Locked Position
Long and short positions of the same size that are open on the same product can reduce the risk for the client in the adverse action market. This involves opening a position in the opposite direction of the same size as the open position. The margin is ¼ of the initial margin.
Liquidation
Bacera Bullion's trading platform will automatically place a liquidation order for a Client's open position(s) when their Total Equity balance falls below 20% of the Initial Margin required for all open positions.
*Derivative Markets can be very volatile, and Clients should be aware that prices on CFDs instruments may fluctuate rapidly over wide ranges. Prices depend on number of factors, including interest rates, supply and demand, and government actions. Clients should keep in mind that during such volatile market conditions Stop-Loss orders may not be honored at the price requested by the Client. It is possible that the market may "skip" the Stop-Loss order price due to a significant market event.
Limit Order/Stop Gain/Stop Loss
Bacera Bullion is committed to providing customers with the best trading services and best pricing in accordance with the transaction requirements. However, due to the impact of market fluctuations or other economic influences, the transaction price may not be able to be traded in accordance with the transaction requirements. Sometimes markets move so quickly that gapping occurs. If gapping occurs in the underlying market, pending orders will be automatically canceled due to insufficient margins. In addition, Bacera Bullion reserves the right at its discretion to make the final decision in regards to customer trade limits.
| Buy Limit: | an order to execute a transaction at a specified price (the limit) or lower |
| Sell Limit: | an order to execute a transaction only at a specified price (the limit) or higher |
| Buy Stop: | an order to execute in anticipation of the CFD price, having reached a certain level, will keep on increasing |
| Sell Stop | an order to execute in anticipation of the CFD price, having increase to a certain level, will fall. |
| * We do not accept "Buy Stop" and "Sell Stop" at the same time on the platform |
Market Open After a Weekend or Holiday
Due to market volatility after a weekend or holiday, Bacera Bullion will not guarantee that a limit order/stop gain/stop loss order will be fulfilled at the same price as requested by the client. Bacera Bullion will execute a limit order/stop gain/stop loss order if the prevailing market price difference is 20 pips or greater.
Economic Figures Announcements
30 minutes before key economic figures (i.e. U.S. non-farm payroll, U.S. employment, etc) are set to be announced, all limit orders and including stop loss and limit profit orders will have the ranges adjusted. After key economic announcements and/or gaps occur, your limit orders will be executed at first available market price, NOT your limit price. Bacera Bullion Compliance Department reserves the right to cancel any orders that are found to be placed improperly and/or in violation without prior notice.
*A forced liquidation may cause the greater change of prices and a gapped phenomenon due to the volatility of the market. The profit and loss of the relevant transaction price will regardless be the first priority after execution. The clients are resposible for any losses after the gap of transaction price.
