In relation to our Shares Investing Account

The Company may act as principal or on a matched principal basis when providing you with the securities trading services. This means the Company will be the counterparty to Clients’ trades.

We execute your transactions outside a regulated market or an MTF. Whilst this approach allows us to consistently source the best price for your orders it brings with it a greater counterparty and settlement risk compared to trading on exchange.

As previously mentioned, the Company’s trading platform is not an exchange or a market. This means that you can only enter into trades and investments with us on the platform, and not third parties. Therefore, our services are limited to you buying a security on our platform, and selling that security on our platform. You will not be able to transfer the securities out of your account, including for the purposes of selling that security on another platform or to another person.

In respect of transactions executed on a share investing account, execution in shares can be effected ‘on exchange’ or ‘at quote’. With regards to certain type of shares, typically small and micro caps, this ‘request for quote’ methodology of execution is the only one available for electronic execution. Settlement and counterparty credit risk exist in this method of execution. This means you could experience delays in settlement as well as non-delivery where the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations because of market structure deficiencies or insolvency.

We execute your orders as soon as reasonably practicable, but sometimes there will be a delay between when we receive your order and when we are able to execute it. Where a delay occurs, there may be a difference between the market price of the securities that you were quoted and the market price on the exchange, which may or may not be to your benefit. The exchange is not required to accept your order and is not required to execute your order at the price that you were quoted.

Each order that you make is binding on you even where you have exceeded any limit on our platform, and you must pay any sums/commissions due on any transaction immediately once the transaction has been entered into.

One of the fundamentals of the Company is to obtain on a consistent basis the best possible result for the execution of your orders. When we execute orders on your behalf, we will take all sufficient steps to achieve the best possible result for you according to our order execution policy and subject to any specific instructions received from you. Our Order Execution Policy comprises a set of procedures that are designed to obtain the best possible execution result for you subject to and taking into account (a) the nature of your transactions, (b) the priorities you have identified to us in relation to entering into those transactions, and (c) the practices relating to the market in question, with the aim of producing a result which provides, in our view, the best balance across a range of sometimes conflicting factors.

In the presence of a material difficulty, the Company will ensure that it informs a retail client about any significant difficulty relevant to the proper carrying out of the relevant transaction promptly upon becoming aware of the difficulty. Nevertheless, you are responsible for monitoring your orders until they are confirmed or cancelled, as we may not provide you with explicit written notification.

9. PRICING

The Company may act as a Principal in relation to clients’ Transactions and as an execution venue. The Company will quote prices at which it is prepared to deal with the Client. Save where:

The Company may in its sole discretion and without prior notice to the Client immediately cease the provision of prices in some or all currency pairs and for some or all value dates at any time.
  4. When the Company quotes a price, market conditions may move between Company’s sending of the quote and the time the Client’s order is executed. Such movement may be in Client’s favour or against it. Prices that may be quoted and/or traded upon, from time to time, by other market makers or third parties shall not apply to trades between the Company and the Client.

10. LEVERAGE

Margin and Leverage

Following the formal adoption of measures on CFDs by The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), all retail clients that demonstrate the appropriate knowledge and experience during the registration process shall have the following maximum leverage settings on their account:

  • 30:1 for major currency pairs;
  • 20:1 for non-major currency pairs, gold and major indices;

  • 5:1 for individual equities and other reference values;
  • 2:1 for cryptocurrencies;

This will standardise the percentage of margin (at 50% of minimum required margin) at which CIFs are required to close out one or more retail client’s open CFDs; In general, the margin close-out rule applies on an account basis across all open CFD positions in a client’s account based on 50% of the initial margin required. This includes positions with a guaranteed stop loss order or limited risk protection.

Negative Balance Protection

The Company offers negative balance protection to all retail clients in the event that a negative balance occurs in the clients’ trading accounts due to stop out and/or extremely volatile market conditions will make a relevant adjustment to cover the full negative amount.
