3. TRADE EXECUTION POLICY

​

Where you provide us with specific instructions as to how to execute your trade or order, then this will remove the obligation from TRADING ROAD LIMITED to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible execution result by the consequences of following your instructions. When we open and close trades for you, we will take all reasonable steps to achieve the best possible result for you by opening and closing those trades according to our Order Execution Policy and subject to any specific instructions received from you. In all other circumstances, when we execute a trade or order for you, we will take into consideration a number of factors that allow us to offer the best possible result. These are described further below. For Retail clients, this will mainly be determined by the price or spread, followed by the size and nature of the trade or order, and the speed and likelihood of execution and settlement. The most common factors are highlighted below.

​

3.1 Price - If your trade via the trading platform is accepted TRL then your trade will be executed at the price requested by you and at no other price. If your trade is made over the telephone then, assuming there is no 'price error', your trade will be executed at this price. If you trade via our platform on "Instant Execution" mode then the entire order is placed into the 'underlying market' and is filled at the best available price at that time.

​

3.2 Transaction Speed - In almost all circumstances, so long as you have sufficient margin available on your account for the trade and so long as the trade size requested is equal to or under the maximum internet size permissible, your trade will be executed at the level requested. In certain circumstances due to speed of internet communications, market volatility or in the case of deliberate manipulation of our quoted prices your trade may be rejected by us if the price at which you have attempted to trade is not representative of the 'underlying market' price when received by TRADING ROAD LIMITED.

​

3.3 Trade Size - All trade execution is subject to size considerations. If the requested trade size is larger than TRADING ROAD LIMITED is able to trade in the 'underlying market' instrument on the relevant exchange at that time then the entire trade or order may be rejected, but TRADING ROAD LIMITED may offer greater liquidity than the 'underlying market' at its discretion. TRADING ROAD LIMITED will not make a 'partial fill' of any trade except by agreement in the case of a telephone trade. Every market quoted by TRADING ROAD LIMITED has an absolute minimum and maximum permitted and this can be found by clicking on the information icon button associated with each market, which can be found on the TRADING ROAD LIMITED Trading Platform However, this maximum trade size may vary due to market conditions and is, at all times, at the discretion of TRL.

​

3.4 General - In most cases an order, when triggered by market price action, will be filled at the same, or very close to the same, price as requested on your order request. If the market opens at the start of the trading day at a price sharply different to the closing price of the previous trading session any order whose activation price is between the closing TRADING ROAD LIMITED quote of the previous day's trading close and the opening quote of the next day's trading session will be filled at the first price reasonably obtainable by TRL with reference to the 'underlying market'.

​

3.5 Gapping and slippage - All orders (Stop Loss, Limit or New Order) are subject to slippage on the open market. In a situation where slippage occurs during trading hours, any buy order (new or limit) below the market or sell order (new or limit), above the market and sell orders (closing or stop), below the market or buy orders (closing or stop), or above the market, may be subject to slippage. If any market gaps from one quoted price to another due to any market sensitive piece of information (such as a profit warning or an economic data release), then any order in place between these prices will be activated TRADING ROAD LIMITED offers execution via a Dealing desk where it provides prices and execution and the client will be trading into TRADING ROAD LIMITED 's liquidity. Please note there may be times where there is a limitation to liquidity, which can have an impact on your execution. TRADING ROAD LIMITED treats all customers fairly and in the event of gapping passes the best price that is provided by one of TRADING ROAD LIMITED 's liquidity providers or data feed providers will be passed on to the client. If at any time TRADING ROAD LIMITED receives a price improvement on either of these order types then this price improvement will be passed onto the client. Due to limitation of accessing market depth on MT4 platform, and the inevitable latency issue and the size of the order, and nature of trading style, TRADING ROAD LIMITED does not guarantee the execution and slippage will be better than any other model or other forms of execution available and TRL will pass the fair market price to the client, in both Limit and Stop orders.

​

3.6 Market Hours - Aside from those markets defined as being quoted 'out of hours' no order will be filled outside of TRADING ROAD LIMITED' specified quoting hours. Please note that markets continue to trade outside of the quoting hours offered by TRL, and in these cases there is significant potential of some gapping from one TRADING ROAD LIMITED trading session to the next TRADING ROAD LIMITED trading session. All orders in these markets will be subject to this gap in prices. Orders activated in 'out of hours markets' quoted TRADING ROAD LIMITED are treated as though the underlying instrument were open and trading at that level required to activate the order.

 

4. WORKING ORDERS

​

4.1 Both Limit and Stop orders may be cancelled by the client at any time but once an order has been activated it is unlikely that you will be able to cancel the whole transaction and you are obligated to accept any part of a worked order that is filled prior to cancelation.

​
