3.4. If any Transaction is not closed-out by the Client prior to 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time on the business day such spot Transactions are entered into, TPTRADES will automatically rollover such spot Transactions to the next Value Date with adjustments made to take account of interest rate differentials between the currencies in the relevant currency pair, the direction of the trade and any storage or other fees that are applicable to the Account. A Transaction confirmation with respect to such rollover will be provided to the Client in accordance with Clause 13.1. If there are insufficient funds available in the Account to meet the interest rate adjustment costs of any Transaction, we may in our absolute discretion either close out the prior open Transaction or we may make a Margin Call on you in accordance with Clause 4.3. TPTRADES will not normally make Margin Calls on a Client which is a user of the Web Platform.

3.5. TPTRADES normally quotes bid prices (at which the Client can offer to sell) and offer prices (at which the Client can offer to buy) for each Transaction. These prices are determined by TPTRADES based on prices quoted in the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market for spot forex Transactions and for CFD Transactions and are based on prices quoted on the markets on which the underlying security, commodity or other instrument is traded. The difference between the lower, bid, price and the higher, offer, price is the spread For some Transactions spreads may change frequently. In any event TPTRADES has the right to vary its spreads at any time in its absolute discretion without notice.

3.6. Prices quoted by TPTRADES are set by TPTRADES in its absolute discretion. The Client may only offer to enter into a Transaction at the price currently quoted by TPTRADES. A price may change or cease to be valid at any time after it has been quoted and before the Clients offer to enter into a Transaction is accepted. Reference is also made to Clauses 9.2.2 and 9.2.3 below.

3.7. TPTRADES may provide a Market Execution service to you. If offered, you warrant that trades executed at market execution spreads can widen significantly and are affected by actual market conditions, which are beyond TPTRADES™ control. The prices quoted by us will reflect what we perceive as the market price in an Instrument at that time as opposed to the indicative price you see on the platform at the time of your request for execution. We do not guarantee any maximum or minimum limits to the quoted spreads. In some circumstances, the spreads may not be representative of the examples given in the product information contract specification. At times of high volatility or dependent on the volume size of your trades, your trades will be executed at the next available price subject to slippage. Quotes for Market Execution are filled with minimum or no re-quotes, or in some instances it may not be possible to arrange an order for execution. Stop or Limit orders may also be affected by this. You acknowledge that each Transaction entered into must not result in exceeding any credit or other limit placed on your account. Transactions which the Client may offer to place are subject to maximum limits established in TPTRADES™ absolute discretion from time to time by Notice provided to the Client from time to time via the Trading Platform.

3.8. We shall be entitled to rely on and act in accordance with any instructions, requests and notices (whether or not in writing and howsoever communicated) which we believe in good faith to emanate from you, an agent or a person duly authorized to instruct us or transact on your behalf.

3.9. It is possible that errors may occur in the prices quoted by us. In such circumstances, without prejudice to any rights either we or you may have under common law, neither you nor us will be bound by any Transaction which purports to have been made (whether or not confirmed by us) at a price which was, or ought reasonably to have been, known to either you or us to be materially incorrect at the time of the Transaction.

3.10. If at any time you are unable for whatever reason, to communicate with us we shall not be responsible for any resultant loss, damage or cost except where your inability to instruct us or communicate with us resulted from our fraud, willful default or gross negligence.

3.11. It is not possible to rollover all expiring CFD Transactions to the next contract month. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with CFD Transactions specifications and expiry dates and times, at your risk. If you do not close open positions in respect of an expiring CFD Transaction on or before the last trading day, subject to Contract Specification notification, we will automatically close your open positions as soon as we have established the Settlement Price of the expiring CFD Transaction.

3.12. The Settlement Price of the expiring CFD Transaction, will be (a) the last traded price at or prior to the close or the applicable official closing quotation or price in the relevant underlying market as calculated and stated by the relevant exchange; and (b) any Spread that applies to your account when such an expiring CFD Transaction is closed.

3.13. Details of the Spread that we apply when a particular expiring CFD Transaction is closed at the Settlement Price will be determined (a) by your account type; and (b) based on the standard Contract Specifications which are available upon request. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the Contract Expiry Notification and any Spread that we may apply when we close your Transaction.

3.14. In order to maintain the adequate capacity of the TPTRADES trading platforms, you agree that you will not enter into any Transactions on our platforms which fall within our definition of Scalping. TPTRADES defines scalping as a trading strategy whereby profits are returned by taking advantage of internet latencies, delayed prices caused by technical issues or other conditions, or where both buy and sell orders are entered at, or nearly at the same time. Scalping is considered a serious breach of our Terms and Conditions, and as such, TPTRADES may in its absolute discretion close out, replace, reverse any Transactions or close out the Account with immediate effect.

3.15. TPTRADES does not guarantee that the placement of a Stop Loss will fully protect against excessive losses being incurred on your account. Stop Losses are intended to reduce risk. You should maintain adequate levels of free margin in your account to maintain open positions at all times.

3.16. In accordance with our regulatory obligations, we have categorized you as a retail client and therefore we have provided your account with additional investor protections in the form of an added negative balance protection mechanism across all your accounts. Our negative balance protection mitigates trading losses that exceed your account equity during volatile market conditions by automatically resetting negative account balances back to zero. TPTRADES reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to look across all your accounts and draw down on trading credits if available or reduce in strict proportion to losses incurred when resetting negative account balances back to zero, and by offsetting any deficit amounts from positive amounts before processing any withdrawals. It is possible that errors may occur, such as your account balance remaining in deficit. In such circumstances, please contact our Customer Services Team at [email protected].

4. Margin Requirement

4.1. As a condition of the entry into each Transaction for the Account, the Client must provide and maintain in the Account sufficient margin as determined by TPTRADES in its sole discretion from time to time. It is also the Clients responsibility to ensure that each Transaction in the Account is fully margined at all times. If at any time the Account is short of margin, TPTRADES may either give the Client a Notice from time to time (Margin Call) or close all open contracts without prior notice if in our absolute discretion the circumstances so warrant. Margin Calls will not normally be made by telephone but we reserve the right to do so.

4.2. Our margin requirements are set out on our Website and it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand how a Margin is calculated. During the lifetime of any CFD, we, in our absolute discretion, reserve the right to review and adjust the percentage of funding required or the rates at which interest is calculated on such CFD, with or without notice to you, especially in, but not limited to, volatile market conditions (see also 4.5 below). The margin requirement for an open position may increase or decrease at any time until the open position is closed. Spot positions that are open overnight may be adjusted to reflect the cost of carrying the position over. Details of such adjustments are available on our Website.

4.3. When the Account is opened, the Client will transfer into the Account a first margin deposit of not less than such minimum amount as may be established by TPTRADES from time to time and notified to the Client. Such first deposit may be made by bank transfer or credit card payment or such other method as may be agreed between TPTRADES and the Client. Such first deposit together with subsequent margin deposits made by the Client from time to time and any profits and losses from existing open and closed Transactions, credits and debits from daily rollovers, and charges from commissions, if applicable, shall serve as the guarantee for the performance of Transactions in the Account.

4.4. Unless otherwise agreed, margin must be paid in cash. Cash margin is paid to us as an outright transfer of funds and you will not retain any interest in it. Cash margin received by us will be recorded by us as a cash repayment obligation owed by us to you.

4.5. TPTRADES may, in its absolute discretion at any time change the minimum margin requirement or make a Margin Call requiring the Client to make further margin deposits in the Account. The Client shall if requested by TPTRADES, make further margin deposit.

4.6. We reserve the right to change the way in which we calculate Margin Requirements at any time, for example, and without limitation, in response or anticipation of the following:

  • Economic news;
  • Changes in volatility or liquidity of the underlying market, or general financial markets;
  • A changing in your dealing patterns;
  • Your exposure being concentrated in a particular underlying market;
  • Any changes in applicable regulations

4.7. We will not accept any third-party payments made in respect of funding your account. Similarly, we will not pay out any funds from your account to any third party.

5. Margin Close-Out Level

5.1. If the Margin Level for your Account reaches or falls below the Margin Close Out Level, this will be classified as an Event of Default under clause 15. In such circumstances we may, among other things, (i) close all or any of your Open Positions immediately and without notice, and/or (ii) refuse to execute new Trades until your Margin Level exceeds the Margin Close Out Level. It is your responsibility to monitor your Account(s) at all times and to maintain your Margin Level above the Margin Close Out Level. We will close your Open Positions at Our Price prevailing at the time when your Open Positions are closed.

5.2. The Margin Close Out Level applicable to your Account will be equal to the Margin Requirement applicable to your Account unless we alter your Margin Close Out Level. We may alter the Margin Close Out Level applicable to your Account at any time without any prior notice.

6. Market Abuse

6.1. Market abuse includes transactions where both buy and sell orders are entered at, or nearly at the same time, with the same price and quantity by the same party, or different but colluding parties, other than for legitimate reasons, unless the transactions are legitimate trades carried out in accordance with the rules of the relevant trading platform (such as crossing trades).

6.2. By trading with us you are likely to be subject to various market abuse regimes. Accordingly, you must not carry out any trading activity on the basis of inside information or carry out any trades in order to create a distorted market or misleading impression in relation to the price of financial instruments.

You undertake to familiarize yourself and comply with any Applicable Regulations concerning the short sale of securities if you seek to execute a CFD or Financial Spread Bet Trade with a short securities position which we may hedge with a short sale of securities you will ensure that your use of the Electronic Service will not result in a breach by us of any Applicable Regulations concerning the short sale of securities.

6.4. We may hedge our liability to you by opening analogous positions with other institutions or in the Underlying Market. The result of our doing this is that when you open or close a Transaction relating to a Financial Instrument with us, your Transactions can, through our hedging, exert a distorting influence on the Underlying Market for that Instrument, in addition to the impact that it may have on our own prices. This creates a possibility of market abuse and the function of this Term is to prevent such abuse.

6.5. For the purpose of complying with legal and regulatory obligations we may in our absolute discretion, and without being under any obligation to inform you of our reason for doing so, close any Trades that you may have open and may, if we so elect, treat all Trades closed under this clause 6 as void.

6.6. We will treat all your Transactions that meet the circumstances set out in this Term as void if they are Transactions under which you have secured a profit, unless and until you produce evidence that satisfies us that you have not, in fact, committed the breach of warranty and/or misrepresentation the suspicion of which was the ground for us taking action under this Term. For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not produce such evidence within the period of three months from the date on which action is taken by us under this Term, all such Transactions will be finally null and void as between you and us; or

6.7. You acknowledge that it would be improper for you to deal in the Underlying Market if the sole purpose of such a transaction was to impact on our bid or offer prices, and you agree not to conduct any such transactions.

6.8. You will not use any device, hardware, software, algorithm, strategy, collusion or deception, the use of which is intended, whether directly or indirectly, to cause or influence us to provide our Platform or accept any trade in a way in which or on terms on which we would not otherwise do so.

6.9. Any form of abusive behavior is strictly probited. The ahusive trading are, including but not limited pricing abuse, swap-free abuse, latency abuse, scalping abuse, commission abuse, system error abuse, cred/bonus abuse, promotion abuse, multiple accounts abuse, etc. (a) Pricing Abuse The Client may engage in market manipulation tactics by inflating or deflating prices on specific exchanges to influence the value of underlying assets. These traders might strategically place orders with TP Trades either concurrently or in advance, intending to capitalize on the resulting price discrepancies and benefit from the manipulation of pricing.

6.10. Unlawful trading techniques: Internet, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where the price(s) displayed on our Online Trading Facility do(es) not accurately reflect the market rates. The concept of using trading strategies aimed at exploiting errors in prices and/or concluding trades at off-market prices and/or by taking advantage of internet delays (commonly known as "arbitrage", "sniping" or "scalping" hereinafter, collectively, referred to as “Arbitrage"), cannot exist in an OTC market where the client is buying or selling directly from the principal; accordingly, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, NOT to permit the abusive exploitation of Arbitrage on our Online Trading Facility and/or in connection with our Services; any Transactions or Contracts that rely on price latency arbitrage opportunities may be revoked, at our sole discretion and without prior notice being required; furthermore, in those instances, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice being required:

  1. (a)to make the necessary corrections or adjustments on the Account(s) involved (including, without limitation, adjusting the price spreads available the client);
  2. (b) to restrict the Account(s) involved access to streaming, instantly tradable quotes (including. without limitation, providing manual quotations only and submitting any Orders to our prior approval);
  3. (c) to retrieve from the Account(s) involved any historic trading profits that we can document as having been gained through such abuse of liquidity at any time during the client relationship;
  4. (d) to terminate the client relationship and/or close all Accounts involved (including, without limitation all other Accounts held by the same Account holder with us) immediately by by giving written notice; and/or (e) to inform any interested third parties.

7. Withdrawal from and Closing of the Account by the Client

7.1. The Client may request TPTRADES to permit withdrawal from the Account. In calculating the amount available for withdrawal, TPTRADES will take into account the balance in the account where the withdrawal is requested and the balance/s in other account / accounts maintained by the customer minus trade credits (provided by TPTRADES for trading only) in all accounts. All withdrawal requests should be made in writing and in a form acceptable to us. Without prejudice to any rights of TPTRADES under this Agreement, TPTRADES shall transfer such excess amounts (if any, and as determined by TPTRADES in its sole discretion), less any applicable Bank or other transfer fees, according to the Client's instructions within seven (7) Business Days from the date of receipt of the applicable written instruction. For the avoidance of doubt any such transfer by TPTRADES is subject to (i) applicable laws and regulations including but not limited to anti-money laundering, tax authorities requirements for deduction at source and exchange control foreign currency transfer restrictions, and (ii) the Client providing full identification documentation as required by TPTRADES.

7.2. If the Client wishes to withdraw excess funds (calculated as explained in clause 7.1 above from the Account) and close the Account, the Client shall do so by notifying TPTRADES.

8. Charges & Commissions

In such an event, the Commissions will be charged to the Account. Commissions and charges may be changed from time to time. Your approval may not be always sought. If any charges are not expressed in money terms (but for example as a spread), the Client should ask for a written explanation, including appropriate examples, to establish what such charges are likely to mean in specific money terms. Further information in respect to costs and charges are provided in an aggregated form on the Companys Website (expressed in both as a cash amount and as a percentage) as well as within the Companys Terms of Business, which constitutes part of this Agreement. The Company is in a position to provide you with an itemized breakdown of costs and charges upon your request. The respective request should be addressed to [email protected].

8.2. Spreads: Prices quoted to you by TPTRADES will include a spread, mark-up, or mark-down when compared to prices that TPTRADES may receive or expect to receive if it were to cover your transactions with, for example, a trade in the forex interbank market. The spread is dynamic and may factor in the liquidity in the external markets and the competitor pricing. Our spreads are set at our absolute discretion, since we are acting as a market maker, and any changes are effective immediately. Further details in regards to the spreads applicable for each Financial Instrument are specified on our Website.

8.3. Rollover Fees: As per the provisions of Clause 3.5 of this Agreement, in case where any Transaction is not closed-out by the Client prior to 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time on the business day such Transactions are entered into, TPTRADES will automatically rollover such Transactions and charge the applicable fee.

The currency conversion rates used are determined by TPTRADES in its sole discretion on the basis of the then prevailing exchange rates.

8.6. Additional Costs: You should be aware of the possibility that other taxed or costs may exist that are not paid through or imposed by the Company. It is your sole responsibility to bear these additional costs.

8.8. TPTRADES may, at its sole discretion, decide to make changes to the charges and commissions applicable to your account from time to time without prior notice to you. In such an event, these changes apply to each Transaction entered into or deemed outstanding between TPTRADES and the Client.

9. Regulatory Provisions

9.1. Client Money

  1. (a) We have categorized you, by default and unless otherwise specified and agreed between you and us, as a retail client and therefore in accordance with applicable law and subject to clauses 9.1b and 9.1c we will place an amount equal to your Total Equity minus your Trading Credits (as and if available and as and if displayed on the platform) into a client money bank account. We will deal with your money in accordance with the FCAs Client Money rules and guidance, which require us to hold it in a client bank account, separating your funds from ours. Such money may be held by a bank with other clients money in a pooled client account.
  2. (b) We will exercise all due skill, care and diligence in selecting a third-party bank to use to hold Client Money and will periodically review the adequacy and appropriateness of any bank where your money is deposited, in accordance with the Client Money Rules.
  3. (c) We will carry out reconciliations at the close of business on each Business Day between money required to be held in the client money bank account and money that may be held on our own account in accordance with the FCA Rules, and any required transfer to or from the client money bank account in respect of your Account will take place on the following Business Day. We may carry out such reconciliations and transfers more frequently, should we reasonably consider that this is necessary to protect our or your interests.
  4. (d) We may hold funds you pay to us in unbreakable deposits (UDs) ranging from thirty (30) days duration but not exceeding ninety-five (95) days Long Term Deposit Account. The risk of placing client money in a Long-term Deposit account is that in the event of the firms insolvency the process of pooling off client money cannot start until the account has matured. Only an appropriate proportion of client money will be held in such UDs, and all such amounts will continue to comply with the FCA Client Money rules at all times. The Company does not believe that this increases the liquidity risk of the Company in a significant manner.
  5. (e) You agree that we may cease to treat money held on your behalf as client money and release it from our client money bank account(s),
  6. i. if you have no positions and have not placed a trade in the previous six (6) years, and we have been unable to contact you. Such money will, however, remain owing to you and we will make and retain all records of all balances released from client money bank accounts under this clause and will undertake to make good any valid claims against such released balances.
  7. ii. If any amounts owed by you to us under the Agreement are due and payable to us, in accordance with the Client Money Rules we shall cease to treat as Client Money so much of any Client Money held on your behalf as equals those amounts. You agree that we may apply that money in or towards satisfaction of all or part of those amounts due and payable to us. For the purposes of this clause, any such amounts owed by you to us under this Agreement become immediately due and payable, without notice or demand by us, when incurred by you or on your behalf.
  8. (f) We will not pay interest to you on any money held on your behalf or otherwise under clauses 9.1a, 9.1b or 9.1c and by entering into this Agreement you acknowledge that you therefore waive any entitlement to interest under the Client Money Rules or otherwise. Security interests, liens or rights of set-off are granted by the Company and are recorded within the Companys own accounts so as to ensure that the ownership status is clear, in the event of insolvency.

9.2. Order Execution

  1. 9.2.1. TPTRADES acts as the market maker and matched principal to all Transactions executed by you with TPTRADES in that TPTRADES, as facilitator, interposes itself between the buyer and the seller to the transaction in such a way that it is never exposed to market risk throughout the execution of the transaction, with both sides executed simultaneously and the transaction is concluded at a price where the facilitator makes no profit or loss, other than a previously disclosed commission, fee or charge for the transaction.

  2. 9.2.2. Transactions may only be executed during the time when the relevant Exchange where the Instrument is traded is open for business. TPTRADES's Trading Hours are displayed on our Website under the Product Specifications Section for each Instrument which may or may not be the same as the Trading Hours of the relevant Exchange.

Any Transaction for the Account remaining open at 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time on the business day such Transactions were entered into are rolled over and adjustments are made to take account of interest rate differentials between the currencies in the relevant currency pair, the direction of the trade and any storage or other fees that are applicable to the Account.
  11. 9.2.11. Liquidity can affect order execution. When customers place a high volume of orders, order imbalances and backlogs can occur, requiring more time to execute orders. This is because of delays caused by the number and size of orders processed, the speed at which current quotations or last-sale information is provided, and system capacity constraints.
