PRESCRIBED LIMITS. The SFC Rules imposes restrictions on the maximum number of futures contracts, including an option on a contract made under the rules or conventions of a futures market as defined in the Ordinance, for any one contract month or series that may be held or controlled by the Client. The prescribed limits on futures contracts are specified in schedule 1 of the SFC Rules. In general, the prescribed limits in schedule 1 of the SFC Rules are also reflected in the Rules of Futures Exchange. The Client should note that in addition to the prescribed limits, the Futures Exchange may impose other position limits on a particular contract, Galaxy International Futures or the Client where situations warrant such action.
