstly, cash or cash equivalents are placed into the financial system
secondly, money is transferred or moved to other accounts (e.g. futures accounts) through a series of financial transactions designed to obscure the origin of the money (e.g. executing trades with little or no financial risk or transferring account balances to other accounts)
And finally, the funds are re-introduced into the economy so that the funds appear to have come from legitimate sources (e.g. closing a futures account and transferring the funds to a bank account).
Trading accounts are one vehicle that can be used to launder illicit funds or to hide the true owner of the funds. In particular, a trading account can be used to execute financial transactions that help obscure the origins of the funds.
www.investmentsglobal.com directs funds withdrawals back to the original source of remittance, as a preventative measure.
International Anti-Money Laundering requires financial services institutions to be aware of potential money laundering abuses that could occur in a customer account and implement a compliance program to deter, detect and report potential suspicious activity.

Risk Disclosure Statement
Purpose
The purpose of the Risk Disclosure Statement (the “Statement”) is to provide you (the “Client”) appropriate information and disclosure on the nature and risks of the specific types of financial instruments offered by Investments Global (hereafter the “Company”).
You should carefully read this Statement, and before trading in financial instruments with the Company make sure you fully understand and are able to bear the risks involved. It should be noted that this Statement does not purport to disclose or discuss all of the risks and other significant aspects of all transactions entered into with or through the Company. We outline the general nature of the risks of dealing in financial instruments on a fair and non-misleading basis. Therefore, you need to ensure that your decision is made on an informed basis and as a minimum you should be taking into consideration all the following disclosed below.
You should ensure that you understand the risks involved and take into account your level of experience, and if necessary, seek independent advice. The Client is responsible for all the losses suffered in his account.
By registering and trading with the Company, you acknowledge having read and fully understood the risks involved in trading in Contracts for Difference (“CFDs“), and that you are willing and able to bear all such risks.
Risks Involved in Trading in CFDs
Trading is very speculative and risky. Trading in CFDs is highly speculative. CFDs are subject to many influences which may result in rapid fluctuations and reflect unforeseen events or changes in conditions with the inevitable consequence being market volatility. We cannot, and do not, guarantee the investment performance of CFDs, and past performance is no indication or guarantee of future performance.
Highly Leveraged instruments. Trading in CFDs allows you to trade the markets on a margined basis, as opposed to paying upfront the entire contract value, hence allowing you to get larger market exposure for your investment. While this can work in your favor, it can also work against you and increase your losses. We offer various leverage levels for different asset classes Due to their leverage, CFDs may result in the loss of all of your invested capital. However, it should be noted that the Company operates on a ‘negative balance protection’ basis; this means that you cannot lose more than your initial investment.
Margin risk. The Client needs to make sure that he has sufficient margin in his trading account, at all times, in order to maintain an open position. In addition, the Client needs to continuously monitor any open positions in order to avoid positions being closed due to the unavailability of funds; it should be noted that the Company is not responsible for notifying you for any such instances but may do so.
Market conditions. Financial markets may fluctuate rapidly to reflect events that are outside the control of the Company and/or your control; as a result, prices will become volatile. One form of price volatility is ‘gapping’, which occurs when there is a sudden shift in prices from one level to another. This can be caused, for example by unexpected economic events or market announcements, within or outside trading hours. Consequently, the Company may be unable to execute your instructions at the requested price. This may also occur when there is insufficient underlying liquidity in the market.
Conflicts of Interests. The Company is the counterparty to all transactions the Client enters into and, as such, the Company’s interests may be in conflict with the Client’s.
Prices are set by the Company. The Company determines the prices of all instruments offered on its website. Accordingly, the prices may be different from prices reported or quoted elsewhere. The Company will provide the prices to be used in trading and valuation of the Client’s positions in accordance with its trading policies and procedures. As such, the prices may not directly correspond to real time market levels at any specific point in time. CFDs must be opened and closed with us, and you will not be able to settle a transaction with any other entity.
Rights to underlying assets. Entering or holding a CFD does NOT provide the Client with any rights in respect of the underlying instruments or assets, including any title or ownership right, right to receive dividends or paid interest, etc.
One-click order. Once the Client places an order, it is immediately received by the Company for execution. The Client cannot reverse or cancel such order after making it (but can always close the transaction at the relevant price).
Execution risk. A delay in execution may occur for various reasons, such as technical issues with your internet connection to the servers of the platform or the trading servers. In such circumstances, the price offered by us may change before we receive your order. If you place an order and the price changes before the order is received, the order will be accepted at the new price.
Platform risk. There are risks in trading through the Company’s online platform. These include but are not limited to:
Software errors and bugs, delays in telecommunications systems, interrupted service, data supply errors, faults or inaccuracies and security breaches;
Data of users of the platform may be visible to others, institutions or brokers may be able to see your orders and other communications relating to trading and execution without your consent (or ours) and that third parties (including persons on private networks) will have the ability to attach to your network;
System failures: If the platform is suspended for any reason whatsoever, you may have difficulties in executing orders or using any other services provided through the platform. In such cases other communication forms may be available for such services, but we cannot guarantee such failures shall not occur, and shall not be liable if they do; and
We may limit the total volume of trades you may have outstanding at a given time, which could prevent or delay execution of your orders, at your risk.
Counterparty risk. As we are the counterparty to every transaction, the Client will have an exposure to us in relation to each transaction. The settlement of a transaction will be reliant on our ability to meet our counterparty obligations to you to settle the relevant contract. If we default on our obligations, you may become an unsecured creditor in an administration or liquidation and will not have recourse to any underlying assets in the event of our insolvency.
The Company is not an adviser or a fiduciary to customer. Where the Company provides any information regarding the financial markets and the CFDs, which may include generic market recommendations, analyses, reports, market update and the likes of those, whether provided directly to the Client or to the public in general (together, the “Market Information“), such information does not constitute any personal recommendation or investment advice and do not consider any of the Client’s personal circumstances or investment objectives, nor is it an offer to trade, or the solicitation of an offer to trade, in any CFD. Each decision taken by the Client to trade in CFDs with the Company and each decision as to whether a transaction is appropriate or proper for the Client is an independent decision made by the Client. The Company is not acting as an advisor or serving as a fiduciary to the Client. The Client agrees that the Company has no fiduciary duty to the Client and is not responsible for any liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the Client following information provided by the Company, and the Client should not be taking or avoiding any action based upon any such information.
Market Information not guaranteed. Any Market Information provided by the Company, is based solely on the judgment of its personnel and should be considered as such. The Client acknowledges that it enters into any transactions relying on his/her own judgment. Any Market Information provided may or may not be consistent with the market positions or intentions of the Company and/or its affiliates. The Market Information is based upon information believed to be reliable, but the Company cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof or represent that following it will reduce or eliminate the risk inherent in trading CFDs.
No guarantees of profit. There are no guarantees of profit nor of avoiding losses when trading in CFDs. The Client has received no such guarantees from the Company or from any of its representatives. The Client is aware of the risks inherent in trading CFDs and is financially able to bear such risks and withstand any losses incurred.
Costs, Swap Value and Other Considerations. Prior to investing in CFDs the Client needs to be aware of any costs involved, such as spread(s) and swap(s). For the purposes of this Statement, a swap means the interest added or deducted for holding a position open overnight. The swap for a position held open overnight from Wednesday to Thursday is three times that of other days; the reason for this is that the value date of a trade held open overnight on a Wednesday would normally be Saturday, but since banks are closed, the value date is Monday and the client incurs an extra 2 (two) days of interest. From Friday to Monday swap is charged once.

Bonus Application Policy
The below terms and conditions (“Bonus Terms and Conditions”) shall apply to all Bonuses, Trade Refunds, any type of special offer or promotion (“Bonus” or “Bonuses”) that may be granted by Investments Global (the “Company”) to a client. This Bonus Application is subject to the Company’s general “Terms and Conditions” (the “T&C”) appearing on the Company Website: www.investmentsglobal.com By signing below, you (the “Client”) hereby irrevocably accept and agree to the Bonus Terms and Conditions.
General Terms
In order for any and all Bonuses and/or offers to become applicable and accepted by the Company, the Client must comply with the specific Bonus Terms and Conditions (For example: a Client may be required to make a minimum deposit).
All bonuses are subject to trading requirements, which require your total trades to be of a particular value, in order to be able to withdraw bonus funds and any profit associated with them.
Unless stated otherwise, in writing on the Company’s Site, it shall be a standard term of any and all Bonuses that in order to make a withdrawal of the Bonuses received by the Client, and the profits generated from these Bonuses, the client will be required to have a total volume, since receiving the Bonus, of at least 20,000 the amount of the bonus (“Total Contract Threshold”).
For the avoidance of any doubt, the above-mentioned calculation method shall comply with the following example:
Bonus * 20,000 = Total contract Threshold, which shall allow the Client to perform the withdrawal of the Bonus amount.
Each bonus requires you to reach a trading volume of 20,000 in order for it to be withdrawable. For example: (Bonus 1 + Bonus 2) * 20,000 = Total contract Threshold.
Before the Total Contract Threshold is reached, the Client will not be able to withdraw from the Trading Account the Bonus amount and the profit amount generated by the Bonus in the account. For example:
Example A: the Client deposited to the account Bitcoin in the value of $1,000 and made a profit of additional $1,000. Then, the Client received a Bonus in the amount of $2,000 and made a profit of $3,000.
The Client will be able to withdraw $2,000 ($1,000 deposit+$1,000 profit prior to Bonus) before reaching the Total contract Threshold.
The Client will be able to withdraw the remaining $5,000 ($2,000 Bonus+$3,000 profit generated from Bonus) only after reaching the Total contract Threshold.
Example B: the Client deposited to the account Bitcoin in the value of $1,000, made a profit of additional $1,000 and lost $2,000. Then, the Client received a Bonus in the amount of $2,000 and made a profit of $3,000.
The Client will only be able to withdraw $5,000 ($2,000 Bonus+$3,000 profit generated from Bonus) after reaching the Total contract Threshold.
Withdrawals shall be made in accordance with the T&C and the Company’s Withdrawal Policy.
In the case that you have no deposit funds in your trading account, you solely hold bonus funds in your trading account, and you fail to execute a trade with the bonus funds for a period of 90 days, the bonus funds in your account shall be forfeited to the Company without prior notice and without the option to request a refund
Bonus Abuse
A Bonus Abuse is when it appears that there is a participation of conspired strategies, adverse exploitation of errors or adverse exploitation of failures in our software/system, or any action, which in our sole and complete discretion, is perceived as abusive (“Bonus Abuse”).
Bonus Abuse includes but is not limited to:
the user controls or maintains more than one active account at the Site in order to claim the free bonus offers.
trading activity patterns that suggest fraud, manipulation, cash arbitrage or attempts to garner risk free profits by making use of any bonus; and/or fraud.
If the Company suspects that the Client has abused or attempted to abuse the Bonus Terms and Conditions contained herein, or otherwise acted in bad faith towards the Company, then the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deny, withhold or withdraw from that Client the Bonus and, if necessary, block and/or terminate the Client’s access to the Trading Account.
In such cases, the Company will not be liable for any other consequences that result from the Bonus cancellation and/or removal. If the Client has Open Positions and in the event that any losses incurred as a result of such cancelation of the Bonus, the Company will not be held liable
The decision of whether the Client is abusing and/or manipulating the Company’s trading platform and/or its Bonus is at the Company’s sole and exclusive discretion
Company’s Responsibility
The Company reserves the right to amend, vary, extend or discontinue the provision of any Bonus at any stage, for any reason according to its sole discretion. The Company will inform the Client of such changes within 7 business days. Following such notice, the Client will have the opportunity to forfeit their Bonus due to these changes
Furthermore, the Company takes no responsibility for any inability to enter, complete, continue or conclude the Bonus due to equipment or technical malfunction, busy lines, inadvertent disconnection, Acts of God or otherwise of this sort
Under no circumstance, shall the Company be liable to Client or any third parties whatsoever under any contract, strict liability, negligence or other legal or equitable theory, for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of the Client associated with the provision of the said Bonus
Acknowledgments and Risk Warnings
The Client understands that the Bonus gives him or her increased value and extra trading leverage. Therefore, caution must be exercised at all times when using the Bonus. By using the Bonus, higher trades may be closed; thus, more money can be made; however, the Client may also lose more than expected
The Client hereby acknowledges that Forex and Contract for Differences (“CFDs “) are leveraged products that involve a high-risk level. It should be noted that when trading in the aforementioned products, it is possible for Clients to lose all their invested capital. These products may not be suitable for everyone, and Clients should ensure that they understand the risks involved. Electing to utilize the Bonus may increase the risk of losing all assets. Clients should seek independent advice, if necessary

You acknowledge that in order to conduct such verification process and/or background checks, in accordance with our KYC procedure and AML policy, we may perform inquiries, directly or indirectly through third party service providers to prevent fraud, suspicious activity, misidentification, money laundering or any other prohibited activity. We reserve the right to take any action we deem necessary with respect to the outcome of such inquiries.

Suspension or Termination of Your Account
In the event the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that any activity you perform through our Website is suspicious or related to any prohibited activity, the Company may cancel or suspend your Account and/or access to the Website, block any outstanding transactions, deny any new transactions, and/or freeze any funds that may be available to you through our Services. You understand that you shall be held liable for losses incurred by the Company or by any third party due to the Client’s non-compliance and/or violation of any of the foregoing rules. The Company shall be entitled to inform any relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or other criminal activity, and may also engage collection services to recover payments.

You may terminate your Account at any time by submitting your request to terminate your Account at [email protected].

The Company reserves the right to suspend any pending transactions at the time of your termination.
Taxes.
You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any applicable taxes with respect to your transaction(s) on the Website and/or through the Services. The Company is not and at no point shall provide any tax advice concerning your CFD trading or any other Transaction through this Website and/or the Services. It is your responsibility to report, pay and remit the taxes, as applicable, to the appropriate tax authorities in the relevant jurisdiction(s).
Unless otherwise agreed, the terms of any amounts payable by you under these Terms are stated exclusive of any taxes or mandatory payments. You must pay any such taxes or mandatory payments to the relevant government agency, or otherwise, which may apply under applicable laws, and you agree to fully indemnify us for any such payments we may be required to make on your behalf. You hereby agree and represent that we may debit your Account in the amount of any such payments we are required to make on your behalf.
Service Fees and Charges
You agree to pay to us the following fees and charges (collectively, the “Fees“):
Dormant Account FeesIn the event that no Transaction has been executed through your Account for 30 consecutive days, we may charge your Account with Dormant Account Fees in the amount of 49 (forty nine) USD/ GBP/ EUR per each such period. You hereby explicitly confirm and authorize us to charge your Account with the Dormant Account Fees, which shall be deducted automatically.
Event of Default chargesWe may charge you, debit your Account or otherwise be reimbursed by you for any costs and expenses which may apply to us pursuant to your Event of Default. An Event of Default shall mean any breach by you of these Terms, or you becoming in any way unable to pay your obligations (e.g. if you become insolvent or bankrupt, or a receiver, manager or administrator is appointed to you or any of your assets).
Overnight Fees
A daily charge may apply to each Forex or CFDs open position at the closing of the Company’s trading day (the “Overnight Fee“). If the Overnight Fee is applicable, it will be paid by the Client directly to the Company from the Clients’ Trading Account Balance. The method of calculation of the Overnight Fee varies according to the type of FX/CFD to which it applies to. The Overnight Fee will be debited from the Client’s account on the next trading day following the day to which it relates.
The Company reserves the right to change the method of calculating the Overnight Fee, the financing rates and/or the types of FX/CFDs to which the Overnight Fee applies. For certain types of FX/CFDs, a commission is payable by Client to open and close FX/CFD positions. Such commission payable will be debited from Client’s account at the same time as the Company opens or closes the relevant FX/CFD. Changes in our swap interest rates and calculations shall be at our own discretion and without notice. Clients need to always check information for the current rates charged. Information concerning the swap rates for each Financial Instrument is displayed on the Trading Platform. Rates may change quickly due to market conditions (changes in interest rates, volatility, liquidity etc.) and due to various risk related matters that are at the Company’s sole discretion.
Any open FX/CFD transaction held by a Client at the end of the trading day as determined by the Company or over the weekend, shall automatically be rolled over to the next business day so as to avoid an automatic close and physical settlement of the transaction. Client acknowledges that when rolling over such transactions to the next business day a premium may be subtracted from the Client’s account with respect to such transaction.
Information concerning the Overnight Fee rates will be visible to you upon pressing the right arrow dropdown option avilable near each transaction on the Trading Platform.
If you are in a selling position you will find the Overnight Fee (percentage) listed under the “Sell Rollover” section of the dropdown. If you are in a buying position you will find the Overnight Fee (percentage) listed under the “Buy Rollover” section of the dropdown.
On Friday around 00:00 GMT, the overnight fees are multiplied by three (x3) in order to compensate for the upcoming weekend.
Additional Fees and ExpensesWe may charge you, debit your Account or otherwise be reimbursed by you for any costs and expenses which may apply to us by third parties in connection with your trading with us, including but not limited to any transaction charges, commissions, fees, Prices, premiums, settlement and clearing fees, legal expenses and taxes.
Fees in connection with Third Parties. You acknowledge and agree that:
We may receive commissions and other benefits from third parties in relation to Transactions we enter into with you or on your behalf or in connection with other services provided to you. We are entitled to retain such commissions and benefits;
If you have been referred to us by or on behalf of a broker or other third party, that broker or third party may receive benefits in the form of a commission or rebate from us;
You hereby explicitly agree and consent that any Fees which shall be payable by you shall be deducted from your Account without prior notice.
Transactions: Opening and Closing CFD Transactions
All Transactions are entered into between you and us as principal. Transactions involve opening or the closing out of a CFD. You acknowledge that all Transactions are based upon a Price we quote and agreed to by you. You also understand that we are not required to enter into any Transaction with you. For the purposes of these Terms, a Transaction may also be referred to as a CFD hereinafter.
Quotes. Prices for such CFD transactions are quoted by the Company with a buy price and a sell price. The price quote given to you by us allows you to enter into the Transaction at the higher quoted price or to close out an existing CFD at the lower quoted price.
Long and Short Positions. When entering into a CFD in the expectation that the price of the Underlying Asset will increase, you go “long” and enter into a long position. When entering into a CFD in the expectation that the price of the Underlying Asset will decrease, you go “short” and enter into a short position. Generally, in a long position you will buy, and in a short position you will sell. Please see Appendix 1 to these Terms for examples of going long and short.
Before you enter into a Transaction, you are required to hold sufficient funds in your trading account incloding the Margins (as defined in Section 10 below).
Orders. To enter into a Transaction, you must choose one of the offers on the Website and requesto to open the relevant Transaction (“Order”). Any Order you insert shall be considered pending, not be binding on us until confirmed and executed by us, which may be immediate or may take some time, based on various factors, including technological setbacks and market conditions. Once an Order is accepted, the Transaction is final and irreversible, and can not be cancelled. We may reject any Order inserted by you, for any reason whatsoever, including if we believe there has been an error or a price manipulation of any sort.
Confirmations. After we execute your Order and open the subsequent Transaction, you will automatically receive from us a confirmation via the Company’s online trading platform (the “Platform”) or other electronic format (e.g. email). You must review any confirmation or statement immediately to ensure its accuracy and you must report any discrepancies to us as soon as reasonably practical. Confirmations are deemed to be conclusive and binding on you if not objected to by you in writing within 48 hours of the confirmation being made available to you.
You will not be able to enter into any new Transactions where the Underlying Asset is subject to a trading halt or suspension by the relevant market (or if the relevant index is suspended), or otherwise not being able to be traded.
Closing Out. Generally, CFDs do not have an expiry date. They remain open until they are closed in accordance with the terms of your Transaction. When you wish to close a CFD position, you enter into a CFD which is equal and opposite to the open CFD. To proceed in this manner, you must contact a Company representative via the Platform and we will determine the current market value (or level) of the Underlying Asset for the CFD, with the view to closing the CFD position (or part of it).
Upon receiving the quote of the current market value from us, you will have the opportunity to accept the value. Upon your decision to accept, the next step involves your instruction to us to close your open position in accordance with your instructions. The total closing value is then determined by multiplying the number of CFDs by the value of the CFD’s Underlying
In the event the Underlying Asset has its own termination or expiry date, then the relevant CFD will terminate on or before the expiry of the Underlying Asset, unless earlier terminated by you or upon your instructions to rollover the CFD. For example, a CFD over a futures contract traded on an exchange usually has a fixed expiry date, and generally, prior to termination, the exchange will issue a notice of that expiry. It is your responsibility to monitor the notice dates and expiry dates of any Underlying Assets for your CFDs.
When you open a CFD, you may also have the option to pre-determine a close-out date based on the occurrence of certain events or market prices.
We shall have the right, in our sole discretion and without providing you any prior notice, to close out any open CFD immediately, at the occurence of any of the following:
Your breach of these Terms or of any of your obligations to us;
Any Adjustment Event (see Section 12 below);
We reasonably suspect any market manipulation or price manipulation has taken place;
Any material error has occured in relation to that CFD; or
Any technical problem occurs, which requires the close out of the CFD.
Payment Rights upon Closing. On the day that the CFD is closed, we will calculate the remaining payment rights and obligations to reflect movements in the contract value as of the close of the previous business day (including other credits/debits).
Errors. In the event the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that a Transaction was affected by a substantial error or technical malfunction in any way (whether before or after the Transaction was opened), the Company may cancel, void and/or terminate the Transaction, in its sole discretion. The Company may take any such action even after the Transaction is closed and settled, thus reversing any payout already made to or from your account. You hereby acknowledge that such action may affect the balance in your account. In any such event, the Company shall provide notice to you explaining the error or malfunction and the actions taken by it.
Scalping This term may refer to a method of arbitraging or a fraudulent form of market manipulation. Scalping may also refer to the opening of trades for less than five minutes.
The Client understands and agrees that certain trading activities and orders are prohibited by the Company, including, but not limited to, scalping, the use of expert advisors and/or other software that conducts manipulation or falsification in the trading platform. The Company reserves the right to halt, restrict, remove, close, or cancel any trade, order, or account that is suspected or proven to conduct prohibited trading activities. If the Client is proven or allegedly involved in illegal activities or prohibited trading throughout the period of performing obligations under any contract, relevant charges shall be made, where the Company can nullify all profits in the trading account. In this case, the Company and its providers have the right to cancel lots that were made from the beginning of the contract.
If the Client has a shares reservation and/or contract reservation that was not implemented and/or was not successfully executed, its amount percentage equivalent will be deducted from the trading account of the Client. If the Client has shares reservation and/or contract reservation that was not modified and/or successfully executed, its amount in proportion with the percentage of the contract volume will be deducted from the trading account. For the benefit of the Client, the Company reserves the right to close an ongoing trade in divided lots and/or volumes to indemnify and/or mitigate the floating loss from the total floating profit. The relevant trading contract can be considered settled if the Client meets the required percentage volume, which includes 25% in each market (Forex, Indices, Stocks, and Commodities). Moreover, trades under the contract can also be considered settled if it profited, wherein negative trades will be excluded. Trading strategies such as Hedging, Expert-Advisors trading, and Scalping or Arbitraging shall not be classified into the efficient trading volume. These types of trading strategies are strictly prohibited, which are eligible grounds for the Company to terminate any agreements and contracts with separate charges, including canceling all the lots from the successfully executed trades during the contract period.
Deposits. In order to initiate any Transaction, you must first maintain sufficient cleared funds into your Account by way of deposits to cover your desired transaction. You may deposit funds through the use of credit card payment, a bank transfer or a virtual currency transfer to the account provided by the Company. You understand and acknowledge that the payment methods accepted by the Company may change from time to time at our discretion. The Company, at its sole dicretion, may require a minimum amount to deposit and may change the minimum from time to time.
You understand and acknowledge that the Company cannot guarantee that your credit card provider or bank will accept the funds and it is your responsibility to ensure that the credit card company or bank that you wish to use will accept your funds.
Chargebacks. You agree that you will not make or attempt to make any chargebacks, and/or deny or reverse any payment or deposits that you have made. You hereby agree that you will reimburse us for any chargebacks, denial or reversal of your payments or deposits and any loss suffered by us as a consequence of this. In any such event, we reserve the right to cease to provide the Services, terminate the Terms, withhold payments to you, and take any further action which we may see as appropriate.
You also agree that the Company may, at any time, set off any amount owed by us to you against any amount owed by you to us and adjust your Account records to reflect any changes resulting from such set-offs.
Leverage and Margin
CFDs are leveraged products, meaning that you are required to pay only a certain fraction of the total value of the contract in order to enter and maintain a CFD (“Margin”). This means that with a small amount of money you are able to control a larger amount, giving you a higher market exposure. You should be always aware that just as the leverage may work in your favor, magnifying your gains, it may also work against you, in similarly magnifying your losses. Since the CFDs are leveraged instruments, by trading them you are exposed to the risk of losing substantially more than your initial investment amount.
There are two types of Margin or “Margin cover” applicable to your Account:
an “initial” margin, to enter into a CFD (the “Initial Margin”), which will typically be a percentage of the total value of the contract, to be determined by us;
a “maintenance” margin, meaning a margin to maintain the Margin cover in light of adjustments to the percentage of value of the security allowed as Margin cover or other trading platform adjustments not related to the price movements of the financial products (a “Maintenance Margin”).
Margins must be held as long as a position is open, as further explained under Section 10. The minimum Margin will be set by us and can be changed at our sole discretion at any time according to the movement in the market, and represent a percentage of the total value of the CFD, and shall typically be between 0.25% and 50%, but may be as high as 100% of the CFD value. For example, if the value of a CFD is $220,000, the Margin might be $22,000, which represents 10% of the CFD value.
The Margin cover is usually provided from available funds in your trading account. This means that you must hold sufficient funds in your trading account before you can open a position. Owing to the volatility of the market, the amount of required Margin cover may change after a position has been opened, requiring a Maintenance Margins to be paid by you at that time. The Margin requirement is calculated to cover the maximum expected movement in the market at any time.
Please see Appendix 1 for trading examples and how the Margin requirements apply.
Margin Calls
We may call in a request for you to deposit additional funds into your Account to meet Margin requirements and maintain your open position (“Margin Call”).
Upon receipt of a Margin Call, you may either reduce your position in order to reduce your Margin requirement or deposit additional funds into your account to increase the equity amount and satisfy the Margin Call.
During the period commening from the moment you receive a Margin Call, and until the completion of one of the two steps above, you will not be able to open new positions. In the event you do not comply with a Margin Call, we reserve the right to close out all or some positions in order to protect against exposure to further losses. Any losses resulting from Closing Out your positions will be debited to your trading account and you may be required to provide additional funds.
It is important to note that we are under no obligation to send you a Margin Call, and that the obligation to pay the Maintenance Margins is upon you, and it incurs at the time of the occurrence of any movement in the market which results in an unrealised loss, regardless of whether a Margin Call is demanded.
In the case where you choose to deposit additional funds to comply with a Margin Call, it is your responsibility to provide the payment in cleared funds on time, taking into account the processing time of the deposit.
Closing Out upon Adjustment Events
Should any event which gives us the discretion to adjust to the terms of the CFD occur (each, an “Adjustment Event”), whether prior to or after you entered into a position relating thereto, we may, at our sole discretion:
Adjust any of the terms (including the price) of a CFD in accordance with this Section; or
If we determine (in our sole discretion) that it is not reasonably practicable to make such an adjustment, we may Close Out the CFD in accordance with these Terms.
An Adjustment Event may be, for example, each of the following:
Any event which has a dilutive or concentrative effect on the market value of the Underlying Asset;
If the Underlying Asset is a derivative which is able to be traded on a market – any event in respect of which the operator of the market makes an adjustment to the terms of the Derivative.
If the Underlying Asset is a share, debenture, unit or other security (or depositary receipt of any kind in respect of such) – upon any consolidation, reclassification or sub-division, buy back, in specie distribution, takeover, scheme of arrangement or similar event or other corporate action event in respect of the security, whether or not the event triggers an adjustment to any exchange traded derivative of it;
A distribution to existing holders of additional shares or other securities or other financial products granting them the right to receive dividends or other proceeds equally and proportionately with payments made to holders of the underlying securities; or securities, rights or warrants granting the right to a distribution of shares or to purchase, subscribe, or receive shares, in any case for payment (in money cash or money’s worth) at less than the prevailing market price per share as determined by us; or
If the Underlying Asset is an index, a substantial adjustment to the composition of the index outside its own terms allowing for adjustments or weightings; a failure to publish the index or a suspension or cancellation of the index.
Adjustment of CFDs
Following our determination that an Adjustment Event has occurred, we will determine the adjustment, if any, which should be made in the CFD in order to place the parties in substantially the same economic position they would have been in had the event not occurred.
We will notify you as soon as practicable of the adjustment, which will be deemed to be conclusive and binding on you.
Closing Out CFDs
If at any time after the occurrence of an Adjustment Event we determine (in our sole discretion) that it is not reasonably practicable to make an adjustment in accordance this Section, we may at any time after the Adjustment Event close out the Transaction.
If the Underlying Asset is subject to a take-over offer or similar event, we may at any time prior to the closing date of such offer, close out the CFD at our sole discretion.
If the issuer whose security represents the Underlying Asset on which all or part of a CFD is based becomes externally administered, the CFD will be taken to have been closed out at that time. The closing price of the CFD will be determined by us in good faith, considering a number of factors we deems appropriate including, for example, the last traded price of the Underlying Asset.
If the Underlying Asset on which the CFD is based becomes subject to a trade halt or suspension under the rules of the relevant market, or ceases to be listed for quotation on a market for 2 consecutive Business Days, we may, in our absolute discretion, close out all relevant CFDs.
Prior to the adjustment or closing out of a CFD under this Section 11, we might give you notice of our intention to do so, including the terms of such adjustment or closing out. Provided, however, that should we determine, at our sole discretion, that it is not reasonably practicable to give you such notice prior to the adjustment or closing out of a CFD, we may do so as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, which shall not affect the terms and the time on which the adjustment or closing out of the CFD has taken place. Any such notice shall be provided to you via the Platform and/or by email.

Trading Examples
Below are some examples to illustrate the variables for a typical Transactions and how they affect the calculations. The variables of your actual Transactions will of course differ, as these examples are for illustrative purposes only. These examples do not reflect any actual Transaction or market conditions and are not forecasts or projections of any particular Transaction.
(i) Example of going short and making a profit on share CFDs*:
You opened an account with us, with an opening balance of $10,000
Day one:
Opening a Position
Calculation
Account Display
The price of CFD on Facebook share is $120.88 (bid price)/ $121.33 (offer price)
You sell 100 Facebook share CFDs at the bid price of $120.88
100 x $120.88 = $12,088.00
$10,000
(opening equity)
The Initial Margin requirement for this trade equals the number of CFDs multiplied by trade price multiplied by the margin rate for this CFD, which is 10%.
$12,088.00 (see above) X 10% (margin rate) = $1,208.00
In this example, you were right in predicting Facebook will go down, and would have made $900 profit. However, if your prediction was wrong and the price of Facebook had moved in the opposite direction by an equal amount, your loss would have been (-) $900. Please see the example below for how this loss is calculated.

100 x $120.88 = $12,088.00
$10,000
(opening equity)
The Initial Margin requirement for this trade equals the number of CFDs multiplied by trade price multiplied by the margin rate for this CFD, which is 10%.
$12,088.00 (see above) X 10% (margin rate) = $ 1,208.00

(iii) Example of going short on share CFD with margin call*:
You opened an account with us, with an opening balance of $2,000
Day one:
Opening a Position
Opening a Position
Opening a Position
The price of CFD on Facebook share is $120.88 (bid price)/ $121.33 (offer price)
You sell 100 Facebook share CFDs at the bid price of $120.88

Your free equity is your total equity less your margin requirement.
$12,088.00 (see above) X 10% (margin rate) = $ 1,208.80
$ 2,000 (opening balance)-
$ 1,208.80 (Initial Margin requirement) = $791.20
$791.20
(free equity )
You decided to hold the position overnight. The closing price for Facebook Share CFD for the day was $120.88, the same as your sell price.
Day two:
At 11:30 a.m. New York time, because of better than expected earnings announcement, the Facebook share had risen to $135.88
Unrealised loss:
($120.88 – $135.88) x 100 = $-1,500.00
New Equity Balance:
$ 2,000- $ 1,500.00=$500
$500
(total equity)
Your account is marked to market at the current market price which will change your account balance
New Margin Requirement:
100 x $135.88 x 10% =$1,358.80
Current free equity:
$500 (total equity) – $1,358.80 (New Margin Requirement) = -$858.8
-$858.8
(free equity)
As your Free Equity has fallen into a debit balance, you would now be on a Margin Call.*
$858.8 margin call*
In this example, your Total Equity Balance fell below your Margin Requirement, your account will be placed on Margin Call. When your account moves into deficit you have two options. You can either reduce your position in order to reduce your Margin requirement or deposit additional funds into your account in order to increase the equity amount and satisfy the Margin Call.
When you are in Margin Call you are not allowed to open any new positions. Further Margin Calls will be made if the price of Facebook keeps going up during the day. Please refer to the following example.
