2. Key information

Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited (HML, us, we, our) is the issuer of the products described in this Product Information Statement (PIS). Should you have any queries about this document, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our contact details are at the start of this PIS.

This PIS is not a regulated document and is not provided under any laws or regulations that apply to us.

This document and related documents do not constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorised, or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. No action has been taken that would permit an offer of this type in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose would be required.

• provide you with the information you need to determine whether the products we offer are appropriate for you needs;
• explain the terms and conditions, rights and obligations associated with our products; and
• help you to compare products.

This PIS does not take into account your financial situation, personal objectives or needs. Before using the products referred to in this PIS you should read it carefully, and then consider your objectives, financial situation and needs and take all reasonable steps to fully understand the possible outcomes of trades and strategies that can be employed using our trading platforms. HML recommends you seek independent financial advice to ensure that a particular product is suited to your financial situation and requirements.

Warning: Trading in the products outlined in this PiS involves the potential for profit as well as the risk of loss which may vastly exceed the amount of money you initially commit to any trade or transaction. Due to the highly leveraged nature of most of our products, the risk for loss is significantly heightened. Movements in the price of foreign exchange, securities or commodities rates are influenced by a variety of factors of global origin many of which are unpredictable. Violent movements in the price of foreign exchange or commodities rates may result in action by the market as a result of which you may be unable to settle adverse trades. HML is unable to guarantee a maximum loss that you may suffer from your trading. By trading with us you do not own or have any rights to underlying instruments.

3. What are we authorised to do?

HML is authorised to give you general advice in relation to non-cash payment products, derivatives and foreign exchange contracts. HML is also authorised to deal in relation to those same products.

This means that we can advise you, without taking into account your personal circumstances, about FX and commodities trading and the general state of the relevant markets. We can also help you open an account with us and use our trading platform services.

HML is also authorised to “make a market” for foreign exchange and derivatives contracts. This allows us to quote market prices to you, including buy and sell prices.

HML provides leveraged foreign exchange and commodities trading services (via our foreign exchange and commodities trading facilities) in both foreign exchange and commodities markets.

4. Foreign exchange (FX), FX pairs and FX indices

HML’s foreign exchange trading service is outlined as follows:
• First, you must set up a trading account with HML.
• You will then need to deposit an Initial Margin of a Base Currency into your newly established HML account before you start trading. HML offers Hantec Trading Station and Meta Trader 4 (“MT4”) for trading. We will tell you what amount you need to deposit before you make the deposit:
1) You can deposit a percentage (typically between 0.5% and 1%) of the Notional Contract Amount:

Example
On some platforms, HML may request you to deposit USD 1,000 for an AUD contract with a Notional Amount of AUD 100,000.

2) You can deposit an amount (eg. USD 1,000 per Contract of 100,000 units of the trading currency):
Example
On other platforms, you need to deposit an amount, such as USD 1,000 for an AUD contract with a Notional Amount of AUD 100,000.

Then, you are ready to trade. You can buy a Contract, which is a financial product that derives its value from an underlying currency, currency pair, or currency index. HML will provide you with a quote setting out the price of the Contract. A Contract’s size can be any amount equal to or greater than 1,000 of a particular trading currency, except for the InterBank Classic platform which requires a minimum contract size of 500,000 of a particular trading currency. You can enter into a Contract online (via our online trading platforms) at a Spot rate of exchange that is quoted by HML. What you are actually buying is a Contract – not the asset itself.

Explanation

The Contract derives its value from an asset (a particular currency, currency pair, or currency index) which is never delivered to you, and you do not have a legal right to, or ownership of the asset. Rather, your rights are attached to the Contract itself.

• You then choose when to sell the Contract (“close out” your position) by taking an opposite position in the market, with the intention of making a profit when the asset moves in the intended direction.
• The profit or loss resulting from the trade will be credited or debited to your account.
• HML has trading rules (including “forced liquidation” and an Initial Margin requirement) to protect HML against loss. The trading rules also help reduce (but not avoid) the risk that you will lose more than your deposited funds (see the section titled “significant risks” below). These trading rules are contained in the section headed ‘Operation of Client Account’ in the HML Terms and Conditions.
• HML usually offers settlement of trades on a T+2 basis. This is a global standard which refers to the trade date, plus two Business Days. When you are trading in currencies, what constitutes a Business Day depends on what currencies you are trading. See “Business Day” in the glossary for more information

Example of a foreign exchange trade

Client X is of the opinion that the EUR will appreciate against the USD in the near future. So he makes a deposit of USD 5,000 into his foreign exchange margin trading account with HML, and buys a contract of EUR/USD at the current quoted market price of 1.2820, which has a contract value of EUR 100,000. (Assume that the required Initial Margin for opening one contract is 1% of the contract value, ie. EUR 1,000 or USD 1,282).

Assume that the EUR/USD depreciates after client X buys the contract, and the EUR/USD exchange rate drops to a level of 1.2370 that day. The floating profit and loss in terms of USD in the account of client A will be USD -4,500 (1.2370 - 1.2820) x 100,000).

The Margin Level of client X now drops from USD 5,000 to USD 500 (USD 5,000 – USD 4,500).

Forced liquidation

If the Margin Level in your account drops below a predetermined level set by HML (e.g. 30% of an Initial Margin or 0.3% of the Notional Contract Amount) or if HML exercises its absolute discretion, then HML is entitled to close out your position at the prevailing market rate without notice to you. HML could do this in order to minimise trading risk and deduct the resulting realised loss from your remaining funds held by HML. You will remain liable for any negative positions which cannot be covered by the closing out of your positions.

Example of forced Liquidation

Assume in the above example, that client X does not deposit extra funds to increase the Margin Level of his account. Assume also that HML has set a close out level of 30% of Initial Margin (US$1,282 x 30% = US$384.60). Finally, assume that the EUR/USD exchange rate keeps depreciating from 1.2370 to 1.2358. The Margin Level of client X will drop further from USD 500 to USD 380. The floating profit and loss in client X’s account will now be USD - 4,620 (1.2358 – 1.2820) x 100,000).

The close out position is now less than 30% of the required Initial Margin (USD 1,282), i.e. USD 384.60, so HML will close out client X’s position by selling one contract of EUR/USD at the current market rate. Assume the current market rate has depreciated further to 1.2355.

The realised profit and loss which will be incurred in client X’s account will be USD -4,650 ((1.2355 - 1.2820) x 100,000)). The final margin in client X’s account will be USD 350. (USD 5,000 – USD 4,650)

The client remains entitled to the USD 350 balance in their account.

5. Commodities and commodities indices

Trading in commodities operates in the same manner as foreign exchange trading, except the underlying asset is a commodity. Examples of metal commodities include Loco London Gold (LLG) and Loco London Silver. Commodities often have prices quoted in US currency. You can also trade on indices of commodities, such as the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index.

When using our services, you can only trade on the quoted Spot Rate for commodities contracts.

In the same way as described in section 4, above, we do not deliver the physical underlying assets to you, and you have no legal right to it. Rather, settlement is made by cash based on the difference between the buy and sell rates of the Contracts.

Example of commodities trading

Client X is of the opinion that the price of gold will appreciate against the USD in the near future, so he makes a deposit of USD 4,000 into his margin trading account with HML, and buys 2 contracts of LLG at the Spot Rate gold price of USD 1,300. Each contract represents 100 ounces of LLG, and has a value of USD 130,000 (USD 1,300 x 100).

In this example, HML requires an Initial Margin of USD 1,000 for buying 1 contract of LLG, therefore client X is required to make an Initial Margin payment of USD 2,000 in order to purchase 2 contracts of LLG.

Assuming that the gold price rises from USD 1,300 to USD 1,350 over the course of the day, then the floating profit or loss for client X is calculated as USD 10,000 (USD 1,350 – USD 1,300) X 100 X 2)

The leverage (gearing) ratio for this trade is calculated using the following formula:

By utilising our margin trading service and depositing USD 4,000 as the Initial Margin for the purchase of 2 contracts of LLG, client X has magnified his investment exposure by a ratio of 65 ((1,300 x 100 x 2) / 4,000).

Therefore in this instance, Client X has made a relatively large profit as a result of a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying commodity. This is possible due to the magnifying effect of margin trading.

Forced liquidation

If the Margin Level in your account drops below a predetermined level set by HML (e.g. 30% of an Initial Margin or 0.3% of the Notional Contract Amount) or if HML exercises its absolute discretion, then HML is entitled to close out your position at the prevailing market rate without notice to you. HML could do this in order to minimise trading risk and deduct the resulting realised loss from your remaining funds held by HML. You will remain liable for any negative positions which cannot be covered by the closing out of your positions.

Refer to “Example of forced Liquidation” in the “Foreign Exchange (FX) Trading” section of this PIS. If the underlying asset in this asset was a commodity, a forced Liquidation would work in the same manner.

6. Securities indices

Trading in securities operates in the same manner as foreign exchange trading, except the underlying asset is a securities indices. Examples of securities indices are ASX200, FTSE100 and NASDAQ100. Securities indices have prices quoted in the currency of their country of origin.

When using our services, you can only trade on the quoted Spot Rate for securities index contracts.

In the same way as described in section 4, above, we do not deliver the physical underlying assets to you, and you have no legal right to it. Rather, settlement is made by cash based on the difference between the buy and sell rates of the Contracts.

Example of securities indices trading

Client X is of the opinion that the value of the ASX200 will increase in the near future, so he makes a deposit of USD 5,000 into his margin trading account with HML, and buys 2 ASX200 contracts at the Spot Rate of USD 5500 .

In this example, HML requires an Initial Margin of USD 80 (USD80*spot rate AUD/USD) for buying 1 ASX200 contract, therefore client X is required to make an Initial Margin payment of USD 160 in order to purchase 2 ASX200 contracts.

Assuming that the value of the ASX200 rises from USD 5500 to USD5510 over the course of the day, then the floating profit or loss for client X is calculated as USD 20 (5510*2 – 5500*2).

The leverage (gearing) ratio for this trade is calculated using the following formula:

By utilising our margin trading service and depositing USD 160 as the Initial Margin for the purchase of 2 ASX200 contracts, client X has magnified his investment exposure by a ratio of 68.75 (11000/160) .

Therefore in this instance, Client X has made a relatively large profit as a result of a relatively small movement in the price of the underlying securities index. This is possible due to the magnifying effect of margin trading. If the value of the ASX200 had decreased, Client X may have made a large loss.

Dividends

Dividend payments are applicable to most cash indices and will be applied as debit/credit along with the rollover to your open positions (see section 13 for an explanation of rollovers). Adjustments will apply on the eve of the ex-dividend date of the constituent members of the relevant Index. The adjustment will appear as a debit or credit cash entry.

When an equity goes ex-dividend, the price of that equity theoretically decreases by the dividend amount. In practice, this does not always happen as there are many market forces affecting an equity price. The amount of points an index cash CFD drops by is dependent on the weighting of the equity within the index. If more than one constituent equity of an index CFD goes ex-dividend on the same day, the amount of points each equity will theoretically cause the sector or index to drop by is added together to calculate the total amount of dividend points or "drop points".

Where an index is a Total Return Index, dividend payments will not be credited/debited.

Forced liquidation

If the Margin Level in your account drops below a predetermined level set by HML (e.g. 30% of an Initial Margin or 0.3% of the Notional Contract Amount) or if HML exercises its absolute discretion, then HML is entitled to close out your position at the prevailing market rate without notice to you. HML could do this in order to minimise trading risk and deduct the resulting realised loss from your remaining funds held by HML. You will remain liable for any negative positions which cannot be covered by the closing out of your positions.

Refer to “Example of forced Liquidation” in the “Foreign Exchange (FX) Trading” section of this PIS. If the underlying asset in this asset was a securities index, a forced Liquidation would work in the same manner.

7. Conversion of currency

Your trading account with HML is normally denominated in a “Base Currency” which is often USD. In order to trade, you may need to convert existing funds into USD or another Base Currency. For example, you can generally only buy or sell certain commodities and commodities indices using USD. If you deposit AUD into your account, you will be required to convert it to USD before trading.

You can use your own bank to convert your currency into USD, if you wish.

Alternatively, HML can convert your funds by first quoting you a spot price pursuant to its usual HML Terms and Conditions which you will have already signed. If you choose to accept HML’s quoted prices, then the transaction will usually take place immediately, upon receipt of your cleared funds. The new currency will be delivered to your HML account.

HML will also convert the realised trading profit or loss in your account into USD or another Base Currency at the closing price of the relevant currency immediately proceeding to the trade day.

8. Trading Facilities

We are able to provide trading facilities through our online trading platforms.

Our online trading platforms are internet based tools for you to trade on foreign exchange and commodities contracts. In this PIS, when we refer to foreign exchange trading or commodities trading, we are referring to our online trading platforms.

Our website homepage has clearly identifiable links that provide more details about our online trading platforms. Please visit our website to get a free copy of these documents. Please contact us if you do not have access to our website.

9. Benefit and Risks

The benefits and risks of using our services are set out as follows:

b) Significant risks
There are a number of risks in using our trading facilities. These risks may lead to unfavourable financial outcomes. Monitoring of any risks associated with our trading facilities is your responsibility. You should seek independent legal, financial and taxation advice prior to commencing trading activities and should not use our services unless you fully understand the products, and the benefits and risks associated with them. Some of the risks associated with using our trading facilities include:

i. Unforeseen Circumstances
If we are unable to perform our obligations to you due to reasons beyond our control then we will attempt to return any money paid by you. We may also suspend our obligations to you during periods of market disturbance if it is impractical or not possible to trade in relevant financial markets. We will inform you if any of these events occur.

ii. Market volatility
Foreign exchange and commodities markets are subject to many influences which may result in rapid fluctuations. Because of this market volatility, no foreign exchange or commodities transaction which is available via our trading facilities can be considered “risk free”.
Given the potential levels of volatility, it is recommended that you closely monitor your transactions at all times.
You can eliminate some of the downside risk by the use of Stop Loss Orders. If you use a Stop Loss Order we will enter into a position opposite to your existing position if the exchange rate or commodities price reaches a level specified by you in advance. However, in a volatile market, there may be a substantial time lag between order placement and execution. This can mean that the entry or exit price may be significantly lower or higher than the price at which the sell (or buy) order (including a Stop Loss Order) was placed. This is known as “gapping”, and HML does not guarantee that the Stop Loss Order will be successful in limiting your downside risk, which may be greater than you initially anticipated.

iii. Market risk
If you enter into a transaction for the purpose of trading an asset, you will be exposed to changes in the relevant asset market. These changes may result in losses to you which are in addition to any gains or losses resulting from fluctuations on currency markets.

iv. Leverage risk
The use of our margin foreign exchange and commodities facilities involves a high degree of leverage. You can outlay a relatively small Initial Margin which secures a significantly larger exposure to an underlying currency. The use of margin trading facilities magnifies the size of your trade, consequently your potential gain and your potential loss is equally magnified. You should closely monitor all of your open positions. If the market moves against you and your Initial Margin deposit is diminished, we may automatically close out your position by entering into an equal and opposite position once pre-set limits are triggered (refer to the example of forced liquidation). Any remaining balance will be returned to you.

v. Counterparty risk
Given you are dealing with us as a counterparty to every transaction, you will have an exposure to us in relation to each transaction. In all cases, you are reliant on our ability to meet our obligations to you under the terms of each transaction. This risk is sometimes described as counterparty risk.
You are also subject to our credit risk. If our business becomes insolvent we may be unable to meet our obligations to you. You can assess our financial ability to meet these counterparty obligations to you by reviewing financial information about our company. You can obtain a free copy of our financial statements by contacting us by using the details at the start of this PIS.

vi. Bank risks
If our bank (or a bank in which funds are held on our behalf) becomes insolvent then we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.

vii. Market Information
We may in the future make available to you a broad range of financial information generated internally or obtained from agents, vendors or partners (“Third Party Providers”). This includes, but is not limited to, financial market data, quotes, prices, news, analyst opinions and research reports, graphs or data (”Market Information”).
Market Information provided by us through our website is not intended as advice and we do not endorse or approve the Market Information. We make it available to you only as a service for your own convenience. We and any Third Party Providers do not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, completeness or correct sequencing of the Market Information or warrant any results from your use or reliance on the Market Information.
Market Information may quickly become unreliable for various reasons including, for example, changes in market conditions or economic circumstances. Neither us nor the Third Party Providers are obligated to update any information or opinions contained in any Market Information and we may discontinue offering Market Information at any time without notice.

viii. Systems Risks
We rely on technology to provide our foreign exchange and commodities trading facilities to you. A disruption to the facility may mean you are unable to trade when you want to. Alternatively, an existing transaction may be aborted as a result of a technology failure. An example of disruption includes the “crash” of the computer systems used to operate the online facility. We manage this risk by having state-of-the-art IT systems and backup measures.

ix. Use and Access to our Website
You are responsible for providing and maintaining the means by which you access our website. These may include, without limitation, a personal computer, modem or other access system available to you.
While the internet is generally reliable, technical problems or other conditions may delay or prevent you from accessing our website. If you are unable to access the internet and thus, our online facility, it may mean you are unable to enter into asset transactions when desired and you may suffer a loss as a result.

x. Cyber Security Risks
Cyber security risks are a major threat to businesses around the world. We cannot guarantee against third party interference to our website and trading facility, or to the technology provided by third parties upon which we rely. This means that you may be exposed to issues arising from any third party interference which may occur. Examples include:- unauthorised access to our or your IT systems or devices, data breaches, business interruption, errors in pricing feeds or inability to access your account or close positions. In the worst case scenario, financial loss may occur. We take this risk seriously and manage it by ongoing monitoring of our IT systems, protection and backup measures (including virus protection software). You can limit your risk by ensuring that you have up-to-date software for the devices that you use to access our trading facilities and ensuring that you use strong passwords which are kept confidential and secure.

xi. Latency and price feed risk
Internet, connectivity delays and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where the prices displayed on our trading screen do not accurately reflect market rates. We are not responsible for any loss which you sustain as a result, and we may take action to recover any loss sustained by us as a result, including repairing, reversing, opening, and/or rolling over new or existing positions.

xii. Third party trading
Third party trading can be risky. Third party trading services are often called “money managers”, “expert advisers” or “mirror trading plugins”. They may enable your account to mirror trades made by third party asset managers. They may claim to exploit price latency across platforms or markets. They may promise exceptional returns. Our platforms may allow you to plug in or otherwise connect to third parties. Some providers of third party plugins may charge you fees, and others do not. Some are approved by us, and others are not. Regardless of our approval, we are not responsible for, and will not indemnify you for loss which arises out of your reliance on any statements made by their makers or promoters, or any loss incurred in connection with third party plugins that you use.

Key risks when using third party trades or software include:
• You can lose control of your trades and suffer financial loss.
• Any software may stop working and you are stuck with open positions and you suffer financial loss.
• You can lose more money than your initial deposit.
• It may result in you being margin calledand your positions may be liquidated.
• Some are offered by fraudulent or illegal / underground entities in remote parts of the world.
• Some create or are otherwise affected by price latency which may result in significant losses on your account due to inaccurate pricing.

If promoters of these plugins or trading services make promises that are too good to be true, then you should avoid them. You should never provide your account user name or password to a third party without our express consent – to do so would be a breach of the Terms of Business. You are wholly responsible for managing the risks (including the risk of loss) associated with using third parties.

xiii. Client money co-mingling risk
The funds recorded in your trading account will be held in a designated bank account by us or on our behalf. Those funds are held on our own account and not on your account. Neither we nor any other person is holding funds you deposit (or that are or may become payable to you) as a trustee for you or in any fiduciary capacity with respect to you. As between us and you, you are our creditor with respect to any funds held by us or on behalf. You do not have and relinquish the right to any interest on funds deposited with HML (or with any other person on our behalf). Individual client accounts are not separated from each other but instead are pooled together.

10. The costs involved in using HML products

Please refer to our current FSG for a description of how HML, its employees and related parties are paid, and for information about the Spread, conversion costs, administrative charges, rollover interest and commission that may be payable in relation to the products described in this PIS. You can find this information (with worked examples) in Section 5 and 6 of the current FSG. You can obtain a free copy of the FSG by contacting us using the details at the start of this PIS.

11. How do the online trading platforms work?

To make a trade using our online trading platforms you must first register with HML by filling out the registration form either provided to you at the same time as this PIS, or located at https://www.hantecvanuatu.com/. A pre-condition to successful registration is an acknowledgement by you that you have read this Product Disclosure Statement, the Financial Services Guide and that you have read and agreed to be bound by the HML Terms and Conditions. There may also be other terms and conditions that you will need to agree to, if you are outside of Vanuatu.

Once you are registered, you will be able to login to the relevant platform using the username(s) and password(s) you have selected.

b) If you are trading with respect to any of our other products:

Once logged in, a number of windows will pop up in the platform. In order to place a trade, you first select a currency pair, commodity, other asset (eg. share) or index from the trade window. For example, you can choose the currency pair of EUR/USD. Once you have selected a currency pair, commodity, asset or index, you need to select the amount you wish to invest by buying/selling your intended number of contracts.

HML offers you “leverage trading”. This effectively means you can notionally borrow money to make your trade bigger. You can limit your maximum losses to a percentage of the value of your investment by setting up a stop loss order. However, as stated in “Significant Risks (ii)” above, you should be aware that due to external factors we may be unable to comply with your Stop Loss Order and you may suffer greater losses as a result.

If you are choosing a currency pair you determine which currency is going to be bought and which is going to be sold.

The “bid” price of a currency is the price at which HML has offered to buy from you a currency against the other currency in the currency pair and the “ask” price represents the price at which HML has offered to sell to you a currency against the other currency. The difference between the bid and ask represents the “Spread”.

Once the trade has been executed, the particulars of that trade will be communicated to you either by post or electronically via the trading platform or by email. You can transfer money into or out of your account, subject to our HML Terms and Conditions.

12. How are our Contract prices calculated?

We cannot predict future exchange rates or the prices of indices, commodities or other assets, and our quotations on our website are not a forecast of where we believe the rates or prices will be at a future date. The decision to transact at a particular rate or price will always be your decision.

The calculation of the price to be paid (or the payout to be received) for Contracts offered by us, at the time the Contract is purchased or sold, will be based on our best estimate of market prices and the expected level of interest rates, implied volatilities and other market conditions during the life of the contract and is based on a complex arithmetic calculation.

The Contract prices (or the payout amounts) we offer to you when hedging, trading or speculating on market prices may differ from prices available in the primary or underlying markets where contracts are traded. This is due to the Spread in the price calculation that favours us. Different Spreads are used depending on the value of the contract. These are subject to our right to make corrections in the event of mis-priced or typographically incorrect data.

We do not provide a market amongst or between clients for investment or speculation. Each transaction you enter into is an individual agreement made between us and you as a principal and is not transferable, negotiable or assignable to any third party.

Trades that are not covered or terminated prior to 17:00 New York Time (or any other time specified by us and communicated to you pursuant to the HML Terms and Conditions) are held overnight (“rolled over”) and will result in you paying or receiving interest. This is known as rollover or differential interest. Rollover refers to the interest you may earn or be charged daily on your open positions.

13. Terms and Conditions

Our HML Terms and Conditions are provided to you at the beginning of the registration process and must be read and signed or assented to before a contract is entered into. If you are outside Vanuatu, there may be other terms and conditions you will be required to sign or acknowledge.

When you use our services you will be bound to HML’s terms and conditions as amended from time to time, along with any other terms you are required to sign or acknowledge (for example, if you are outside of Vanuatu). However, in the event of inconsistency, the terms in the legal documents described below will rank according to the following priority, to the extent of any inconsistency:
1. This PIS
2. HML Terms and Conditions
3. Account Opening Form

The information in this PIS is subject to change from time to time and is up to date as at the date stated above.

Information in this PIS that is not materially adverse to users of our products is subject to change and may be updated via our company website (see contact details on page 1). You can access that information by visiting the website, or telephoning us and asking for an electronic or paper copy. You can also access the website which may contain, from time to time, other information about our products.

All foreign exchange, commodities contracts with HML are agreed through our online trading platforms. The applicable submission of an order on the online trading platform in addition to the HML Terms and Conditions constitutes the entire contract between HML and the client with respect to that particular transaction.

HML only provides general advice. That means that, unless stated otherwise, it does not take into account your financial objectives, financial situation or needs, and you will need to decide yourself whether the product is appropriate for you. You should read this document in detail to help you form that decision.

There is no cooling off period for any product offered by HML. You must provide all information to us, which we reasonably require of you to comply with any law in Vanuatu or any other country. In particular, you must provide adequate identification before you can use our products or services. We may delay, block or refuse to enter, adjust or complete a transaction if we believe on reasonable grounds that making the payment may breach any law in Vanuatu or any other country, and we will incur no liability if it does so. We may disclose any information that you provide to a relevant authority where required by any law in Vanuatu or any other country.

Unless you have disclosed to us that you are acting in trustee capacity or on behalf of another party, you warrant that you are acting on your own behalf when obtaining this service from HML.

When you use our services, you are promising that you will not breach any law in Vanuatu or any other country or jurisdiction.

We reserve the right to suspend the operation of our website and online facility or any part or sections of them. In such an event, we may, at our sole discretion (with or without notice), close out your open positions at prices we consider fair and reasonable.

We may impose volume limits on client accounts, at our sole discretion.

14. Stopping or cancelling a payment

Should you wish to cancel or alter any Contract you have entered into with HML, it will be at our complete discretion. If, at your request, we cancel or alter your contract, you may have to pay any costs for exchange rate losses that are incurred.

15. Tax implications

Entering into Contracts with us can create tax implications. Generally, if you make a gain attributable to an exchange rate or price fluctuation then that part of the gain is included in your assessable income. Conversely, if you make a loss attributable to an exchange rate or price fluctuation then that part of the loss is deducted from your assessable income. However, the taxation laws are complex and vary depending on your personal circumstance and the purpose of your currency trading. Accordingly, you should discuss any taxation questions you may have with your tax adviser before using our products or services.

16. What are our different roles?

HML is the product issuer. This means that we issue the products described in this document, and do not act on behalf of anyone else.

HML is also the service provider. Our Representatives can give you general advice and help you use the trading services.

17. What should you do if you have a complaint?

In the event you have a complaint about HML, you can contact your HML Representative and discuss your complaint. If you are overseas, HML may refer you to an overseas dispute resolution body.

18. Glossary

USD

United States dollar.

AUD

Australian dollar.

Base Currency

This is the currency in which your trading account is denominated. For example, if it is USD, you can only transfer USD into that account. The profit or loss is also converted into that currency.

Business Day

A Business Day is a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange) in Vanuatu and the host countries of the relevant currencies, indices, commodities or other assets (eg. shares).

Contract

This is a contract which you may enter in to with HML. It derives its value from an underlying instrument (such as a currency, a currency pair, a commodity such as gold or silver, another asset such as a company share, or an index such as a shares or commodities index). A Contract does not involve any legal rights with respect to the underlying assets, and nor does it create a right or obligation on either party to deliver the underlying asset(s). Rather, settlement is made by cash based on the difference between the buy and sell rates of the Contracts.

EUR

Euro – the official currency of the European Union.

Forced Liquidation

This is described in Section 4 of this PIS.

FSG

Financial Services Guide – issued by HML.

FX

Foreign Exchange

HML Terms and Conditions

These are the terms and conditions that you are required to properly execute before you can use the products described in this PIS. You can obtain a free copy of this document by contacting us using the details at the start of this PIS.

Initial Margin

HML requires an Initial Margin before you can trade. An Initial Margin is the minimum margin requirement for clients to trade and is typically 1% of the contract amount (e.g. you need to deposit USD 1,000 for a contract with a Notional Amount of AUD 100,000) or an amount set by HML, (eg. USD 1,000 per Contract of 100,000 units of the trading currency). HML will tell you what Initial Margin is required before you trade. HML may vary the Initial Margin at its own discretion.

InterBank Classic Platform

This is one of the platforms HML allows some clients to use. A minimum contract size of 500,000 or above, of a particular trading currency is required for opening new positions in this platform.

Margin Level

The equity or balance of funds in your account.

New York Time

New York Eastern Standard Time.

Notional Contract Amount or Notional Amount

This refers to the value of your contract, which is only notional because you don’t have a legal right to the full amount. For example, if your Initial Margin is USD 1,000 which is only 1% of the Contract size, then the Notional Contract Amount (or Notional Amount) is USD 100,000.

PIS

Product Information Statement.

Representative

Includes a director or employee of HML, and a director or employee any company related to HML, as well as any other entity that is appointed as an authorised Representative of HML.

Spot Rate

The price that currency, index, commodity or other asset is quoted at, for an immediate "on the spot" transaction.

Spread

Foreign exchange, index, commodities or other asset (eg. shares) transactions incur costs relating to the Spread between the bid price and ask price. The "bid price" is the price at which we are willing to notionally buy currency, indices, commodities or other assets from clients and the "ask price" is the price at which we are willing to notionally sell to clients. This price difference is called the “Spread”. The price difference of this Spread will depend on factors such as the size and value of the transaction and prevailing market rates. This Spread is paid by you, but is incorporated into the quoted rates and is not an additional charge or fee payable by you above those quoted rates.

Stop Loss Order

An order by the client to close out a Contract when a certain profit or loss is incurred in the client’s open position.

T+2

This refers to “2 Business Days after the trade day”.

提示：產品信息聲明所列出的交易種類涉及潛在的利潤及虧損風險，而利潤或虧損金額可能遠遠超過閣下就任何買賣或交易最初投入的金額。由于我們的大部分產品具有高杠杆性，其虧損的風險非常高。外匯價格， 證券或商品價格水平的變動受到來自全球各地的多種不同因素影響，而其中許多因素都屬於難以預測。外匯價格或商品價格水平的劇烈變動可能導致市場作出反應，令閣下無法處理不利的交易。HML無法保證閣下在交易中可能蒙受的最高損失金額。

3.本公司能夠做什麼？

HML可以提供有關信息包括非現金付款的產品、衍生工具及外匯合約給零售和大宗買賣客人。HML亦能夠就上述同類產品提供交易服務。

這意味著本公司在並無考慮到閣下的個人狀況的情況下，可就外匯及商品買賣；和相關市場的整體狀況，向閣下提供具體信息。本公司亦可協助閣下在本公司開立賬戶及充分利用本公司的交易平台服務。

HML可借助外匯及商品交易設施，在外匯及商品交易市場提供以槓桿形式進行的外匯及商品買賣服務。

4.外匯交易，貨幣對及貨幣指數

HML的外匯買賣服務概述如下：

. 首先，閣下需要在HML開立交易賬戶。
. 之後，閣下需要以基準貨幣將最初保證金存入新開立的HML賬戶，方可開始交易。視乎所使用的平台，閣下必須以下列兩種方式存入最初保證金。
本公司會在閣下存款前告知閣下需要存入的金額：
1)閣下可按名義合約金額的某個百分比（一般介乎0.5%至1%）存入保證金：
例子
於某些平台，HML會就名義金額為100,000美元的美元合約要求閣下存入1,000美元。
2) 閣下可按某個金額（例如就每張100,000個交易貨幣單位的合約存入1,000美元）存入保證金：
例子
於其他平台，閣下需要存入某個金額，例如就名義金額為100,000澳元的澳元合約存入1,000美元。

然後，閣下便可進行交易。閣下可以買入合約，合約是從標的貨幣，貨幣對或貨幣指數衍生價值的金融產品。HML會為閣下提供合約價格的報價。合約大小可以是等於或大於1,000個特定交易貨幣單位的任何金額，惟InterBank Classic平台要求的合約大小下限為500,000個特定交易貨幣單位。閣下可通過HML的網上交易平台開立合約與HML進行交易。閣下實際買入的是合約而非資產本身。

解釋
合約的價值衍生自永不會交付予閣下的資產（例如特定的貨幣，貨幣對或貨幣指數），閣下並不擁有資產的法律權益或所有權。閣下的權利實際上是附於合約本身。

. 閣下可選擇何時在市場上透過反向操作將合約賣出（「平倉」），目的是當資產以與預期一致的方向變動時賺取利潤。
. 從交易產生的盈利或虧損將會記入閣下的賬戶或從閣下的賬戶中扣除。
. HML設有交易規則（包括「強制平倉」及一項最初保證金規定），以保障 HML免受損失。交易規則亦有助降低（但不能避免）閣下的損失將會超過閣下所存入款項的風險（請參閱下文「重大風險」一節）。有關交易規則載於HML條款及條件協議書，名為“操作客戶賬戶”的章節。
. HML通常按T+2基準進行交易結算。這是全球通行的標準，即交易日期加兩個營業日。當進行貨幣交易時，營業日的定義取決於閣下所交易的貨幣。請參閱詞彙中關於「營業日」的詳細定義。

外匯交易例子
客戶X認為歐羅將會於短期內兌美元上升。因此，他將5,000美元存入其於HML開立的外匯保證金交易賬戶，並以當前的市場報價1.2820買入一張歐羅／美元合約，合約價值為100,000歐羅（假設開立一張合約需要支付的最初保證金為合約價值的1%，即1,000歐羅或1,282美元）。

假設在客戶X買入合約後，歐羅兌美元下跌，而歐羅兌美元匯價於當日下跌至1.2370水平。該客戶的賬面利潤或虧損（以美元計算）將會是-4,500美元（（1.2370-1.2820）× 100,000）。

客戶X目前的保證金水平由5,000美元降至500美元（5,000美元–4,500美元）。

強制平倉
假如閣下賬戶中的保證金水平低於HML預先設定的水平（例如最初保證金的30%或名義合約金額的0.3%），或假如HML行使其絕對酌情權，則HML有權在未通知閣下的情況下，以當前的市場價格為閣下平倉。HML可作出該項決定，是為了盡量降低交易風險，並將由此產生的已變現虧損從閣下存放在HML的餘下資金中扣除。閣下仍須對平倉未能彌補的任何損失負責。

強制平倉例子
假設在上述例子中，客戶X並無存入額外資金以提高其賬戶的保證金水平。同時假設HML將平倉水平定為最初保證金的30%（1,282美元× 30% = 384.60美元）。最後，假設歐羅兌美元匯率從1.2370持續下跌至1.2358。
客戶X的保證金水平將從500美元進一步下跌至380美元。客戶X的賬戶中的賬面利潤或虧損將為-4,620美元（（1.2358 - 1.2820）× 100,000）。

平倉後頭寸目前低於規定的最初保證金（1,282美元）的30%，即 384.60美元，因此HML會以目前的市場匯價售出一張歐羅／美元合約，為客戶X平倉。假設目前的市場價格進一步下跌至1.2355。

客戶X的保證金水平將從500美元進一步下跌至380美元。客戶X的賬戶中的賬面利潤或虧損將為-4,620美元（（1.2358 - 1.2820）× 100,000）。

平倉後頭寸目前低於規定的最初保證金（1,282美元）的30%，即 384.60美元，因此HML會以目前的市場匯價售出一張歐羅／美元合約，為客戶X平倉。假設目前的市場價格進一步下跌至1.2355。

客戶X帳戶中將產生的已變現利潤或虧損將為-4.650美元((1.2355-1.2820)X100,000)。客戶X帳戶中的最終保證金將為350美元。(5,000美元-4,650美元)

客戶仍擁有其帳戶中的餘額350美元。

5.商品及商品指數

商品及商品指數買賣與外匯買賣的操作方式相同，不同之處在於相關資產是商品。例如金屬商品包括本地倫敦金（LLG）或本地倫敦銀（LLS）。商品均以美元報價。閣下同樣可以選擇交易商品指數，例如道瓊斯-AIG商品指數。

當閣下使用本公司的服務時，只可以按現貨報價買賣商品合約。

與上文第4節所述一致，本公司不會向閣下交付相關實物資產（例如石油，銅，穀物或牲畜），閣下亦無相關資產的法律權益。本公司會根據合約的買賣差價以現金結算。

強制平倉
假如閣下賬戶中的保證金水平低於HML預先設定的水平（例如最初保證金的30%或名義合約金額的0.3%），或假如HML行使其絕對酌情權，則HML有權在未通知閣下的情況下，以當前的市場價格為閣下平倉。HML可作出該項決定，是為了盡量降低交易風險，並將由此產生的已變現虧損從閣下存放在HML的餘下資金中扣除。閣下仍須對平倉未能彌補的任何損失負責。

請參照本PIS“外匯買賣”章節中強制平倉的例子。如果標的資產是商品，強制平倉的操作方式相同。

合約到期
標的商品原油和銅的差價合約到期時長為一個月。所有美國原油和英國原油合約的未平倉倉位將會在交割當日（紐約時間16:15）按照HML所給出的買/賣價格進行平倉。所有銅的差價合約未平倉倉位倉位將會在交割當日（紐約時間16:00）按照HML所給出的買/賣價格進行平倉。閣下可以聯繫我們獲取一份最新的商品差價合約的到期日清單。

合約到期日例子
客戶X有一個未平倉的美國原油合約，他的買入價格是在60美元。美國原油在合約到期前一日交易價格為61美元。在交割當日客戶X的美國原油的倉位被平倉，61美金將被轉入客戶X的賬戶。同時所有止損單被取消。

6. 證券指數

證券指數的交易方式與外匯交易方式相同， 除標的資產為證券指數以外。以ASX200指數，富時100指數及納斯達克100指數為例。証券指數價格是以發行國的貨幣報價。

當使用我們的產品交易證券指數合約時，閣下只能使用我們提供的即期報價。

與上文第4節所述一致，本公司不會向閣下交付相關實物資產，閣下亦無相關資產的法律權益。本公司會根據合約的買賣差價以現金結算。

證券指數交易例子
客戶X認為 ASX200 在未來將會上漲，他在HML的保證金交易賬戶中 存入5,000美元, 並且以5500美元的現貨價格買入2張 ASX200合約。 在這個例子中，如購買一個ASX200合同，HML需要80美元的初始保証金（USD80* AUD/ USD），因此客戶 X購買2張ASX200合同需要支付160美元初始保證金 。

假設ASX 200指數在一天當中從5,500美元升至5,510 美元，客戶X的賬面盈虧則是20美元（計算公式 為5,510*2 – 5,500*2）。

這次交易的槓桿比率可用以下方程式計算：

槓桿比率 = 目前ASX價值（美元）X 合約張數 / 初始保證金

客戶X通過使用本公司的保證金交易服務，為買入兩份 ASX200指數差價合約而存入160美元的初始保證金， 將其投資頭寸放大了68.75倍（11000/160）。

因此，在這個情況中，客戶X由相關標的指數相對較小的 價格變動，而賺取較大的盈利。這種情況的出現是由於保 證金交易具有放大效應。但是如果ASX200指數價格下跌 ，客戶X也將承擔較大的損失。

股息
股息支付適用於大部分現貨指數，並且同閣下未平倉合約隔夜息差（詳見第13條隔夜息差解釋）一併適用。股息將會在相關指數除息日之前做出調整。

當遇一支股票的除息日時，理論上這一支股票的價格應減去 這段時期內應放股息紅利數。在實踐中，並不總是這樣，因 為一支股票的價格受很多市場因數影響。現金指數差價合約 下跌的價格依賴於指數中這一支股票的權重。如果一個指數 差價合約中有多家股票在同一日除息，那麼下跌價格或“下跌 點數”可能是這些股票股息紅利的總和。

如果是全收益指數，那麼股息分紅將不被記入/扣除。

強制平倉
如果閣下的保証金水平下降至低於HML設定的預定水平HML（如初始保証金的30%或名義合同金額的0.3％），或者如果HML行使其絕對酌情權，那麼麼HML有權在不通知 閣下的情況 下，以當前的市場價格為 閣下平倉。HML之所以這麼做是為 了降低交易風險，由此實現的虧損將從 閣下在HML的賬戶資 金餘額中扣除。如果全部賬戶餘額不夠彌補該損失，那麼賬 戶餘額扣除為零之後餘下的部分仍由 閣下負責。 請參照在本PIS中的“外匯交易，貨幣對及貨幣指數”一節中的“ 強制平倉例子”。如果該資產的標的資產是証券指數，將會以 同樣的方式強制平倉的操作方式相同。

7.貨幣兌換

閣下的交易帳戶一般會使用基準貨幣作交易，通常會是美元。因此，閣下或者有需要將資金兌換成美元或其他基準貨幣。例如，閣下一般買賣商品或股票指數時就會使用美元。假如閣下將澳元存入閣下的賬戶，閣下須在開始買賣前將其兌換成美元。

如有需要，閣下可透過閣下的銀行，將閣下的貨幣兌換成美元。

此外，HML亦可根據其一般條款及條件，先向閣下報出現貨價，然後為閣下的資金進行兌換。假如閣下選擇接受HML的報價，則在收到閣下的清算資金後，交易通常會立即進行。新貨幣將會交付至閣下的HML賬戶。

HML亦將於緊接交易日前，將閣下賬戶中已變現的交易利潤或虧損，以相關貨幣的收市價兌換成為美元或另一種基準貨幣。

8.交易設施

本公司能夠透過交易室內的交易員或透過本公司的網上交易平台，為閣下提供交易設施。

本公司的網上交易平台是一個以互聯網為基礎的工具，可供閣下買賣外匯和商品合約。在本聲明中，當本公司提及外匯交易或商品時，包含本公司的網上交易平台

本公司的網站主頁載有清晰的連結，提供更多有關本公司網 上交易平台的詳情。請瀏覽本公司網站，免費索取有關文件。如閣下未能瀏覽本公司網站，請與本公司聯絡。

9.優點與風險

使用本公司的服務的優點和風險如下：

a) 重大優點
使用本公司的外匯和金銀交易設施有多項優點。本公司的交易設施的優點包括：

b) 重大風險
使用本公司的交易設施涉及多項風險。這些風險可能導致出現不利的財務結果。閣下有責任監察與本公司的交易設施有關的任何風險。閣下應在進行買賣活動前尋求獨立的法律、財務及稅務意見，並且除非閣下已完全明白有關產品及與其有關的優點及風險，否則不應使用本公司的服務。使用本公司的交易設施所涉及的若干風險包括：

10.利用外匯及金銀交易設施涉及的成本

請參閱本公司目前的金融服務指南，以便了解有關如何支付HML，其僱員及有關人士的詳情，以及獲取就本聲明所述產品可能須支付的差價、兌換成本、行政費用、隔夜利息及佣金的資料。閣下可於目前的金融服務指南第5及6節查閱有關資料（連同例子）。閣下可使用本聲明開端的資料聯絡本公司，免費索取指南。

11.網上交易平台如何運作？

使用本公司的網上交易平台進行交易：閣下首先需要向HML登記，方法為填寫與本聲明一起提供予閣下或位於https://www.hantecvanuatu.com/的登記表格。順利登記的先決條件是閣下須確認已細閱本產品信息聲明、金融服務指南，以及閣下已細閱HML條款及條件並同意受其約束。如閣下位於境外，則可能還須同意其他條款及條件。

當閣下完成登記後，即可使用閣下的使用者名稱及密碼，在網上登入相關平台的賬戶。

如果進行HML提供的其他交易產品
當登入後，平台將彈出多個窗口。閣下如欲進行交易，首先應從交易窗口中選擇貨幣對，商品，其他資產（如股票）或指數。例如， 閣下可以選擇歐羅／美元的貨幣組合。當閣下選定某一貨幣對，商品資產或指數後，則需要就閣下計劃買賣的合約數量，選擇閣下希望投資的金額。

HML為閣下提供「槓桿式交易」，這實際上意味著閣下可表面上借入款項以擴大閣下的交易。閣下可設定止蝕額度，將閣下的最高虧損限制為 閣下的投資價值的某個百分比。但是，如上文「重大風險(ii)」所述，閣下應理解到，受到外間因素影響，本公司可能無法遵守閣下的止蝕單，而閣下可能因此蒙受較大虧損。

如果閣下在選擇貨幣對，閣下需要決定將買入何種貨幣及賣出何種貨幣。

「買入」價為HML所提出向閣下買入一隻貨幣相對於貨幣對內另一貨幣的價格，「賣出」價為HML所提出向閣下出售一隻貨幣相對於貨幣對內另一貨幣的報價。買入及賣出之間差異即為「差價」。

交易一旦執行，該交易的詳情將通過郵寄或交易平台或電郵而以電子方式通知閣下。閣下可按照本公司的條款及條件協議書，將款項匯入或匯出閣下的賬戶。

12. 如何計算我們的合同價格？

本公司不能預計未來的匯率或指數，商品或其它資產價格，而在本公司網站上的報價亦非本公司對於將來該等匯率或價格的預測。決定以某個匯率或價格進行交易由始至終會是閣下本身的決定。

本公司就合約於合約買賣時將支付的價格（或是將收取的款項），在計算時將根據本公司對市場價格的最佳估計，以及利率的預期水平、引伸波幅及在合約有效期內的其他市場狀況而定，並基於複雜的數學運算而得出結果。

當對市場價格進行對沖、交易或投機時，本公司向閣下提供的合約價格（或付款金額）可能與買賣合約的一級或相關市場可供買賣的價格有所分別，這是由於在價格計算中計入對本公司有利的差價。視乎合約的價值，本公司會使用不同的差價。本公司有權對錯誤報價或因植字錯誤引致的錯誤數據作出更正。

本公司不會在客戶之間提供市場以供投資或投機。閣下參與的每宗交易均作為本公司與作為主事人的閣下之間達成的個別協議，不得向任何第三方轉移、流通或轉讓。

於紐約時間時間17：00前未平倉或終止的交易（或根據條款及條件由本公司指定並通知閣下的任何其他時間）即為隔夜持有（「隔夜」），並導致閣下就此支付或收取利息，稱為隔夜或差異利息。隔夜利息是指閣下每日為未平倉頭寸而賺取或將會支付的利息。

13. 條款及條件

本公司在註冊過程開始時向閣下提供本公司的HML條款及條件，閣下於訂立合約前必須細閱及簽署有關條款及條件。如閣下位於境外，則可能還須簽署或確認其他條款及條件。

閣下在使用本公司的服務時將受到HML不時修訂的條款及條件以及閣下須簽署或確認的任何其他條款（例如，若閣下位於瓦努阿圖境外）所約束。然而，如有歧義，則就歧義之處而言，下列法律文件所載條款的地位會按下列次序排列：

HML僅提供一般建議，即意味著除非另有說明，否則有關建議不會考慮到閣下的財務目標、財務狀況或需要，而 閣下須自行決定該產品是否適合閣下。

閣下應仔細閱讀本文件，以助閣下作出該決定。

HML於提供任何產品時均不設冷靜期。

閣下必須向本公司提供由本公司合理地要求閣下為遵守任何相關國家的法律而需要提供的一切資料。閣下尤其須於使用本公司的產品或服務前提供足夠的身份證明。

假如本公司在合理根據下相信支付款項可能違反任何相關國家的任何法律，則本公司可能延遲、阻擋或拒絕一項交易的訂立、調整或完成，而本公司不會因此而承擔任何責任。

若任何相關國家的任何法律要求，則本公司可能向有關當局披露閣下所提供的任何資料。

除非閣下已向本公司披露閣下是以信託人身份或代表其他人士行事，否則閣下保證從HML取得這項服務時是代表自身行事。

當閣下使用本公司的服務時，閣下承諾不會違反任何相關國家的任何法律。

本公司保留暫停運作本公司的網站及網上設施或其任何部分或分段的權利。在此情況下，本公司可全權酌情（發出或不發出通知）以本公司認為公平合理的價格，將閣下的未平倉頭寸進行平倉。

本公司可全權酌情對客戶賬戶的交易量施加限制。

14.終止或取消付款

閣下如希望取消或修改與HML已訂立的任何合約，須經本公司全權酌情決定。假如本公司應閣下要求而取消或修改閣下的合約，閣下可能須支付因此產生的任何匯率損失費用。

15.稅務影響

與HML交易的合約可能產生稅務影響。一般而言，如閣下因匯率或價格波動而獲利，則該部分收益將納入閣下的應評稅收入。相反，如閣下因匯率或價格波動而蒙受損失，則該部分損失將自閣下的應評稅收入扣除。然而，稅務法例較為複雜，會因應閣下的個人情況及貨幣交易目的而有所不同。因此，閣下在使用本公司的產品或服務前，應與閣下的稅務顧問討論閣下可能面對的任何稅務問題。

16.本公司有哪些不同角色？

HML為產品發行人。這意味著本公司發行本文件所述的產品，且並不代表其他任何人行事。

HML為服務供應商。本公司或本公司代表可為閣下提供一般建議，並協助閣下使用交易服務。

17.閣下如有投訴應如何提出？

閣下如有投訴，可聯絡HML或閣下的HML代表及就閣下的投訴作出說明。假如閣下身在海外，則除閣下於瓦努阿圖享有的權利外，HML可能會轉介閣下予海外糾紛解決機構。

最初保證金
最初保證金是指可供客戶交易的最低保證金規定，通常每份標準合約（包括貨幣合約、IMM合約及金銀合約）為1,000美元（例如，閣下須就名義金額為100,000澳元的澳元貨幣合約存入1,000美元）。HML規定於交易前須存入最初保證金。HML將於閣下交易前告知閣下最初保證金的規定金額，而HML可酌情更改最初保證金。

InterBank Classic平台
這是HML允許部分客戶使用的平台之一。在此平台開立新頭寸所需的最低合約大小為500,000個特定交易貨幣單位。

閣下賬戶中的權益或資金餘額。

名義合約金額或名義金額
這是指閣下合約的價值，由於閣下並不擁有全部金額的法律權益，故這僅屬名義性質。例如，若閣下的最初保證金為1,000美元（僅為合約大小的1%），則名義合約金額（或名義金額）為100,000美元。

現貨價格
貨幣，指數，商品或其他資產於即時「現貨」交易時的報價。

差價
外匯，指數，商品或其它資產（如股票）交易涉及有關買入價與賣出價之間差價的成本。「買入價」是本公司願意從客戶購買貨幣，指數，商品或其他資產的價格，而「賣出價」是本公司願意向客戶出售的價格，其中的價格差異稱為「差價」。差價造成的價格差異視乎若干因素而定，例如交易的大小及價值，以及當時的市場價格。雖然差價由閣下支付，但已計入報價中。因此，閣下毋須在有關報價之上支付額外收費或費用。

止損單
指在未平倉時，在產生一定的利潤或出現一定損失時，客人的平倉指令。

T+2
T+2是指「交易日後2個營業日」。

全收益指數
全收益指數是一種指數，它假設將所有股息分紅計入指數收益，以从不同角度考量指數走勢。。標準普爾500就是一個全收益指數的例子。
