TRADING RULES AND PROCEDURES

The following Trading Rules and Regulations will outline procedures and policies regarding trading and setting up an Account with 24K Markets. All customers are required to read, understand, and adhere to these rules and regulations. 24K Markets reserves the right to change any rules or regulations at its sole discretion and at any time.

Trading Hours:

The 24K Markets normal trading week begins at 19:00 (7:00 PM EST) on Sunday and ends at 16:00 (4:00 PM EST) on Friday (time is subject to change.)
24K Markets will announce and display on a best-efforts basis a holiday schedule on the website when trading will not take place.
In the event of a holiday, 24K Markets will on a best-efforts basis pre-announce the start-up time when trading will resume in advance and display the information on the website.
24K Markets reserves the right at its sole discretion to conduct special technical maintenance times when trading electronically may not be available.

Deposit and Account Information:

Liquidation level: 24K Markets reserves the right to automatically liquidate the position and the Customer will be responsible for all losses as a result of the liquidation. 24K Markets reserves the right to change the Liquidation Level at its sole discretion.
Prices from 24K Markets are independent of prices found elsewhere. Customers acknowledge that the prices reported by 24K Markets for buying and selling are independent and can differ from the prices displayed elsewhere or from other liquidity providers in the interbank changes in liquidity from interbank to 24K Markets, an unbalanced position or exposure at 24K Markets, or differing expectations of price movements. 24K Markets expects that in most cases the prices provided to its customers will be in line with the general interbank market but does not warrant or imply that this will always be the case.
Rollover rates for open positions are determined by 24K Markets and are independent of prices found elsewhere in the Interbank market. The Customer acknowledges that when applicable, all existing open positions that remain open over the end of the business day for 24K Markets, defined as 5:00 PM EST/EDT, are automatically rolled over to the next available Spot Settlement Date at a net debit or credit to the Customer(s) Account as determined by spot interest rates determined solely by 24K Markets. Rollover debits and credits are also influenced by the number of days that the position must be rolled. For positions that need to be rolled from a spot settlement date from Friday to Monday, the debit or credit will reflect rollover from Friday to Monday or three business days. For rollovers from Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday to Wednesday, Wednesday to Thursday, and Thursday to Friday, the rollover debit or credit is for only one business day. If there is a holiday and 24K Markets is closed, the rollover would take into consideration the holiday. For example, if Tuesday is a holiday, rollovers from Monday will be for two (2) business days (i.e. from Monday to Wednesday). Since rollover debits and credits are determined by the respective short-term spot interest, a large spread can cause a large debt or credit rollover amount. This spread can result but is not limited to, countries tightening of credit conditions in order to dissuade speculators from shorting one trading product versus another. 24K Markets reserves the right to change the credits or debits at its sole discretion if the original amounts are wrong due to an error or omission.
Sweep rates for balances other than USD are determined by 24K Markets and may be independent of prices found elsewhere in the Interbank market. Profits that are calculated in a foreign currency are “swept” into dollars when the open positions are closed, and the Profit and Loss realized. There is No Guarantee of Profit from Trading with 24K Markets: the Customer acknowledges that neither 24K Markets nor any of its representative’s guarantees to the Customer that they will profit from trading. The Customer further acknowledges that they could sustain the loss of their entire Risk Capital deposited in their Account and are financially able to withstand any losses incurred.
There is no guarantee that 24K Markets will be able to execute stop-loss orders, limit orders, or OCO Orders at the Customer Entered Price. The customer acknowledges and agrees that there may be a market, liquidity, or other conditions that will prevent 24K Markets from executing customer-specific stop-loss orders, limit orders, or OCO orders at the Customer’s designated price. In some cases, the orders will be executed at prices that are less favorable to the price entered and desired by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that they are still responsible for trades executed at levels different from their orders and that 24K Markets is not liable for failure to do so.
There is technology risk inherent in trading online or via a software application. Although 24K Markets has invested a lot of resources developing, testing, configuring, and integrating the Trading Platform and other relevant software and hardware, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that 24K Markets does not guarantee that the Customer will be able to successfully execute a transaction, monitor their positions, or perform other essential tasks of 24K Markets while using the public Internet and other technology from 24K Markets or from third-party vendors known or not known for which 24K Markets may rely on. 24K Markets cannot control, without limitation, the routing, Internet connectivity, reliability of customer or 24K Markets equipment, network connections, or any other technology hardware malfunction caused by 24K Markets hardware, hardware, and connectivity that makes up the public Internet, or hardware at the Customers location. Nor does 24K Markets guarantee, although all effort has been made to the contrary, that the Trading Platform and Associated Back Office and Broker Software Interfaces nor any other code or application including but not limited to the interface with 24K Markets liquidity provider(s) or the interface with the escrow Account institution or other technology application that would come under the heading software, are error-free and would not lead to communications problems, computer software or hardware breakdowns, malfunctioning errors, and any and all problems or glitches associated with computer problems or any other technical cause or causes. Customer acknowledges and agrees that 24K Markets provides Trading Platform and Associated Back Office and Broker Software Interfaces “as is,” without any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or other express or implied warranties.
Trades Done Using chat applications. 24K Markets may incorporate the use of an electronic conversational application or other chat-like programs. Such an application will be used by 24K Markets to give customers another way to communicate order details to the 24K Markets Trading Desk.
Source of Funds. The Customer confirms to have sufficient funds and risk capital available for immediate transfer to support a margin-based brokerage account with 24K Markets, for over-the-counter and/or off-exchange trading products. The Customer understands the high degree of risk associated with trading and waives 24K Markets of all liability. The Customer understands that these funds act as a protection for any of their own customers who may take trading positions that result in loss, negative balance, or margin call.
KYC (Know Your Customer) Policy. Know Your Customer policies have become increasingly important worldwide lately, especially among banks and other financial institutions, in order to prevent identity theft, money laundering, financial fraud, and terrorist activity. 24K Markets holds a zero-tolerance fraud policy and is taking all measures possible to prevent it. Any fraudulent activity will be documented and all related accounts to it will be immediately closed. All funds in these accounts will be forfeited.

All deposits are accepted in U.S. Dollars only unless otherwise agreed. The Customers from foreign countries have the option to convert the foreign currency into US Dollars before wiring to 24K Markets clearing bank, or wire foreign currencies to our clearing bank at which point our clearing bank will convert the balances into US Dollars at their current conversion rate for that currency.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will 24K Markets transfer funds from one account with 24K Markets to another account at 24K Markets with a different Account Authorization information.
Telephone Orders. 24K Markets has qualified staff that can execute customer’s trade orders over the telephone. Telephone execution is intended for those circumstances when trading via the Trading Platform is not available due to technical problems on the Customer’s internet or in situations when the Customer has no other connectivity option. This option can only be executed on the provision that the technical problems are not related to a general 24K Markets server problem.

a) The 24K Markets representative will ask for the Customer’s Username and Account Number and confirm that each match and confirm the identity of the Customer.

b) Once confirmed, 24K Markets will ask for the Customer’s Order. (i.e. “What is your Order?”)

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING.

24K Markets does not tolerate money laundering and supports the fight against money launderers. 24K Markets follows the guidelines set by the UK’s Joint Money Laundering Steering Group. The UK is a full member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the intergovernmental body whose purpose is to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. 24K Markets now has policies in place to deter people from laundering money. These policies include:

Ensuring clients have valid proof of identification.
Maintaining records of identification information.
Determining that clients are not known or suspected terrorists by checking their names against lists of known or suspected terrorists.
Informing clients that the information they provide may be used to verify their identity.
Closely following clients’ money transactions.
Not accepting cash, money orders, third-party transactions, exchange houses transfers or Western Union transfers.

Money laundering occurs when funds from an illegal/criminal activity are moved through the financial system in such a way as to make it appear that the funds have come from legitimate sources.

Money laundering usually follows three stages:

Firstly, cash or cash equivalents are placed into the financial system.
Secondly, money is transferred or moved to other accounts (e.g. futures accounts) through a series of financial transactions designed to obscure the origin of the money (e.g. executing trades with little or no financial risk or transferring account balances to other accounts).
Finally, the funds are re-introduced into the economy so that the funds appear to have come from legitimate sources (e.g. closing a futures account and transferring the funds to a bank account).

Trading accounts are one vehicle that can be used to launder illicit funds or to hide the true owner of the funds. Specifically, a trading account can be used to execute financial transactions that help obscure the origins of the funds.

24K Markets directs funds withdrawals back to the original source of remittance, as a preventative measure. International Anti-Money Laundering requires financial services institutions to be aware of potential money laundering abuses that could occur in a customer account and implement a compliance program to deter, detect, and report potentially suspicious activity.

These guidelines have been implemented to protect 24K Markets and its clients.
