IMPORTANT TRADING RULES
*The following is not intended to be all-inclusive and is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
Trading in Fast Markets. Forex rates may become volatile before, during and/or after economic report releases, breaking news and virtually any other event that could affect financial markets. Times in which forex rates become volatile are known as "fast markets" in which bid/ask spreads may widen significantly and/or forex rates may gap up and/or down quickly (increase or decrease in the forex rate by more than the smallest trading unit). Customers who choose to trade during fast markets do so at their own risk, and may experience widened bid/ask spreads, re-quotes and fills at significantly worse rates than expected.
Leaving a Position Open Over the Weekend. Good-til-cancelled (GTC) orders working as of Friday's market close may not be filled until trading resumes on Sunday. Forex rates may gap up and/or down significantly (increase or decrease in the forex rate by more than the smallest trading unit) over the weekend. Such instances of forex rates gapping over the weekend could result in significant losses for the trader and fills that are significantly worse than expected.
Undermargined Accounts. The FCM/Dealer may, at its own discretion, close any or all open positions in a forex trader's account in the event that the trader's forex trading account balance falls below the maintenance margin level. For more information, click here: How Margins Work
