• FX CONTRACTS are 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.

  • Particular trading strategies may carry fines with our without warning. These include but are not limited to extreme scalping strategies opening and closing trades within a matter of seconds. This includes rapid hedging and simultaneous closing of orders.
  • Any attempt to monetize client’s account using machine arbitrage may carry fines with our without warning.
  • FinOdds and its liquidity providers reserve the right to prevent arbitrage or extreme scalping strategies as they deem necessary.
  • Once a client is warned any and all fines may be immediately applied.
• Client understands that Client must carefully review statements and reports relating to Client's Account and trading made available to Client through the FinOdds trading platform. Pursuant to this Client 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 after that are made available on the FinOdds platform, unless the Client makes a written objection to these reports within this 24 hour period of time to an executive officer of FinOdds, at its principal place of business.
• The Client has read and understands the Client's obligations and rights under this Client Agreement and agrees and acknowledges that this Client Agreement will control the Client's relationship with FinOdds.
