Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading in an open-outcry market but also from trading on other electronic trading systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risk associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all. Moreover, communications and personal data may be accessed by unauthorized third party; and there are risks of misunderstanding or errors in any communication and such risks shall be absolutely borne by you. Slippage can be a common occurrence in metals trading. Clients should familiarize themselves with how slippage can occur, so as to effectively manage associated risks. This could happen during periods of high volatility or pricing gaps in the market due to unexpected news or economic data announcements, etc. When an order is filled at a more favorable price, it is known as positive slippage; alternatively, when an order is filled at an unfavorable price to the original order, it is referred to as negative slippage. Depending on the interest rate differential between the two currencies, traders can earn rollover or pay rollover. Depending on the volume of the transaction, rollover can add a significant extra cost or profit to the transaction.
