3. The procedure for execution of orders
3.1 The Company receives a pricing thread from several of the world's leading liquidity providers. The presence of multiple liquidity providers is particularly important in conditions of higher market volatility. Even in the circumstances when a certain number of liquidity providers decided to expand the spread or stop quoting prices, the Company is still able to provide the Clients with access to liquidity with competitive prices.
3.2 Partial execution: it is the practice of order execution at a time when there is not enough liquidity in the market in order to execute the order in full at a specific price. Partial execution can be performed at different prices.
4. Types of order execution
4.1 Market orders: these are orders to buy or sell at the current market price that is available. The system automatically aggregates the volumes obtained from third parties, liquidity providers, and executes a market order on weighted average price (VWAP, Volume-Weighted Average Price), which is the average and best available price at the time of execution.
4.2 Pending orders:
- Stop order: it is an order to buy or sell when the market reaches a specified price. As soon as the market reaches a certain price, «Stop order» is triggered and executed as a market order. If the «Stop order» did not work, this means that the order will remain in the system under the conditions described under «GTC». «Stop orders» can be placed as close as possible to the current market price, without restrictions.
- Stop loss: it is an order used to minimize the losses. Once the market reaches a specified price, the order is triggered and treated as a market order. If the «Stop loss» did not work, this means that the order will remain in the system under the conditions described under «GTC». Stop loss can be placed as close as possible to the current market price, without any restrictions.
- GTC (Good Till Cancel): this is a pending order, which is valid until the Client cancels it.
- GTD (Good Till Day): this is a pending order, which is valid until the due date (order expiry date).
- Limit order: it is an order to buy or sell when the market reaches a specific price. Once the market reaches a specific price, the order is triggered and executed at a specified or better price.

Limit orders can be placed as close as possible to the current market price, without restrictions.
- Take Profit: it is an order that is used to protect profits. As soon as the market reaches the «Take Profit» price, the order is triggered and is regarded as a limit order. If «Take Profit» is not triggered, it will remain in the system until a later date. «Take Profit» can be placed as close as possible to the current market price without any restrictions.
- Modification / cancellation of orders: The Client may modify / cancel the pending order.
5. Execution
5.1 The Company takes all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for its Clients taking into account the factors when executing the Client orders in respect of quoted prices of the Company. Prices, costs and currency conversion have utmost importance in transactions for our Clients.
5.2 Prices
Bid Ask spread: For any given financial instrument of the Company there are two prices: higher price (Ask), on which the Client can buy (enter a long position) for the financial instrument, and a lower price (Bid) on which the Client can sell (open short position) for the financial instrument, collectively referred to as the prices of the Company. The difference between the higher and lower prices of this financial instrument is spread.
Pending orders: Such orders as Buy Limit, Buy Stop and Stop Loss / Take Profit for open short position are executed at the Ask price. Such orders as Sell Limit, Sell Stop and Stop Loss / Take Profit for open long position are executed at the Bid price.
The Company's price for this financial instrument is calculated with reference to the prices of the instrument, which are received from third parties, liquidity providers. The Company updates its prices as often as allowed by limitations of technologies and communication lines. The Company will not quote the prices outside the operating time of the Company (see below paragraph “Methods of Execution”), so no orders can be placed by the Client during that time.
Within the trading platform all trading operations are sent directly to liquidity providers via electronic execution system. This system automatically requests a quote from a selection of liquidity providers. In conjunction with the price the Company quotes the available liquidity (or "market depth") received from the liquidity providers. The Company's software will automatically combine all available liquidities at the best prices and fill in the level of the weighted average price (VWAP).
5.3 Costs: for opening a position for all types of financial instruments the Client is obliged to pay a commission or other fees, if applicable; These amounts are presented in the contract specifications and are available on the Company's website.
5.4 The Service charges a fee for each lot put into the market (1 lot - 100000 units of base currency). The fee is charged twice, when opening and closing positions. Detailed information is available on the Company’s Internet website: global-fx.com
5.5 Financial costs: the value of open positions in certain types of financial instruments increases or decreases by the value of the swap payments daily throughout the duration of the Agreement.

For all types of financial instruments, which are offered by the Company, the commission and the swaps are not included in the fee of the Company and are charged from the Client's account.
5.6 Currency conversion: company can provide currency conversion from base currency of the Client Account into the currency of the financial instrument. It will not be the actual conversion of currency of the Client Account and is used to review payments in the base currency.
5.7 Execution speed: as explained in the section Methods of Execution of this Agreement, the Company acts as the primary entity rather than as an agent on behalf of the Client, so the Company is the sole subject of the execution of Client orders in financial instruments provided by the Company. The company pays great attention to the efficiency of the execution of Client orders and strives to offer the high speed of execution limited only by the technology framework.
Using a wireless connection or a dial-up connection or any other form of client-side unstable connection can cause impairment or interruption of connection or no signal, causing delays in the transfer of data between the Client and the Company using the Company's electronic trading platform.
5.8 Likelihood of execution: as described in the section «Methods of Execution» of this Agreement, the Company acts as the primary entity rather than as an agent on behalf of the Client, so the Company is the sole subject of the execution of Client orders in financial instruments provided by the Company. However, the Company relies on third party liquidity providers involved in pricing and access to volumes and transmits orders to these contractors, so execution of the Client's orders will depend on prices and available liquidity of providers. Although the Company fulfills all orders placed by Clients, it reserves the right to reject any type of order.
5.9 Orders: market orders Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, Sell Stop, Stop Loss, Take Profit for the financial instrument are carried out in a manner as described in the section Procedure for Execution of Orders.
It should be noted that the price at which the transaction is closed may be significantly different from the originally declared price in volatile market conditions. This can happen, for example, in the following cases:
- During the opening of the market;
- During news publishing;
- During increased market volatility;
- When prices change significantly during one trading session to such an extent that according to the rules of the relevant exchange the trading is suspended or restricted;
- In case of lack of liquidity for the execution of orders on opening transactions for a specific volume at the declared price.
The Company strives to provide the best price for its clients, and takes every effort and applies necessary mechanisms for that.

6.1 The endpoint of execution of orders of the Client refers to persons with whom the orders are placed or to which the Company transmits orders for execution. For trade orders on financial instruments provided by the Company, the Company acts as principal and not as agent on behalf of the Client. Although the company may transfer the Client orders for execution of third persons, liquidity providers, under the Agreement the Company is the sole contractual partner for the execution of orders of the Client and any execution is carried out by the Company, so the Company is the only actor to perform the execution of Client orders.
