  5. Leverage

    1. Leverage obtainable in CFDs trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small movement in the markets can result to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment and this can work against you as well as for you. CFD Transactions have an inherent risk and you should be aware of what the implications of this are.
    2. Leverage restrictions may apply on certain products or jurisdictions as it is imposed by the relevant industry practices or regulatory requirements accordingly. In addition, it should be noted that the Company will continuously monitor the Leverage applied to Clients' positions and reserves the right to amend the Account's Leverage depending on the Clients' trade volume and trading patterns.
    3. The Client thus accepts, acknowledges and understands that the automatic reduction of Leverage in her Account could result in the Account Equity falling below the updated Margin requirements, which could result in a Margin Call or Stop Out. The Client is therefore strongly advised to maintain appropriate amount of Margin in his Account(s) at all times in the event of an automatic reduction of the Account's Leverage.
    4. The Company may also add to or change its Leverage Limitations at any time without prior notice to be given to Clients.

  6. Margin Trading

    1. CFDs are margin products and the transactions related to them will be done on Margin. This means that the Client must supply a specified initial Margin, on agreement, of the overall Contract value.
    2. If the Account Equity falls below the Margin requirement, the Trading Platform will trigger an order to close all open positions. When positions have been over-leveraged or trading losses are incurred to the point that insufficient Equity exists to maintain the current open positions,a Margin Call will result, and open positions will need to be liquidated.
    3. The Margin Call process is entirely electronic and there is no discretion applied from the Company as to the order in which open trades will be closed.
    4. It is strongly advised that Clients maintain the appropriate amount of Margin in their Accounts at all times. Margin requirements may vary based on Account size, simultaneous open positions, trading style, market conditions and the discretion of the Company.
    5. The Client thus accepts, acknowledges and understands that:
      • The Company does not check whether the Transactions of this nature are appropriate to his financial situation;
      • Before deciding to trade on Margin he should carefully consider his investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite;
      • The Company sets freely the amount of Margin, the assets that may be used as collateral and the extent of any collateral such assets may provide;
      • All the Client's assets are therefore blocked and pledged in this connection;
      • The Company may also change its rates of initial Margin and/or notional trading requirements at any time without prior notice, which may result in a change to the Margin the Client is required to maintain;
      • Taking into consideration the low Margin normally demanded for these Transactions, price variations in the underlying asset may result in major losses, which could significantly exceed the investment and Margin deposit committed by the Client;
      • The Client may be required to provide a Margin at very short notice to avoid the risk of having his positions closed and realizing a total loss;
      • If the Client fails to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, the position(s) may be liquidated at a loss and the Client will be liable for any resulting deficit;
      • In certain cases, price changes may be so drastic that the Client's positions may be closed without any period allowed for him to restore his Margin;
      • The Company provides the Client with online access to enable the Client to monitor his Margin requirement at all times;
      • ThePremarkets is not responsible to notify the Client when there is a Margin Call on his Account;
      • The Margin Calls are made by the Company directly through the online Trading Platform only and the Client has the possibility to see on his Account the existing assets and Margins.
      • During the time period from 23:50 to 01:00 server time may increased spreads and decreased liquidity can take place due to daily bank rollover. The above time may differ for certain instruments. In case of inadequate liquidity/spreads during bank rollover, widened spreads and excessive slippage may occur. Also fully hedged accounts might also experience stop-outs due to increase in spreads which leads equity to go below zero, and hence trigger a stop out.
      • Trading will cease between 23:58 and 00:05 server time, in order to avoid huge spikes in spreads and/or stop out.

  7. Risk Warning

    1. The Client unreservedly accepts, acknowledges and understands that CFDs trading:
      • can be highly speculative;
      • carry a high level of financial risk, as they are subject to excessive price fluctuations which may cause substantial losses;
      • in the case of CFDs with underlying asset a virtual currency, there might be sudden changes in prices of certain instruments. This can happen during economic events or market announcements or geopolitical events, news, or even due to adverse media or fake news. Gaps can occur when markets open or close or even during normal trading hours. If the market is closed when these factors occur, the opening price of the underlying asset can be substantially different from the closing price, giving you no opportunity to close your trade in-between. Pricing gaps can result in losses. Therefore, CFDs on virtual currencies may be subject to large price fluctuations and in some instances, due to the early stages of their lifecycle, they may lose entire value.
      • the losses may include all of the Client's investment and also any additional commissions and other expenses;
      • is only suitable for persons who are able to cope with the associated risks by bearing the financial losses;
      • the Company does not guarantee the capital of the Client's Account or its value at any time or any money invested in any Financial Instrument;
    2. When trading in CFDs, the Client is trading on the outcome of the price of an Underlying Asset and that trading does not occur on a regulated market but over-the-counter (OTC). The Client accepts that ThePremarkets is the only execution venue, which is a non-regulated market.
    3. Since virtual currencies are trading on various exchanges worldwide (non-centralized), and since we derive our pricing from certain exchanges, our pricing might be significantly different than prices from other exchanges. You should understand the above, and maintain your account balance accordingly, knowing that our prices can be different from prices observed elsewhere.
    4. ThePremarkets shall not be responsible for any loss arising from any investment based on any recommendation, forecast or other information provided. Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices, or other information contained on this Website are provided as general market commentary, and do not constitute investment advice. The Company will not accept liability for any loss or damage, including without limitation to, any loss of profit, which may arise directly or indirectly from use of or reliance on such information.
    5. The contents of any report provided should not be construed as an expressed or implied promise, as a guarantee or implication that Clients will profit from the strategies herein, or as a guarantee that losses in connection therewith can, or will be limited.

  8. Client's Account

    1. The Client shall open an Account with the Company to be able to trade in CFDs offered by the Company.
    2. The Client does not intend to use his Account for payment of transactions to third parties.
    3. The Client understands that no physical delivery of a CFD's underlying asset that he has traded through his Account shall occur. All CFD contracts can only be settled in cash. The prices of these instruments are derived from the underlying assets or currency pairs related to these CFDs, but in no way you are acquiring any right for delivery of the underlying asset/currency. Moreover, engaging in trading CFDs with underlying asset a virtual currency pair, and due to high volatile nature of these pairs, you might be exposed to higher risks than trading the assets themselves or trading other CFDs with other underlying assets.
    4. In order to open an Account, a Client should undertake the following steps:
      • Complete the ThePremarkets online application form, which can be found on the Company's website www.thepremarkets.com.
      • After completing the form, the client should verify their email address by clicking on the link sent to his email.
      • At this stage the client will be redirected to the secure portal in order to upload the following documents.
      1. Identification document (Passport or ID card). For an identification document to be considered valid it needs to CLEARLY INDICATE photograph, signature, personal details, issue and expiry date place and date of issue, and serial number; and
      2. Proof of address (utility bill, current local authority tax bill, etc). For a proof of address to be considered valid, it needs to be dated within the last 6 months.

      Once these documents have been uploaded and successfully reviewed by the back-office team, the account will be approved. Until these documents have been approved, the account will have a “pending” status and will be treated as Not Verified.

    5. If the Client is unable to upload these documents, the documents can be sent via email following the submission of the online application form. In the event that the Client cannot send the necessary documents by email, the Company will accept them by fax or post, however, email still remains the preferred method.
    6. In certain circumstances the Company can accept deposits up to a total amount of 2,000 USD or currency equivalent while the account is still pending approval. The Client has 14 calendar days to provide the required documents (as specified in clause 8.1). In the event that the required documentation is not provided and approved during the stipulated period, the following will occur:
      • Any and all account balances will be returned to the wallet, minus any profit or loss.
      • Any and all open positions on MT4 or MT5 will be closed.
      • The Client will not be able to open any new positions on MT4 or MT5.
      • The Client's account will be set to read-only until such time as they upload and verify their proof of address and ID documentation.
    7. ThePremarkets offers its Clients “negative balance protection”. This means that traders cannot lose more than the overall size of their investment. In this respect, ThePremarkets will bear the costs associated with settling the negative Account balances to NIL. However, it should be noted that the Company reserves the right to unilaterally lift this protection and recover the negative balance from the future deposits of Clients who are repeatedly employing high risk trading strategies i.e. overleveraging, with a result their account to close negative in more than one time.
    8. If the Client has opened more than one Account, the Company shall be authorized to consider and treat these different Accounts as a single unit. Among other rights that the Company has in the way of handling these Accounts, is the transferring of funds between Accounts to cover possible negative balances, of any of these Accounts, without this affecting in any way the right of the Company to terminate the Account or close all Client's open positions.
    9. Any funds received in a currency for which the Client does not hold a sub-Account shall be converted by the Company into the Client's Account Base Currency. The conversion will be made at the exchange rate prevailing on the day and at the time when the relevant funds are at the disposal of the back- office department of the Company. Upon request, the Client may open a sub-Account in any other of the Base Currencies offered by the Company.
    10. The Company permits each Client to open up 1 VIP Black account per user or a maximum of five (5) Accounts for the VIP, Standard or Signature account, to accommodate the Client's needs for the below possible scenarios:

      • The Client places a “Market Order” which is an Order instantly executed against a price 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 Company will cancel any Orders that remain non-executed for three months from the date the Order was placed.
    6. The Client will have the right to change the communication method he uses with the Company at any time and the Company shall not make any checks in relation to this, and accepts these two communication methods.
    7. The Client confirms that he is aware of the risks associated with using these communication methods, in particular the risks that could result from a fault or a misunderstanding at the time instructions are transmitted. The Client declares that he assumes responsibility for all consequences that could result there from.
    8. The Company shall not incur any liability by refusing to carry out orders given by a person whose identity has not in its opinion been sufficiently verified.
    9. The Client shall be responsible for all orders and for the accuracy of all information sent via Internet following the use of the Client's name, his password or any other personal identification method set up to identify the Client, regardless of who the actual user is. Any person who identifies himself in accordance with the Client's identification methods shall be considered as being authorized to use the Company's services. The Company shall consider such orders or communications as having been authorized and issued by the Client. It is the Client's responsibility to keep passwords confidential and to prevent unauthorized use of his passwords and his Trading Terminals.
    10. For the orders placed in writing, the Company will verify the Client's signature with the sample signatures lodged with the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any fraud and/or lack of identification that it has not been discovered.
    11. Prior to any transfer order, the Company may request an original written confirmation duly signed by the Client.
    12. For orders placed by telephone, the Company will verify the Client's identity and then transmit the order. The Company has the right not to transmit the order if the actions of the Client are not clear and do not include all the required data.
    13. Orders received by the Company in any means other than through the Trading Platform, will be transmitted by the Company to the Trading Platform and processed in the same way as though it was received through the Trading Platform.
    14. Any order sent by the Client via the Trading Platform shall only be considered as having been received, and shall not constitute a valid instruction and/or a Contract between the Company and the Client, until the instruction has been registered as executed by the Company and con- firmed to the Client by means of a Transaction confirmation.
    15. The Company bears no responsibility for delays or errors occurring during the transmission of orders or other communication messages via computer, for the accuracy of information received via computer or for any loss that may be incurred by the Client as a result of the inaccuracy of this information.

      • If the order aims at manipulating the market of the specific Financial Instrument;
      • If the order aims to legalize the proceeds from illegal acts or activities (i.e. money laundering).
    18. The Client needs to be aware that the Company will refuse to accept or it may cancel any orders placed and/or executed via the Trading Terminal without any notice if it comes to its attention that the logic behind those orders is to abuse the whole system (i.e. use of specific expert advisors to generate volume by opening and closing positions at the same price) in or- der this way to gain unfairly benefits for the Client and which is beyond the traditional cope of fair trading.
    19. The Company, at its own discretion and without notice, might impose on an account or instrument basis a limit on the Net Open Position. The company has the right to reject to open any new positions if the result after opening the positions would increase the Net Open Position of a certain instrument above the limit set.
    20. The Client understands that reports and confirmations of order executions, cancellations or modifications may be erroneous for various reasons. Such confirmations are also subject to change at the Company's discretion, in which case the Client shall be bound by the actual order execution, so long as it is consistent with the Client's order. In the event that the Company confirms an execution or cancellation in error and the Client unreasonably delays in reporting such an error more than 24 hours, the Company reserves the right to require from the Client to accept the trade, or remove the trade from the Client's Account, in the Company's sole discretion.

  19. Safeguarding of Client's Money

Unless otherwise agreed with you in writing, the Company will deal with any funds that we hold on your Account in accordance with the relevant provisions of “Safeguarding the Clients' Money.” All amounts handed over by the Client to the Company or which the Company holds on behalf of the Client, for the provision of Investment Services, shall be held in the name of the Client and/or in the name of the Company on behalf of the Client in a Client E-Wallet Account. This means that your funds will be segregated from our own money and cannot be used in the course of our business.
    2. ThePremarkets may hold your money and the money of other Clients in the same Client E-Wallet Account (omnibus account). In this case we are able to identify your money through our back office and accounting system.
    3. We may pass on Clients' Money to a third party (e.g. a market maker or liquidity provider, merchant, e-wallet, intermediate broker, OTC counterparty or clearing house) to hold or control in order to effect a Transaction through or with that person or to satisfy your obligation to provide collateral (e.g. initial Margin requirement) in respect of a Transaction. We carry out annual risk assessments of all regulated third parties we work with, however we have no responsibility for any acts or omissions of any regulated third party to whom we pass money received from you. The third party to whom we pass money may hold it in an omnibus account and it may not be possible to separate it from our money, or the third party's money depending on the third party's regulatory provisions. In the event of an insolvency or any other analogous proceedings in relation to that regulated third party, we may only have an unsecured claim against the regulated third party on behalf of you and our other Clients, and you may be exposed to the risk that the money received by us from the regulated third party is insufficient to satisfy the claims of you and all other Clients with claims in respect of the relevant account. The Company accepts no responsibility for any funds not deposited directly into the Company's E-Wallet Accounts, for losses (directly or as a result of) due to delays and/or failures to deposit/remit funds through affiliated and/ or third parties.
    4. As long as the Margin required on the Client's Account for maintaining his open Transactions with ThePremarkets, the Client agrees that the Company has the right to transfer ownership of this Margin from the Client to the Company, to be maintained by the latter as security and be returned by the Company to the Client on closing of the Client's Transactions. In this case, the Margin will be considered as a debt due by the Company to the Client and not as Client Money, therefore it could be used by the Company subject to the repayment obligation.
    5. Client Money are kept off balance sheet and cannot be used to pay back the Company's creditors in the unlikely event of the Company's default. In addition, the Company will not be liable for any failure or insolvency of any financial institution in which Client Money are held, however, applicable investor compensation or deposit protection schemes may protect a proportion of the money in default.
