If you are on a margin call (means the Net Liquidation Value (NLV) has dipped below the maintenance margin), you are on a square off mode. You have 24 hours to remit funds and bring the margin back to the initial margin level. If the market moves in your favour and NLV moves above the maintenance margin, you are out of the square off mode. However, your entire or part position may be squared off if your NLV further dips to 30% of Initial Margin within 24 hours. In that case 24 hours remittance time is not applicable.

Transactions in leveraged commodities and CFDs carry a certain degree of risk. Due to them being highly leveraged, a relatively small market movement will have a proportionally larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit. This may work well for you as well as against you. In addition, certain reducing orders or strategies such as the placing of stop loss orders or stop limit orders may not be effective because market conditions may make it difficult to execute such orders. For e.g. high volatility or low liquidity

As in all trading activities, buying low and selling high earns you profits. Short selling is also an alternative when you have a bearish view of the market. The basic formula (excluding commission) for calculating profits and loss is as follows:

Profit / Loss = (Selling Price- Buying price) X contract size

Buying a contract is called taking a long position. Selling a contract is referred to as taking a short position. A long position profits when the price of the position goes up, and a short position profits when the price goes down.

CFDs are highly flexible risk management tools because of their liquidity, small bid-ask spreads, low transaction costs, ease of adjusting position and ability to move funds quickly into and out of an investment. They also serve as short-term substitutes for positions in the underlying stock markets.With Stock Index CFDs, you can eliminate, acquire or adjust exposure to overall stock market fluctuations in a cost-effective manner.

FASTONE MARKETS LIMITED does not facilitate trading in Stock Index Futures. CFDs are settled in cash because it is impractical to physically deliver the underlying index at expiration.

Futures Contracts: FASTONE MARKETS LIMITED does not facilitate/offer trading in futures contracts. An exchange traded forward contracts are futures contract and they are highly standardized. Time, place, quality, quantity, expiration, settlement and delivery of contracts are predefined and standardized.

Forward Contract: is a non-standardized or customized or flexible derivative contract between two parties to buy or to sell an asset at a future time at a price agreed upon today. Non-standardization makes a forward contract flexible and customizable between the two parties. This customization is usually possible in case of bilateral trades between two parties but when the same contract is offered to a large number of potential traders, some amount of standardization is required.

All orders can be placed online through E-trading platforms, over secured chat and through phone.

Derivatives: Derivatives are financial contracts that derive its value from the underlying assets called forward, futures, options, swaps, caps, floors, CDS (Credit Default Swaps).

Currency /FX/ Forex/Foreign Exchange: The present mechanism of currency has gone through thousands of years trading, valuation of goods & services and payment evolution process. It started with barter system where goods and services were exchanged for each other. The inherent problems of the barter system required development of a common medium of exchange that can determine value of goods and services. This led to innovation of money, gold and silver coins were used and further innovation led to present system of paper currency. When money was branded by respective central banks it is called currency. In cross border trade (foreign trade) there was need to value one currency with other. This relative valuation of two currencies is called foreign exchange or forex (FX). Foreign exchange rate is represented through the two currencies in reference e.g. GBP/USD, EUR/USD.

FASTONE MARKETS LIMITED does not offer futures trading, however we facilitate trading in CFDs. A CFD (Contract for Difference) contract, is a forward contract, a legally binding contract that obligates the two parties involved to trade, a particular amount/quantity (known as lot size) of the underlying asset at a predetermined price (contracted/traded price) to be valued on a predetermined future date referred as expiration date. Expiration date and settlement date may differ. Settlement date follows the expiration date usually by fixed number of business day(s). Lot size, Expiration and Settlement date may differ from system to system (market to market). CFD contracts are usually cash settled that does not result in delivery of the long/short underlying asset. If a seller does not prematurely close out the position, he or she may assume the risk that the value of the underlying asset will be cheaper some time before the expiration date. CFDs are OTC in nature.

The most popular physical commodities contracts can be broken down into several broad categories: Metals (Precious: Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium; and Industrial Copper, Aluminum, Zinc, Tin and Lead), Energy (Brent Crude oil, West Texas Crude oil and Natural Gas),Agro (Grains: Wheat, Corn, Rice; Oil & Oil Seeds: Soy, Crude Palm, Cotton, Sunflower, Mustard/Rape Seed; Plantation: Rubber,Live Stock, Orange Juice etc.). Commodities are not paper assets, and in general, are produced and consumed at a price based on the forces of supply and demand.

You earn interest if you are short Gold (long USD) while you incur interest If you are long Gold (short USD). The scenarios above depend on the current Spot Gold interest rates.

Interest is calculated based on the prevailing interest rate of Spot Gold/ Silver in the market and the daily settlement price of your Spot Gold/Silver overnight position.

We offer Spot Gold and Spot Silver including forward CFDs. For details please click here.

FASTONE MARKETS LIMITED products are cash settled, we do not facilitate delivery.

FASTONE MARKETS LIMITEDLtd offers commodity products in three main categories:

• > Energy Futures contracts: Brent Crude Oil and Natural Gas.
• > Metal Futures contracts: Gold, Silver and Copper.
• > Agricultural Futures contracts: Corn, Cocoa, Coffee, Cotton, Soybeans, Soybean Oil, Soybean Meal, Sugar, orange juice and Wheat.

Commodity trading involves undertaking an agreement to buy or sell a specified amount of a commodity at a fixed price and date. By doing this, sellers can lock in a price for their products while buyers can avoid the risks of price fluctuations of the products.

In all futures markets, trading decisions are made in two ways - fundamental or technical, although many traders use a combination of both.

• Fundamental analysis: Includes all factors that influence supply and demand. For the physical commodities markets, fundamental factors include weather and geopolitical events in producing countries and outside forces that influence price action.
• Technical analysis: Technical analysis is based strictly on inside market forces. It involves tracking various price patterns that occurred in the markets in the past. Analysts focus on a variety of time frames, and trading decisions are based on past tendencies with the idea these price patterns tend to repeat themselves.

We do not offer commodity futures trading but we do offer commodity CFDs. A commodity CFD contract represents an agreement to buy or sell a specific type and grade of commodity at a specific time in the future at a specified price. In reality, commodity CFDs never lead to the delivery of an actual product, because the contract positions are typically closed out before the delivery date and settlement happens in Cash.

Most spot Currency trades are valued 2 business days later with the exception of USD/CAD, which is valued 1 business day later. This means that if you bought GBP 100 000 against the USD at 2.0300, you will have to deliver USD 203000 2 business days later.

In leveraged trading, there is no such delivery on the value dates. All outstanding positions that have crossed the current trade date would be rolled over to the next spot value date. This would be done every day until the positions are closed.

A Currency margin account with FASTONE MARKETS LIMITED allows you to trade spot and CFD/Currency on a margin basis. By nature of leveraging, you may trade both spot and CFD/Currency with contract values much larger than your capital outlay. The margin required in Currency is to cover the price risk of the portfolio for a specified period.

Margin deposit allows participation in trading by having a deposit that is only a small portion of the value of the contract in their account.

Currency and CFDs markets are extremely dynamic and the price quotes of various instruments keep changing rapidly. It is therefore imperative to measure the value of open trades consistently. Mark to market is measure of the fair value of open trades (outstanding positions in the market) that can change over time. Mark to market aims to provide current value of such trades. The process of mark to market is the risk the management exercise and thus measures the risk associated with the trades and outstanding positions.

Also relevant in FASTONE MARKETS LIMITED trading system is Initial Margin and Maintenance Margin. To initiate a position, client needs to deposit money equivalent to Initial Margin requirement and to maintain the position he should not allow the Net Liquidation Value to fall below the maintenance margin. Once the margin dips below the maintenance margin, he should bring the margin back to the initial margin level.

You can either:

• Liquidate or reduce your position( s ),
• or Bring in additional funds to increase your equity above or equal to the initial margin level.

We accept funds in following currency, USD, EUR, GBP. If you wish to top-up/deposit your account with currencies other than USD, prevailing conversion rates would be applicable.

Currency conversion will be at the prevailing rate of exchange as quoted by the banks.

Currency trading refers to the exchange of one currency against another with the aim of profiting from the fluctuations in the exchange rate. Currency trading is primarily carried out by buying or selling to initiate a trade.

Profit is made by buying low and selling high. If you are bearish, short selling is possible in the Currency market. The formula is as follows (excluding commission and daily swap adjustments):
Profit (Loss) = (Selling Price- Buying Price) x Contract Size.
Example 1
Bought 3 contracts of USD/JPY at 116.00
(I.e. bought USD300, 000 against JPY at the price of JPY116.00 per USD)
Sold 3 contracts of USD/JPY at 117.00
(I.e. sold USD300, 000 against JPY at the price of JPY117.00 per USD)
Profit (Loss) = (Selling Price- Buying Price) x Contract Size
= (117.00-116.00) x 300000
= JPY 300000
Therefore a profit of JPY300 000 is made.
Example 2
Sold 5 contracts of GBP/USD at 2.0300
(I.e. sold GBP 500000 against USD at the price of USD2.0300 per GBP)
Bought 5 contracts of GBP/USD at 2.0250
(I.e. bought GBP 500000 against USD at the price of USD2.0250 per GBP)
Profit (Loss) = (Selling Price- Buying Price) x Contract Size
= (2.0300-2.0250) x 500000
= USD2, 500

In Forex trading, this refers to the interest differential between 2 currencies.

Different currencies carry different interest yields. When you are holding a position, you have bought (long) one currency and sold (short) another currency simultaneously. If you carry your position overnight, you will be receiving interest on the currency you bought (long) and paying interest on the currency you sold (short). The daily swap point adjustment reflects the interest differential of the two currencies you hold.
Example
You bought (long) NZD 100,000 and sold (short) JPY 100000 at an exchange rate of 89.00.
Assuming that the NZD interest rate is 8% and the JPY interest rate is 0.5%, you would be receiving 8% for your NZD and paying 0.5% for your JPY. This results in a net interest (swap point) gain if you carry your position into the next day.
Based on the assumption on interest rate differential above, the net interest swap gain calculation is as shown below
Spot rate x ( NZD interest rate receivable - JPY interest rate payable ) / 360
Contracted exchange rate= 89.00
NZD interest rate receivable= 8%
JPY interest rate payable= 0.5%
The net interest swap point gain is: 89.00 x (8% - 0.5%) / 360 = .018542
Net interest receivable (payable) is calculated by: Swap point x Contract size.
Thus, you would receive: .018542 x 100000 = JPY 1854.2 for carrying the long NZD/JPY positioning into the next day.
This is also known as positive carry.
