6. Orders types
6.1 Limit Order - A Limit Order is an instruction to trade at a level that becomes more favorable to the Client. A Limit Order can be used to open or close a position. Each Limit Order has a specified price limit set by the Client (but subject to the Company's agreement). A Limit Order will be triggered if the Company's bid price (in the case a sell order) or ask price (in the case of a buy order) moves in the Client's favor to a point where the Client's order can be executed. Once the limit level is triggered, the Company will seek to execute the order at that price. If the Company cannot do so (e.g. because in attempting to execute the order, the price becomes less favorable to the Client), the limit order will remain operational, waiting for the price to move again in the Client's favor, such that it is triggered again.
6.2 Stop Order– A Stop Order is generally placed to provide some risk protection, for example, in the event of the Client's position moving into loss. A Stop Order can also be used to either open or close a position. Each Stop Order has a specific stop level, set by you (but subject to the Company's agreement). The Stop Order will be triggered only if a transaction takes place on the Company's trading platform at that stop level. Once the Stop Order is triggered, the Company will seek to execute the order at a level that is the same as the stop level (although it may be at a less favorable level). The Company does not guarantee: (a) entry stops (b) stop orders based on hedged trades (two trades in opposite directions both with stop losses in either the same currency or similarly related/correlated currencies), that are an artificial way to create an entry stop (c) slippage trades or market cease of trading (d) instruments other than currencies and/or instruments that do not have 24 hour trading such as CFD's, indices, oil and some other currencies and instruments, during holidays, weekends, news announcements, special events and/or crises may trade through a gap in the market.
6.3 Other orders explanations – Such as OCO'S (One Cancels the other), ID's (If Done) Trailing Stops etc., and more information, can be found on the Company's website.
6.4 Rollovers or Swaps- a Trade is automatically renewed ('rolled over') at night, to the next business day, without the need for the Client's intervention. Such rollovers are accommodated with interest debits or credits to the Trader's Trading Account, based on the interest rate differentials applicable to each currency and taking into account the Company's own costs, depending on whether the position is long or short on the high interest rate currency, i.e. if you buy a currency pair where the base currency has a higher interest rate than the quote currency, then you'll receive interest, and vice versa.
6.5 Margin call - In the event that the client fails or is expected to fail to meet the amounts required to secure his open trades, the Company may demand that the client shall deposit such sums as required ('margin call'). In case the Client fails to meet such margin call, the Company may close out the Client's position(s) ('stop out'). The Client acknowledges and agrees that this may result in a Transaction being closed out at a less favorable time or rate than might otherwise be the case and the Company shall not have any liability to the Client as a result of it closing out any Transaction in such circumstances. In case that the Client has deposited funds within 30 days from 'stop out', than any special contractual terms with the Client shall be reserved.

6. Orders types
6.1 Limit Order - A Limit Order is an instruction to trade at a level that becomes more favorable to the Client. A Limit Order can be used to open or close a position. Each Limit Order has a specified price limit set by the Client (but subject to the Company's agreement). A Limit Order will be triggered if the Company's bid price (in the case a sell order) or ask price (in the case of a buy order) moves in the Client's favor to a point where the Client's order can be executed. Once the limit level is triggered, the Company will seek to execute the order at that price. If the Company cannot do so (e.g. because in attempting to execute the order, the price becomes less favorable to the Client), the limit order will remain operational, waiting for the price to move again in the Client's favor, such that it is triggered again.
6.2 Stop Order – A Stop Order is generally placed to provide some risk protection, for example, in the event of the Client's position moving into loss. A Stop Order can also be used to either open or close a position. Each Stop Order has a specific stop level, set by you (but subject to the Company's agreement). The Stop Order will be triggered only if a transaction takes place on the Company's trading platform at that stop level. Once the Stop Order is triggered, the Company will seek to execute the order at a level that is the same as the stop level (although it may be at a less favorable level). The Company does not guarantee: (a) entry stops (b) stop orders based on hedged trades (two trades in opposite directions both with stop losses in either the same currency or similarly related/correlated currencies), that are an artificial way to create an entry stop (c) slippage trades or market cease of trading (d) instruments other than currencies and/or instruments that do not have 24 hour trading such as CFD's, indices, oil and some other currencies and instruments, during holidays, weekends, news announcements, special events and/or crises may trade through a gap in the market.

6.4 Rollovers or Swaps- a Trade is automatically renewed ('rolled over') at night, to the next business day, without the need for the Client's intervention. Such rollovers are accommodated with interest debits or credits to the Trader's Trading Account, based on the interest rate differentials applicable to each currency and taking into account the Company's own costs, depending on whether the position is long or short on the high interest rate currency. i.e. if you buy a currency pair where the base currency has a higher interest rate than the quote currency, then you'll receive interest, and vice versa
6.5 Margin call - In the event that the client fails or is expected to fail to meet the amounts required to secure his open trades, the Company may demand that the client shall deposit such sums as required ('margin call'). In case the Client fails to meet such margin call, the Company may close out the Client's position(s) ('stop out'). The Client acknowledges and agrees that this may result in a Transaction being closed out at a less favorable time or rate than might otherwise be the case and the Company shall not have any liability to the Client as a result of it closing out any Transaction in such circumstances.
