(d) If you are on margin call during periods of increased volatility, or periods when there is an anticipation of increased volatility. (e) Going into the weekend, if your equity is below 100% of your margin requirement, your positions will be at an increased risk of being closed on a Friday evening.

We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that your successful payments are credited to your nominated Account, but only after the money has been received as cleared funds by us. However, if there is any inconsistency between your name(s) (as supplied to us by you) and the name on the bank account from which the payment originates, or if you do not correctly provide any other necessary details, the payment may be rejected and returned to the bank account or there may be a delay in crediting the payment to the Account.

In the event you have mistakenly made a card payment to your account you may request a refund of the payment. Similarly, if your account has been closed you may request a refund of the remaining balance. We will aim to process refunds within 3-5 working days. For compliance purposes, client refunds can only be returned to the original funding source. For example, if you deposit funds into your account via debit card, funds will be returned to you via the same debit card, which must be registered on your account. We will not be liable for any losses, costs, expenses or damages incurred or suffered by you due to any delay in the processing or clearance of margin payments, you are responsible to ensure margin payments are made sufficiently in advance and as required to maintain your positions. 9.7 In the case of Professional Clients and Eligible Counterparties, automatic Stop Outs and forced closing of positions will occur typically in the following scenarios: (a) If your Margin Call & utilisation drops below the Stop Out Level. (b) If you remain on margin call constantly for 24 hours. (c) If you are on margin call going into the weekend. (d) If you are on margin call during periods of increased volatility, or periods when there is an anticipation of increased volatility. (e) Going into the weekend, if your equity is below 100% of your margin requirement, your positions will be at an increased risk of being closed on a Friday evening.

Upon opening This is repeated for every Contract entered into by you and shall relate separately to each Account, if you have more than one Account with us. 7.2 The minimum level of margin that you are required to maintain on your Account at any particular time, by the deposit of cleared funds with us, is referred to as the Margin Requirement. 7.3 The Margin Requirement differs according to the financial instrument(s) that you wish to trade. The specific calculations for the Margin Requirement in respect of a TransactionContract is set out in Appendix II (as applicable to the financial instrument). 7.4 When depositing funds in respect of your Margin Requirement, you may wish to leave some "headroom" (i.e. you may wish to deposit an amount which exceeds that required to meet the Margin Requirement at that time) depending on your view of your open positions, the volatility of the particular financial instrument(s) concerned and the underlying market(s), the time it will take for you to deposit further cleared funds on your Account and any other matter which you may consider relevant. 7.5 You undertake to provide us with and to maintain on your Account at all times sufficient cleared funds in order to meet the Margin Requirement. You should keep in mind that a failure to meet the Margin Requirement at any time is a Specified Event (please see definition of this term). As a result, failing to meet your Margin Requirement may result in us closing out your open positions without notice to you under clause 17. We may, in our absolute discretion and subject to clause 7.6, allow you time to forward cleared funds so as to meet your Margin Requirement. Our permission will only be effective once it is confirmed by us in writing (including by email) and only to the extent specified in such notice. However, we may at any subsequent time following such notice be entitled to require you to make the Margin Payment to meet your Margin Requirement. 7.6 We shall provide to you via on-line access to your Account sufficient information to enable you to calculate the amount of any margin required by us under this Agreement. Please note that we may, in accordance with clause 21.4, vary the Margin Percentages or Notional Trading Requirements at any time by written notice to you. Unless provided for otherwise in this Agreement, you shall have three (3) Business Days from the date specified in the notice to deposit cleared funds on your Account to meet the Margin Requirement based on the new Margin Percentages or Notional Trading Requirements applicable to any of your open Contracts, provided always that, in the interim period, you continue to meet the Margin Requirement based on the old Margin Percentages or Notional Trading Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the new Margin Percentages or Notional Trading Requirements will apply immediately in respect of any new Contracts entered into after the relevant notice. We shall report the total amount of margin due from you in the Base Currency using the EML Exchange Rate. When dealing over the telephone, you will be required to pay us provided with the Initial Margin for that Trans- action, as calculated by usrelevant information upon request. 17.2.
