IMPORTANT NOTICES
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
ALL ROAD GROUP PROVIDES AN EXCUTION SERVICE, INVESTMENT SERVICES AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND FX ARE COMPLEX INSTRUMENTS. THEY COME WITH A HIGH RISK OF LOSING MONEY RAPIDLY DUE TO LEVERAGE. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND FX WORK, AND WHETHER YOU CAN AFFORD TO INCUR LOSSES AND HAVE THE APPROPRIATE RISK APPETITE. A USEFUL EXPLANATION OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR TRANSACTIONS IS SET OUT IN THE RISK WARNING DISCLOSURE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU SHOULD ENSURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND SUCH RISKS BEFORE OPENING OR CLOSING A POSITION WITH US.
IMPORTANT SUMMARY
These terms and conditions (the Terms) set out the terms of the contract between you and us for the provision of our Services. In particular, the Terms govern each Position you open or close out with us.
A current and definitive copy of these Terms (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time) will be available to you on our Website.
Trading in our Products is not appropriate for everyone. We consider that our Products should only be traded by a person who: (i) has the ability to bear a 100% loss of all funds invested, and (ii) has a high-risk tolerance.
Risks
The value of the underlying financial instruments, to which you gain an exposure via a CFD or another Product, may fluctuate. You should make sure you understand the risks involved in trading our Products and that you take appropriate independent advice where necessary.
Our products are in principle leveraged at 1:1 and are of a direct investment nature. Although they therefore have a lower risk of loss than leveraged products, they do carry risk and are intended for businesses that can tolerate this risk. Our Products may not be suitable for every client. A further detailed explanation of the risks associated with trading our Products is set out in our Risk Warning Disclosure and the Guidance Newletter.
You have no interest in the underlying financial instrument
The trading of our Products does not give you a right to the underlying financial instrument, because a CFD represents a notional value. For example, where the Product is a share CFD you do not have an interest in the underlying share, nor does the CFD grant you a right of ownership in the underlying share.
The trading you conduct with us is not conducted on an exchange or a Market. We act as counterparty to a Position, and as such your Positions are notional and may not be transferred.
You are responsible for your decisions
ALL ROAD GROUP provides an execution service, investment services and management services.
You must rely on your own judgement or discretion (or that of an independent third party advisor or consultant) in deciding whether or not to open or close out a Position.
You must act only for yourself (as principal) and not on behalf of others
We will deal with you on the basis that you act as principal and not as agent for an undisclosed person.
This means that we will treat you as our client and the money in your account as your money, for all purposes, and you will be directly and personally responsible for performing your obligations under each Position you open or close out.
If you act in connection with or on behalf of someone else, whether or not you identify that person to us, we will not accept that person as an indirect customer of ours and we will not accept or owe an obligation to them.
Furthermore, if another person operates your account on your behalf we may terminate these Terms or close any open Positions, without prior notice.
Complaints
We take complaints very seriously and have in place internal procedures to ensure that a complaint is dealt with promptly and fairly.
If you would like to make a complaint, please contact us in writing via the communication methods set out below to raise your complaint.
We will aim to investigate and resolve your complaint to the best of our ability within forty days.

Underlying Market is next open for business (in accordance with the rules of that Market or Underlying Market).

SECTION 4
EQUITY, MARGIN AND LEVERAGE
4.1 Equity, Margin and Free Margin
4.1.1 Equity means the sum of money in your Account at a point in time, after deposits and withdrawals, realised profits and losses, and floating profit and loss on your open Positions (the Equity).
4.1.2 Margin means the portion of your Equity that is utilised to open one or more Positions (the Margin). For the avoidance of doubt, Margin is not deducted from the calculation of your Equity.
4.1.3 Margin can neither be used to open another Position nor be withdrawn from your Account.
4.1.4 The portion of your Equity that is not Margin is free margin (the Free Margin). Free Margin may be used to open another Position or can be withdrawn from your Account.
4.2 Margin Calls and Auto Stop-Out
4.2.1 If the Equity falls below an amount that equals to one hundred percent of your Margin, your Account will enter into a margin call (the Margin Call).
4.2.2 If your Equity falls to or below an amount that equals to sixty percent (or such other percentage as prescribed by us from time to time) of your Margin, an auto-stop-out will occur, whereby some or all of your open Positions will automatically be closed out by the automated risk management system, in order to bring your Equity above the required amount (the Auto Stop-Out). We do not discretionarily manage your portfolio. The automated risk management system may automatically first close out the open Positions that carry the greatest loss. The automated risk management system may then close out such number of additional open Positions successively until the Equity in your Account is above the required amount. You should be prepared for the automated risk management system to close out all your open Positions.
4.2.3 In the event of a Margin Call, you may, in order to bring your Equity above your Margin:
(a) close one or more of your open Positions;
(b) deposit funds in your Account; or
(c) a combination of both.
4.2.4 You agree and acknowledge that whilst we may inform you from time to time of a Margin Call, we have no obligation to do so. It is your responsibility to monitor your Account and ensure that you maintain sufficient Equity to meet your Margin requirements at all times.
4.3 Leverage
With regard to leveraged transactions, this depends on the individual B2B contract with ALL ROAD GROUP.
4.3.1 Leverage is a mechanism through which you are able to open a Position for a value that is higher than the amount of Margin.
4.3.2 Leverage is expressed as a ratio such as 1:1.
4.3.3 The amount of Margin is calculated with reference to a percentage of the notional value of an open Position. We determine the percentage of the notional value that is required as Margin by an underlying instrument, and we may change the percentage from time to time at our discretion.
4.3.4 We reserve the right to change the leverage of a Product or Account, from time to time, at our discretion. We will endeavour to provide you with reasonable notice of such change, where practicable. It is your responsibility to monitor for changes to the leverage, which may occur due to:
(a) a change in prevailing Market conditions;
(b) an actual or potential event of default or termination event;
(c) a risk assessment; or
(d) increased market volatility.

1. General Information
ALL ROAD GROUP has established this policy along with other arrangements to meet our overarching obligation to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for our Clients.
ALL ROAD GROUP has an obligation to provide its Clients with appropriate information on this Policy. In order to comply with this obligation, the firm will make this Policy available to Clients upon written request.
ALL ROAD GROUP’s Execution Policy forms part of our Client Agreement and as such, by agreeing to the Client Agreement, you are agreeing to the terms of our Order Execution Policy. This policy applies equally to orders and trades for both Retail and Professional Customers.
When ALL ROAD GROUP makes a decision to deal, we will carry out the trade by executing the order directly in the market ourselves.
The price feed streamed to Clients consists of liquidity from various bank and non-bank providers or ALL ROAD GROUP’s OXO ECN model (as described below) to ensure the Client has the best execution possible. We do not aggregate or allocate
client orders when Straight Line Processing our trading flow to ALL ROAD GROUP’s liquidity providers.
2. ALL ROAD GROUP’s Best Execution Obligations
ALL ROAD GROUP provides leveraged (margin) trading, on an execution service, investment services and management services basis for its Client’s in Forex, CFDs and Financial products trading.
It is ALL ROAD GROUP’s decision as to what markets to offer its clients and we will deal with you as principal and counterparty to each trade, providing you with two-way price quotes.
As such, every market offered by ALL ROAD GROUP is quoted as a derivative of the underlying market and we are the only execution venue to which you have access through us.
Under the OXO (Orders-Crossing-Orders) ECN model, certain ALL ROAD GROUP Qualified Participants are able to provide liquidity in competition within the interbank pricing pool.
Such Qualified Participants hold collateral directly with ALL ROAD GROUP (and not vice versa) to ensure that funds are protected under strict client funds procedures.
To qualify, Qualified Participants must be financial institutions that have met the necessary capital requirements and have the sophisticated technological means to provide the required streaming pricing.
ALL ROAD GROUP acknowledges that if you are a Retail Client that you may rely upon us to provide or display bid and offer prices which are the best available prices for retail investors on a consistent basis.
ALL ROAD GROUP will act in accordance with the best interests of our Clients when placing orders with other entities for execution. In complying with this duty ALL ROAD GROUP must take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for its Clients taking into account the execution factors.
The execution factors are: price, costs, speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, nature, and any other consideration relevant to the order.
The relative importance of these factors must be determined by reference to the “execution criteria” and, for Retail clients, the requirement to determine the best possible result in terms of the total consideration (see below).
The execution criteria are as follows:
(i) the characteristics of the Client including their categorisation as Retail or Professional Client;
(ii) the characteristics of the Client order;
(iii) the characteristics of the financial instrument that are the subject of that order;
(iv) the characteristics of the execution venues to which that order can be directed.
When ALL ROAD GROUP executes an order on behalf of a Retail Client, the best possible result must be determined in terms of the total consideration, representing the price of the financial instrument and the costs related to execution, which must include all expenses incurred by the Client which are directly related to the execution of the order. These will include the execution venue fees, clearing and settlement fees and any other fees paid to third parties involved in the execution of the order.
While ALL ROAD GROUP will seek to ensure that the prices we display are competitive we are not able to give a warranty, express or implied, that the bid and offer prices displayed on our trading systems always represent the best prevailing market prices for retail investors. Our quoted prices may reflect market volatility or additional costs and charges which may result in an increase in the spread as well as per transaction.
a) Price: ALL ROAD GROUP takes the underlying market price of the derivative it is quoting and then applies an algorithm to this price to achieve its own market price.
The underlying feed that ALL ROAD GROUP uses may be from one source in the case of FX from several feeds.
Where several feeds are used the best bid and offer combinations are used to maintain tight spreads at all times.
b) Costs: Our market price will often be different to the underlying as it may also include commissions or financing.
c) Liquidity: The price made by ALL ROAD GROUP, similar to the underlying market, is usually good in up to a certain size. In order to maintain additional liquidity, a different spread may be applied to the price provided in the underlying market.
d) Speed of execution: In order to facilitate the speed of execution ALL ROAD GROUP has imposed a maximum deal size on every market. This limit is regularly monitored and takes into consideration many factors including liquidity and volatility to determine an amount that we are confident to accept without referral to speed up execution.
Other Factors: While the above four factors are considered by ALL ROAD GROUP to be the most important in our best execution policy, there are many other situations which can arise leading to price variations.
a) Some markets which are quoted by ALL ROAD GROUP are done so outside of normal market hours, and as such are known as ‘grey markets’. In these situations, while every effort is made to keep prices and spreads consistent, this may not always be possible during particular volatile periods or during periods of illiquidity in corresponding markets.
b) Financing charges made by ALL ROAD GROUP are fair, competitive and transparent. These may include fees required to roll over open positions, and shall be disclosed to you on our website and the trading platform.
c) There may be situations, through third party introductions or through partnership deals with affiliated companies that a commission or other income generated from your trade is shared with third parties. In such circumstances this will be made abundantly clear to the client by the party concerned and this information is available on request.

It is important to identify and effectively manage conflicts of interest, which arise or may arise in the course of providing a service and carrying out activities, as their existence may lead to material risk of damage to a client’s interests.
This document sets out ALL ROAD GROUP’s policy for the management of such conflicts of interest.
ALL ROAD GROUP has taken this opportunity to examine its policies and procedures to ensure they remain fit for purpose and address, where potentially relevant, the issues in a way which is proportionate to the scale and complexity of its business. Both the policy and the register of conflicts of interest will be reviewed on at least an annual basis.
This document does not intend to create third party rights or duties or form part of any contractual agreement between the firm and any client.
This policy may be amended and updated at any time if any material change occurs and will be reviewed on at least an annual basis.
If at any time you are in doubt as to how to act in a given situation where you are faced with an actual or potential conflict of interest, you should contact the Compliance Officer.
Whilst conflicts of interest are important to be adhered to by all of ALL ROAD GROUP’s staff, they are non-exhaustive, and certain other additional rules may apply to readers who are members of professional associations by virtue of their job role.
Failure to follow any of the rules whether by express breach, or failure to follow any of the spirit of identifying, mitigating and managing conflicts of interest may also be a breach of an employment contract. Disciplinary action may be taken by ALL ROAD GROUP as a result.
Conflicts of Interest
These services that ALL ROAD GROUP provides to its clients could potentially give rise to conflicts of interest entailing a material risk of damage to the interests of one or more clients. This document aims to set out these potential conflicts and the procedures that are in place to be followed and measures to be adopted in order to manage such conflicts.
Conflicts of interest may occur between a customer and ALL ROAD GROUP, including its managers, employees or any persons directly or indirectly linked to the firm, or between two or more clients.
Treating customers fairly is central to the core values of ALL ROAD GROUP. There is an embedded culture that understands what is considered acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. As such, conflicts of interest and the identification / management / mitigation thereof are central to this philosophy and culture.
Definition
An actual or potential conflict may arise when, in the exercise of its activities and services, the interests of:
• ALL ROAD GROUP (including its managers, employees and appointed representatives or any person directly or indirectly linked to them by the control); or
• its associates;and the interest of its clients, are directly or indirectly in competition, and which could significantly prejudice the client’s interests.
Identifying situations where a conflict may arise
The circumstances giving rise to conflicts of interest include all cases where there is a conflict between the:
• Interests of ALL ROAD GROUP, an individual member of staff, certain persons directly or indirectly connected to ALL ROAD GROUP; and the duty that ALL ROAD GROUP owes to a client; or
• Differing interests of two or more clients, as ALL ROAD GROUP owes a separate duty to each of them.
Conflicts of interests could prejudice a client in various ways, whether or not ALL ROAD GROUP suffers any financial loss and independently of whether the actions or the motivations of the employees involved are intentional.
For the purposes of identifying the types of conflicts of interest that arise, or may arise, ALL ROAD GROUP must take into account, as a minimum whether the firm, a relevant person (e.g. a partner, employee or an appointed representative or a director, partner or employee of an appointed representative or a person who is directly involved in the provision of services to the firm or its appointed representative under an outsourcing agreement) or a person directly or indirectly linked by control to the firm:
• Is likely to make a financial gain, or avoid a financial loss, at the expense of the client;
• Has an interest in the outcome of the service to, or a transaction carried out for, a client which differs from the client’s interest;
• Has a financial or other incentive to favour one client (or group of clients) over the interests of another;
• Carries on the same or similar business as the client; and/or
• Receives an inducement from a third party in the execution of the service provided to the client, other than the standard commission/fee for that service.
Generic Conflicts
ALL ROAD GROUP has identified the following circumstances in which general types of potential conflicts of interest may arise:
• The firm or an associate undertakes designated investment business for other clients including its associates (and the clients of its associates);
• A partner or employee of the firm, or of an associate, is a director or partner of, holds or deals in securities of, or is otherwise interested in any company whose securities are held or dealt in on behalf of a client;
• A partner or employee of the firm, or of an associate, is involved in the management of any company whose securities are held or dealt in on behalf of a client;
• A transaction is effected in units or shares of a fund or company of which the firm or an associate is the manager, operator or adviser;
• A transaction is effected in securities in respect of which the firm or an associate, or a partner, director or employee of the firm or an associate, is contemporaneously trading or has traded on its/their own account or has either a long or short position;
• The firm may, when acting as agent for a client, match an order of the client with an order of another client for whom it is acting as agent.
Prevention and management
ALL ROAD GROUP has identified specific potential conflicts of interests, which may arise in relation to its activities.
The general nature and/or source of these conflicts will be disclosed to clients before undertaking business in sufficient detail to enable the client to make an informed decision about the service in the context in which the conflict has arisen. For each potential situation, ALL ROAD GROUP has analysed whether or not the risk is actual or potential for one or more of its clients.
It is not always possible to prevent actual conflicts of interest from arising.
In that case ALL ROAD GROUP will try to manage the conflicts of interests by segregating duties where possible or by establishing Chinese Walls. In certain circumstances, ALL ROAD GROUP may have to decline to take on a new client.
If ALL ROAD GROUP considers developing new products or services or making other changes to its business model or operations, Senior Management will consider whether any additional potential conflicts of interest arise.
Senior management will update the “Conflicts of Interest Policy” and “Register of Potential Conflicts of Interest” as necessary on an ongoing basis and formally consider the continued adequacy of the arrangements on an annual basis.
Inducements including gifts and hospitality
ALL ROAD GROUP maintains business relationships with third parties who may remunerate ALL ROAD GROUP in the form of management and performance fees, which can constitute monetary or non-monetary benefits thereby impairing ALL ROAD GROUP’s fiduciary duties to the client. Such payments are classified as inducements.Further details are included in the Compliance Manual.
Gifts and hospitality could lead to potential conflicts of interest. No employee may accept from, or give to, any person any gift or other benefit that cannot properly be regarded as justifiable in all circumstances. Policies and procedures have been implemented to ensure that staff and their connected persons do not offer or accept gifts or inducements which may give the perception that decisions or actions are not impartial.
These policies are set out in the Compliance Manual. All employees must actwith the highest standards of integrity to avoid any allegations of conflicts of interest.
A record is kept by the Compliance Officer of any gifts or hospitality received or given. Where an invitation to a hospitality event could be construed as being a business inducement, it must be declined and the Compliance Officer informed.
Personal account dealing
Employees may only undertake personal investment activities that do not breach applicable law or regulation, do not unduly distract from their employment responsibilities and do not create an unacceptable risk to the company’s reputation. Transactions should also be free from business and ethical conflicts of interest. Employees must never misuse proprietary or client confidential information in their personal dealings and must ensure that clients are never disadvantaged as a result of their dealings.
ALL ROAD GROUP’s Personal Account Dealing Policy has been established to ensure that personal account dealing by members of staff comply with this policy.
This includes a requirement for pre-deal approval from the Compliance Officer.
Such permission is normally only valid for 24 hours.
ALL ROAD GROUP’s Personal Account Dealing policy is set out in the firms’ Compliance Manual.
Outside employment, external Directorships and business interests
No employee may engage in any additional occupation without the consent of the Company. In certain circumstances, consent may be withheld.
Employees must not accept personal fiduciary appointments (such as trusteeships, Director appointments or executorships other than those resulting from family relationships) without first obtaining written approval from the COO or the Compliance Officer.
Aggregation of orders
Where ALL ROAD GROUP aggregates the orders of clients, it must ensure that this does not work to the overall disadvantage of any client whose order is to be aggregated. ALL ROAD GROUP makes reference to this within the Order Execution Policy.
Disclosure
In certain cases, ALL ROAD GROUP may disclose the general nature and/or source of potential or actual conflicts to its client in writing before undertaking business on its behalf so that the client can decide whether or not to accept these potential conflicts.
If it is not possible to avoid or manage a conflict of interest, ALL ROAD GROUP may have no choice but to decline to provide the service requested.
Segregation of Duties
There are several distinct tasks within the investment management business that could lead to potential conflicts of interest that are mitigated by them being segregated from the individuals directly involved in the task.
Information barriers
ALL ROAD GROUP maintains appropriate policies in its internal policies detailing the potential use of “Insider Lists” and “Information Barriers” often known as Chinese Walls so as to limit or withhold the use of information that is price sensitive, confidential, and could give rise to market abuse, restrictions on dealing, conflicts of interest, or any other improper or unethical activities.
The Compliance Officer monitors along with the relevant business line managers the effectiveness of any Information Barriers that may be required.
In certain circumstances staff may need to be taken “across the wall”, should this be required, the Compliance Officer must be notified and a record made thereof.
Remuneration and Oversight
The management oversight and determination of appropriate remuneration of members of staff is conducted by ALL ROAD GROUP’s Senior Management.Remuneration is based on the overall results of the firm and is not based on the success of any particular transaction.
Remuneration for customer facing and sales staff should be partly based on business production.
Staff are subject to appropriate management and supervision to ensure that ALL ROAD GROUP is able to demonstrate that it has appropriate and effective arrangements in place to ensure that conflicts of interest are properly managed.
Record Keeping
ALL ROAD GROUP must keep and regularly update a written record of the kinds of ancillary services or activities carried out by or on behalf of the firm in which a conflict of interest entailing a material risk of damage to the interests of one or more clients has arisen or, in the case of an ongoing service or activity, may arise. These records will be for a minimum period from the date of creation and are maintained on an ongoing basis by the Compliance Officer.
Reporting
Conflicts of Interest situations or potential conflicts situations should be reported to the Compliance Officer immediately.

In considering whether to engage in trading our products, you should be aware of the following risks:
GENERAL RISK FACTORS
We may provide our clients with factual market information about the transaction procedures and potential risk exposure and how risks may be minimised.
Appropriateness
You will be asked for information concerning your financial assets and earnings, trading experience and knowledge. You should consider whether you have adequate financial resources to meet your financial activity with us and your risk appetite in the products and services you use.

Our costs and charges are set out on our website allroadgroup-trusts.net within.
Before you begin to trade, you should obtain details of all our market information held on our website which contains all of our market information, commissions, and other charges for which you will be liable.
Must Monitor Positions
It is your responsibility to closely monitor your positions during the period you have applied any orders or positions to your account and you should always ensure you have accessibility to access your accounts during the period you have open contracts running.
Electronic Communications
We provide you with the opportunity to contact us through electronic means, such as email, live chat as available and/or applicable. This is usually a reliable means of communication, however there may be instances where you may experience technical issues that arise and therefore should not be entirely relied upon as a means of communication.

Please also refer to Electronic Trading below.
Our Products and Services
We offer execution service, investment services and management services services in relation to contracts across a wide range of underlying markets. Although the prices at which you open contracts are derived from the underlying market, the characteristics of our contracts can vary substantially from the actual underlying market or instrument.
INVESTMENT SPECIFIC RISKS
Investing in Financial products and FX
Certain strategies, such as 'spread' position or a 'straddle', may be as risky as a simple 'long' or 'short' position. Although derivative instruments can be utilised for the management of investment risk, some of these products are unsuitable for many investors. Different instruments involve different levels of exposure to risk and in deciding whether to trade in such instruments you should be aware of the following points:
Although derivative instruments can be used for the management of investment risk, some of these products are unsuitable for many investors.
Different instruments involve different levels of exposure to risk and in deciding whether to trade in such instruments you should be aware of the following points:
Futures
Transactions in futures involve the obligation to make, or to take, delivery of the underlying assets of the contract at a future date, or in some cases to settle the position with cash. They carry a high degree of risk. The ‹gearing› or ‹leverage› often obtainable in futures trading means that a small deposit or down payment can lead to large losses as well as gains. It also means that a relatively small movement can lead to a proportionately much larger movement in the value of your investment, and this can work against you as well as for you.
Off-Exchange Transactions in Derivatives
Our products are traded exclusively off-exchange, a type of trading which is also called dealing “over-the-counter” or “OTC”. In dealing with us off exchange you deal directly with us and we are the counterparty to all of your transactions. Depending on the market, our prices will usually be based on an exchange price but can fluctuate away from the underlying prices due to a variety of reasons. When dealing on markets which are not centrally cleared markets, there is no exchange or central clearing house to guarantee the settlement of such transactions. All open trades can only be closed and settled with us.
While some off-exchange markets are highly liquid, transactions in off exchange or 'non-transferable' derivatives may involve greater risk than investing in on-exchange derivatives because there is no exchange market on which to close out an open position. It may be impossible to liquidate an existing position (which may be particularly the case where there are abnormal market conditions – see the Terms and Conditions for more information), to assess the value of the position arising from an off-exchange transaction or to assess the exposure to risk. Bid and offer prices need not be quoted, and, even where they are, they will be established by dealers in these instruments.
Contracts for Difference (CFDs)
Nature
Contracts for Difference (CFDs) are a type of transaction the purpose of which is to secure a profit or avoid a loss by reference to the price value fluctuations of an underlying instrument. Types of CFDs offered by us may include Foreign Exchange CFDs (FX), Futures CFDs, Index CFDs. We do not offer Equity Share dealing in CFDs. CFDs can only be settled in cash.
Risks
FX and CFDs with ALL ROAD GROUP are physical transaction and margin transaction products . Investing in a CFD carries a high degree of risk because of these are margined products, which refers to the ‘gearing’ or ‘leverage which means that you can place a large trade by only putting up a small amount of money as margin. This is often a relatively small price movement that can lead to a proportionally much larger movement in the value of your investment. They settle based on the difference between the opening price and the closing price of the trade.
They can settle in a currency other than your base currency and therefore your profit or loss could be liable to foreign exchange fluctuations.
CFDs – General
Our FX and CFDs are our own products and are not listed on any exchange.
The prices and other conditions are set by us in accordance with our obligation to provide best execution as set out in our order execution policy, to act reasonably and in accordance with the applicable Client Agreement.
Each CFD you open with us results in you entering into a contract with us.
These contracts can be closed only with us, and are not transferable with any other person. All contracts do not provide any right to the underlying instruments or to voting rights. All contracts you enter into with ALL ROAD GROUP are legally enforceable by both parties.
You should not trade any margined product unless you fully understand all the risks involved with doing so and that you have sufficient resources available to you that in the event, however unlikely you may deem it to be, that there is an adverse movement in the price of that product that you can meet the financial obligations required by you with respect to margin payments and losses.
TRADING CONDITIONS RISKS
Volatility
You should be aware that prices can move quickly particularly at times of high market volatility. These risks could arise in or outside normal business hours, and can result in the balance of your account changing rapidly. If you do not have sufficient funds in your account to cover these situations, there is a risk that your positions will be automatically closed if the balance of your account falls below the close-out level.
Currency
If you trade in a market other than your base currency market, currency exchange fluctuations will impact your profits and losses.
Prices and Commissions
The prices quoted may not necessarily reflect the broader market. We will select closing prices to be used in determining margin requirements and in periodically marking to market the positions in customer accounts. Although we expect that these prices will be reasonably related to those available on what is known as the interbank market, prices we use may vary from those available to banks and other participants in the interbank market.
Consequently, we may exercise considerable discretion in setting margin requirements and collecting margin funds.
Before you begin to trade, you should obtain details of all our market information held on our website which contains all of our market information, commissions, and other charges for which you will be liable.
Market Liquidity
The price made by ALL ROAD GROUP, similar to the underlying market, is usually good, up to a certain size. In order to maintain additional liquidity to the market, we may apply a different spread to the price. Some markets which are quoted by us are done so outside of normal market hours, and as such are known as ‘grey markets’. In these situations, while every effort is made to keep prices and spreads consistent, this may not always be possible during particular volatile periods or during periods of illiquidity in corresponding markets.
Suspensions of Trading
This may occur, for example, at times of rapid price movements if the price rises or falls in one trading session to such an extent that under the rules of the relevant exchange, trading is suspended or restricted. Placing a stop-loss order will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such an order at the stipulated price.
Non-guaranteed Stops
Where you have added a non-guaranteed stop as part of your trading, when such a stop is triggered it effectively issues an order from you to us to close your contract. Your contract may not necessarily be closed immediately when the stop is triggered. We aim to deal with such orders fairly and promptly but the time taken to fill the order and the level at which the order is filled depends upon the underlying market. In fast-moving markets, a price for the level of your order might not be available or the market might move quickly and significantly away from the stop level before we are able to fill it.
Gapping
Gapping is a sudden shift in the price of an underlying market from one level to another, where there are no prices between those levels. Various factors can lead to gapping (for example, economic events or market announcements) and gapping can occur either when the underlying market is open or when it is closed. When these factors occur when the underlying market is closed, the price of the underlying market when it reopens (and therefore our derived price) can be markedly different from the closing price, with no opportunity to sell your instruments before the market opens.
Limit/Stop Orders
Limit orders are contingent orders by clients looking to open a trading position upon the market moving to a requested price (or better), and until such time it remains unfilled. A stop order is a request to automatically close out an open position upon the market moving to a requested price (or worse).
Such order types may be used to limit downside risks of moving markets, and are recommended to be used for those purposes.However, they do not guarantee that the fill price will be available at the requested price (which is dependent on available liquidity), especially in market gaps or fast moving markets.
Margin Calls & Close outs
In the case that the Margin Level in your trading account is below 100%, you will see a margin call on your trading platform and you will not be able to increase your overall exposure. If your Margin Level falls below 60%, the trading system will automatically start closing out your open positions.
This is to reduce (but not eliminate) the risk of you being liable for more than you have invested. It is strongly advised that clients should maintain sufficient margin in the client account to avoid being closed out as well as using limit/stop orders.“Margin Level” is equal to (Equity/Used Margin) x 100. “Equity” equals your account realised balance plus your floating profits/losses. “Used Margin” equals the total amount of margin placed with ALL ROAD GROUP to open positions. For example, if you have deposited 1,000$, and entered a USDGBP transaction requiring margin of 200$ and currently have a floating loss of 500$:
Balance = 1,000 $
Floating P&L = -500$
Equity = 500$ (Balance + Floating Profit/Loss)
Used Margin = 200$
Margin Call = 200$ ( If Floating P&L is -800$)
Stop out = 200$ * 60% = 120$
If loss reach -880$ then stop out happens.
In this case, a margin call would be identified on your trading platform. If the Floating P&L was greater than -880$, then the trading system would start to automatically close out your positions.
Quoted prices
You should note that all prices quoted on the platform or the website are indicative only, and constitute an invitation to treat. Upon you agreeing to enter into a transaction, an executable price may or may not differ from the quoted price.
Although the quoted prices are in normal market conditions very similar to the executed prices, the executed prices may vary if the market has moved (even in a split second) since you have requested a quote.
Client money
ALL ROAD GROUP holds all retail clients’ money in trust in segregated accounts.
Segregated Client Money is held entirely separate from ALL ROAD GROUP's own money, ensuring that in the unlikely event of default by ALL ROAD GROUP, client funds will be returned to the clients rather than being treated as a recoverable asset by general creditors of ALL ROAD GROUP. However this may not provide complete protection (for example, in the insolvency of our bank).
In addition, we operate a margin close out policy which closes out open positions where your margin level reaches or falls below your close out level.
This policy significantly reduces the likelihood of losses arising from client default that would result in our insolvency.
Funds transferred from an individual client to ALL ROAD GROUP will usually be received directly into a segregated client account. If money from an individual client is received into a general ALL ROAD GROUP account it is still considered to be Client Money from the time it reaches ALL ROAD GROUP’s accounts (rather than only being considered Client Money once it has been placed into a segregated client account).
ALL ROAD GROUP does not initiate speculative positions in the market.
Can Lose More than Initially Invested
Your investment value can work against you as well as also working in your favour. Even a small movement in price against you can lead to substantial losses including potentially losing more than the money placed on deposit.
You should be aware that prices can move quickly particularly at times of high market volatility.Insufficient Funds
If you do not have sufficient funds in your account to satisfy your margin requirements we may require you to deposit additional margin with us immediately to keep these trades open or even close any or all of your open positions (in some circumstances without warning) in accordance with the Client Agreement.
Contingent Liability Investment Transactions
Contingent liability investment transactions, which are margined, require you to make a series of payments against the purchase price, instead of paying the whole purchase price immediately.
If you trade in futures CFDs you may sustain a total loss of the margin you deposit with the firm to establish or maintain a position. If the market moves against you, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional margin at short notice to maintain the position. If you fail to do so within the time required, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be responsible for the resulting deficit. Even if a transaction is not margined, it may still carry an obligation to make further payments in certain circumstances over and above any amount paid when you entered the contract.
Liable for Losses
You are liable for any losses that may occur if your positions are closed. The potential losses, or profits, for margin traded products are unlimited and this should always be considered by you when making any trading decisions and be satisfied that the product is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial position. You should also be aware that it is possible for you to lose more money than your initial invested deposit.
Weekend and holiday risk
Not all trades can be opened or closed 24 hours a day. Many are subject to strict opening and closing times which can fluctuate. These are posted on our Contract Specifications which are available on the website, our trading platform and which we endeavour to keep up to date, without any obligation or liability on us to do so, or for its accuracy.
For example, national holidays and daylight savings changes will affect the times when you can trade. Also, a market may be suspended for a variety of reasons and during this time you will not usually be able to trade.
Electronic trading
The use of electronic trading systems and communication networks to facilitate trades. Clients that trade exposes you to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software system or network down timed access or connection failures.
Insolvency
The insolvency or default of any other brokers involved with your transaction, may lead to positions being liquidated or closed out without your knowledge or consent.
Corporate Action Events
We may make profits from our clients from the outcome of corporate action events such as rights issues, takeovers, mergers, share distributions or consolidations and open offers. We aim to reflect the treatment we receive, or, would receive if we were hedging our exposure to you in the underlying market. Ultimately however, you are not dealing in the underlying market and therefore in relation to our contracts:
we may have to ask you to make a decision on a corporate action event earlier than if you owned the underlying instrument; the options we make available to you might be more restricted and less advantageous to you then if you owned the underlying instrument; and/ or where you have a stop attached to your open OTC derivative share position, the treatment that you will receive from us will, to the maximum extent possible, aim to preserve the economic equivalent of the rights and obligations attached to your contract with us immediately prior to the corporate event taking place.
Tax
We do not provide tax advice and if you are in any doubt as to your tax obligations, you should seek independent advice.
Regulatory and Legal Risk
This is the risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially impact a security and investments in a sector or market. A change in laws or regulations made by the government or a regulatory body can increase the costs of operating a business, reduce the attractiveness of investment and/ or change the competitive landscape and as such alter the profit potential of an investment. This risk is unpredictable and may vary from market to market.

(b) are unable to confirm that the payment method belongs to you; or
(c) reasonably suspect the information provided with the request to be false, incomplete, or inaccurate, your request will be rejected and, where it is a request for a deposit, the funds will be returned to their source.

1.8 We apply a return to source policy whereby the withdrawal request will be processed to the payment method used when you made your deposit, with payment cards being a priority, except in the event where Applicable Regulations, the General Terms and Conditions, our Policies or other applicable terms require otherwise. This means that we will return the funds deposited using payment cards to such payment cards first, and then proceed to return the remaining funds, if any, to your other payment methods.

If we reasonably suspect your chargeback or cancellation request to be dishonest, we reserve the right to withhold any withdrawal request until the chargeback or cancellation request is investigated by the relevant third -party payment service provider.

(b) terminate our relationship with you pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions; or
(c) take any other action we deem fit in line with Applicable Regulations, the General Terms and Conditions, our Policies or other applicable terms.
