6.7. Types of Interchange Orders Accepted. Some of the types of orders the Company accepts include, but are not limited to:
6.7.1. Good till Cancelled (“GTC”) – An order (other than a market order), that by its terms is effective until filled or cancelled by Client. GTC Orders are not automatically cancelled at the end of the Business Day on which they are placed;
6.7.2. Limit/Stop – An order (other than a market order) to buy or sell the identified contract at a specified price. A limit order to buy generally will be executed when the ask price equals the price that you specify in the limit order. A stop order to buy generally will be executed when the ask price the price that you specify in the limit order. A limit order to sell generally will be executed when the bid price equals the price that you specify in the limit order. A stop order to sell generally will be executed when the bid price equals the price that you specify in the limit order. Limit Orders (Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Take Profit) only execute at the entry price (trigger price). If the best available price at the time of execution is not at the entry price, the order resets and waits for execution. Stop Orders (Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Stop Loss) guarantee execution but do not guarantee the specified price. When triggered, stop orders become a market order available for execution at the next available market price. Slippage may be enabled for Pending Orders, as well;
6.7.3. Market– An order to buy or sell the identified contract at the current market price that the Company provides via the Online Trading System. An order to buy is executed at the current market ask price and an order to sell is executed at the current market bid price;
6.7.4. One Cancels the Other (“OCO”) – An order that is linked to another order. If one of the orders is executed, the other will be automatically cancelled;
6.7.5. Stop Loss – A stop loss order is an instruction to buy or sell a market at a price which is worse than the opening price of an open position (or worse than the prevailing price when applying the stop loss order to an already open position). It can be used to help protect against losses. Please note that because of market gapping, the best available price that may be achieved could be materially different to the price set on the stop loss order and as such, stop loss orders are not guaranteed to take effect at the price for which they are set;
6.7.6. Trailing Stop – A trailing stop is the same as a stop loss order with the only difference being that, instead of setting a price at which the order is activated, the trailing stop order is activated at a fixed distance from the market price. For example, if Client has purchased a long open position and the market ask price increases, the trailing stop price will also increase and will trail behind the market ask price at the fixed distance set by Client. If the market ask price then decreases, the trailing stop price will remain fixed at its last position and if the market ask price reaches the trailing stop price, the order will be executed. Please note that because of market gapping, the best available price that may be achieved could be materially different to the price set on the trailing stop order and as such, trailing stop orders are not guaranteed to take effect at the fixed distance for which they are set.
Following submission of an order, it is your sole responsibility to remain available for order and fill confirmations, and other communications regarding your Account until all open orders are completed. Thereafter, you must monitor your Account frequently when you have open positions in the Account. Your order shall be valid in accordance with the type and time of the given order, as specified. If the time of validity or expiration date/time of the order is not specified, it shall be valid for an indefinite period.
6.8. Terms of Acceptance for Interchange Orders. It is your sole responsibility to clearly indicate the terms of an order when entered, whether it is a market order, limit order, stop loss order or any other type of order, including the relevant price and lot size. You acknowledge and agree that, despite our best efforts, the price at which execution occurs may be materially different to the price specified in your order. This may result from sudden price movements in the underlying assets that are beyond our control. The Company shall have no liability for failure to execute orders. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reject any order in whole or in part prior to execution, or to cancel any order, where your Account contains margin that is insufficient to support the entire order or where such order is illegal or otherwise improper.
6.9. Execution Policy. Where you place orders with us, the execution factors that we consider and their relative importance is as set out below:
6.9.1. Price. The relative importance we attach is “high”.
6.9.2. Speed. The relative importance we attach is “high”.

6.11. Authority.

6.13. Right not to accept orders. We may, but shall not be obliged to, accept instructions to enter into a Transaction. If we decline to enter into a proposed Transaction, we shall not be obliged to give a reason but we shall promptly notify you accordingly.
6.14. Control of orders prior to execution. We have the right (but not the obligation) to set limits and/or parameters to control your ability to place orders at our absolute discretion. Such limits and/or parameters may be amended, increased, decreased, removed or added to by us at our absolute discretion and may include (without limitation):
6.14.1. controls over maximum order amounts and maximum order sizes;
6.14.2. controls over our total exposure to you;

6.14.5. any other limits, parameters or controls which we may be required to implement in accordance with Applicable Regulations.
6.15. Trade Adjustments. Clients must be aware that transactions carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin may be small relative to the value of the transaction so that transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’. A relatively small price movement may have a proportionately larger impact on the cryptocurrency units that the Client has deposited or will have to deposit. This may work against as well as for the client. The Company exclusively reserves the right to widen its variable spreads, adjust leverage, change its rollover rates and/or increase the margin requirements without notice under certain market conditions including, but not limited to, when the trading desk is closed, around fundamental announcements, as a result of changes in credit markets and/or at times of extreme market volatility. In such circumstances, the Client agrees to indemnify the Company for any and all losses that may occur due the widening of spreads and the adjustment of leverage.
6.16. Execution of interchange orders. We shall use our reasonable endeavors to execute any interchange order promptly, but in accepting your interchange orders we do not represent or warrant that it will be possible to execute such order or that execution will be possible according to your instructions. If we encounter any material difficulty relevant to the proper carrying out of an order on your behalf we shall notify you promptly.
6.17. Confirmations. At the end of each trading day, confirmations for all Transactions that we have executed on your behalf on that trading day will be available via your Account on our trading platform, which is updated online as each interchange deal is executed. Confirmation of execution and statements of your Account(s), in the absence of manifest error, shall be deemed correct, conclusive and binding upon you if not objected to immediately by email (support@xtexchange.com) if orders were placed through Arwena Limited’s Online Trading System or by telephone to the Arwena Limited Trading Desk, within one business day of making such conformations available to you via our platform or we notify you of an error in the confirmation within the same period. In cases where the prevailing market represents prices different from the prices posted by the Company, the Company will attempt, on a best efforts basis and in good faith, to execute market orders on or close to the prevailing market prices. This may or may not adversely affect client’s realized and unrealized gains and losses.
6.18. Improper or Abusive Trading. The Company’s objective is to provide the most efficient interchange environment available in the form of streaming, tradable prices for most of the contracts we offer on the trading platform. As a result of the highly automated nature of the delivery of these streaming, tradable prices, you acknowledge and accept that price misquotations are likely to occur from time to time. Should you execute trading strategies with the objective of exploiting such misquotation(s) or act in bad faith (commonly known as ‘sniping’), the Company shall consider this as unacceptable behaviour. Should the Company determine, at its sole discretion and in good faith, that you or any representative of yours trading on your behalf is taking advantage, benefitting, attempting to take advantage or to benefit of such misquotation(s) or that you are committing any other improper or abusive trading act such as for example:
6.18.1. fraud/illegal actions that led to the transaction;
6.18.2. orders placed based on manipulated prices as a result of system errors, system malfunctions or repeated/recursive rounding down mechanism;
6.18.3. arbitrage trading on prices offered by our platforms as a result of systems errors; and/or
