Risk Disclosure Statement
This brief statement (even though not required for OTC Trading) does not
disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in leveraged
investments. In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions
only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships)
into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. You
should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light
of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other circumstances.
- Effect of ‘Leverage’ or ‘Gearing’
Transactions in OTC accounts carry a high degree of risk. The amount
of initial margin is small relative to the value of the OTC contract
so that transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’.
A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger
impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit; this
may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss
of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the
firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position
or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to maintain
your position. If the market moves against your position or margin
levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional
funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply
with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your
position may be liquidated at a loss.
- Risk-reducing orders or strategies
The placing of certain orders (e.g. ‘stop-loss’ order, where
permitted under local law, or ‘stop-limit’ orders) which
are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective
because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
Strategies using combinations of positions, such as ‘spread’ and ‘straddle’ positions
may be as risky as taking simple ‘long’ or ‘short’ positions.
- Terms and conditions of contracts
You should ask the firm with which you deal about the terms and conditions
of the specific currencies which you are trading and associated obligations
(e.g. the circumstances under which you may become obligated to make
or take delivery of the full currency value).
- Suspension or restriction of trading and pricing relationships
Market conditions (e.g. illiquidity) and/or the operation of the rules
of certain markets (e.g. suspension of trading in any currency because
of price limits, government intervention or "circuit breakers")
may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible
to effect transactions or liquidate/offset positions.
- Deposited cash and property
You should familiarize yourself with the protections accorded money or
other property you deposit for domestic and foreign transactions, particularly
in the event of a firm insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which
you may recover your money or property may be governed by specific
legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property which had
been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the
same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a
shortfall.
- Commission and other charges
Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all
commission, fees, markups, markdowns, rollovers, interest rate differential
and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will
affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.
- Transactions in other jurisdictions
Transactions on currencies of other countries in other jurisdictions,
including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose
you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which
may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade
you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions.
Your local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement
of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions
where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm
with which you deal for details about the types of redress available
in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before
you start to trade.
- Currency risks
The profit and loss in transactions in foreign currency-denominated contracts
(whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction) will
be affected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need
to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another
currency.
- Trading facilities
OTC business is not traded on a regulated market and therefore does not
require open-outcry. Even though quotations or prices are afforded
by many computer-based component systems, the quotations and prices
may vary due to market liquidity. Many electronic trading facilities
are supported by computer-based component systems for the order-routing,
execution or matching of trades. As with all facilities and systems,
they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. Your ability
to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed
by the system provider, the market, the bank and/or financial institution.
Such limits may vary; you should ask the firm with which you deal for
details in this respect. SKYEAST FX offers trading in CFDs on shares,
market indices, and futures; not trading in the underlying instruments
themselves. CFD trading with SKYEAST FX therefore does not entitle
the Trader to dividends, delivery, or possibly certain other characteristics
of buying or selling the underlying instrument. Furthermore, CFD and
Foreign Exchange trading with SKYEAST FX is not conducted on any futures
or stock exchange and is not subject to the rules of any futures or
stock exchange.
- Electronic trading
Trading on an electronic trading system may differ not only from trading
in the interbank market but also from trading on other electronic trading
systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system,
you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the
failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure
may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions
or is not executed at all.
Disclaimers
- Internet and System failures: Since SKYEAST FX does not control signal
power, its reception or routing via Internet, configuration of your equipment
or reliability of its connection, we cannot be responsible for communication
failures, distortions, delays, when you trade on-line (via Internet).
Furthermore, any losses or foregone profits in Trader's account are the
responsibility of the Trader and not SKYEAST FX, even if software, hardware,
or other system failures or errors contributed to such losses or foregone
profits.
- Market risks and on-line trading: Trading currencies involves substantial
risk that is not be suitable for everyone. See Trader Agreement for more
detailed description of risks. Trading on-line, no matter how convenient
or efficient, does not necessarily reduce risks associated with currency
trading.
- Password protection:
The Trader is obligated to keep passwords secret and ensure that third
parties
do not obtain access to the trading facilities.
The Trader will be liable to SKYEAST FX for trades executed by means
of the Trader’s password even if such use may be wrongful.
- Quoting errors: Should
quoting errors occur due to a dealer’s
mistype of a quote, errors in an automatic price feed, or an erroneous
price quote from a dealer, such as but not limited to a wrong big figure
quote, SKYEAST FX will not be liable for the resulting errors in account
balances. SKYEAST FX reserves the right to make the necessary corrections
or adjustments on the account involved. Any dispute arising from such
quoting errors will be resolved on a basis of a fair market value of
a currency or CFD at the time such an error occurred.
Account Letter
This is a legal contract
between SKYEAST Investment Ltd ("SKYEAST
FX") its successors and assigns, and the party (or parties) executing
this document.
In connection with opening
an account to speculate and/or purchase and/or sell Contracts For Difference
(hereinafter
referred to as “CFDs”),
futures, indices, foreign exchange, and/or shares through the OTC market
(hereinafter referred to as “OTC”) with SKYEAST FX, Customer
(hereinafter referred to as Trader) acknowledges that Trader has been advised
and understands the following factors concerning trading in leveraged OTC,
in addition to those contained in the following Risk Disclosure Statement
and the Bankruptcy Statement which have been provided to Trader.
- OTC is not traded on a regulated exchange. There are no guarantees
to the credit worthiness of the counter party of your Currency position.
Every attempt has been made to deal with reputable credit worthy banks/clearing
houses. Also, there may be certain cases in which trading liquidity decreases
causing trading in a certain Currency to cease, thereby preventing the
liquidation of an adverse position which may result in a substantial
financial loss.
- Trading in OTC is suitable only for those sophisticated institutions
or sophisticated participants financially able to withstand losses which
may equal the value of margins or deposits. OTC accounts are not available
through SKYEAST FX to non-sophisticated participants.
- The market recommendations
of SKYEAST FX are based solely on the judgment of SKYEAST FX’s
personnel. These market recommendations may or may not be consistent
with the
market position or intentions of SKYEAST
FX, its affiliates, and employees. The market recommendations of SKYEAST
FX are based upon information believed to be reliable, but SKYEAST FX
cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness thereof or
represent that following such recommendations will eliminate the risk
inherent in trading currency. Any market recommendations of, or information
provided by, SKYEAST FX do not constitute an offer to buy or sell, or
the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, any OTC transaction.
- Trader understands that
SKYEAST FX does not permit its Account Executives to either exercise
discretion
or manage an OTC account, or hold a power
of attorney over an OTC account, unless approved by an executive officer
of SKYEAST FX and only after proper documentation has been submitted
and approved by SKYEAST FX. If Trader’s account is not being traded
with Trader’s authorization, Trader must notify a SKYEAST FX Compliance
Officer immediately.
- SKYEAST FX’s margin policies and/or the policies of those banks/clearing
houses through which trades are executed may require that additional
funds be provided to properly margin Trader’s account and that
Trader is obligated to immediately meet such margin requirements. Failure
to meet margin calls may result in the liquidation of any open positions
with a resultant loss. SKYEAST FX also reserves the right to refuse to
accept any order.
- Trader understands that
Trader must carefully review the reports relating to Trader’s
trading provided to Trader by SKYEAST FX. Pursuant to the Trader Agreement,
all reports of execution will be deemed final
within twenty-four (24) hours and all statements of account will be deemed
final within one (1) day , unless the Trader makes a written objection
to these reports within this 24 hour period of time to an executive officer
of SKYEAST FX , at its principal place of business.
- The Trader has read
and understands the Trader’s obligations
and rights under the following Trader Agreement and agrees and acknowledges
that the following Trader Agreement will control the Trader’s relationship
with SKYEAST FX. The Trader agrees that Trader is fully responsible for
making all final decisions as to transactions effected for Trader’s
account. Trader has considered the foregoing factors and in view of Trader’s
present and anticipated financial resources, Trader is willing and able
to assume the substantial financial risks of OTC trading.
Trader Agreement
In consideration of SKYEAST
FX agreeing to carry one or more accounts of the undersigned ("Trader") and providing services to Trader
in connection with the purchase and sale of Contracts For Difference (hereinafter
referred to as “CFDs”), futures, indices, foreign exchange,
and/or shares through the OTC market (hereinafter referred to as “OTC”)
, which may be purchased or sold by or through SKYEAST FX for Trader’s
accounts(s), Trader agrees as follows:
- AUTHORIZATION TO TRADE.
SKYEAST FX is authorized to purchase and sell OTC for Trader’s account(s) in accordance with Trader’s
oral or written or computer instructions.
- GOVERNMENTAL, COUNTER PARTY INSTITUTION AND INTERBANKING SYSTEM RULES.
All transactions under this Agreement shall be subject to the constitution,
by-laws, rules, regulations, customs, usage, rulings and interpretations
of the counter party institution or other interbank market (and its clearing
organization, if any) where executed and to all applicable laws and regulations.
If any statute shall hereafter be enacted or any rule or regulation shall
hereafter be adopted by any governmental authority, or a contract market
or clearing organization which shall be binding upon SKYEAST FX and shall
affect in any manner or be inconsistent with any of the provisions hereof,
the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed modified or
superseded, as the case may be by the applicable provisions of such statute,
rule or regulation, and all other provisions of this Agreement and provisions
so modified shall in all respects continue in full force and effect.
Trader acknowledges that all transactions under this Agreement are subject
to the aforementioned regulatory requirements and Trader shall not thereby
be given any independent legal or contractual rights with respect to
such requirements.
- MARGINS AND DEPOSIT
REQUIREMENTS. Trader shall provide to and maintain with SKYEAST FX
margin in such
amounts and in such forms as SKYEAST FX,
in its sole discretion, may require. Such margin requirements may be
greater or less than margins required by a counter party bank. SKYEAST
FX may change margin requirements at any time. Trader agrees to deposit
by immediate wire transfer such additional margin when and as required
by SKYEAST FX and will promptly meet all margin calls in such mode of
transmission as SKYEAST FX in its sole discretion designates. SKYEAST
FX may at any time proceed to liquidate Trader’s account and any
failure by SKYEAST FX to enforce its rights hereunder shall not be deemed
a waiver by SKYEAST FX to enforce its rights thereafter. SKYEAST FX retains
the right to limit the amount and/or total number of open positions which
Trader may acquire or maintain at SKYEAST FX, and to increase margin
requirements on individual share CFDs in advance of earnings or other
news or events, with or without notice, either before such events or
retroactively. SKYEAST FX will attempt to execute all orders which it
may, in its sole discretion, choose to accept in accordance with the
oral or written or computer instructions of Trader’s. SKYEAST FX
reserves the right to refuse to accept any order. However, SKYEAST FX
shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused, directly or indirectly,
by any events, actions or omissions beyond the control of SKYEAST FX
including, without limitation, loss or damage resulting, directly or
indirectly, from any delays or inaccuracies in the transmission of orders
and/or information due to a breakdown in or failure of any transmission
or communication facilities.
- AUTOMATIC ROLLOVER AND
VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION OF ACCOUNT POSITIONS. Except as otherwise provided
herein,
or in the Trading Procedures as
in effect from time to time, unless Trader provides to SKYEASTFX written
or oral instructions to liquidate an open FOREX position in the Account
(each, a "Spot FOREX Position") in accordance with the subsequent
provisions of this Section 4, that position will be automatically rolled-over
as an open position in the Account to the next business day, successively,
subject at all times to the right of SKYEASTFX , in its sole and absolute
discretion, to liquidate said position in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section
6 hereof. A Spot FOREX Position in the Account may be settled or liquidated
at any time by means of either (i) entering into an offsetting Spot FOREX
Transaction or (ii) making or taking delivery of the specified quantities
of foreign currency. In order to liquidate an open Spot FOREX Position
in the Account by selling or purchasing, as applicable, an equal and
opposite offsetting Spot FOREX Contract, written instructions must be
given to SKYEASTFX by Trader. Alternatively, in order to liquidate an
open Spot FOREX Position in the Account by means of delivering, or taking
delivery, of the underlying currency, written or oral instructions to
this effect must be given to SKYEASTFX, together with sufficient funds
and all documents necessary to effectuate this mode of settlement.
- COLLATERAL AND LENDING
AGREEMENT. All funds, securities, currencies, and other property of
Trader which
SKYEAST FX or its affiliates may at
any time be carrying for Trader (either individually, jointly with other,
or as a guarantor of the account of any other person,) or which may at
any time be in its possession or control or carried on its books for
any purpose, including safekeeping, are to be held by SKYEAST FX as security
and subject to a general lien and right of set-off for liabilities of
Trader to SKYEAST FX whether or not SKYEAST FX has made advances in connection
with such securities, commodities, currencies or other property, and
irrespective of the number of accounts Trader may have with SKYEAST FX.
SKYEAST FX may in its discretion, at any time and from time to time,
without notice to Trader, apply and/or transfer any or all funds or other
property of Trader between any of Trader’s accounts. Trader hereby
also grants to SKYEAST FX the right to pledge, re-pledge, hypothecate,
invest or loan, either separately or with the property of other Traders,
to itself as broker or to others, any securities or other property of
Trader held by SKYEAST FX as margin or security. SKYEAST FX shall at
no time be required to deliver to Trader the identical property delivered
to or purchased by SKYEAST FX for any account of Trader. This authorization
shall apply to all accounts carried by SKYEAST FX for Trader and shall
remain in full force until all accounts are fully paid for by Trader
or notice of revocation is sent by SKYEAST FX from its home office.
- LIQUIDATION OF ACCOUNTS
AND PAYMENT OF DEFICIT BALANCES. In the event of (a) the death or judicial
declaration
of incompetence of Trader; (b)
the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, or a petition for the appointment
of a receiver, or the institution of any insolvency or similar proceeding
by or against Trader; (c) the filing of an attachment against any of
Trader’s accounts carried by SKYEAST FX, (d) insufficient margin,
or SKYEAST FX’s determination that any collateral deposited to
protect one or more accounts of Trader is inadequate, regardless of current
market quotations, to secure the account; (e) Trader’s failure
to provide SKYEAST FX any information requested pursuant to this agreement;
or (f) any other circumstances or developments that SKYEAST FX deems
appropriate for its protection, and in SKYEAST FX’s sole discretion,
it may take one or more, or any portion of, the following actions: (1)
satisfy any obligation Trader may have to SKYEAST FX, either directly
or by way of guaranty of suretyship, out of any of Trader’s funds
or property in its custody or control; (2) sell any or purchase any or
all Currency contracts, securities held or carried for Trader; and (3)
cancel any or all outstanding orders or contracts, or any other commitments
made on behalf of Trader. Any of the above actions may be taken without
demand for margin or additional margin, without prior notice of sale
or purchase or other notice to Trader, Trader’s personal representatives,
heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, legatees or assigns and regardless
of whether the ownership interest shall be solely Trader’s or held
jointly with others. In liquidation of Trader’s long or short positions,
SKYEAST FX may, in its sole discretion, offset in the same settlement
or it may initiate new long or short positions in order to establish
a spread or straddle which in SKYEAST FX’s sole judgment may be
advisable to protect or reduce existing positions in Trader’s account.
Any sales or purchases hereunder may be made according to SKYEAST FX’s
judgment and at its discretion with any interbank or other exchange market
where such business is then usually transacted or at a public auction
or private sale, and SKYEAST FX may purchase the whole or any part thereof
free from any right of redemption. Trader shall at all times be liable
for the payment of any deficit balance of Trader upon demand by SKYEAST
FX and in all cases, Trader shall be liable for any deficiency remaining
in Trader’s account(s) in the event of the liquidation thereof
in whole or in part by SKYEAST FX or by Trader. In the event the proceeds
realized pursuant to this authorization are insufficient for the payment
of all liabilities of Trader due to SKYEAST FX, trader shall promptly
pay upon demand, the deficit and all unpaid liabilities, together with
interest thereon equal to three (3) percentage points above the then
prevailing prime rate at SKYEAST FX’s principal bank or the maximum
interest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, and all costs of collection,
including attorney’s fees, witness fees, travel expenses and the
like. In the event SKYEAST FX incurs expenses other than for the collection
of deficits, with respect to any of the account(s) of Trader, Trader
agrees to pay such expenses.
- COMMISSIONS AND OTHER ACCOUNT CHARGES. Trader shall pay all such brokerage,
commission, and special service charges and regulatory fees as SKYEAST
FX may from time to time charge to the Account, and all other charges
(including, without limitation, cross-currency overnight interest debits,
mark-ups and mark-downs, statement charges, idle Account charges, order
cancellation charges, Account transfer charges and other charges) and
fees (including, without limitation, fees imposed by any bank, clearing
house, contract market or regulatory or self-regulatory organization)
SKYEAST FXing out of SKYEAST FX's providing of services hereunder. SKYEAST
FX may at any time change its commission schedule, and increase or decrease
the charges and/or fees payable hereunder and there under without notice.
Trader agrees to be liable to SKYEAST FX for interest on any and all
amounts due from Trader to SKYEAST FX hereunder, including, without limitation,
the amount of required margin not timely deposited in the Account, at
an interest rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the then prevailing
prime rate at SKYEAST FX's principal overseas bank, or the maximum interest
rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. All such charges
payable to SKYEAST FX by Trader shall be paid by Trader as they are incurred,
or as SKYEAST FX in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and
Trader hereby expressly authorizes SKYEAST FX to withdraw the amount
of any such commissions and other charges directly from the Account.
In the event that the deposits and/or credit balances in the Account
are insufficient to cover such commissions and other charges, the unpaid
balance of such charges shall automatically become a debit balance in
the Account, to the extent of such non-coverage, subject to the same
terms relating thereto as are described in Section 6 hereof.
- STATEMENT AND CONFIRMATION. Reports of the confirmation of orders and
statements of Account for the Account shall be deemed correct and shall
be conclusive and binding upon Trader if not objected to by Trader in
writing within one (1) calendar days after transmittal to Trader by email.
Margin calls shall be deemed to be conclusive and binding unless objected
to by Trader immediately by email. Written objections on Trader's part
shall be directed to SKYEAST FX and shall be deemed received only if
actually delivered to SKYEAST FX. Failure of Trader to object timely
shall be deemed ratification of all actions taken by SKYEAST FX or SKYEAST
FX's agents.
- COMMUNICATIONS. Reports, statements, notices and any other communications
may be transmitted such address as Trader may from time to time designate
in writing to SKYEAST FX. All communications so sent, whether by email,
Live Support.
- SKYEAST FX RESPONSIBILITIES.
SKYEAST FX will not be responsible for delays in the transmission of
orders due to a breakdown or failure of
transmission or communication facilities, electrical power outage or
for any other cause beyond SKYEAST FX’s control or anticipation.
SKYEAST FX shall only be liable for its actions directly attributable
to negligence, willful default or fraud on the part of SKYEAST FX. SKYEAST
FX shall not be liable for losses arising from the default of any agent
or any other party used by SKYEAST FX under this agreement. As OTC is
not an exchange traded market, prices at which SKYEAST FX deals at or
quotes may or may not be similar to prices at which other OTC market
makers deal at or quote.
- CURRENCY FLUCTUATION
RISK. If Trader directs SKYEAST FX to enter into any currency forex
transaction:
(a) any profit or loss arising as a result
of a fluctuation in the exchange rate affecting such currency will be
entirely for Trader’s account and risk; (b) all initial and subsequent
deposits for margin purposes shall be made in U.S. dollars, in such amounts
as SKYEAST FX may in its sole discretion require; and (c) SKYEAST FX
is authorized to convert funds in Trader’s account for margin into
and from such foreign currency at a rate of exchange determined by SKYEAST
FX in its sole discretion on the basis of the then prevailing money market
rates.
- RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Trader acknowledges that investment in leveraged and non-leveraged
transactions are speculative,
involves a high degree
of risk, and is appropriate only for persons who can assume risk of loss
of their entire margin deposit. Trader understands that because of the
low margin normally required in OTC trading, price changes in OTC may
result in significant losses. Trader warrants that Trader is willing
and able, financially and otherwise, to assume the risk of OTC trading,
and in consideration of SKYEAST FX’s carrying his/her account(s),
Trader agrees not to hold SKYEAST FX responsible for losses incurred
through following its trading recommendations or suggestions or those
of its employees, agents or representatives. Trader recognizes that guarantees
of profit or freedom from loss are impossible of performance in OTC trading.
Trader acknowledges that Trader has received no such guarantees from
SKYEAST FX or from any of its representatives or any introducing agent
or other entity with whom Trader is conducting his/her SKYEAST FX account
and has not entered into this agreement in consideration of or in reliance
upon any such guarantees or similar representations.
- TRADING RECOMMENDATIONS.
(a) Trader acknowledges that (i) any market recommendations and information
communicated to Trader by SKYEAST FX
or by any person within the company, does not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any OTC contract, (ii) such
recommendation and information, although based upon information obtained
form sources believed by SKYEAST FX to be reliable, may be based solely
on a broker’s opinion and that such information may be incomplete
and may be unverified, and (iii) SKYEAST FX makes no representation,
warranty or guarantee as to, and shall not be responsible for, the accuracy
or completeness of any information or trading recommendation furnished
to Trader. Trader acknowledges that SKYEAST FX and/or its officers, directors,
affiliates, associates, stockholders or representatives may have a position
in or may intend to buy or sell currencies, which are the subject of
market recommendations furnished to Trader, and that the market position
of SKYEAST FX or any such officer, director, affiliate, associate, stockholder
or representative may not be consistent with the recommendations furnished
to Trader by SKYEAST FX. Trader acknowledges that SKYEAST FX makes no
representations concerning the tax implications or treatment of contracts;
and, (b) Trader further acknowledges that should Trader grant trading
authority or control over Trader’s account to a third party ("Trading
Agent"), whether on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis,
SKYEAST FX shall in no way be responsible for reviewing Trader’s
choice of such Trading Agent nor making any recommendations with respect
thereto. Trader understands that SKYEAST FX makes no warranties nor representations
concerning the Trading Agent, that SKYEAST FX shall not be responsible
for any loss to Trader occasioned by the actions of the Trading Agent
and that SKYEAST FX does not, by implication or otherwise, endorse or
approve of the operating methods of the Trading Agent. If Trader gives
Trading Agent authority to exercise any of its rights over Trader’s
account(s), Trader understands that Trader does so at Trader’s
own risk.
- TRADER REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES. Trader represents and warrants that: (a) Trader is
of sound mind, legal
age and legal competence; and,
(b) No person other than Trader has or will have an interest in Trader’s
account(s); and, (c) Trader hereby warrants that regardless of any subsequent
determination to the contrary, Trader is suitable to trade OTC and is
a sophisticated institution and/or institutional participant; and, (d)
Trader is not now an employee of any exchange, any corporation in which
any exchange owns a majority of the capital stock, any member of any
exchange and/or firm registered on any exchange, or any bank, trust,
or insurance company, and in the event that Trader becomes so employed,
Trader will promptly notify SKYEAST FX at its home office in writing
of such employment; and, (e) All the information provided in the information
portion of this booklet is true, correct and complete as of the date
hereof and Trader will notify SKYEAST FX promptly of any changes in such
information.

INFORMATION. The Trader represents and warrants that the financial
information disclosed
to SKYEAST FX in this document
is an accurate representation of the Trader’s current financial
condition. The Trader represents and warrants that the Trader has very
carefully considered the portion of the Trader’s assets which the
Trader considers to be Risk Capital. The Trader recognizes that Risk
Capital is the amount of money the Trader is willing to put at risk and
if lost would not, in any way, change the Trader’s lifestyle. The
Trader agrees to immediately inform SKYEAST FX if the Trader’s
financial condition changes in such a way to reduce the Trader’s
Net Worth, Liquid Assets and/or Risk Capital.
- NO GUARANTEES. Trader
acknowledges that Trader has no separate agreement with Trader’s broker or any SKYEAST FX employee or agent regarding
the trading in Trader’s SKYEAST FX account, including any agreement
to guarantee profits or limit losses in Trader’s account. Trader
understands that Trader must authorize every transaction prior to its
execution unless Trader has delegated discretion to another party by
signing SKYEAST FX’s limited trading authorization, and any disputed
transactions must be brought to the attention of SKYEAST FX’s Compliance
Officer pursuant to the notice requirements of this Trader Agreement.
Trader agrees to indemnify and hold SKYEAST FX harmless form all damages
or liability resulting form Trader’s failure to immediately notify
SKYEAST FX’s Compliance Officer of any of the occurrences referred
to herein. All notices required under this section shall be sent to SKYEAST
FX at its home office.
- NO WAIVER OR AMENDMENT. No provision of this Agreement may be waived
or amended unless the waiver or amendment is in writing and signed by
both Trader and an authorized officer of SKYEAST FX. No waiver or amendment
of this Agreement may be implied from any course of dealing between the
parties or from any failure by SKYEAST FX or its agents to assert its
rights under this Agreement on any occasion or series of occasions. No
oral agreements or instructions to the contrary shall be recognized or
enforceable. This instrument and the attachments hereto embody the entire
agreement of the parties, superseding any and all prior written and oral
agreements and there are no other terms, conditions or obligations other
than those contained herein.
- GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. This Agreement, and the rights and
obligations hereunder of the parties hereto, shall in all respects be
governed by, and construed and enforced in all respects by the international
laws governing such matters.
- BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be continuous and shall cover,
individually and collectively, all accounts of Trader at any time opened
or reopened with SKYEAST FX irrespective of any change or changes at
any time in the personnel of SKYEAST FX or its successors, assigns, or
affiliates. This Agreement including all authorizations, shall inure
to the benefit of SKYEAST FX and its successors and assigns, whether
by merger, consolidation or otherwise, and shall be binding upon Trader
and/or the estate, executor, trustees, administrators, legal representatives,
