9 GENERAL.

Trading in margined account involves a high degree of risk including the risk of loss of the Customer’s entire Risk Capital deposited with Nash Markets. Losses, in some cases, have the potential to extend beyond the Customer’s Account Value.

In consideration of Nash Markets agreeing to enter into contracts with its Customer(s) for this Account, Nash Markets requires all the undersigned Customer(s) to analyse their financial objectives, financial status, investment constraints and tax situation to determine whether trading is suitable. In addition, we require our Customers to carefully read and acknowledge the Nash Markets Risk Disclosure Statement that outlines without limitation the risks associated with trading a margined account through Nash Markets. By signing this Agreement the Customer understands and agrees that:

  1. OTC Margined Trading involves a high amount of risk and is highly speculative. Customer(s) agrees that they are in full understanding and willing to assume the legal, economic, and other risks associated with the trading a margined account, and are willing and able to assume the loss of their entire Risk Capital, defined as those funds, that if lost, would not change your lifestyle or your family’s lifestyle. As such, they further agree that margined trading is not suitable for Retirement Funds. Nash Markets encourages Customers to closely manage outstanding open positions and to use prudent money management precautions such as, but not limited to, Stop Loss Orders.
  2. Excessive leverage available with Margined accounts can lead to quick losses. Customer(s) agrees that using a high degree of leverage, defined as the use of a small amount of capital to control a larger amount of an Open Position, can result in large losses due to a price change(s) of open contract(s) with Nash Markets.
  3. Nash Markets provides leverage on most trading products for most customers of 100:1 or more. With 100:1 leverage the Customer has the potential to control $1,000,000 position with $10,000 in an Account. Nash Markets encourages its Customers to use only that portion of leverage that the Customer is most comfortable with and to use money management precautions such as, but not limited to, Stop Loss Orders for the purpose of limiting risk. Nash Markets reserves, at its sole discretion, the right to reduce or increase the amount of leverage given on any trading product at any time and without notice.
  4. Trading experience periods of liquidity risk. Customer acknowledges that Liquidity Risk, resulting from decreased liquidity, is usually due to unanticipated changes in economic and/or political conditions. Customer also acknowledges that Liquidity Risk can affect the general market in that all participants experience the same lack of buyers and/or sellers.
  5. The Customer also understands that liquidity risk can be Nash Markets specific due to changes in liquidity available to Nash Markets from a Nash Markets Custodian of funds interbank liquidity providers due to a perception that the risks of the market segment have increased. When liquidity decreases, Customers can expect, at the minimum, to have wider bid to ask spreads as the supply of available bid/ask prices, outstrips the demand.
  6. Decreases in liquidity can also result in “Fast Market” conditions where the price of a trading product moves sharply higher or lower or in a volatile up/down pattern without trading in an ordinary step-like fashion. In some instances, there may exist the possibility that a trading bid and/or ask price for a trading product or products are not available (a situation where there is no liquidity).
  7. Although there may be instances when the aggregate OTC market enters a “Fast Market” situation or periods where liquidity is in short or no supply, it is important to note that prices, bid/ask spreads and liquidity will reflect the prevailing interbank market liquidity for Nash Markets. Nash Markets can Liquidate Positions of the Customer that do not have adequate margin: Because of the leverage available with OTC Margined Trading and the potential for extreme volatility, Nash Markets Custodian of funds reserves the sole discretionary right to liquidate Customer’s Account(s) should the Margin in the Account not be sufficient to cover the potential risk of loss. Should the Customer’s Account value go below the free of programming bugs that can cause trading, position keeping or any other required functionality of the Trading Platform and other relevant software applications associated with Nash Markets including but limited to clearing and escrow Account software, from becoming inoperable or without errors
  8. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that they will hold harmless Nash Markets for any loss or missed trading opportunity resulting from any communication problems the Customer may encounter.
  9. Nash Markets does not take responsibility for Money Managers. Should a Customer grant a Money Manager trading discretionary trading authority or control over a Customer’s Account, the Customer acknowledges that Nash Markets does not take any responsibility for any action done by that Third Party on the Customer’s behalf.
  10. The Customer grants Money Manager trading authority for the Customer’s Account at its sole, and full risk. Nash Markets reserves the right to correct any transactions executed on misquoting errors: In the case when a quoting error occurs that results in a Customer transaction done at an off-market price, Nash Markets reserves the sole discretionary right to make the necessary corrections and adjustments to the Customer’s Account whether it be in the favour of the Customer or not in the Customer’s favour.
  11. Any change will be reported to the Customer either verbally or via an electronic method such as but not limited to email.
  12. All Market Recommendations made by Nash Markets or any representative of Nash Markets are for informational purposes only. Any decision by the Customer to buy or sell is an independent decision by the Customer. Market recommendations made by Nash Markets or a representative of Nash Markets do not constitute an offer to sell or buy from Nash Markets or from any other source that may provide straight-through processing prices to the Customer.
  13. Nash Markets and its employees are not investment advisor(s) and have no fiduciary duty to Customer and therefore are not liable for any losses incurred by the Customer as a result of information or any recommendations made by Nash Markets or representative of Nash Markets. The customer is at Risk if Nash Markets should go out of business.
  14. There is no guarantee that Nash Markets as a business will be profitable. Consequently, there exists a credit risk that Nash Markets may be subject to losses, which could, in turn, jeopardize the capital that the Customers have in their Accounts. Customer acknowledges that in the event of insolvency, the Customer can only look to Nash Markets for performance and return of all Collateral and Margin that the Customer may have at Nash Markets.
  15. Nash Markets may decide to exit the Business. There is no guarantee that Nash Markets Custodian of funds may decide that they do not want to continue to participate. As a result, the Customer agrees and acknowledges that Nash Markets may liquidate all Customer positions, and return margined funds to the Customer at the sole discretion of Nash Markets, at any time and for any reason. Nash Markets Customers do not hold Nash Markets liable for any loss as a result of the liquidation of the Customers position either on an actual basis or as a result of missed profit opportunities.
  16. Customers are responsible for any reporting errors. Any reporting and confirmation errors of omission, and/or errors in the details of transactions including but not limited to the price contracts were executed, the product traded, the market direction (i.e., ”buy” or “sell”) of order, the type of order and/or any errors in fees, charges or credits to the Customer’s Account including but not limited to charges for executing a transaction, wiring funds, rolling over position, and sweeping balances into the home currency, require that the customer notifies Nash Markets immediately upon discovery for review.
  17. Neither Nash Markets nor third-party chats application provider is responsible or liable if the electronic logs of the electronic conversations are erased or never recorded because of error, omission or any reason. Nash Markets is also not liable should User Name, Password and Account information be obtained knowingly or unknowingly by a Third Party and as a result, trades done in the name of the Customer without his or her knowledge or authorization.
  18. Nash Markets has limited liability. The Customer agrees and acknowledges that Nash Markets shall not be liable to the Customer for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees caused directly or indirectly by any events, actions or omissions, without limitation, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, resulting from civil unrest, war, insurrection, international intervention, governmental action) including, without limits, exchange controls, forfeitures, devaluations and nationalizations), natural disasters, acts of God, market conditions, communication problems or any delay, disruption, failure of any transmission or communication system or computer hardware or software application whether supplied and belonging to Nash Markets or from a third party vendor that the Customer and Nash Markets relies on to conduct execution and reporting services.
  19. Effect of “Leverage” or “Gearing”. Margin accounts and contracts carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the contract so that transactions are “leveraged” or “geared.” A relatively small market movement may have a proportionately larger impact on the funds’ Customer has deposited or will have to deposit. This may work against Customer as well as for Customer. Customer may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain Customer’s position.
  20. Risk-reducing orders or strategies. Placing contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” or “limit” orders, particularly in volatile market conditions, will not necessarily limit Customer’s losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as “spread” and “straddle” positions may be as risky as taking simple “long” or “short” positions.
  21. Before Customer begins to trade, Customer should obtain a clear understanding of all charges for which Customer may be liable. These charges will affect Customer’s net profit (if any) or increase Customer’s loss.
  22. Electronic trading. 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 Customer undertakes transactions on an electronic trading system, Customer will be exposed to risks associated with the system including any failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that Customer’s order is either not executed according to Customer’s instructions or not executed at all. Since Nash Markets does not control signal power, its reception or routing via Internet, the configuration of Customer’s equipment or reliability of its connection, Nash Markets cannot be responsible for communication failures, distortions or delays when trading online (via the Internet). In no event shall Nash Markets be liable for speculative or expectancy damages for potential future lost profits.
  23. Limitation of liability. Customer accepts any trading system provided by Nash Markets “as is,” and without warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use, purpose or application; timeliness; freedom from interruption; or any implied warranties arising from trade usage, course of trading or course of performance.
  24. Under no circumstances shall Nash Markets be liable for any punitive, indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss or damages, including loss of business, profits or goodwill. Nash Markets shall not be liable to Customer by reason of delays or interruptions of service or transmissions, or failures of performance of Nash Markets’s or its affiliate systems, regardless of cause, including, but not limited to, those caused by hardware or software malfunction; regulatory action; acts of God; war, terrorism, or our intentional acts.
  25. Customer recognizes that there may be delays or interruptions in the use of our system, including, for example, those caused intentionally by Nash Markets for purposes of servicing the system. Nash Markets does not guarantee that alternative trading arrangements will be available at a particular time and Nash Markets will not be held liable for delays in entering an order.
  26. Nash Markets’s margin policies require that Customer’s Account be properly margined at all times. Failure to meet margin requirements may result in the liquidation of any open positions with a resultant loss. Nash Markets reserves the right to liquidate all positions without notice if an Account falls below Customer’s minimum margin requirement, in accordance with Nash Markets’s margin call policy.
  27. Quoting errors. Should quoting errors occur, which may include, but are not limited to, a mistype of a quote by Nash Markets, a quote which is not representative of fair market prices, an erroneous price quote from a Nash Markets employee, such as but not limited to a wrong big figure quote or an erroneous quote due to failure of hardware, software or communication lines or systems and/or inaccurate external data feeds provided by third-party vendors, Nash Markets will not be liable for the resulting errors in Account balances.
  28. The foregoing list is not meant to be exhaustive and in the event of a quoting error, Nash Markets reserves the right to make the necessary corrections or adjustments on the Account involved. Any dispute arising from such quoting errors will be resolved in accordance with required regulations if such regulations exist. In the event of a system error where interest is not charged or credited as scheduled, Nash Markets reserves the right to apply the missed interest to the Account at any time.
  29. Third-Party Authority. In the event that Customer grants trading authority or control over Customer’s Account to a third-party trading advisor, such as a Money Manager, whether on a discretionary or non discretionary basis, Nash Markets shall in no way be responsible for reviewing Customer’s choice of such trading advisor, or for making any recommendations with respect thereto.
  30. Nash Markets makes no representations or warranties concerning any trading advisor; Nash Markets shall not be responsible for any loss to Customer occasioned by the actions of the trading advisor; and Nash Markets does not, by implication or otherwise, endorse or approve of the operating methods of any trading advisor. If Customer gives a Money Manager authority to exercise any rights over Customer’s Account, Customer does so at Customer’s own risk. Customer should regularly review the activity in Customer’s Account to ensure that Customer approves of the transactions placed on Customer’s behalf by Customer’s Money Manager.
  31. Disclosure Regarding Bankruptcy Protections. The transactions Customer is entering into with Nash Markets are not traded on an exchange. Therefore, Customer’s funds may not receive the same protections as funds used to margin or guarantee exchange-traded futures, which may receive a priority in bankruptcy.
  32. Since that same priority has not been given to funds used for trading, if Nash Markets becomes insolvent and Customer has a claim for amounts deposited or profits earned on transactions with Nash Markets, Customer’s claim may not receive a priority. without a priority, the customer is a general creditor and customer’s claim will be paid, along with the claims of other general creditors, from any monies still available after priority claims are paid. Even customer funds that Nash Markets keeps separate from its own operating funds may not be safe from the claims of other general and priority creditors.
  33. Volatile Market Conditions. Trading at times of extraordinarily volatile market conditions, e.g. key news announcements may expose the Customer to additional risks, including the risk that the Customer may not get the price him or her requests. Nash Markets cannot and does not guarantee its prices in times of extraordinary market volatility.
  34. Simulated Conditions. Simulated conditions may differ from real conditions. Therefore, Customers who trade on demo Accounts should not necessarily expect the same results from live trading.
  35. Referring Parties. IF YOU WERE REFERRED TO NASH MARKETS BY AN INTRODUCING BROKER, REFERRING PARTY OR THIRD PARTY ADVISOR (EACH, AN “IB”), PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT NASH MARKETS AND YOUR IB ARE WHOLLY SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT FROM ONE ANOTHER AND THERE EXISTS NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Additionally, NEITHER IB NOR ANY OTHER EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF IB IS AN AGENT OR EMPLOYEE OF NASH MARKETS.
  36. Nash Markets does not control, and cannot endorse or vouch for the accuracy or completeness of any information or advice Customer may have received or may receive in the future from Customer’s IB or from any other person not employed by Nash Markets regarding trading or the risks involved in such trading.
  37. Nash Markets provides risk disclosure information to all new Customers when they open Accounts. Customer should read that information carefully, and should not rely on any information to the contrary from any other source.
  38. Customer acknowledges that no promises have been made by Nash Markets or any individual associated with Nash Markets regarding future profits or losses in Customer’s Account. Customer understands that trading is very risky and that many people lose money trading.
  39. If an IB or any other third party provides Customer with information or advice regarding trading, Nash Markets shall in no way be responsible for any loss to Customer resulting from Customer’s use of such information or advice.
  40. To the extent Customer has previously been led to believe or believes that utilizing any third party trading system, course, program, research or recommendations provided by IB or any other third party will result in trading profits, Customer hereby acknowledges, agrees and understands that all trading, including trading done pursuant to a system, course, program, research or recommendations of IB or another third party involves a substantial risk of loss. In addition, Customer hereby acknowledges, agrees and understands that the use of a trading system, course, program, research or recommendations of IB or another third party will not necessarily result in profits, or will avoid losses or limit losses.
  41. Because the risk factor is high in trading, only genuine risk capital should be used. If Customer does not have capital which the Customer can afford to lose, Customer should not trade.
  42. Customer understands and acknowledges that Nash Markets may compensate Customer’s IB for introducing Customer to Nash Markets and that such compensation may be on a per-trade basis or another basis.
  43. Customer understands and agrees that if Customer’s Account with Nash Markets is introduced by an IB, that IB shall have limited access to information regarding Customer’s Nash Markets Account, but the IB shall not have the right to enter into any trades on Customer’s Nash Markets Account unless authorized by Customer under a power of attorney between Customer and IB granting such IB the right to trade on Customer’s Account.
  44. Customer understands and acknowledges that Customer may have only one IB, a party that originally referred Customer to Nash Markets.
  45. Customer may terminate Customer’s relationship with an IB by providing written notice to Nash Markets. Customer understands and acknowledges that Customer cannot be considered the client of any other IB. Should you have any questions regarding the risks of trading, please contact your Account representative.
10 PRICING ERRORS & OFF-MARKET QUOTES

There is the possibility that pricing errors, non-market-based price quotes, off-market quotes, omissions, or misquotes (referred hereafter as “Material Errors”) may occur in the pricing that we provide for trading.

A Material Error may include the date, time, incorrect price, or any error and/or lack of clarity of any information regarding a trade.

For any trades based on Material Errors, we reserve the right to do any of below things (or a combination of them), without your consent:

  • amend the terms and conditions of the trade to reflect what we consider to have been a reasonable and fair price at the time when the trade was entered into, had there been no Material Error occurring (i.e. the market price),
  • apply an equity adjustment to your Account, if the value of the adjustment reflects what we consider to have been the reasonable and fair price at the when the time the trade was entered into, had there been no Material Error occurring (i.e. the market price). We will provide you with a record of the adjustment as soon as possible post adjustment,
  • Close-Out your trade by buying or selling an offsetting trade at prevailing market rates,
  • require you to repay us any money we have paid you regarding the trade,
  • void the trade from the outset, or
  • not take any action to amend or void the trade.

We will exercise our rights under the above Pricing errors & off-market quotes clauses ((i) to (vi)), fairly and in good faith, and as soon as possible after we become aware of the occurrence of the Material Error. Where possible, we will advise you before we take any action under the above clauses.  If, however, this is not possible, we will advise you as soon as possible afterward.

We are not liable to you for any loss, Cost, claim, demand or expense that you incur or suffer (including loss of profits or indirect or consequential losses), arising from or connected with a Material Error, including where the Material Error arises from an information service that we rely on.

11 BEHAVIOR POLICY
11.1 Our Principles

We are dedicated to providing a fair and consistent service to everyone. We believe that everyone who contacts us has the right to be heard and understood, and also respected.

We believe that our staff has the same rights, and we must provide a safe working environment for our staff. We must also ensure the efficient and effective operation of our business so that we can provide a good service to everyone who is using our business.

We may decide to restrict access to our service where we consider someone’s actions or behavior are likely to have a negative effect on our staff or our work.

This policy sets out the kinds of actions and behavior that may have a negative effect, and what we will do in these circumstances. This policy applies to everyone who interacts or communicates with us, including clients, potential clients, affiliates, and users of our means of communication – email, chat, and telephone.

We recognize that some people may have difficulties in expressing themselves or communicating clearly, especially when anxious or upset. We also understand that some people may find it difficult to identify what impact their behavior might have on other people.

11.2 Our rights

All our staff has the right not to be subjected to aggressive, offensive, or abusive actions, language or behavior, regardless of the circumstances. This means any actions or behavior that could cause staff to feel intimidated, threatened or offended. These include, but are not limited to – threats, physical violence, personal verbal abuse, derogatory remarks, and rudeness, whether made to the member of staff directly or elsewhere. Deliberately provocative or inflammatory statements and unsubstantiated allegations can also amount to abusive actions or behavior.

Violence can be defined in various ways – it also includes behavior or language, whether oral or written, that may cause staff to feel afraid, threatened, or abused.

If someone makes unreasonable demands on us or our staff or is unreasonably persistent, that may have an impact on our ability to review the person’s complaint or the complaints of other people who are using the services. Some examples include the following: requesting responses within an unreasonable timescale; insisting on speaking to or corresponding with a particular member of staff, frequent phone calls, emails, or online chats; repeatedly changing the substance of the complaint or raising unrelated concerns.

Examples of unreasonable persistence include: continual refusal to accept that a decision has been made in relation to a complaint; insisting that we answer questions when we have done so or explained why we will not; persistent refusal to accept explanations relating to what we can or can’t do; sending emails to multiple members of staff; or repeatedly trying to revisit a case through our internal processes, once those processes have come to an end.

11.3 Our approach

When we consider that a person’s actions or behaviour are likely to have a negative effect, we will tell them why and we will give them the opportunity to modify their actions or behaviour. If the actions or behaviour continue, we will take steps to prevent or minimise the negative effects. Wherever possible, we will continue with our review of the person’s complaint. We will try to ensure that any action we take is the minimum required to protect our staff and to ensure that they can work effectively.

Our staff may either place a caller on hold or end the telephone call if the caller is aggressive, offensive or abusive, or is making unreasonable demands. The same approach will be used for online chats. Staff are accountable for their actions and are required to log all instances of when calls have been terminated, noting the reason(s) for ending the call. All telephone calls and online chats are recorded for service and training purposes.

It may be necessary to apply restrictions to someone’s contact with us. A decision to do this may be taken by any of our managers. Some of the options that we may consider are:

  • Read and file future emails and chat correspondence but acknowledge or respond to it only if the person is raising new information or making a new complaint,
  • Requesting a person to transfer any funds they own from their account, and subsequently close their account with us. Once the closure of the account has occurred, to restrict or block future contact from a person.

We will record any incidents which lead us to take action under this policy, and what action we have taken to address the issue.

Report the matter to the Police or appropriate governing body, or take legal action. In such cases, we may not give the person prior warning of taking that action.

Anyone who is unhappy with a decision we have made under this policy may submit a complaint to our email. We will consider it in line with our client policies in place at the given time.
