Ethical Trading and Conduct Sample Clauses
Ethical Trading and Conduct. 6.1 Abusive Trading Techniques: Internet and connectivity delays, as well as price feed errors, can occasionally result in the prices displayed on our servers not accurately reflecting actual market rates. Trading strategies that exploit such errors, or conclude trades at off-market prices, or take advantage of internet delays—commonly referred to as "arbitrage," "sniping," or "scalping" (collectively referred to hereafter as "Arbitrage")—are not applicable in an OTC market where the client is trading directly with the principal.
