What type of financial services can Forex CT provide?
Forex CT is authorised to:
· provide financial product with respect to derivatives and foreign exchange contracts;
· deal in derivatives foreign exchange contracts; and
· make a market for foreign exchange contracts and derivatives.
These services are all wrapped up in our on-line foreign exchange trading platform. Via our on-line trading platform we act as the counterparty on foreign exchange contracts which clients can access by entering into “day trading” transactions using our website. A “day trading” transaction is a currency exchange deal which renews automatically every night at 22:00 (GMT time) starting the day the deal is made and continuing until it ends.
Before you make use of our on-line foreign exchange trading platform you must be provided with a copy of the Product Disclosure Statement relating to the platform and foreign exchange contracts traded on it.
We do not provide personal financial product advice. This FSG does not constitute a recommendation or opinion that the products referred to in this FSG are appropriate to you.
Our service does not provide a market amongst or between clients for investments or speculation. Each product purchased (or sold) by you is an individual agreement made between you and us as a principal and is not transferable, negotiable or assignable to or with any third party.
When we enter into a foreign exchange contract with a client via our on-line trading platform we do so as a principal.
How are we remunerated for the services we provide?
The contract prices (or the payout amounts) offered to clients hedging, trading or speculating on market prices may differ substantially from prices available in the primary or underlying markets where contracts are traded. This is due to the spread we include in the price of the foreign exchange contract offered to you. A spread is the difference between the rate at which we buy and sell foreign exchange contracts, and will depend on factors such as the value of the transaction and prevailing market rates. We act as a market maker and not a broker and make our earnings from the spreads embedded in the currency rates we offer our clients.
This spread is incorporated into the rates quoted to you and is not an additional charge or fee payable by you.
Our employees receive salaries and commissions. The commissions are based on the individual employees total clients’ volume of the trades transacted.
We may, from time to time, have relationships with other financial services providers and as a result may be entitled to remuneration.
