UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES
- It is not permitted to use the services of the Company for an activity that is not authorized. In using the services of the Company, you agree and acknowledge that you will not use our products and services for any Unauthorized Activity.
Unauthorized Activity means any act, including but not limited to:
- Money Laundering: The concealment of the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by means of money transfers involving foreign banks or legitimate businesses. Evidence that would tend to show the potential of this would include depositing and withdrawing funds without trading, providing false contact information, and providing false documentation.
- Use of Unsuitable Documentation: Documentation is required to be provided by every client proving their identity and permanent residential address. Additionally, verification of a payment method, such as a credit card, may also be required. Unsuitable documentation may include fake, forged, or altered documentation, which extends to alterations made physically or with alterations made by a computer to a photograph or scan.
- Hedging in Bad Faith: Hedging is a strategy used in limiting or offsetting probability of loss from fluctuations in the prices of commodities, currencies, or securities. In effect, hedging in bad faith is the employment of various techniques but, basically taking equal and opposite positions in the same Financial Product or a Financial Product highly correlated at near the same time, indicating no interest in genuine trading. This can happen over a single account or over multiple accounts.
- Trading on Off-Market Quotes: It is not permitted to conduct an activity involving the Financial Products of any price other than the market price at that instant.
- Churning: Churning means excessive trading aiming to generate commissions. While there is no quantitative measure for churning, frequent buying and selling of securities that does little to meet the client’s investment objectives may be construed as evidence of churning.
- News Gap and Break Gap Trading Abuse: All products observe a break intraday, daily, or weekly. It is the norm that the last price before the break and the first price after the break to be significantly different. This difference, also known as a “gap”, means there is no market (no tradable prices) in that range. A gap can also be the outcome of news release. The Company is proud to offer a guaranteed stop loss, take profit and pending order execution to protect and enhance the trading of its clients.
- Multiple Account Operation: Clients may not trade using the accounts of others or allow others to trade using their account. Evidence of this activity includes:
- accounts operating from the same location
- using/indicating the same IP address
- multiple accounts displaying the same deposit and withdrawal patterns
- accounts showing similar or identical trading patterns
Where this activity is discovered, the Company reserves the right to close the affected accounts and all related open trading positions.
- The Company reserves the right to take the appropriate action in circumstances where this Client Agreement has been breached. The consequences of breaching one or more of the conditions, deemed as “Unauthorized Activities”, could mean the suspension or closure of trades, the return of funds, and/or the suspension or closure of your account.
PROHIBITION ON ARBITRAGE AND MANIPULATION
- BAAZEX does not permit the practice of arbitrage when trading and strictly forbids any form of manipulation of its prices, execution, and platform or making transactions based on errors, omissions or misquotes on the BAAZEX platform.
- Price latency, connectivity delays, and price feed errors sometimes create a situation where the prices displayed do not accurately reflect market rates. The concept of arbitrage and “scalping”, or taking advantage of these Internet delays, can exist in an OTC market.
- Any transactions that rely on price latency or price feed errors may be subject to intervention which includes the right to void any transactions which BAAZEX has determined to be a result of any of these practices, revocation of profits, widening of spreads, block of trading and any other necessary corrections or adjustments on the account without prior notice.
- If BAAZEX suspects or has reason to believe that Customer has abused the terms and conditions by hedging positions internally (using other trading accounts held with BAAZEX) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), BAAZEX reserves the right to cancel any trades or profits associated with Customer’s account(s).
- The Company has the right, at its absolute discretion, to deny any withdrawal on profits from any trade(s) that are closed within 180 seconds after the trade opening.
- The Company is entitled, by its own discretion, to cancel any trade that has been executed due or in connection with an error, including wrong rates, system malfunction etc. The Company’s record will serve as decisive evidence to the correct exchange rates in the world markets and the wrong rate quote given to the Client, and the Company is entitled to correct or cancel any trade based on the correct exchange rates.

- BAAZEX reserves the right to refuse to accept any order.
- BAAZEX may, at its sole discretion, allow Customer to specify a closing price for a transaction at the trading platform through a “Close at Loss” and “Close at Profit” order, subject always to the terms of this Client Agreement and any other terms and conditions the Company may implement from time to time.
- “Close at Loss” means an offer to close a transaction at a price determined in advance by Customer which, in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to buy a specific number of a certain instrument, is lower than the opening transaction price, and in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to sell a specific number of a certain instrument, is higher than the opening transaction price.
- “Close at Profit” means an offer to close a transaction at a price determined in advance by Customer which, in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to buy a specific number of a certain instrument, is higher than the opening transaction price, and in the case of a transaction that is opened by offering to sell a specific number of a certain instrument, is lower than the opening transaction price.
- Upon Customer’s offer and the Company’s acceptance of an order, Customer hereby authorizes BAAZEX to close the transaction at the Close at Loss price or Close at Profit price, as applicable, and as agreed upon in the order, without further instruction from or notification to Customer.
- BAAZEX may, in its sole discretion, close the transaction when the price quoted by BAAZEX on the trading platform equals the price accepted by BAAZEX for such an order.
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that BAAZEX shall not be obligated to close a transaction which does not otherwise comply with any other limitations agreed upon with respect to such transaction.
- Customer acknowledges and agrees that due to market volatility and factors beyond the Company’s control, the Company cannot guarantee that a Close at Loss order will be executed at the level specified in Customer’s order. In such an event, the Company will close the transaction at the next best price.
- Customer is aware that a part of the Company’s revenues derives from the spreads on each transaction. The spread is the difference between the bid & the ask price of the price quote on a transaction. Therefore, in case the fair market price reduces the Company’s spread in a specific transaction, the Company may, at its sole discretion, choose not to execute such transaction, in which case the Company may send Customer an amended quote for his consideration. BAAZEX may complete a transaction at its sole discretion in case the fair market price does not affect BAAZEX spread from the transaction and / or increases it.
MONITORING
- The electronic monitoring of transactions is an issue that is receiving a great deal of attention by the financial services industry. More and more transactions are being undertaken electronically, without any human intervention, providing those involved in money laundering with greater opportunities to launder money and to remain undetected.
- There is recognition by the industry and regulators that the electronic monitoring of transactions can provide some protection in dealing with this risk. A monitoring system can provide an effective way of identifying potential money laundering transactions.
- Transactions executed for the Client are compared and evaluated against the anticipated movement of the account, the standard turnover, business, and customer data/information held and according to the economic profile of the customer. Significant deviations are investigated, and the findings recorded in the file of the Client.
