Price: The price for a given contract is calculated by reference to the price of the relevant underlying financial instrument. For any given CFD, the Company will quote two prices: the higher price (ASK) at which the Client can buy (go long) that CFD, and the lower price (BID) at which the Client can sell (go short) that CFD. Collectively, the ASK and BID prices are referred to as the Company"s prices and can be found on the Company"s trading platform.
The difference between the lower and the higher price of a given CFD is the spread.
Prices will be obtained from reputable third-party price feeders and provided by the Company. Prices are updated frequently as the limitations of technology and communication links allow.
The Company ensures that the Client will receive the best price by guaranteeing that the calculation of the quoted prices is made with reference and compared to a range of underlying price providers and data sources. The Company additionally ensures to monitor its Execution Venue(s) on an ongoing basis and review their performance at least annually to confirm that relevant and competitive pricing is offered.

In such cases the Company reserves the right to execute the Order at the first available price. Such instances may occur during times of high market volatility and price fluctuations e.g. when the price of an asset rises or falls in one trading session to such an extent that, under the rules of the relevant exchange, trading is suspended or restricted.
Costs: In most circumstances, a spread is applied. The spread is dynamic for certain Financial Instruments, and may take into account such factors as liquidity in external markets for the underlying financial instrument and competitive pricing.

The Company reserves the right to, at any time, apply such charges in the future with prior notice to the Client. Such notice may be sent personally to the Client and/or posted on the Company"s website in the section General Fees.

Likelihood of Execution: The Company arranges for the execution of Client orders with the Execution Venue, as such, execution may at times be difficult. The likelihood of execution depends on the availability of the prices of the Execution Venue(s). In some instances, it may not be possible to arrange an Order for execution during abnormal market conditions. This can occur, but is not limited to, the following examples: overnight, during news times, the opening of trading sessions, volatile markets (where prices may move significantly up or down and away from declared prices), where there is rapid price movement, where there is insufficient liquidity for the execution of the specific volume at the declared price or a force majeure event has occurred.
In the event that the Company is unable to proceed with an Order in relation to price or size or any reason, the Order will be executed at the first available price or not executed at all. In addition, please note, that the Company is entitled, at any time and at its discretion, without giving any notice or explanation to the Client, to decline or refuse to transmit or arrange for the execution of any Order or request of the Client in circumstances explained in the Terms & Conditions.
The Company does not accept any orders outside of the market hours of the relevant underlying financial instrument.

Market Impact: Some factors may rapidly affect the price of the underlying instrument/product from which the Company"s quoted price is derived and may also affect other factors listed herein. The Company will take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for its Clients.

17. Execution Practices in CFDs
Slippage: You are warned that Slippage may occur when trading in CFDs. Slippage is the difference between the expected price of an Order, and the price the Order is actually executed at. In some situations, at the time an Order is presented for execution, the specific price shown to the Client may not be available; therefore, the Order will be executed close to or a number of pips away from the Client"s requested price.
Slippage can occur at times of low liquidity or high volatility (e.g. after economic events or news announcements) and is a normal element of trading in CFDs.
Leverage (Multiplier): The use of the multiplier tool in CFD trading enables the client to trade in the markets and increase proportionally the returns of his/her invested amount, in relation to the returns in the market. However, the maximum loss a client can incur from a trade is limited to his/her original investment amount meaning the remaining amount of his/her equity is secured. The Company applies a maximum multiplier of 1:100 for all clients by default, in line with relevant legislation.
E.g. (for long positions with 1:50 multiplier): A trader decides to invest �1,000 (Investment Amount) on the upwards movement of EUR/USD. He/she also chooses to use a multiplier of 50 for this trade. After one day, the trader decides to close the position. At that moment, the price of EUR/USD moved from 1.153250 (opening price) to 1.158000 (closing price) or otherwise 0.41188%. The realised profit for the client will be �205.94 or otherwise 20.594%. To better understand the calculations, the invested capital increased by the percentage move in the market multiplied by the multiplier (0.41188% x 50 = 20.594%).
(Closing Price / Opening Price -1) x Multiplier x Investment Amount = Profit/Loss
i.e. (1.158000 / 1.153250 -1) x 50 x 1000 = 205.93973553 or �205.94
For short positions: i.e (1-closing price / opening price) Multiplier Investment Amount = Profit/Loss.
Without the use of the multiplier tool the trader"s profit would have been 4.1187947106 or �4.12.
In the opposite scenario, if the market had moved against his/her position, the realised losses would have been larger with the use of the multiplier compared to a position opened without the use of it. To demonstrate with the same example, if the market had moved 1% down from the opening price of 1.153250, because of the use of the multiplier tool, the invested capital will decrease by 50% (1% x 50).
i.e. 1% x 50 x 1000 = �500
Without the use of the multiplier tool, the trader"s losses would have been �10.
If the trader had used a lower multiplier both the profit and loss amount in the examples above, would have been smaller as well.
E.g. Using a multiplier of 20, the realised profit in the first example would be (1.158000 / 1.153250 -1) x 20 x 1000 = 82.374 or �82.40 and 1% x 20 x �1,000 = �200 for the second example.
As it will be explained more in Maintenance Margin section the trader will never lose more that the investment amount of a position.
It should be noted that the Company may offer higher multipliers to clients it considers to possess the necessary knowledge, experience and understanding of the high risks involved with trading with leverage. Leverage restrictions may apply to certain instruments and/or jurisdictions.
Warning: Trading CFDs carries a high level of risk since the multiplier tool (leverage) can work both in your advantage and disadvantage. As a result, it may not be suitable for all investors because you may lose all your invested capital.
Maintenance Margin: The Maintenance Margin is the minimum amount of equity in a position required to maintain the open position. Should this amount fall below 5% of the initial investment, the Company will automatically close the position.
E.g. Using the data from the previous example with �1,000 investment in EURUSD and using a multiplier of 50, the maintenance margin is calculated as 5% x �1,000 = �50. Therefore, the maximum loss the trader can occur, before their position is closed by the Company is 95% or �950 (If the trader has not already closed the position themselves).
The price when the position will be closed by the Company, and only if the trader hasn"t decided to already close the position, is 1.131338. At this price, the remaining amount of the investment will have reached the maintenance margin.
To better understand the calculations the return in the market when 95% of the investment amount will be lost is 1.9% on the downside since the position is long the EURUSD.
Maximum Loss / multiplier = return in market.
i.e. 95% / 50 = 1.9%*
For an opening price of 1.153250, a 1.9% decline will cause the price to move to 1.131338.
Opening Price x (1 - return in market) = price when position will be closed.
i.e. 1.153250 x (1-1.9%) = 1.131338
In case of 100% loss, calculations will be like this:
Maximum Loss / multiplier = return in market
i.e. 100%/50 = 2%
For an opening price of 1.153250, a 1.9% decline will cause the price to move to 1.130185
Opening Price x (1 - return in market) = price when position will be closed
i.e. 1.153250 x (1-2%) = 1.130185
