PART 5. PAYMENTS COST, CHARGES, DEPOSITS AND INDUCEMENTS

5.1. Charges

Spreads, fees and other charges are payable by you as a Client of the Company. A copy of our current charges is published in the KID and the mobile app. Any alteration to charges will be notified to you in advance of the relevant change.

The Company reserves the right to modify, from time to time the size, the amounts and the percentage rates of its fees providing the Client with a respective notification of such charges accordingly.

Further information in respect to costs and charges are provided in an aggregated form on the Company’s website (expressed in both as a cash amount and as a percentage). The Company provides you with an itemized breakdown of costs and charges in your personal account on our platform.

5.2. Spreads

The Company will quote to clients two prices, the “ASK” at which clients can buy a respective CFD, and the “BID” at which clients can sell a respective CFD. The difference between the ASK and the BID prices is called the “SPREAD”. The SPREAD is the only trading cost that the user has to pay for the trading part of the Electronic Services. No other charges or commissions are paid by the clients to enter or exit a trade. The Company’s spreads are quoted on both the mobile and web platforms and on the website.

The spreads are dynamic due to the uncertain nature of the markets and are set at the absolute discretion of the Company. Different instruments have different spreads. The spread may factor in:

- Liquidity of the product’s underlying market
- General market and economic conditions
- The Company’s risk appetite
- The Company’s costs and profit margin
- The greater competitive landscape

The Company is using a proprietary model to create its pricing. A unique internally developed pricing algorithm sources prices from many price liquidity providers, assuring that the Company provides to its clients the best price it can.

In this respect, when such a deposit method is identified by the Company, the deposited funds are immediately returned to the Client.

5.6. Conversion into the Base Currency

Investing in financial instruments with an underlying asset(s) in a currency other than your base currency entails a currency risk as the financial instrument is settled in a currency other than your base currency and hence the value of your return may be affected by its conversion into the base currency.

For the purposes of any calculation (unless expressly stated otherwise), we convert amounts denominated in any other currency into the Base Currency at the prevailing rate at the time of the calculation as shown on our platform.

However, the Company reserves the right to add a markup on the conversion rates in relation to the prevailing market conditions.

If third party deposit is identified or if in case of a doubt you are unable to provide the documentary prove of funds ownership – the deposited amount deducted by the amount of transaction fees will be returned to the same account from which it was received.

In case the card was fraudulently used the legal owner of the card shall apply to the Company for reimbursement of the full fraudulently transferred amount including transaction fees.

GSL Fee = Extra Spread * GSL Price * Quantity of the trade

The amount of fee charged is displayed in the trade history once the GSL is triggered and executed.

5.14. Dividends

Adjustments will be made to the Client’s Accounts due to dividend payments related to the underlying equity. Such adjustment will be calculated by the Company basing on the size of the dividend, the size of Client’s position, taxation and whether it is a buy or a sell trade. If the Client holds a long Position, the Company will adjust such Client’s Account in Client’s favor by the dividend multiplied by the long quantity as adjusted, if necessary, for taxation. If the Client holds a short Position, the Company will adjust such Client’s Account in Company’s favor by the dividend multiplied by the short quantity as adjusted, if necessary, for taxation.

A dividend adjustment is applied when an underlying share passes its ex-dividend date (including the ex-date of any special dividend) in the underlying stock market.

However, as the Company is dependent upon notification from an external third party under no circumstances the Company shall be kept liable for the consequences of any delayed adjustments.

PART 8. TRADING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES/ORDERS

8.1. Placing Orders

You may give us instructions in electronic form through the Website or the mobile app. In these Terms “instructions” and “orders” have the same meaning.

8.2. Types of Orders Accepted

8.2.1. An order is an offer to open or close a transaction if our price moves to, or beyond, a level specified by you. Our approach is to place orders solely as a principal and not as an agent on your behalf; we are the sole counterparty to your trades and the sole execution venue for your orders. The CAPITAL.COM Online Trading Platform supports the following types of orders:

a. A Market Order is an instruction to buy or sell a CFD immediately in a specified size at the best available market price for that size. When you place a Market Order with us you acknowledge that such Market Order allows us to execute your order at a price that is different than our quoted bid/offer price at the time you place it. This order type does not allow any control over the price it will be filled at. Market Orders can be placed only during the trading hours of the underlying asset. Where there is insufficient liquidity available for the specified size your Market Order will be partially filled while the remaining quantity will be cancelled by the system. A Market Order can have taken Profit/ Stop Loss Orders attached.

b. A Limit Order is an instruction to buy a CFD at no more than a specific price, or to sell it at no less than a specific price (called ‘or better’ for either direction). This gives you a control over the price at which the Limit Order is executed, however this Limit Order may never be executed (or filled). A Limit Order can be used to either open or close a position. When there is insufficient liquidity available for the specified price your Limit Order will be partially filled with the remaining quantity actively pending until it is fully filled or cancelled. Once a Limit Order is triggered it will be executed at a level that is the same or better than the level specified by you. Limit Orders can have taken Profit and Stop Loss orders attached.

c. A Working order is a general term for a Limit Order to open.

d. A Take Profit is an order that can be attached to working orders, market orders or open positions, to close a position at a price that is better than the current price. This order type is primarily used to lock in profits from a position. If the market has moved to the opposite direction of a position, it is possible to set up a Take Profit at a price that is better than the current price but worse than the opening price. Thus, it is possible to limit losses with a Take Profit order. Where a Take Profit Order is attached to a working order it will be a contingent order that would become active once all or part of your opening order has been executed giving rise to a position being opened on your Account. The Take Profit Orders will be filled at the predefined price. If a Take Profit Order is partially executed because there is insufficient liquidity at the price you specified, the remaining part of your order will be active until your price level is reached again and more liquidity is available. A Take Profit Order will remain active until it is executed or removed, or the open position is closed.

e. A Stop Loss is an order that can be attached to working orders, market orders or open positions, to close a position at a price that is worse than the current price. This order type is primarily used to limit the potential losses you can incur from an open position. If the market has moved to the direction of a position, it is possible to set up a Stop Loss at a price that is worse than the current but better than the opening price. Thus, it is possible to lock profits with a Stop Loss order. If the Stop Loss level is reached, the Stop Loss Order is executed as a Market Order at the best price available for the quantity you wish to buy or sell. A Stop Loss Order will remain active until it is executed, or removed, or the open position is closed. If a Stop Loss Order is partially executed because there is insufficient liquidity, the remaining part of your order will be active until your price level is reached again and more liquidity is available.

We do not guarantee that a Stop Loss Order will be filled at the price specified.

f. A Guaranteed Stop Loss Order is an order that can be attached to working orders, market orders or open positions, to close a position at an exact price determined by you that is worse than the current price. This order type is used to limit the losses you can incur from an open position. If the market has moved to the direction of a position, it is possible to set up a Guaranteed Stop Loss at a price that is worse than the current but better than the opening price. Thus, it is possible to lock profits with Guaranteed Stop Loss order. When accepting your Guaranteed Stop Loss Order we guarantee that when our bid or offer quote goes beyond the price specified by you, we will close your position at exactly the price specified. An open position can be closed at your initiative before reaching the Guaranteed Stop Loss Order level. As we guarantee your close out price, there is a fee charged when the Guaranteed Stop Loss Order is triggered and executed (see cl. 5.12 Guaranteed Stop Loss Order Fee (GSL Fee).

8.2.2. Limit Orders and Stop Loss Orders for equity CFDs are executed based on the preceding ex-dividend prices and if not fully executed before the occurrence of the forthcoming Corporate Event, entitling the Client to a dividend for the equity CFD position(s) he/she currently holds, the Client’s relevant CFD position(s) will be closed by the Company prior to that Corporate Event at the then prevailing market price. Similarly, the Company will ask the Client to close any affected pending Limit Orders and Stop Loss Orders before the forthcoming Corporate Event or will do so on its own, if the Client fails to act accordingly.

8.2.3. Limit Orders and Stop Loss Orders applied to equity CFDs based on cum-dividend prices will be valid for the ex-dividend price (and vice versa) unless specifically cancelled by the client.

8.2.4. We may introduce new types of orders from time to time by posting a relevant alert and updating the current information on our platform.

8.3. Terms of Acceptance for Orders

8.3.1. It is your sole responsibility to clearly indicate the terms of an order when entered, whether it is a Market Order, Limit Order, Take Profit, Stop Loss or any other type of order, including the relevant price and lot size.

8.3.2. You acknowledge and agree that, despite our best efforts, the price at which execution occurs may be materially different to the price specified in your order. This may result from sudden price movements in the underlying assets that are beyond our control.

8.3.3. The Company shall have no liability for failure to execute orders.

8.3.4. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reject any order in whole or in part prior to execution, or to cancel any order, where your Account contains margin that is insufficient to support the entire order or where such order is illegal or otherwise improper.

8.4. Execution Policy

8.4.1. If there are no specific instructions from the Client on how to execute the order, we will consider several execution factors to ensure that we manage the order on terms most favourable to our Client. These execution factors include:

a. price;

b. speed;

c. likelihood of execution and settlement;

d. costs;

e. size and nature of the order;

f. any other considerations relevant to the execution of the order.

8.4.2. It is emphasized that the specific instructions as mentioned above prevent the Company from taking the steps that it has designed and implemented in order to ensure the best possible result for the execution of those Orders in respect to the elements covered by those instructions.

We do not consider the above list exhaustive and the order in which the above factors are presented shall not be taken as an indication of their priority.

8.4.3. The best possible result for our Clients will be determined in terms of the total consideration, represented primarily by the price of the financial instrument and the costs related to the execution. The costs related to the executions include the expenses incurred by the Client which are directly related to the execution of his/her order.

8.4.4. The other execution factors of speed, likelihood of execution, size, nature or any other relevant consideration will, in most cases, be secondary to the price and costs considerations, unless they would deliver the best possible result for the Client in terms of total consideration.

8.5. Cancellation/Withdrawal of Instructions

8.5.1. Non-market orders may be cancelled via the CAPITAL.COM Online Trading Platform but we can only cancel your instructions if you explicitly request so, provided that we have not acted up to the time of your request upon those instructions.

8.5.2. Executed instructions may only be withdrawn or amended by you with our consent.

8.5.3. The Company shall have no liability for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses, including legal fees, arising directly or indirectly out of the failure of such order to be cancelled.

8.6. Right not to Accept Orders

We may, but shall not be obliged to, accept instructions to enter into a Transaction. If we decline to enter into a proposed Transaction, we shall not be obliged to give a reason but we shall promptly notify you accordingly.

8.7. Control of Orders Prior to Execution

8.7.1. We have the right (but not the obligation) to set limits and/or parameters to control your ability to place orders at our absolute discretion. Such limits and/or parameters may be amended, increased, decreased, removed or added to by us at our absolute discretion and may include (without limitation):

a. controls over maximum or minimum order amounts and maximum or minimum order sizes;

b. controls over our total exposure to you;

c. controls over prices at which orders may be submitted (to include, without limitation, controls over orders which are at a price which differs greatly from the market price at the time the order is submitted to the order book);

d. controls over the Electronic Services (to include, without limitation, any verification procedures to ensure that any particular order or orders has come from you); and/or

e. any other limits, parameters or controls which we may be required to implement in accordance with Applicable Regulations.

8.8. Trade Adjustments

8.8.1. Clients must be aware that CFD transactions carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin may be small relative to the value of the instrument so that transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’. A relatively small market movement may have a proportionately larger impact on the funds that the Client has deposited or will have to deposit. This may work against as well as for the Client.

8.8.2. The Company exclusively reserves the right to widen its variable spreads, adjust leverage and/or increase the margin requirements without notice under certain market conditions including, but not limited to, when the CAPITAL. COM Trading desk is closed, around fundamental announcements, as a result of changes in credit markets and/or at times of extreme market volatility.

8.9. Execution of Orders

We shall use our reasonable endeavours to execute any order promptly, but in accepting your orders we do not represent or warrant that it will be possible to execute such order or that execution will be possible according to your instructions. If we encounter any material difficulty relevant to the proper carrying out of an order on your behalf we shall notify you promptly.

Despite the above, we havedesigned appropriate policies and procedures in order to ensure compliance with the obligation to execute orderson terms most favourable to our clients and to achieve the best possible result for them, taking into consideration each client’s ability, needs and trading policies, producing a result which provides, in our view, the best balance across a range of sometimes conflicting factors. For more information please refer to the Order Execution Policy.In respect of Retail Clients, the best possible result is determined in terms of the total consideration. The Company shall apply best execution rules in cases where you have not provided the Company with specific instructions.

We take all the appropriate measures in to manage any possible conflict of Interest that may arise in accordance with the provisions of our Conflict of Interest Policy.

In accordance with MiFID II requirements, the Company has the obligation regarding the annual publication of information on the identity of execution venues and on the quality of execution as per the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/576 (hereafter the “RTS28”).

8.19. Corporate Events

8.19.1. The Client has no rights or obligations in respect of the underlying instruments or assets relating to his/her CFD. Specifically, in case of an equity CFD you will not receive any voting rights. However, the underlying instrument can be affected by various Corporate Events. A “Corporate Event” is any action or event, whether temporary or otherwise, in relation to an underlying asset(s) of the CFD, or in relation to the issuer of an underlying asset(s) of the CFD, which would have an effect on the value, legal characteristics or ability to trade the underlying asset(s) or the CFD based on or referencing such underlying asset(s), including: distributions or the grant of entitlements to existing holders of rights in the underlying asset(s), dividend payments, the granting of rights to purchase, subscribe or receive any underlying asset(s) (whether for free, on preferential payment terms or otherwise) or cash, placings, rights issues, bonus/scrip issues, capitalization issues and similar issues, mergers or takeovers relating to the issuer of the underlying asset(s), sub-divisions, splits, reductions (including share buy-backs),consolidations, reclassifications, restructurings, cancellation or suspension of listing of the underlying asset(s) or the issuer of the underlying asset(s), and any action or event analogous to any of the foregoing or otherwise that may have a diluting or concentrative effect on the value of the underlying asset(s) of the CFD.

8.19.2. In case a Corporate Event will occur while the Client is holding an open CFD position or has a pending order affected by such event, we will notify the Client in advance of such Corporate Event and ask him/her to close the relevant position(s) and cancel the affected pending orders before that Corporate Event occurs. If the Client fails to do so, we will close any Client CFD position(s) to be affected by the forthcoming Corporate Event at the then prevailing market prices and suspend any affected orders of the Client before that Corporate Event takes place. Closing of Client's CFD position(s) affected by a Corporate Event will not take place in case of dividend payments related to underlying equities. In this case adjustments will be made to the Client’s Account, such adjustment will be calculated by the Company based on the size of the dividend, the size of Client’s position, taxation and whether it is a buy or a sell trade. For more details please see paragraph 5.14.

8.20 Expiring CFDs

Certain CFDs shall have an expiry date. On the expiry date an open position on the expiring CFD will be closed automatically at the then prevailing market price, any affected order(s) will be cancelled. Nothing precludes the Client from closing the relevant position and cancelling the affected pending orders prior to the expiry date.
The expiry date for the relevant CFD shall be published on the relevant section of the Company’s website and on the mobile app. Should the expiry date change, the Client will be notified accordingly.

PART 12. LEVERAGE ARRANGEMENTS

12.1

Trading on CFDs is a form of Leveraged Trading and is highly speculative, complex and involves a significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. CFDs are among the riskiest types of investments and can result in large losses.

The default leverage limit for retail clients currently advised by CySEC and implemented by the Company is 1:50. Depending on the appropriateness level of the Client relating to our trading services, the leverage limit can be increased by Client to either 1:100 or 1:200. The leverage limit for retail Client that decide to trade CFDs on virtual currencies is 1:5.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has formally adopted new measures on the provision of contracts for differences (CFDs)

ESMA has adopted these measures in the official languages of the EU and they will remain in force for a period of three months from the date of application.

The measures have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. They will start to apply from 1 August 2018 for CFDs and will consist of (amongst other measures) a restriction of: leverage limits on opening positions.

Leverage limits on the opening of a position by a retail Client from 30:1 to 2:1, which vary according to the volatility of the underlying:

• 30:1 for major currency pairs;  

• 20:1 for non-major currency pairs, gold and major indices;  

• 10:1 for commodities other than gold and non-major equity indices;  

• 5:1 for individual equities and other reference values;  

• 2:1 for cryptocurrencies;  

If ESMA decides not to prolong the measures the Company will implement the leverage levels as before the implementation of the measures.

12.2. Special Categories:

If under the legal and regulatory requirements of certain foreign jurisdictions that are relevant for the Company’s activities the maximum leverage for affected clients is capped at a level lower than made available, the Company will offer the affected clients the maximum leverage prescribed by the laws and regulation of that foreign jurisdiction (i.e. apply the maximum leverage that is lower than the one made available but limit such application only to the affected clients).

Please note that if a resident of Spain decides to trade with leverage greater than 1:10 a set of additional rules and procedures will become applicable. Such set of additional rules and procedures can be found in section 19.15 of the Company’s Terms & Conditions.

Please also note that due to regulations applicable residents of Poland may only receive leverage up to 1:100.

12.3. For more information please refer to our Margin and Leverage Policy published on our website as well as to Sections 19.16 17 in relation to Spanish and Polish Clients.

20.16. Spanish Clients

The Company trades CFDs. CFD is a product that is complex and difficult to understand. The National Securities Market Commission of Spain (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has determined that, due to the complexity of the CFDs and the risks involved, the purchase of CFDs by retail investors is not appropriate/suitable. A CFD is also a leveraged product and the losses incurred may be greater than the the entire amount invested.

For Clients that are residents of Spain ("Spanish Clients”), that are eligible to trade with leverage greater than 1:10, a special set of required warnings regarding CFDs will be shown by the Company. The Company shall also obtain a typed statement from each of our Spanish Clients acknowledging his or her understanding that CFDs are complex products that are not appropriate/suitable for retail clients.

20.16.1. If we determine that our product is appropriate and suitable for a Spanish Client the following warning will be shown to that Client:

“You are about to purchase a CFD, a product that is complex and difficult to understand. The National Securities Market Commission of Spain (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has determined that, due to the complexity of the CFDs and the risks involved, the purchase of CFDs by retail investors is not appropriate/suitable.

Prior to the first two (2) trades, the Spanish Client will be prompted to electronically sign the pages where the special warning appears and they will be able to make a statement by typing the following wording:

“This product is complex and CNMV has determined that it is not convenient for me”.

20.16.2. if we determine that our product is unsuitable for a Spanish Client the following warning shall be shown to that Client:

“You are about to purchase a CFD, a product that is complex and difficult to understand. The National Securities Market Commission of Spain (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has determined that, due to the complexity of the CFDs and the risks involved, the purchase of CFDs by retail investors is not appropriate/suitable. Capital.com has assessed your knowledge and experience and has determined that CFDs are unsuitable for you.

The CFD you are about to purchase is a leveraged product. Please be aware that the losses incurred may be greater than the entire amount invested.

Please be aware that if you decide to close your position immediately after purchasing you will have to pay [the relevant amount and currency shall be indicated]”.

Prior to the first two (2) trades a Spanish Client will be prompted to electronically sign the pages where the special warning appears and they will be able to make a statement by typing the following wording:

“This product is complex and has been determined as unsuitable for me”.

20.16.3. if we determine that we do not have enough information to assess our CFDs are appropriate/suitable for a Spanish Client the following warning shall be shown to that Client:

“You are about to purchase a CFD, a product that is complex and difficult to understand. The National Securities Market Commission of Spain (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has determined that, due to the complexity of the CFDs and the risks involved, the purchase of CFDs by retail investors is not appropriate/suitable. Capital.com has assessed your knowledge and experience and has determined that is does not have enough information to determine whether the CFDs are convenient for you.

The CFD you are about to purchase is a leveraged product. Please be aware that the losses incurred may be greater than the amount initially invested.

Please be aware that if you decide to close your position immediately after purchasing you will have to pay [the relevant amount and currency shall be indicated]”.

“This is a complex product and due to the lack of information provided, it could not be determined as convenient for me”.

The special warnings for Spanish Clients and their relevant typed statements shall form a part of the contractual documentation between the relevant Spanish Client and the Company. A record will be kept of the typed statements made by Spanish Clients that will be readily available for review and inspection by the CySEC or any other competent authority.

20.16.4. All or our advertising mechanisms that will be available Spanish Clients shall include the following statement:

“Difficult product to understand, CNMV has determined that it is not suitable for retail investors due to its complexity and high risks involved”.

20.16.5. The Spanish Client will be given the opportunity to expressly declare and acknowledge that he or she is fluent in English and therefore can understand and accept all warnings he or she was provided in English as well as acknowledge that he or she understands the relevant typed statement made in English. If the Spanish Client will not be able to make such declaration, all the relevant warnings will be provided in Spanish and the Spanish Client will be asked to type the statement in Spanish.

20.17. Polish Clients

20.17.1. A resident of Poland (“Polish Client”) by accepting these Terms agrees in relation to all of its contractual arrangements with the Company to:

20.17.1.1. the submission of all declarations of intent in electronic form by the Polish Client and the Company;

20.17.1.2. the conclusion of any agreement between the Polish Client and the Company in electronic form, including these Terms;

20.18. French Clients

20.18.1. The provision of Services on CFDs (i) to a non-professional Client, or to a potential Client who cannot be considered to be a professional Client with certainty and (ii) who is located in France at the time of acceptance of these Terms (“French Client”) is automatically subject to the following special procedure of placing and executing a Guaranteed Stop Loss Order:

A Guaranteed Stop Loss Order for a French Client is an order that is automatically attached to all orders of a French Client to close a position at an exact price determined by a French Client that is worse than the current price, but under no circumstances is at the level that can lead to losing more than the French Client initially invested in placing this specific order. A French Client is therefore contractually not provided with the possibility to place a Guaranteed Stop Loss Order at the level that can lead to losing more than he initially invested in a specific order. This order type represents the protection mechanism that structurally prevents a French Client from losing an amount greater than the amount initially invested. When accepting a Guaranteed Stop Loss Order from a French Client we guarantee that when our bid or offer quote goes beyond the specified price, we will close the position at exactly the price specified, in this way we guarantee that a French Client will never lose more than the amount he invested in placing an order. An open position can be closed at the initiative of a French Client before reaching the Guaranteed Stop Loss Order level.
