Margin mechanics
| Item | Published rule |
|---|---|

| NetTradeX custom liquidation | Clients may request a higher stop-out percentage or an equity amount at which all positions close.Source 5 |

Execution rules that affect an order
| Order type | Contractual treatment |
|---|---|
| Instant execution | A quote outside the permitted price deviation can trigger a requote requiring acceptance.Source 9 |
| Market execution | Fill at the available market price; a lack of requotes does not establish freedom from slippage.Source 9 |
| Limit orders | The Terms of Business provide the requested price or a better price.Source 10 |
| Stop orders | A market gap can result in execution at the first available price.Source 10 |
Overnight financing and Islamic accounts
Sections ↑The Terms of Business place FX rollover at 00:00 CET and describe a triple Wednesday-to-Thursday rollover. Individual swap rates can debit either direction and change over time. CFD trading is cash-settled price exposure without delivery of the underlying asset.[10]

| Feature | Terms and Conditions |

| Performance charge | Applies to net new asset-value gains; payable at manager-set daily/weekly/monthly intervals and on withdrawal/unsubscription.Source 29 |
| Volume charge | A separate USD-per-volume charge can apply to specified currency/metal groups on closed positions.Source 29 |

Protection claims and their limits

| Insurance | The global site advertises professional indemnity through Lloyd’s. A current policy certificate, investor compensation limit and covered claimant scope were not established here.Source 1 |
