Rollovers, Interest
A daily financing charge may apply to each FX/CFD open position at the closing of jmedia111.com ’s trading day as regard to that FX/CFD. If such financing charge is applicable, it will either be requested to be paid by Customer directly tojmedia111.com or it will be paid by house-investments.com to Customer, depending on the type of FX/CFD and the nature of the position Customer holds. The method of calculation of the financing charge varies according to the type of FX/CFD to which it applies. Moreover, the amount of the financing charge will vary as it is linked to current interest rates (such as LIBOR). The financing charge will be credited or debited (as appropriate) to Customer’s account on the next trading day following the day to which it relates.
jmedia111.com reserves the right to change the method of calculating the financing charge, the financing rates and/or the types of FX/CFDs to which the financing charge applies. For certain types of FX/CFDs, a commission is payable by Customer to open and close FX/CFD positions. Such commission payable will be debited from Customer’s account at the same time as F house-investments.com opens or closes the relevant FX/CFD. Changes in our swap interest rates and calculations shall be at our own discretion and without notice. Clients need to always check our website for the then current rates charged. Rates may change quickly due to market conditions (changes in interest rates, volatility, liquidity etc.) and due to various risk related matters that are at the firm’s sole discretion.
The future contract on which a CFD is based has an expiration date, and clients will be able to close their CFD positions until this date. Positions not closed by clients by this date will be closed by house-investments.com at the last available price. Approximately 3-5 days before expiring, a new CFD based on the next future contract will begin trading. During this period, no new positions can be opened in the old CFD contract.
This Adjustment will show up in your account under Rollover Charge and will not affect the real value of your Equity. However, you should be aware that the switch between the two Future prices of the underlying CFD could involve a substantial price difference. Therefore, Entry Orders might be filled on Market rates rather then on the predefined rates. If you do not want to incur the price adjustment or any implication of the underlying CFD rollover, you can close your position(s) and/or cancel Orders before the rollover date and open a new position afterwards.jmedia111.com , at its best effort, will inform customers about any projected expiration of instruments by Popup, email or through the site.
Any open FX/CFD transaction held by Customer at the end of the trading day as determined by jmedia111.com or over the weekend, shall automatically be rolled over to the next business day so as to avoid an automatic close and physical settlement of the transaction. Customer acknowledges that when rolling over such transactions to the next business day, a premium may be either added or subtracted from Customer’s account with respect to such transaction. The MT4 platform calculates overnight rollover at 21:00 GMT and the rollover charge/credit is debited or credited to and from the trading account. Example: If you sell 1 lot EURUSD, you will pay rollover costs on 100.000 Euro, which at the current rate would be $0.017. This rate may vary over time, for actual rates click here.
On Wednesday at 21:00 GMT, overnight rollover fees are multiplied by three (x3) in order to compensate for the upcoming weekend. The premium amount shall be determined by house-investments.com from time to time, in jmedia111.com ’s absolute discretion.

TRADING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
jmedia111.com reserves the right but not the obligation to change or adapt these trading policies and procedures according o legal requirements and specifications without any prior notice.
Placing of instructions
Types of Orders Accepted
Some of the types of orders house-investments.com accepts include, but are not limited to:
Good till Cancelled (“GTC”)– An order (other than a market order), that by its terms is effective until filled or cancelled by Customer. GTC Orders do not automatically cancel at the end of the Business Day on which they are placed.
Limit– An order (other than a market order) to buy or sell the identified market at a specified price. A limit order to buy generally will be executed when the ask price equals or falls below the bid price that you specify in the limit order. A limit order to sell generally will be executed when the bid price equals or exceeds the ask price that you specify in the limit order.
Market– An order to buy or sell the identified market at the current market price that jmedia111.com provides either via the Online Trading System or over the telephone through one of the dealers. 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.
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.
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.
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 Customer 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 Customer. 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.
Terms of Acceptance for 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.jmedia111.com shall have no liability for failure to execute orders. jmedia111.com 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.
Execution Policy
We are required to have an execution policy and to provide our clients with appropriate information in relation to our execution policy. Where you place orders with us, the execution factors that we consider and their relative importance is as set out below:
Price. The relative importance we attach is “high”.
Speed. The relative importance we attach is “high”.
Likelihood of execution and settlement. The relative importance we attach is “high”.
Size. The relative importance we attach is “high”.
We are the principal to every order you place with us and therefore we are the only execution venue.
Authority

If your Account is a joint account, you agree that we are authorized to act on the instructions of any one person in whose name the Account is held, without further inquiry.

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.
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):
controls over maximum order amounts and maximum order sizes;
controls over our total exposure to you;
controls over prices at which orders may be submitted (to include (without limitation) controls over orders which are at a price which differs greatly from the market price at the time the order is submitted to the order book);
controls over the Electronic Services (to include (without limitation) any verification procedures to ensure that any particular order or orders has come from you); and/or
any other limits, parameters or controls which we may be required to implement in accordance with Applicable Regulations.
Trade Adjustments
Customers must be aware that Forex transactions carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin may be small relative to the value of the foreign currency so that transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’ A relatively small market movement may have a proportionately larger impact on the funds that the Customer has deposited or will have to deposit. This may work against as well as for the customer.
jmedia111.com exclusively reserves the right to widen its variable spreads, adjust leverage, change its rollover rates, change the historic closing rate of positions for up to 3 years after the position is closed based on the actual market rate should differences be discovered 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 cases when due to factors out of house-investments.com’s control and despite our best efforts to avoid such situation, the platform records off-market rates, we reserve the right to adjust closing rates in accordance with actual market rates based on the guidelines outlined below.
With regards to market rates adjustments,jmedia111.com reserves the right to adjust the rate accordingly based on actual market rates as follows: on put/sell positions the highest market rate recorded at that time and on call/buy positions the lowest market rate recorded at the specified closing time.
In such circumstances, the Customer agrees to indemnify house-investments.com for any and all losses that may occur because of the situations outlined above. Any adjustments in such cases will be made from invested capital and not from any bonuses or awards should the trading account have any. In the event that an adjustment is to be made because of differences in historical closing rates and actual market rates any profits won by using any trading bonus or award will also be considered bonus funds and as such any losses will be deducted from actual invested capital.
Execution of orders
We shall use our reasonable endeavours to execute any order promptly, but in accepting your 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.
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 online Account on our website in the Open Positions window and Deal Blotter in the dealing console, which is updated online as each Transaction is executed.

Liquidation Date
Subject to the following sub-clause, at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, we may, by notice to you, specify a date (the “Liquidation Date”) for the termination and liquidation of Transactions in accordance with this clause.
Automatic termination
The date of the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Default shall automatically constitute a Liquidation Date, without the need for any notice by us and the provisions of the following sub-clause shall then apply.
Calculation of Liquidation Amount
Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Date:
neither of us shall be obliged to make any further payments or deliveries under any Transactions which would, but for this clause, have fallen due for performance on or after the Liquidation Date and such obligations shall be satisfied by settlement (whether by payment, set-off or otherwise) of the Liquidation Amount (as defined below);
we shall (on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Liquidation Date) determine (discounting if appropriate), in respect of each Transaction the total cost, loss or, as the case may be, gain, in each case expressed in the Base Currency specified by us in writing or, failing any such specification, the lawful currency of the United States (and, if appropriate, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, without duplication, cost, loss or, as the case may be, gain as a result of the termination, liquidation, obtaining, performing or re-establishing of any hedge or related trading position) as a result of the termination, pursuant to this Agreement, of each payment or delivery which would otherwise have been required to be made under such Transaction (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent and having due regard, if appropriate, to such market quotations published on, or official settlement prices set by the relevant exchange as may be available on, or immediately preceding, the date of calculation); and
we shall treat each cost or loss to us, determined as above, as a positive amount and each gain by us, so determined, as a negative amount and aggregate all of such amounts to produce a single, net positive or negative amount, denominated in the Base Currency (the “ Liquidation Amount”).
Payer
If the Liquidation Amount determined pursuant to this clause is a positive amount, you shall pay it to us and if it is a negative amount, we shall pay it to you. We shall notify you of the Liquidation Amount, and by whom it is payable, immediately after the calculation of such amount.
Other transactions
Where termination and liquidation occurs in accordance with this clause, we shall also be entitled, at our discretion, to terminate and liquidate, in accordance with the provisions of this clause, any other transactions entered into between us which are then outstanding.
Payment
The Liquidation Amount shall be paid in the Base Currency by the close of business on the Business Day following the completion of the termination and liquidation under this clause (converted as required by applicable law into any other currency, any costs of such conversion to be borne by you, and (if applicable) deducted from any payment to you). Any Liquidation Amount not paid on the due date shall be treated as an unpaid such amount and bear interest, at the average rate at which overnight deposits in the currency of such payment are offered by major banks in the London interbank market as of 11.00 am (London time) (or, if no such rate is available, at such reasonable rate as we may select) plus one (1%) per annum for each day for which such amount remains unpaid.
Base Currency

Risk Disclosure
The risk of loss arising from Foreign Exchange Contracts and over-the-counter Contracts For Differences can be substantial. You should carefully consider whether such investments are suitable for you in the light of your circumstances and financial resources.
If the market moves against your position, you may, in a relatively short time, sustain a total loss of the funds placed by way of margin or deposit. You may be required to deposit a substantial additional sum, at short notice, to maintain your margin balances. If you do not maintain your margin balances your position may be closed out at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit. All positions carry margin requirements between 2% and 5.
Under certain market conditions it may be difficult or impossible to close out a position. This may occur, for example, where trading is suspended or restricted at times of rapid price movement.
Where permitted, placing a stop-loss order will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, for market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders at the stipulated price.
The nature of margin trading markets means that both profits and losses can be magnified. Customer 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. Customer understands that because of the low margin normally required in OTC trading, price changes in OTC may result in significant losses. The high degree of leverage that is obtainable in the trading of CFDs transactions can work against you as well as for you. Leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
Foreign Exchange Contracts and over-the-counter Contracts For Differences can be highly volatile and investments in them carry a substantial risk of loss. The high degree of “gearing” or “leverage” which is often obtainable in trading these contracts stems from the payment of what is a comparatively modest deposit or margin when compared with the overall contract value. As a result, a relatively small market movement can, in addition to achieving substantial gains, where the market moves in your favour, result in substantial losses which may exceed your original investment where there is an equally small movement against you.
This brief statement cannot disclose all risks of investments in Foreign Exchange Contracts and Contracts For Differences. They are not suitable for many members of the public and you should carefully study such investments before you commit funds to them.
Investing in FX Contracts and CFDs with an underlying asset listed in a currency other than your base currency entails a currency risk, due to the fact that when the CFD or FX Contract is settled in a currency other than your base currency, the value of your return may be affected by its conversion into the base currency.
