11    ROLLOVER AND OFFSET INSTRUCTIONS

11.1         In the absence of timely instructions from you, we are authorised, at our absolute discretion, to roll over or offset all or any portion of the positions in your accounts or to make or receive delivery on your behalf upon such terms and by such methods deemed to be reasonable by us in our sole discretion and without having regard to your particular situation and needs.

11.2         We will automatically roll over all open positions on your account to the following business day unless you notify us to close your position(s) prior to 12 AM. (GMT). You may be charged or receive roll over interest in respect of each rolled over position. The amount of roll over charged or received will depend on several factors; namely, the currency pair or commodity held; the size of the position; and whether the position has been bought or sold. You are able to view the roll over amount directly through the PROfit trading platform. If you trade from a MetaTrader 4 account or the iPhone Application, then you are able to obtain a list of current roll over rates by contacting us.

12    CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS

12.1           If you enter into any currency Transaction via the online facility:

a.     any loss arising from a fluctuation in the exchange rate affecting a currency is entirely at your risk; and

b.     you authorise us to convert funds in your account into and from foreign currency at a rate of exchange determined by us on the basis of our reference rate (which has regard to the then prevailing money market rates). We will not be liable to you for any loss you suffer as a result of any currency conversion (although we will use reasonable endeavours to convert only those funds prudently required to cover the position in the relevant Transaction).

12.2      If you make any payment to us in relation to this agreement in a currency other than that in which such amount was payable, you indemnify us from and against any cost (including costs of conversion) or loss we suffer as a result of receiving such amount in a currency other than the currency in which it was due.

13    CLIENT MONEY

13.1         Before any orders can be accepted or executed via the online facility you will be required to deposit an amount of money into an account held with us (account). The amount and currency of this deposit will be notified to you from time to time, including prior to you accepting this agreement or prior to you making an order.

13.2         The money in your account will be held by us in a trust account with a bank or a cash management trust in accordance with the Corporations Act.

13.3         You waive the right to any interest on funds deposited in your account.

13.4         For money deposited in our client trust account, you acknowledge as part of our terms and conditions that:

·          Individual client accounts are not separated from each other;

·          All clients’ funds are co-mingled into the one client trust account;

·          The client money provisions in the Corporations Act 2001 may not insulate any individual client’s funds from a default in our client trust account if such a default were to occur. Such a default may arise from any clients’ trading i.e. by a client failing to pay for all losses incurred on their account; and

·          Assets in the client trust account belonging to non-defaulting clients are potentially at risk, even though they did not cause the default. However, in the case of ForexCT, no default by any client is likely to occur on the basis that we have implemented systems and procedures whereby the potential loss for any one client is limited to the amount deposited into their account with us (refer Section 2.1 under the heading “Potential Loss” for additional detail as to how ForexCT guarantees this). Thus, no client will be in a position where they incur a loss in excess of the amount they have deposited with us and accordingly, no client can become a debtor to ForexCT and default on the payment of that debt. Although generally assets in the client trust account belonging to non-defaulting clients are potentially at risk, even though they did not cause the default, this is not the case with ForexCT.

13.5         Notwithstanding clause 13.4, you are still exposed to the risk that you may not receive all money owed to you, if there is a deficiency in the client trust account, and ForexCT becomes insolvent or otherwise unable to meet the deficiency. It is possible that the hedging counterparty used by ForexCT may become insolvent and fail to return client money that ForexCT has lodged with them to meet its hedging obligations.

13.6         ForexCT is entitled to withdraw, deduct or apply any amounts payable to ForexCT under the terms of this agreement, the PDS or the Corporations Act.

13.7         We are permitted to use money belonging to a client to meet the margin obligations of other clients and our own positions. Thus, one client’s money deposited in the client trust account may be used to satisfy obligations arising from dealing on behalf of another client (or ForexCT) which exposes each client to counterparty risk i.e. the risk that they may not receive all of the money held by us on their behalf in the client trust account if there is a deficit in the client trust account and we become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay the deficiency.

13.8         You will automatically receive notification by email and pop-up message when you execute the following actions:

·          Opening a trade

·          Closing a trade

·          Changing the stop loss

·          Changing the take-profit

·          Depositing funds

·          Withdrawing funds

·          Placing an order

 

 

14   QUOTING AND EXECUTION ERRORS

14.1   If quoting or execution errors occur, to the extent permitted by law we will not be liable for any resulting losses or damage. Any dispute arising from such quoting or execution errors will be resolved by us in our sole and absolute discretion. Quoting or execution errors include, but are not limited to: a mistype of a quote, a quote or trade which is not representative of fair market prices, an erroneous price quote from us, such as but not limited to an erroneous quote due to failure of hardware, software or communication lines or systems and/or inaccurate external data feeds provided by third-parties.

15    ARBITRAGE, SCALPING, AND GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

15.1      Internet, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where the prices displayed on our trading screen do not accurately reflect market rates. The concept of arbitrage, or taking advantage of these internet delays, cannot exist in a market where the client is buying or selling directly from the market maker. We do not permit the practice of arbitrage on our online facilities. You acknowledge and agree to this and we rely on your acceptance of this. If we determine that Transactions individually or together reasonably appears to rely on price latency arbitrage opportunities, we may revoke those Transactions without further liability to you. To give effect to this, we may make necessary or prudent corrections or adjustments on the account involved. Any dispute arising from such apparent arbitraging will be resolved by us in our sole and absolute discretion.

15.2      We have no obligation to contact you to advise upon appropriate action in light of changes in market conditions or otherwise. You acknowledge that the foreign exchange and commodity markets are highly speculative and volatile and that, following execution of any Transaction, you are solely responsible for making and maintaining contact with us for the purpose of monitoring your positions and ensuring that any further instructions are given on a timely basis. If you fail to do so, we can give no assurance that it will be possible for us to contact you and we accept no liability for loss alleged to be suffered as a result of any failure by you to do so.

15.3   Scalping is prohibited. Any Transaction made which, in our absolute discretion, is determined to be in contravention of this prohibition may be revoked at our sole discretion.

15.4   You may not trade in currency pairs which from time to time we may determine in our absolute discretion, for 2 minutes before and after a Critical News Release.

15.5   We may from time to time determine minimum withdrawal amounts with respect to your accounts.

15.6   You are prohibited from allowing any other person to access any of your accounts or trade on your accounts on your behalf unless that other person has properly completed an Authorised Person Form and submitted it to us.
