The gearing or leverage obtainable in CFDs and/or Financial Instruments trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small movement can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment and this can work against you as well as for you. CFDs and/or Financial Instruments Transactions have a contingent liability and you should be aware of the implications of this, in particular, the margining requirements,

c) When trading in CFDs and/or Financial Instruments, you are trading on the outcome of the price of an Underlying Asset and that trading does not occur on a regulated market, but over-the-counter (OTC), 

d) Before deciding to trade on margin you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite, 

e) You have chosen the particular type of service and Financial Instrument, taking your total financial circumstances into consideration, which you consider reasonable under such circumstances, and

5.2 The Company shall not be responsible for any loss arising from any investment based on any recommendation, forecast or other information provided. Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices, or other information contained on this Website are provided as general market commentary, and do not constitute investment advice. The Company will not accept liability for any loss or damage, including without limitation to, any loss of profit, which may arise directly or indirectly from use of or reliance on such information. 

5.3 The contents of any report provided should not be construed as an express or implied promise, as a guarantee or implication that Clients will profit from the strategies herein, or as a guarantee that losses in connection therewith can, or will be limited. 

5.4 Trades in accordance with the recommendations in an analysis, especially leveraged investments can be very speculative and may result in profits, as well as losses, especially if the conditions mentioned in the analysis do not occur as anticipated. 

5.5 In case of any fault in pricing process, typing errors, entering errors and quoting errors through the electronic trading system and/or phone, the Company has full right to make any necessary modifications to the investor’s trading account in which the mistake took place. 

5.6 If you do not understand the risks involved in trading foreign exchange or leveraged Financial Instruments, please do not trade.

Consequential loss includes pure economic loss, loss of profit, loss of business and likely loss whether direct or indirect.

6.5 We will not be held liable to you for any losses, damages or claims, which result directly or indirectly from any changes in the rates of tax. 

6.6 We will not be liable for any losses, damages or claims which result directly or indirectly if we fail to receive any documents sent in respect of your Account or any funds held on your behalf, or if you fail to receive any such documentation which we may forward to you. 

6.7 Nothing in this Customer Agreement shall be taken to restrict or exclude any duty or liability which we may owe you. 

6.8 You agree to indemnify us against any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand or expense incurred or made against us in connection with the proper performance of your obligations under this Customer Agreement, except where that loss, liability, cost, claim, action, demand or expense arises from our negligence, fraud or willful default or that of our employees.

6.9 Our failure to seek redress for violations, or to insist upon strict performance, of any condition or provision of this Customer Agreement or our failure to exercise any right or remedy to which we are entitled under this Customer Agreement, shall not constitute an implied waiver thereof.

7.3 We may receive or pass on clients’ money to any of our affiliated companies or a third party (e.g. a bank, a market, merchant, e-wallet, intermediate broker, OTC counterparty or clearing house) to hold or control in order to affect a Transaction through or with that person or to satisfy your obligation to provide collateral (e.g. initial margin requirement) in respect of a Transaction. We have no responsibility for any acts or omissions of any third party to whom we pass money received from you. The third party to whom we pass money may hold it in an omnibus account and it may not be possible to separate it from our money, or the third party’s money. In the event of the insolvency or any other analogous proceedings in relation to that third party, we will only have an unsecured claim against the third party on behalf of you and our other Clients, and you may be exposed to the risk that the money received by us from the third party is insufficient to satisfy the claims of you and all other Clients with claims in respect of the relevant account. The Company accepts no responsibility for any funds not deposited directly into the Company’s bank accounts, for losses (directly or as a result of) due to delays and/or failures to deposit or remit funds through affiliated and/or third parties.

7.5 We may hold your Client money on your behalf outside our home jurisdiction. The legal regime applying to any such bank or person may be different. In the event of the insolvency or any other analogous proceedings in relation to that bank or person, your money may be treated differently from the treatment which would apply if the money was held with a bank in an account in our home jurisdiction. We will not be liable for the insolvency, acts or omissions of any third party referred to in this clause. 

7.6 We may deposit your money with a depository who may have a security interest, lien or right of set-off in relation to that money.

7.8 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the Company and the Client, the Company may, at its discretion, from time to time and without the Client’s authorisation, set-off any amounts held on behalf of the Client and/or to the credit of the Client against the Client’s obligation to the Company or its Broker(s). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and the Client, this Agreement shall not give rise to rights of any credit facilities.

8A. Funding and Withdrawals of the Client’s Account

8.1 You may fund your Account by credit or debit card, wire transfers or SEPA transfers, e-wallets or other similar methods of money transfer acceptable by the Company or any of its affiliated companies from time to time in its absolute discretion. We do not guarantee that all the transfer methods are available to be used in your country. Transfers to fund your account can only be initiated by you either 1) through the trading platform or 2) through the assistance of a telephone representative, subject to your express consent.

8.2 The minimum initial deposit required to start trading is described in the ‘Accounts’ section of our Website.

We reserve the right to refuse cash deposits and/or access to trading accounts due to said cash deposits. 

8.3 You may request to withdraw funds deposited from your account as per the procedure described in the withdrawals section of the website, subject to delivering to us the required documents. If your withdrawal request is made to us without meeting all requirements, the Company reserves absolute discretion to withhold this withdrawal request until all legal requirements are met. The Company does not charge any fees for transferring withdrawal funds to you, but any expenses incurred by the bank, credit card company, payment processor, or e-wallet for transferring the withdrawn funds shall be passed to you; please refer to the relevant section on our website. The maximum amount that can be transferred to your initial deposit facility is equal to the initial deposit made. Profits made can only be transferred to your bank account. 

8.4 The Client may withdraw funds deposited to his/her Account and/or profit gained through trading transactions from his/her Accounts only to the relevant account or card that was used to fund the Account (such account to be called “Originating Account/Card”).

Any open trades associated with the account will be immediately closed and future trades will be refused as per provision 13.1.q of the Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge that we are not required to provide you notice before closing your trades and/or account but may choose to do so. 

8.7B In cases of suspected “Friendly Fraud” such as an unwarranted chargeback claim against a legitimate transaction, you acknowledge that, in addition to the rights mentioned in provision 8.7A, the Company also reserves the right to:

8B Promotions and Incentives

8.8 Open trades of Clients who have not logged in for more than 1 week and/or never deposited any funds will be closed automatically each weekend and the funds will be debited from their account. The Company accepts no liability or responsibility for the financial outcome resulting from the automatic closing of such open positions. 

8.9 The Company, from time to time, and at our sole discretion, may offer several types of promotions and/or incentives through which Clients can earn specified rewards upon reaching or by completing pre-defined targets. “Promotions” are schemes which the Company runs repeatedly with the same or similar mechanisms whilst “incentives” (or competitions) are specific one-off schemes (for example, but not limited to, Christmas gifts) usually open to Clients only subject to invitation and respective confirmations. Clients who have not deposited any funds cannot be entitled to any bonus, or to any withdrawal bonuses and/or any other similar incentives which may be available under any promotion or incentive offered by the Company. 

8.10 Joining promotions will be subject to specific conditions, as listed below, in Section 8.12. However, the conditions applicable for the specific one-off incentives are/will be issued in the incentive announcement. When joining promotions and/or incentives, all other terms of this Agreement apply unless expressly and specifically excluded. Conditions apply for the duration of the promotion/incentive only and may be subject to change without any notice.

8.12 Promotions and incentives are subject to availability and might not be offered to all clients. By participating in promotions and incentives you continue to accept our Terms and Conditions.

9 Margins and Collateral Payment

9.1 During the lifetime of any Financial Instrument, we, in our absolute discretion, reserve the right to review and adjust the percentage of funding required or the rates at which interest is calculated on such Financial Instrument, with or without notice to you, especially in, but not limited to, volatile market conditions. Positions that are open overnight may be adjusted to reflect the cost of carrying the position over. Details of such adjustments are available on our Website. 

9.2 Where we affect or arrange a Transaction involving a CFD you should note that, depending upon the nature of the Transaction, you may be liable to make further payments when the Transaction fails to be completed or upon the earlier of the transaction settlement or closing out of your position. You will be required to make further variable payments by way of margin against the purchase price of the Financial Instrument, instead of paying (or receiving) the whole purchase (or sale) price immediately. The movement in the market price of your investment will affect the amount of margin payment you will be required to make. We will monitor your margin requirements on a daily basis and we will inform you as soon as it is reasonably practicable of the amount of any margin payment required under this clause. 

9.3 You agree to pay us on demand such sums by way of margin as are required from time to time or as we may in our discretion reasonably require for the purpose of protecting ourselves against loss or risk of loss on present, future or contemplated transactions under this Customer Agreement. 

9.4 Unless otherwise agreed, margin must be paid in cash. Cash margin is paid to us as an outright transfer of funds and you will not retain any interest in it. Cash margin received by us will be recorded by us as a cash repayment obligation owed by us to you. 

9.5 In addition and without prejudice to any rights to which we may be entitled under this Customer Agreement, we shall have a general lien on all funds held by us or our Nominees on your behalf until your obligations are met.

9.6 We shall have the right, in addition to any other rights we may have under this Customer Agreement, or under the law in general, to close, cancel and or limit the size of your open positions (new or gross) and to refuse to establish new positions. Situations where we may exercise such right include, but are not limited to, where:

a) We consider that there are abnormal trading conditions, 

b) We consider there to have been abusive trading strategies transmitted to us, or

c) Your account has reached Stop Out level. 9.7 At margin levels of less than 30% of your equity, we have a discretionary right to begin closing positions immediately and without notice. Individual Stop Out levels are set at 30% and we reserve the right to close all or any of your Open Positions below Stop Out level immediately and without notice solely in our discretion. The provisions of this paragraph are applicable to all Clients.

9.7 At margin levels of less than 30% of your equity, we have a discretionary right to begin closing positions immediately and without notice. Individual Stop Out levels are set at 30% and we reserve the right to close all or any of your Open Positions below Stop Out level immediately and without notice solely in our discretion. The provisions of this paragraph are applicable to all Clients.

9.8 It is in the Company’s discretion to close any open deals after an inactivity period of 90 days of such deals. Hedging positions may incur an administration fee of 0.1% of the complete volume (deal plus hedge position) in US-Dollars per day and we retain the right to close any hedged positions after 21 days without any further notice. 

9.9 We shall be entitled to retain monies which are required to cover adverse positions, initial margin, variation margin, any uncleared funds, realized losses and any and all other amounts payable to us under this Customer Agreement. 

9.10 Whenever we conduct currency conversions, we will do so at such reasonable rate of exchange as we shall select

PART III – Order Execution

10.1 SIRIUS is obliged to act in our clients’ best interests and, other than in certain circumstances described below, where we execute or arrange the execution of orders, we are required to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for our clients (known as delivering ‘’best execution’’) and to establish and implement an order execution policy and related procedures to allow us to do so. We have internal policies and procedures governing how we will act when we execute orders for our clients. We continually strive to provide the best possible level of service to all of our clients. Consequently, our policies and procedures are under constant review and may be revised at any time without prior notice. 

10.2 We deal with clients as principal and not as agent. This means that we are the execution venue and so clients transact directly with us and not on an exchange or another external market. Trades that clients undertake with us are non transferable, which means that if a client opens a position with us, they must close the position with us. 

10.3 We apply the following execution factors:

(a) The Price – While we always aim to act in the best interest of our clients we cannot guarantee that the price at which we permit clients to execute a trade will be better than elsewhere. Prices on Contract for Difference (CFD) products are sourced from independent third party providers who supply liquidity to the OTC market. 

(b) The Cost – We add a mark-up to the prices from our liquidity providers and publish the ‘’markedup’’ prices that include our income. We will base the closing price of the relevant currency for the purposes of margin requirements and anybalance credits/debits. 

(c) Speed and Likelihood of Execution – Trades may be executed on our platform or by telephone or other forms of communication. Screen and telephone trades are subject to liquidity and market conditions and so we cannot guarantee that a client’s trade will be open or closed instantaneously. The speed and likelihood of execution is also subject to software, hardware and telecom/data line use and we cannot guarantee that this will not be free of interruption of suspension. 

(d) Quantity – We set the minimum and maximum quantity that clients may place on a trade. This is influenced by market conditions and firm policy and changes from time to time. Price and cost are the predominant Execution Factors used by SIRIUS.

10.4 When arranging a transaction or executing a client order, we will take into account the following criteria for determining the relative importance of the execution

factors referred to above:

(a) The characteristics of the client including the categorisation of the client;

(b) The characteristics of the client order; and

(c) The characteristics of the financial instruments that are the subject of that order. 

10.5 Subject to market conditions a client order will be executed at our price or very close to our price. The price clients receive at execution is not guaranteed as the market may widen, become very volatile or even gap. There is no guarantee that a client’s order will be executed. 

10.6 We are under no obligation to honour and may cancel client order under the circumstance which we reasonably believe that any form of market abuse, regulatory breach, or the client order was transacted at an incorrect price may have taken place. 

10.7 If clients have any particular requirements as to how we act when dealing with them, then they must let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them. However, clients should be aware that where they give us specific instructions that are incompatible with our normal order execution policies and procedures, their specific instructions will take precedence. 

10.8 This may result in a different outcome that would have been achieved had our normal policies and procedures been followed and, we will not be required to deliver best execution in respect of the aspects of a client order which are covered by their specific instructions.

10.9 Our normal policies and procedures take account of the costs that we would incur in transacting business. Transactions may be subject to additional charges. Where this applies, we will notify clients of the applicable charges before their order is executed. 

10.10 When executing orders OTC financial derivative products, we will take all reasonable steps to achieve the best possible outcome taking into account our Order Execution Policy and any specific instructions received from our clients. 

10.11 To achieve the best possible result, we will take a number of factors into account, including price, costs, speed of execution, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, nature of the order or any other factors relevant to the execution of that order. 

10.12 We will use our own commercial experience and judgment in determining the relative importance of these factors, however, we have rated prices as the most important factor for obtaining the best possible result. 

10.13 We will review this policy at regular intervals and will monitor and review external pricing sources. 

10.14 We will give clients 14 days written notice where we make any change to this policy and the client disclosure relating to this policy on our website. 

11 Refusal to Transmit Orders
