We shall treat you as a retail client for the purposes of the FSC Rules. You have the right to request a different client categorization.

You act as principal and not as agent (or trustee) on behalf of someone else.
1.4 Commencement: This Agreement supersedes any previous agreement between you and us on the same subject matter, and takes effect when you signify acceptance of this Agreement. This Agreement shall apply to all Transactions contemplated under this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the clauses of this Agreement and the terms of any other material distributed by us the clauses of this Agreement shall prevail.
1.5 Subject to Applicable Regulations: This Agreement and all Transactions are subject to Applicable Regulations so that: (i) if there is any conflict between this Agreement and any Applicable Regulations, the latter will prevail; (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or restrict any obligation which we have to you under Applicable Regulations; (iii) we may take or omit to take any action we consider necessary to ensure compliance with any Applicable Regulations; (iv) all Applicable Regulations and whatever we do or fail to do in order to comply with them will be binding on you; and (v) such actions that we take or fail to take for the purpose of compliance with any Applicable Regulations shall not render us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents liable.
1.6 Market action: If a Market (or intermediate broker or agent, acting at the direction of, or as a result of action taken by, a Market) or regulatory body takes any action which affects a Transaction, then we may take any action which we, in our reasonable discretion, consider desirable to correspond with such action or to mitigate any loss incurred as a result of such action. Any such action shall be binding on you. If a Market or regulatory body makes an enquiry in respect of any of your Transactions, you agree to co‐ operate with us and to promptly supply information requested in connection with the enquiry.
1.7 Scope of this Agreement: This Agreement sets out the basis on which we will provide services to you. This Agreement governs each Transaction entered into or outstanding between us on or after the execution of this Agreement.
1.8 Charges: You shall pay our charges as agreed with you from time to time, any taxes imposed by any competent authority on any account opened or Transaction effected by or cleared for you; any fees or other charges imposed by a Market or any clearing organisation; interest on any amount due to us at the rates then charged by us (and which are available on request); and any other value added or other applicable taxes of any of the foregoing, including any withholding tax. We will notify you of our current charges. Any alteration to charges will be notified to you before the time of the change.
1.8.1 Inactive Account Fee: We will charge a monthly fee for any accounts which have had no “activity” for 13 consecutive months. By activity we mean no new trades placed or rollovers on existing open positions. The monthly inactive account fee is $USD 10.00 per calendar month. This means that the first possible account maintenance fee (for inactive accounts) would be debited from your account 13 months from the last activity as defined above. This fee will never be applied to accounts that are in debit and if the credit balance is less than the fee amount i.e. balance of $USD5.00, we would only charge the amount which would zero out the balance on the account, and never create a debit balance from a credit balance.

If we advise you that your proposed course of action is not suitable for you but you nevertheless wish to proceed with the Transaction, we will only accept your order on an execution‐only basis. In such circumstances, we will inform you at the time that we will execute your order on that basis. We may proceed with the Transaction even when you are acting contrary to our advice.

We shall be authorised to follow instructions notwithstanding your failure to confirm them in writing.

We shall carry out an order on your behalf only when the relevant Market is open for dealings, and we shall deal with any instructions received outside Market hours as soon as possible when that relevant Market is next open for business (in accordance with the rules of that Market). You agree that we may execute an order on your behalf outside a Market. When you give us a specific instruction, our order execution policy will not apply, and we may be unable to take the steps described in such policy to obtain the best possible result in executing your order. You confirm that you have read and agree to our order execution policy and best execution policy contained in the Schedule to this Agreement. We will notify you of any material changes to our order execution policy, but it is your responsibility to check for any other changes to our order execution policy as published from time to time at www.tradelogicfx.com.

the clients. They will be honored at the executable price after the market opens.

We shall not give you prior notice if we arrange for a Transaction to be executed in this manner.
5.9 Aggregation of orders: We may combine your order with our own orders and orders of other clients. By combining your orders with those of other clients, we must reasonably believe that this is in the overall best interests of our clients.

5.12 Intermediate brokers and other agents: We may, at our entire discretion, arrange for any Transaction to be affected with or through the agency of an intermediate broker, who may be an Associate of ours. Neither we nor our respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable to you for any act or omission of an intermediate broker or agent. No responsibility will be accepted for intermediate brokers or agents selected by you.

In the absence of fraud or gross negligence on our part, we’re not liable to you for any loss, cost, claim, demand or expense that you incur or suffer (including loss of profits or indirect or consequential losses), arising from or connected with a Material Error, including where the Material Error arises from an information service that we rely on. 6.3 If we, acting reasonably, believe that you’ve manipulated our prices, our execution processes or the Trading Platform, we may in our sole and absolute discretion do the any of these things (or a combination of them) without your consent:
- enforce the CFD against you if you owe money to us under the CFD;

7.11.6 Markets: We shall not be liable for any act taken by or on the instruction of a Market, clearing house or regulatory body.
7.12 Suspension or permanent withdrawal with notice: We may suspend or permanently withdraw an Electronic Service, by giving you 10 days written notice. We will notify you of this action by the medium specified in your account application. The following process would apply in relation to suspension and subsequent closure of your Account:
7.12.1 during the notice period (if any):
7.12.2 we will not close your open trades or limit / stop loss orders already placed (unless we are otherwise entitled to do so i.e. you request that we do so via telephone);
7.12.3 you will not be able to place any new trades or Orders nor to give any other instruction, except insofar as necessary to close a trade or to cancel an Order in place before the start of the notice period. In particular you will not be entitled to place a closing trade or any Order in such a size that would result in a new trade being opened;
7.12.4 all trades will be closed and all Orders cancelled on the same day that your Account is closed (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter);
7.12.5 all trades will be closed at the Tradelogicfx Ltd. price;
7.12.6 we can effect closures at any time, but closure will generally be
effected approximately one hour before the close of the Underlying or our trading hours for the Market in question;
7.12.7 once your Account has been closed you will no longer be entitled to place any trades or Orders or to otherwise deal on your Account.
7.13 Immediate suspension or permanent withdrawal: We have the right, unilaterally and with immediate effect, to suspend or withdraw permanently your ability to use any Electronic Service, or any part thereof, without notice, where we consider it necessary or advisable to do so, for example due to your non‐compliance with the Applicable Regulations, breach of any provisions of this Agreement, on the occurrence of an Event of Default, network problems, failure of power supply, for maintenance, or to protect you when there has been a breach of security. In addition, the use of an Electronic Service may be terminated automatically, upon the termination (for whatever reason) of (i) any license granted to us which relates to the Electronic Service; or (ii) this Agreement. The use of an Electronic Service may be terminated immediately if an Electronic Service is withdrawn by any Market or we are required to withdraw the facility to comply with Applicable Regulations.
7.14 Effects of termination: In the event of a termination of the use of an Electronic Service for any reason, upon request by us, you shall, at our option, return to us or destroy all hardware, software and documentation we have provided you in connection with such Electronic Service and any copies thereof.
7.15 Idle Prices: We have an agency execution model and automatically cover all client positions with executing brokers and liquidity providers. On rare occasions the aggregated price feed which we provide to clients can become “idle”. We reserve the right to reverse market or instant orders are executed where idle prices have been struck. These cases will be investigated by us and the client advised via e‐ mail or telephone where possible to notify the client of the trades being cancelled. We will always check to ensure that the reversal does not result in an unintended position being generated i.e. if the order is executed and subsequently reversed to open a position, any subsequent order(s) closing this position would also be reversed leaving the net P&L at zero so the client is not disadvantaged by this reversal due to our onward transmission of invalid prices.
7.16 Misquotes: We have an agency execution model and automatically cover all client positions with executing brokers and liquidity providers. Although we mitigate the risk of invalid prices feeds reaching clients through utilizing a price aggregation system which generates a price from multiple liquidity providers (typically in excess of 10 liquidity providers), there are rare occasions where the prices can become “skewed”. In such rare instances if orders are filled at these prices, we reserve the right
to reverse orders where idle prices have been struck. These cases will be investigated by us and the client advised via e‐mail or telephone where possible to notify the client of the trades being cancelled. We will always check to ensure that the reversal does not result in an unintended position being generated i.e. if the order is executed and subsequently reversed to open a position, any subsequent order(s) closing this position would also be reversed leaving the net P&L at zero so the client is not disadvantaged by this reversal due to our onward transmission of invalid prices.
7.17 Stale quotes and misquotes policy Tradelogicfx Ltd. quoted prices may on rare occasions become “stale” or “skewed”. Tradelogicfx Ltd. reserves the right to cancel orders executed on idle or skewed prices. Tradelogicfx Ltd. will actively monitor/report and investigate such trading activity and in the event that trades are being cancelled will notify the client accordingly.
Tradelogicfx Ltd. will pursue the fair treatment of its Customers and will use its best endeavours to make sure cancellations are performed fairly and that the client is not disadvantaged by the cancellation i.e. no inadvertent positions are left open and the client’s net position is in line with the client’s positions at the time of correction.
7.18 Scalping and EAs policy:
7.18.1 In order to ensure the stability of the Tradelogicfx Ltd. platforms and Products, Scalping strategies (we define “Scalping” as a method traders use where they open and close trades within 2 minutes for FX and Metals and 5 minutes for CFDs , and these Scalping trades constitute more than 25% of total trades) and EA strategies (an “EA” is an “Expert Advisor”, which is add‐on software linked to a Meta Trader currency platform, and allows for automatic trades under certain conditions) are allowed on special accounts only.
7.18.2 In order to make Scalping/EA trading available clients have to submit a request and acknowledge that they will confirm in advance that they wish to use scalping/EA during account opening or before starting to implement such a strategy. Tradelogicfx Ltd. reserves the right to reverse orders that are executed using Scalping/EA methods on accounts that are not labeled as Scalping/EA accounts or where the necessary advance confirmation has not been given. Tradelogicfx Ltd. will pursue the fair treatment of its Customers and will use its best endeavours to make sure cancellations are performed fairly and that the client is not disadvantaged by the cancellation i.e. no inadvertent positions are left open and the client’s net position is in line with the client’s positions at the time of correction.

8.3 Unless the Customer has notified the Company in writing to the contrary, the Company may hold Segregated Funds on the Customer’s behalf in a Segregated Account or pass money held on the Customer’s behalf to an intermediate broker, settlement agent or OTC counterparty located outside the region. The legal and regulatory regime applying to any such person will be different from that of the region and in the event of the insolvency or any other equivalent failure of that person, the Customer’s money may be treated differently from the treatment which would apply if the money was held in a Segregated Account in the region. The Company will not be liable for the solvency, acts or omissions of any third party referred to in this clause.
8.4 The Customer agrees that, in the event that there has been no movement on the Customer’s Trading Account Balance for a period of at least six years (notwithstanding any payments or receipts of charges, interest or similar items) and the Company is unable to trace the Customer despite having taken reasonable steps to do so, the Company may release any Customer’s money balances from the Segregated Account.
8.5 Reconciliations: The Company will carry out reconciliations of records on a daily basis, and any required transfer to or from the Segregated Account will take place by the close of business of the business week that the reconciliation is performed. This reconciliation will include determining the amount of funds which will be held with outside of segregation with an Executing Broker(s) “Client Transaction Account” for the purposes of daily P&L settlement, and to provide margin for trading the “active accounts”. These monies are not treated as
“Client Money” per the rules and regulations. All “inactive” account monies will be held in Segregation per the Client Money Rules as defined by the rules and regulations. The Company reserves the right to carry out such reconciliations and transfers more frequently, should the Company reasonably consider that this is necessary to protect the Company’s or a Customer’s interests.
- MARGINING ARRANGEMENTS
9.1 Contingent liability: Where we effect or arrange a Transaction involving an option, future or contract for differences you should note that, depending upon the nature of the Transaction, you may be liable to make further payments when the Transaction fails to be completed or upon the earlier settlement or closing out of your position. You will be required to make further variable payments by way of margin against the purchase price of the investment, instead of paying (or receiving) the whole purchase (or sale) price immediately. The movement in the market price of your investment will affect the amount of margin payment you will be required to make.
9.2 Margin call: You agree to pay us on demand such sums by way of margin as are required from time to time under the Rules of any relevant Market (if applicable) or as we may in our discretion reasonably require for the purpose of protecting ourselves against loss or risk of loss on present, future or contemplated Transactions under this Agreement.
9.3 Failure to meet margin call: Please note that in the event that you fail to meet a margin call, we may close out the position unless we have previously granted you a loan or credit in accordance with Applicable Regulations.
9.4 Form of margin: Unless otherwise agreed, margin must be paid in cash. The currency of the cash margin you pay to us shall be the currency of the relevant underlying Transaction (if applicable) or as we may in our discretion reasonably decide from time to time. Cash margin is paid to us as an outright transfer of title 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.
9.5 Non‐cash margin: Where we agree to accept noncash collateral, it must be in a form acceptable to us. The value of the non‐cash collateral and the proportion of that value to be taken into account for margin purposes shall be determined by us in our absolute discretion. 9.6 Set‐off on default: If there is an Event of Default or this
Agreement terminates, we shall set‐off the balance of cash margin owed by us to you against your obligations (as reasonably valued by us) to us. The net amount, if any, payable between us following such set‐off, shall take into account the Liquidation Amount payable under the Clause headed “Netting” of this Agreement.

13.4.3 we shall treat each cost or loss to us, determined as above, as a positive amount and each gain by us, so determined, as a negative amount and aggregate all of such amounts to produce a single, net positive or negative amount, denominated in the Base Currency (the “Liquidation Amount”).
13.5 Payer: If the Liquidation Amount determined pursuant to this clause is a positive amount, you shall pay it to us and if it is a negative amount, we shall pay it to you. We shall notify you of the Liquidation Amount, and by whom it is payable, immediately after the calculation of such amount.

BEST EXECUTION AND ORDER EXECUTION SCHEDULE
TRADELOGICFX LTD. is required to implement an Order Execution Policy and a Best Execution Policy in order to obtain the best results for its clients. The aim of this document is to provide our clients with the appropriate details of these policies in accordance with the rules and regulation requirements and in order to extend to our clients a transparent overview to our business practices.
Tradelogicfx Ltd. has put in place Order Execution Policy and Best Execution Policy with a view to provide the best possible results to our clients depending upon the circumstances and market conditions on a best endeavour basis. These policies take into consideration the relevant execution factors with due diligence paid to their comparative importance.
BEST EXECUTION 1. Scope
Tradelogicfx Ltd. understands there to be a duty of Best Execution owed to the client when orders are executed having arisen from either contractual or agency obligations, on the client’s behalf. The duty is not owed when Tradelogicfx Ltd. offers prices at which it will be prepared to buy or sell nor when Tradelogicfx Ltd. provide a quote in answer to such a request.
- Discretion
The general market understanding is that the best possible results for a client would be determined by the price and/or the liquidity of the market. However, Tradelogicfx Ltd. may decide, in their absolute discretion, that in certain circumstances, other factors e.g. the need for timely executions of the order are more important in determining the best possible results. This may depend on the type of order, the financial instrument or the market involved.
ORDER EXECUTION 3. Order Capture
Tradelogicfx Ltd. will endeavour to execute the order received in a prompt, fair and expeditious manner, ensuring that potential conflicts of interest between clients or between the client and Tradelogicfx Ltd. are managed effectively. Where there is a lapse of time between Tradelogicfx Ltd. first quote and the client’s acceptance which causes delay or in the case that the market conditions have changed, Tradelogicfx Ltd. will still be within its rights to execute the order; provided the quote is not significantly out of date and that it still would have met the best execution requirements.
- Order Handling
Tradelogicfx Ltd. records and executes otherwise comparable orders sequentially and timed to coincide with receipt of the order unless the characteristics of the order or market conditions make it impractical to do so; or if the client’s interests demand otherwise. Orders received in a different media cannot be termed otherwise comparable.
- Order Allocation
Depending upon the circumstances, market conditions and order size, Tradelogicfx Ltd. may aggregate the client order with those of other clients or transactions on behalf of Tradelogicfx Ltd. This aggregation is not considered to compromise the client interest although some disadvantage, in relation to a particular order, may occur. In the case of such aggregated orders being partially executed, Tradelogicfx Ltd. will allocate the executed orders in terms of its Order Allocation Policy.
- Execution Venues
Tradelogicfx Ltd. executes client orders at various execution venues. Selecting the execution venues to provide the best execution for the client requires consideration of the relative importance of the execution factors depending upon the characteristics of:
- The client order;
- The financial instrument involved; The execution venues and;
- The client classification.
The execution factors that Tradelogicfx Ltd. consider are:
- Price;
- Costs;
- Speed of Execution;
- Probability of execution and settlement;
- Size of order;
- Nature of order and;
- Other relevant consideration to the execution of the order.
Tradelogicfx Ltd. monitor the execution venues and other execution arrangements regularly for their effectiveness and consistency in providing best results.
- Methods of Execution
Depending upon circumstances, Tradelogicfx Ltd. may execute orders outside Regulated Markets or Multi-
Lateral Trading Facilities (‘MTFs’). Tradelogicfx Ltd. believes restricting the execution of orders to Regulated Markets and MTFs may adversely affect the quality of the execution and liquidity. By signing this agreement, you expressly consent to our executing your orders outside Regulated Markets and MTFs.
- Client Limit Orders
We are required to publish limit orders given by you should we not be able to execute your order immediately.
- Specific Client Instructions
Where you provide Tradelogicfx Ltd. with specific instructions in relation to your entire order, or any aspect of your order, for example a preferred execution venue, Tradelogicfx Ltd. will execute your order in accordance with your instructions, and to that extent Tradelogicfx Ltd. will not owe you a duty of best execution. To the extent that your specific instructions relate to only one or some aspects of the order, Tradelogicfx Ltd. will determine any unspecified aspects in accordance with its Order Execution Policy. You should be aware that where you provide Tradelogicfx Ltd. with specific instructions in relation to the execution of your order, you may prevent Tradelogicfx Ltd. from following some or all of the steps in our Order Execution Policy to obtain the best possible result for you in respect to those aspects affected by your instructions.
While we take all reasonable steps based on the resources available to us and depending upon the market conditions and circumstances as then prevalent to enable us to provide best possible results to you, we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to provide best execution to each and every order executed on your behalf particularly where you give us specific instructions as to all or part of your order.
- Tradelogicfx Ltd. Commitment
Tradelogicfx Ltd. commitment to provide you with Best Execution does not mean that we owe you any fiduciary responsibility over and above the specific regulatory obligations placed upon us or as may be otherwise contracted between us.
- Client Consent
We are required to obtain your consent to our Best Execution Policy and other matters as outlined above. We will consider that you have consented to agreeing such Best Execution Policy by your placing an order with us on, or after the publishing date of these Terms and Conditions. We are however required to obtain your express consent for execution of your order outside Regulated Markets or MTFs and for exercising our judgement in the matter of publishing your Limit Orders.
