Rules of Trading Operations

Last Updated:

1. General Provisions

These Rules of Trading Operations govern the process of conducting trades on the Quotex platform. This document is a supplement to the main Client Agreement. By executing a trade, the Client confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to these rules.

2. Quotes and Price Feeds

The Company receives price feeds from multiple reputable liquidity providers. The prices displayed on the trading platform are formed based on these feeds and represent the price at which the Company is willing to execute trades. The Client acknowledges that these prices may differ slightly from real-time prices on other exchanges due to latency and aggregation.

3. Order Execution

3.1. Opening a Trade

A trade is opened at the price displayed on the platform at the moment the Client clicks the "Buy" or "Sell" button. The Company aims to execute all orders at the requested price. However, during periods of high market volatility, the execution price may differ from the requested price (slippage). By placing an order, the Client accepts the risk of slippage.

3.2. Expiration of a Trade

A trade is automatically closed at the exact moment of its expiration. The outcome of the trade (profit or loss) is determined by comparing the asset's price at expiration with the opening price.

4. Available Assets and Trading Hours

The list of available trading assets and their respective trading hours are displayed on the platform. The Company reserves the right to add, remove, or suspend trading on any asset at its discretion, especially during periods of low liquidity or high volatility. It is the Client's responsibility to be aware of the trading hours for the assets they wish to trade.

5. Payouts

The potential payout percentage for a successful trade is displayed on the platform and is determined by the Company. This percentage can change based on market conditions, asset volatility, and other factors. The displayed payout percentage at the moment of opening a trade is fixed for that specific trade.

6. Prohibited Trading Practices

To ensure a fair trading environment for all clients, the following practices are strictly prohibited:

  • Arbitrage Strategies: Exploiting price latency or any other delays in the price feed.
  • Use of Unauthorized Software: Using any external trading robots, scripts, or software that manipulates the platform or automates trading without the Company's prior written consent.
  • Account Manipulation: Opening multiple accounts to abuse bonus promotions or to hedge positions across different accounts.
  • Exploiting Platform Vulnerabilities: Any attempt to exploit technical glitches or loopholes in the platform for profit.

Violation of these rules will result in the immediate investigation of the account, cancellation of all related trades, and may lead to the permanent blocking of the Client's account and forfeiture of funds. We strongly advise traders to fully understand all associated risks as detailed in our Risk Disclosure statement.

7. Market Disruptions and Force Majeure

In the event of abnormal market conditions, technical failures of liquidity providers, or other force majeure events, the Company may take one or more of the following actions: (a) increase spreads, (b) decrease maximum trade sizes, (c) suspend trading for certain assets, or (d) cancel trades affected by a clear pricing error. The Company will act reasonably to ensure market integrity and protect the interests of its clients.

8. Client Responsibility

The Client is solely responsible for all trading operations conducted in their account. This includes ensuring the security of their login credentials and being aware of the rules governing both trading and non-trading operations. The Company is not responsible for any losses incurred due to unauthorized access to a Client's account.
