2.1.2. “Sell Stop” – expects to open a Position to sell at a lower Quote than the current one at the

2.1.3. “Buy Limit” – expects to open Position to buy at a lower Quote than the current one at the

2.1.4. “Sell Limit” – expects to open a Position to sell at a higher Quote than the current one at the

2.1.5. “Stop Loss” – expects to close a previously opened Position at a Quote less profitable for the
Client than the current Quote at the moment of Order placement;
2.1.6. “Take Profit” – expects to close a previously opened Position at Quote that is more profitable
for the Client than the current Quote at the moment of Order placement.
2.1.7. “Buy Stop Limit” - when the Quote reaches a certain level (stop price), a Buy Limit order is
activated. This order allows the Client to buy the Underlying Instrument at a Quote equal to or
lower than the Quote specified in the Order.
2.2. In order to close the Position, the following Orders may be used:
2.2.1. “Stop Loss” is an order to close a previously opened Position at a Quote less profitable for the

the Client than the price at the moment of placing the Order.
2.2.3. “Sell Stop Limit” when the Quote of the Underlying Instrument falls to the Stop Price, a Sell
Limit Order is activated. This Order allows the Client to sell the Underlying Instrument at a Quote
equal to or greater than a Quote specified in the Order.

2.4.7. when you offer to open a Contract, an Event of Default must not have occurred, nor must you
have acted in such a way as to trigger an Event of Default;
2.4.8. when you offer to open or close out any Contract, the opening of the Contract must not result in
you exceeding any credit or other limit placed on your dealings with us;
2.4.9. during market opening, the Order shall not be sent before the Trading Platform receives the first
Quote;
2.4.10. when you place the Order, do not take place in irregular market conditions;
2.4.11. the Client has a sufficient Margin;
2.4.12. unless the Customer has made an unreasonable number of requests compared to the number
of transactions.
2.5. We may refuse to accept an Order (including but not limited to any Order that relates to black-
box trading, scalping, or any similar trading practices), in our absolute discretion and for any
reason, place a limit on any Order or impose other conditions on the acceptance of any
instruction or Order.
2.6. We may at any time use, add, and change filters within the Trading Platform to prevent the
delivery or execution of Orders. We will notify you of any refusal or limitation as soon as
reasonably practicable unless we are prevented from doing so by law or by an order from a
regulatory authority.
2.7. We reserve the right to refuse an Order larger than the Maximum Trading Size. Our Quote for a
Contract equal to or greater than the Maximum Trading Size is not guaranteed to be within any
specific percentage of any Underlying Market or related market quotation, and our acceptance
of your Order may be subject to special conditions and requirements that we will notify you at
the time we accept your Order.
2.8. We will use reasonable endeavors to affect any instructions to cancel or amend Orders as
quickly as possible. If, however, an Order is filled prior to a cancellation or amendment
instruction being effected, you are obliged to accept the Contract on the original terms prior to
your amendment or cancellation instruction unless the Contract is itself canceled or amended.
2.9. Unless otherwise specified in these Trading Conditions, all Orders will remain open until either
canceled by you or purged by the Trading Platform. We do not accept responsibility for
reinstating lapsed Orders or contacting you to seek new instructions.
2.10. The Client can cancel the sent Order only while it is in the queue with “Order is accepted” status.
In this case, the Client should press the “Cancel order” button. Due to the specifics of the Trading
Platform, Order cancellation cannot be guaranteed in this case.
Order execution
2.11. In case of Price Gaps, the Order execution is determined according to the following rules:
2.11.1. If the "Take Profit" level of the pending Order is in the Price Gap during Order opening, once the
Order is opened, Take Profit settings will be annulled. In such a case, a note is added to the
comments (tp canceled/gap);
2.11.2. “Take Profit” Order with a level in the Price Gap is executed at the stated in the Order Quote;
2.11.3. “Stop Loss” Order with a level in the Price Gap is executed at the first Quote after a Price Gap.
In such a case, a note is added to the comments (sl gap/slip);
2.11.4. “Buy Stop” and “Sell Stop” pending Orders are executed at the first Quote after the Price Gap.
In such a case, a note is added to the comments (started gap/ slip);
2.11.5. “Buy Limit” and “Sell Limit” pending Orders are executed as stated in their Quotes. In such
cases, a note is added to the comments (started/gap);
2.11.6. In case a Price Gap is over 300 pips and profits are recorded on it, the Company reserves the
5
right to limit profit for such an Order by 300 pips. In certain cases, with small Price Gaps Orders
may be executed in the standard mode stated in their Quotes.
2.11.7. Buy and Sell Orders are generally executed at the initial Quotes after the Price Gap. If the Order
is executed at a price valid before the Price Gap, the Company reserves the right to reconsider
the Order data and execute it at the initial Quotes after the Price Gap.
2.11.8. Buy and Sell Orders can be closed at the initial Quotes after the Price Gap.
2.12. Under regular market conditions, the Order will be executed by the Company at the price
specified in the Order.
2.13. If the Order is executed in irregular market conditions, the price at which the Order is executed
may differ from the one specified in the Order, either in favor of the Client or not. In this case,
the Order will be accompanied by the "slip" comment.
2.14. In case any two of the following conditions are met simultaneously on the Trading Account:
2.14.1. The Margin level does not exceed the consequent of the Leverage ratio currently set on the
Trading Account;
2.14.2. 60% or more of the total Position volume is placed at one Underlying Instrument and in the same
direction (sell or buy);
2.14.3. This part of the total Position has been formed within 24 hours period before the market closes;
The Company is entitled to set “Take Profit” for Orders, included in the total Position at the Ask
price level of market closing for the tool minus one point (for sell Orders) or at the bid price level
of the market closing for the tool plus one point (for buy Orders).
Allocation Policy
2.15. To the extent that it is reasonably practicable to do so, the Company will allocate all Contracts
(including Contracts effected pursuant to Orders placed on the Company’s account) in the
sequence in which the Company receives those Orders, subject to filters and compliance review
and to any delay or technical faults connected with or arising through the use of the Trading
Platform or any other delay that is outside the control of Company.
3. OPENING A TRADE
Opening a trade
3.1. You will be able to open or close a Contract and execute Orders on a trade opened with us via
the Trading Platform.
3.2. We will have no liability to you for any technical problems, including a loss of Internet connection,
resulting in you being unable to trade at any given price.
3.3. If our server records are different from your records or recollection of your trading, the version
of events recorded contemporaneously by our computer will prevail, and our obligations to each
other (including the obligation to pay any money) will be assessed and calculated on the basis
that our contemporaneous computer records are correct and are conclusive evidence of the
matters they record.
Orders execution
3.4. The BID price is used to open “SELL” transactions and close “BUY” transactions. ASK price is
used to close “SELL” transactions and open “BUY” transactions.
3.5. Your clicking ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ on the Trading Platform will send a message to us indicating that you
wish to trade on the Product indicated. This message will constitute an offer by you to buy or
sell at the price and trade size chosen. If we accept the trade, we will send you a Confirmation
on the Trading Platform to this effect. Your trade will not have been placed, and no Contract will
6
come into existence until a Confirmation is generated on the Trading Platform. You must wait
for the Confirmation to appear after clicking ‘buy’ or ‘sell’, and should you not receive the
Confirmation within two (2) minutes, you must notify us immediately.
3.6. If you do not receive a Confirmation and you do not notify us as required, you will be deemed to
have agreed only to the transactions recorded by us. Similarly, if you dispute the contents of any
Confirmation sent by us to you, you must notify us immediately upon receipt by email or
telephone; if you do not, the transactions recorded by us will be deemed to have been agreed
upon by you.
3.7. Subject to any other provision in these Trading Conditions, each Contract opened by you will be
binding on you notwithstanding that by opening the Contract you may have exceeded any credit
or other limit applicable to you or in respect of your dealings with us.
3.8. Once the server has received the Client’s instruction to open a position, it automatically checks
if the Free Margin is sufficient to open the Position:
3.8.1. A “Free Margin” is calculated as Free Margin = Equity - Margin.
3.9. If the calculations for the new position have been done and:
3.9.1. In the event the Free Margin is more or equal to zero, then the position is opened. The process
of opening the position is followed by the relevant record in the server Log-file.
3.9.2. In the event the Free Margin is less than zero, then the Company has the right to decline the
instruction to open the position, and a notification “No Money” will appear and be recorded in
the server Log-file.
3.10. An instruction to open Position shall be deemed executed, and the Position shall be deemed
open once the relevant record appears in the server Log-file.
Position Duration
3.12. Other than for excepted Contracts, the Position has no inherent limit to its duration and, subject
to the payment of Margin and other relevant sums, can continue indefinitely.
3.13. We may close any Position opened by you at the prevailing rate if there is an Event of Default.
Opposing Positions
3.14. You may run opposing Positions in a Product. Both Long and Short Positions will appear in your
Trading Account, and they will be treated as two open Contracts. However, we reserve the right
to net the value of the opposing Positions.
4. CLOSING A CONTRACT
When can a Contract be closed
4.1. The Contract may be closed out by selecting a Position in the Trading Platform and then closing
it (on the Trading Platform by clicking the “Close” button for that Position).
4.2. The following Orders “Stop Loss” and/or “Take Profit”, may be used for closing an order.
4.3. Processing Orders to close the Position:
4.3.1. If in the list of open Orders on the Trading Account, there are two or more Locked Positions,
while generating a request or an Order to close any of those, an option “Close by” appears in
7
the dropdown “Type” list. After choosing it, one or several open Positions in the reverse direction
appear. After marking the needed Position from the list, a button “Close#...by#...” is activated.
By pressing it, the Client closes locked Positions of equal volumes or partly closes two Locked
Positions of different volumes. In such a case, a more minor Position and a symmetric part of a
bigger one close, and a new Position in the direction of a bigger one between the two stays
open, thus receiving a new Ticket.
4.3.2. If in the list of open Orders on the Trading Account, there are two or more Locked Positions
while generating a request or an Order to close any of those, an option “Multiple Close by”
appears in the dropdown “Type” list.
4.3.3. After choosing it, a list of all Positions for the given tool appears, and a button “Multiple Close
By for…” is activated. By pressing this button, the Client closes all Locked Positions for the tool.
In such a case, a new Position(s) stays open in the direction of a bigger total volume, which
receives a new Ticket.
4.3.4. When the note about closing a Position appears in the Log file, this means that the Client’s Order
to close the Position has been processed.
4.3.5. If the Order to close a Position has been submitted for processing before a first Quote appears
on the Trading Platform at market opening, such an Order shall be declined by the Company.
In the Client terminal window, a message “No price” will appear. The Company is entitled to
cancel trade when the Client’s order to close a Position at a Quote of a previous day closes by
mistake. In such a case, the Company contacts the Client and informs them about it.
4.4. If a “Market execution” type is used for a trading tool, the Quote for closing an Order may differ
from the requested one.
4.5. We may exercise any of our rights under these Trading Conditions to close a Position at any
time.
4.6. Mandatory position closure:
4.6.1. If the Margin level is lower than 40% on the Trading Account, a Margin Call occurs. The
Company is entitled but not liable to close Client Positions. The decision to close Positions is
made by the Company.
4.6.2. The Company is entitled to mandatory closing of the Client open Positions without prior
notification of the latter one if a Margin level is less than or equal to 20% of the necessary Margin
for maintaining open Positions.
4.6.3. When, after a mandatory Position closure, the Trading Account has a negative Balance,
compensation is added to the Trading Account and noted in a Log file with the notification
Balance, which sets the Trading Account to zero. However, in exceptional cases (when the
Company considers the Client’s actions intentional), the Company reserves the right to claim a
debt payment from the Client.
Stop Out
4.7. The Company is entitled to close the Client’s positions without the Client's consent or prior notice
if the Margin level drops below 20% for all accounts.
4.8. The server monitors the Margin level by generating the Stop Out instruction to close a position
without prior consent. Stop Out is executed at the current Quote following the priority of the
queue.
4.9. Once the position has been closed, the relevant record appears in the server Log file with “Stop
Out.”
4.10. If the Client has several Open Positions, the first position that must be placed in the queue in
order to be closed is the one with the highest Floating Loss.
4.11. When the last Open Position is closed, and there is no Price Gap or Price Gap on the Market
Opening, the Company shall guarantee that the execution of Stop Out for the last position will
not result in Negative Equity (i.e., below zero) on the Client’s Trading Account.
8
4.12. Negative Balance protection is provided to all accounts held by the Company. In case the client
Balance goes negative after all positions close, the Company will cover the negative Balance
and will not request Clients to cover the required amount. However, in exceptional cases (when
the Company considers the Client’s actions intentional), the Company reserves the right to claim
a debt payment from the Client.
4.13. The Company reserves the right to close any Open Positions of the Client without a warning in
the event of a dispute.
4.14. We will not be responsible for any Loss you may suffer or incur in connection with any such
closing of your open Positions or any lack of closing thereof.
Rollovers (swap)
4.15. Rollover is the process of extending the settlement date of an open position (i.e., the date by
which an executed trade is due to be settled). The forex market allows two (2) business days
for settling all spot trades, which implies the physical delivery of currencies. In margin trading,
however, there is no physical delivery, so all open positions must be closed daily at the end of
the day (00:00 MT server time) and re-opened on the following Trading Day. This pushes out
the settlement by one more Trading Day. This process is called rollover.
4.16. We may allow open positions to be rolled over in accordance with your instructions. Rollover is
agreed on through a swap contract, which comes at a cost or a gain. We do not close and re-
open positions but shall charge you a fee in respect of each such Position and debit/credit your
Trading Account(s) for positions held open overnight, depending on the current interest rates.
As 00:00 MT server time is considered to be the beginning and the end of a forex Trading Day,
any positions that remain open at 23:59 (00:00 MT server time, except for the week of daylight
saving time and vice versa) sharp are subject to rollover and shall be held overnight. Positions
being opened at 00:01 MT server time are not subject to a rollover until the next day, but if you
open a Position at 23:59 MT server time, a rollover shall take place at 00:00 MT server time. For
each Position open at 23:59 MT server time, a relevant credit or debit appears in your Trading
Account usually within 1 hour and shall be directly applied to your equity.
4.17. The Rollover Fees that we charge shall be published on our Trading Platform. We shall attempt
to collect the respective Rollover Fees from the Balance of your Trading Account. In the event
that we are unable to collect such Rollover Fee(s) from the Balance in your Account, we reserve
the right to close part or all of your open positions. You shall be liable for promptly paying all
Rollover Fees(s), even if all Margin previously deposited by the Client has been lost.
4.18. In the absence of clear and timely received instructions from you, we are authorized, at our
absolute discretion, to offset all or any portion of the positions in your Trading Account(s) or to
make or receive delivery on your behalf upon such terms and by any methods deemed
reasonable by the Company.
5. SPREAD
5.1. Spread is the difference between the Bid and Ask prices of the Underlying Instrument.
5.2. In regular market conditions, the Company keeps the Spread within the range stated in the
Contracts specifications.
5.3. Spread can be increased:
5.3.1. For all Company Clients without prior notification in the event the conditions become different
from the regular ones; for all Clients with an obligatory prior update of Contracts specification
changes at the Website;
5.3.2. For all Clients without prior notification in Force Majeure Event;
5.3.3. For any request exceeding regular market volume for the tool stated in the Contracts
specification.
5.3.4. At the time of Market opening (on Monday) and Market closing, as well as at the time of low
market liquidity and when a market situation is conditional on high Spreads.
5.4. For the Underlying Instrument with fixed Spread or fixed commission, the Company reserves
the right to increase the Spread in case the Spread on the basic Contract exceeds the size of
us at our reasonable fixed Spread.
5.5. You acknowledge that our Spreads can widen significantly in certain circumstances, that they
may not necessarily be the same size as any examples given on the Website, in the Software
and/or in the Trader Area, and that there is no limit on how large they may be.
5.6. You acknowledge that when a Contract is closed out, the Spread may be wider or smaller than
the Spread when the Contract was opened. You acknowledge that such figures will be set by
us at our reasonable discretion.
6. SWAP-FREE ACCOUNT
6.1. Swaps are calculated according to the Contract Specification found on the Website, in the
Software and/or in the Trader Area.
6.2. In terms of exotics for Swap free accounts for long-term strategies, the Company charges a
fixed weekly commission starting from the second Sunday if the order wasn’t closed by that day.
The weekly commission is fixed and determined on the Website. This commission is not an
interest and depends on whether the trade is open to buy or sell.
6.3.1. the usage of a Swap Free Account for performing Arbitrage Orders; and/or
6.3.3. an inappropriate usage or purposeful usage of a Swap Free Account to make additional profits,
the Company reserves the right to revoke the Swap Free status granted to any real Trading
Account at any time without being obliged to provide any explanation or justification.
6.4. Furthermore, in the event that we detect any form of abuse, fraud, manipulation, or other forms
of deceitful or fraudulent activity in regard to any Swap Free Account, including those referred
to in clause 5.3. of the Client, we reserve the right, at any time and with immediate effect, to:
10
6.4.1. revoke the Swap Free status from any and all real Trading Accounts of the Client that have been
converted to a Swap Free Trading Account; and/or
6.4.2. correct and recover any un-accrued swaps and any related un-accrued interest expenses and/or
costs pertaining to any and all of such Client’s Swap Free Trading Accounts during the period
for which such Trading Accounts were converted into Swap Free Trading Accounts; and/or
6.4.3. close all Trading Accounts of such Client, nullify all trades carried out and cancel all profits or
losses garnered in such Client’s Trading Accounts.
6.5. Clients are not allowed to use Swap Free Accounts to make profits from Swaps and may not
request the payment of any swap amounts that have been lost as a result of converting their
real Trading Account(s) into one or more Swap Free Account(s) for the period during which their
real Trading Account(s) has/have been converted into one or more Swap Free account(s).
7. CENT ACCOUNT
A Cent Account can only be opened for the Client through the Partner's referral link. If the Cent
Account is opened for the Client, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
Initial deposit from $1
Commission from 0%
Leverage 1:1000
Please note that it is not indicated in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 that the amount is
displayed in cents. If you deposited $10, you would see $1000 in the Trading Account, which
actually means 1000 USD cents.
8. LEVERAGE
8.1. The Сlient has the right to change the Leverage at any time, including when the Trading Account
is in trading mode (when there are open Orders).
8.2. The Company is entitled to change the Leverage at any time without prior notification on any or
all of the Trading Accounts depending on the sum of Equity on each or all of Client's Trading
Accounts in accordance with clause 6.3. of the Trading Conditions.
8.3. The Company is entitled to apply clause 6.2. to already opened Positions as well as to reopened

8.5.3. 1:500 for US30, US100, US500;
8.5.4. 1:100 for stock CFDs.

has been opened, requiring a further payment for the Margin.

discretion, subject to the Aggregate Margin Close-Out Protection.
