  8. The key risks of using TradeLocker services
    1. The mobile application, desktop application, web browser and its contents should not be regarded as professional or financial advice. TradeLocker is a suite of trading tools, meant to be used in connection with an account held by an End-User with their broker. If you intend on using TradeLocker for live trading, you should understand how various financial products work and the risks you will be undertaking on your own. By using TradeLocker, you will have access to information of a general nature (i.e., that does not address the circumstances of any particular individual). If you require further information, or otherwise a more comprehensive or complete statement of the related matters and regulations, you should seek the advice of a lawyer, your broker, or from a licensed financial service provider before you start trading.
    2. Digital Trading Platform. Even though TradeLocker does not manage trading accounts and does not directly handle deposits or withdrawals, there is a risk that You will lose money as a result of:
      1. the failure of Your computer/mobile/digital device (including its battery);
      2. a weak internet connection, or a weak mobile connection, which means You may not be able to connect to the TradeLocker Platform, or if You are able to connect there may be a delay; 
      3. hacking or the use of malicious software that allows a third party to gain access to Your information and/or assets;
      4. Your device being incompatible with the TradeLocker Platform or system specifications, including due to incorrect settings or system specifications; 
      5. the failure or malfunction of TradeLocker’s or Your hardware or software; and/or
      6. some of the features available on the TradeLocker Platform may not be available if You are accessing the platform on a mobile device.
    3. Ultimately, TradeLocker is not liable for any performance issues, slowdowns, or degraded End-User user experience caused by the limitations of the device(s) You use to access the TradeLocker Platform. This includes, but is not limited to, issues arising when engaging in high-volume trades, opening multiple positions simultaneously, or running resource-intensive operations. It is Your responsibility to ensure that Your device meets the necessary technical requirements to operate the TradeLocker Platform and all its related services efficiently.

      You must monitor your trades 
      If You believe you have an order or trade that is not showing on the TradeLocker Platform, or have any other issue or problem with any order or trade, You should contact us and your broker immediately.
  9. How to make a complaint 
    1. For matters related to your selected broker, contact your broker directly. TradeLocker is not responsible for resolving such matters.

  11. Managing Positions
    1. TradeLocker provides the infrastructure through the TradeLocker Platform, that enables End-Users to open, close and manage positions. TradeLocker does not directly handle or execute your orders. 
    2. We are not responsible for setting the price of instruments and products which can be traded on the TradeLocker Platform.
    3. An order is any request placed by You through the TradeLocker Platform to purchase or to sell or otherwise deal in financial products. The availability of order types, such as limit orders, stop loss orders and/or take profit orders , is determined by your selected broker and may vary.  Once an order is placed, the ability to modify or cancel it will depend on the broker’s policies.
    4. The TradeLocker Platform facilitates the transmission of orders from Your account accessed through Your TradeLocker Credentials to the broker, and TradeLocker will process any order received that it reasonably believes are from You, or authorised by You. You are responsible for carefully reviewing Your orders before submission. If you place orders by accident or in error, for example if you place multiple orders which are the same, TradeLocker will transmit these orders to the broker as submitted, and they will be treated as valid, without checking this with you.
    5. Orders transmitted through the TradeLocker Platform are executed by your selected broker in accordance with their execution policies and any specific instructions provided by You. This is called a trade. The instructions and options available on the TradeLocker Platform may change from time to time, depending on the broker’s offerings. For more information on how you can place an order please check your selected broker’s terms and conditions. 
    6. TradeLocker does not guarantee that the execution price will match Your order price, as this depends on the broker and market conditions, such as volatility or price movement between  the time that You place the order (or the time your limit order, take profit and/or stop loss order has been activated) and the time that Your order is executed. This is known as slippage and may result in execution at the next best available price. 
    7. The broker remains responsible for all aspects of the trading relationship, including account management, execution of trades, pricing, and regulatory compliance. TradeLocker acts only as a technology provider to facilitate communication between You and the broker. All financial and legal obligations related to transactions rest with the broker, not with TradeLocker.

    5. Utilising a live trading account through the TradeLocker Platform involves engaging with a broker. All matters related to real funds, including deposits and withdrawals are handled exclusively by and under the responsibility of the selected broker.

End-Users should only trade with funds they can afford to lose and consider their financial position and risk tolerance.

SCHEDULE A – TRADING CFDS

The terms in this Schedule A (including Appendix 1 if applicable) apply to You in addition to the Terms. If a term of this Schedule A conflicts with or differs from a term in the Terms, this Schedule A will apply. 

  1. What is CFD trading? 
    1. A contract for difference (“CFD“) is a financial instrument that enables trading based on the price fluctuations of an underlying product, such as forex, commodities, or cryptoassets. When engaging in CFD trading, you agree to exchange the difference in the price of an underlying product from the point in time when your position is opened to when it is closed.
  2. Key risks of CFD Trading
    1. CFDs are complex derivatives that carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage regardless of the underlying asset. Leverage amplifies both potential gains and losses, meaning even  small price movements in the underlying product can lead to large losses or gains. Consequently, it is possible to incur losses that exceed your initial deposit in a trade. Anything to do with leverage shall be handled by your selected broker and falls outside of TradeLocker’s responsibilities.
    2. The underlying assets of CFDs are often made up of equities, foreign exchange, commodities, cryptoassets and similar products. The markets of these products can be volatile, which means the prices of the products can change rapidly and are therefore unpredictable. Trading CFDs on cryptoassets may present a higher risk compared to CFDs on other financial instruments due to the increased volatility in crypto markets. 
    3. You should only trade CFDs if:
      1. you have sufficient and relevant knowledge about or experience in, trading in volatile markets;
      2. you fully understand how CFDs work (including all associated risks and costs), are aware that the use of margin or leverage creates greater risks;
      3. you are trading with money you can afford to lose; 
      4. you have a high-risk tolerance; 
      5. you want to gain short term exposure to a product/market; 
      6. you understand that there are situations where we will be able to close out your transactions without giving you notice or by giving you very short notice; 
      7. you understand that we can change margin requirements at our sole discretion (including in relation to open positions), and that we may give you very short notice of changes to margin requirements or due to an exceptional event we may not be able to give you notice at all. We will exercise our right to change margin requirements in accordance with the Governing Law;
      8. you understand that when margin requirements change, we cannot guarantee that your execution price will match your order price, including where you’ve placed a limit order, take profit and/or stop loss order; and 
      9. you have time to manage your transactions on an active basis and understand that active management may be required at short notice: 
      10. due to the volatility of the underlying market, which will be increased as a result of leverage;
      11. as a result of us changing margin requirements, including for open positions (as stated above); and/or 
      12. as a result of us giving you very short notice, or due to an exceptional event no notice at all, of changes to margin requirements (as stated above). 
    4. You should ensure you fully understand the risks involved before using our services and, if required, take appropriate investment, financial, legal, tax and other necessary professional, independent advice. You should read this document and fully understand the risks before entering into this Agreement. 

APPENDIX 1

Trading CFDs in relation to Cryptoassets

  1. The Cryptoasset CFD Trading Service
    1. Our services may provide you with the option to trade cryptoasset CFDs using leverage, subject to the terms outlined in Schedule A and Appendix 1. Additionally, our services may permit leveraged trading of cryptoassets, however, this would be governed by the terms and conditions of your selected broker. 
    2. If a transaction involves a CFD on cryptoassets, this will be clearly indicated on the TradeLocker Platform and/or reflected in your Broker Account account statement. 
  2. They Key Risks of Trading Cryptoassets CFDs
    1. The principles on CFDs iterated in Schedule A, apply here. 
    2. CFDs are complex derivative products and come with a high rik of losing money quickly due to leverage. In addition to the ket risks of trading CFDs, the below risks apply in relation to trading cryptoassets CFDs.
    3. Cryptoassets are highly volatile, meaning their prices can change rapidly and unpredictably. When combined with leverage, this volatility can cause significant fluctuations in the value of your cryptoasset CFD trades, which may lead to a complete loss of your invested capital. Consequently, cryptoasset CFDs carry an elevated risk of losing money.
    4. You should only trade CFDs if you have sufficient time to manage your transactions on an active basis. This is even more important when trading cryptoasset CFDs, due to the volatility of the underlying cryptoassets, in combination with the use of leverage. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by us to provide a substantial amount of additional margin funds, without notice or on very short notice, in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the required funds within the time required by us, your position may be liquidated at a loss.
    5. Additional important risks when trading cryptoasset CFDs:
      1. during periods of high trading volume, illiquidity, rapid price movements or volatility in the cryptoasset marketplace, the actual execution rate at which a market order or trade for a cryptoasset CFD is executed may differ from the prevailing rate indicated via the CFD trading services at the time you placed the order or trade; 
      2. If cryptoasset prices are experiencing substantial fluctuations, the actual market rate at which a market order or trade for a cryptoasset CFD is executed may be different from the rate that is displayed on the eToro platform at the time that you make your order;
      3. cryptoassets differ from traditional currencies, which are typically backed by backed governments or other legal entities, or by commodities such as gold or silver. Cryptoassets are backed by technology and public trusts, without any central authority to intervene to stabilize or protect their value, thereby affecting the value of cryptoasset CFDs; 
      4. as virtual products, cryptoassets may be ‘delisted’ or become unsupported at any time, meaning they may no longer be available for trading or exchange in the market. If this occurs, the CFDs based on these delisted cryptoassets may lose all value. Please refer to your broker’s terms and conditions to understand how the broker treats positions in such events.; and
      5. Cryptoassets rely on underlying software protocols that TradeLocker neither owns nor controls. These protocols are generally “open source,” allowing anyone to use, copy, modify, or distribute them. The operating rules of these protocols can undergo abrupt changes, known as “Forks,” which may significantly impact the value of cryptoassets and, consequently, the value of any cryptoasset CFDs. Such Forks may lead to extreme price volatility. Please refer to your broker’s terms and conditions to understand both your rights and the broker’s rights regarding this matter.
    6. Before trading cryptoasset CFDs, you should carefully evaluate their suitability in light of your financial circumstances. Ensure you fully understand how both cryptoassets and CFDs operate, including the associated risks and costs. Be aware that the use of leverage or margin when trading cryptoasset CFDs carries heightened risks compared to trading CFDs on other underlying assets.
