MARKET MAKING. In certain markets, including the foreign exchange markets and CFD Contracts, the Company may act as a ‘Market Maker’, i.e., we may take the risk of holding a certain number of Supported Financial Instruments in order to facilitate trading in these Financial Instruments by displaying/quoting ‘bid’ and ‘ask’ prices (‘buy’ and ‘sell’ quotations) for such Supported Financial Instruments on our Online Trading Facility and filling Orders received in respect to such Supported Financial Instruments from our own inventory or seeking an Offsetting Order. Following execution of any position, we may, at its reasonable discretion, subsequently off-set each such position with you with another client position or with a position with one of our counterparties, or it may decide to retain a proprietary position in the Market with the intention to obtain trading profits from such positions. Such decisions and actions may therefore result in off-setting client positions at prices that are different from the Price Quotes initially provided to you, resulting in trading profits or losses for our Company. This in turn can raise the possibility of you incurring an implied cost (i.e., the difference between the price at which you traded with Us and the price at which the company subsequently traded with its counterparties and/or other clients), due to any profits realised by our company as a result of the Market Making function. However, please note that the Market Making function may involve significant costs to the company if the market moves against it in comparison to the price at which we traded with you. The Client hereby accepts that in such Markets where the Company acts as Market Maker, it may hold positions that are contrary to Clients’ positions, resulting in potential conflicts of interest. In Markets, where the Company acts as a Market Maker, the Client accepts that the company has no obligation to quote prices to the clients, at any time in any given Market, nor shall it have an obligation to provide such Price Quotes to the Client and/or any of its other clients with a specific maximum spread. You acknowledge, recognise and accept that the Price Quotes provided to you include a ‘spread’ when compared with the price for which the company may have covered or expected to be able to ‘cover’ the Transaction or Contract in a trade with another client or a counterparty; furthermore, you acknowledge, recognise and accept the said ‘spread’ constitutes remuneration to the Company and that such ‘spread’ cannot necessarily be calculated individually for all Transactions and/or Contracts and that such ‘spread’ shall not be specified at the Settlement/Trade Confirmation. Any commission costs, interest charges, costs associated to and included in the ‘spreads’ that are part of the Price Quotes provided by Us acting as a Market Maker in certain Markets, and any other fees and charges shall consequently influence your trading result(s) and may have a negative effect on your trading performance compared to a situation in which such commission costs, interest charges, costs associated to and included in the ‘spreads’, would not apply. Whilst dealing ‘spreads’ and commissions are normally considered moderate in relation to the value of the Financial Instruments traded, such costs may be considerable when compared with your Margin deposit. As a consequence, thereof, your Margin deposit may be depleted by the trading losses, which you may incur and by the directly dealing costs such as commissions, interest charges and brokerage fees, as well as by the afore-mentioned costs for you that are caused by the Company performing as a Market Maker. If you are an active trader and you are undertaking numerous Transactions and/or Contracts, the total impact of costs may be significant. Consequently, you may have to obtain significant profits in order to cover the costs associated with the trading activities you undertake with Us as a Market Maker. For very active clients, such costs may over time, exceed the value of the Margin deposited with the company. Normally, when trading Margin derivatives, the lower the percentage of the applicable Margin rate, the higher the proportion of the costs associated with executing a Transaction and/or Contract. You are hereby being notified that CFDs are OTC products quoted by the Company whilst operating as a Market Maker and are not traded on an organised stock exchange. As a result, the description above of the implied costs related to the company’s performance as a Market Maker, may also apply to any CFD Contract.
