Sign Account Papers

Once you’ve decided on the agent who meets your needs, you would open a trading account. Opening an account can involve several steps. After you’ve met the financial requirements set by the particular agent, you must sign a risk disclosure statement. You cannot open an account until you’ve read and signed this document, indicating that you understand the risks involved in trading. Other documents that you may need to sign a statement that binds you to pay for any losses incurred in the course of trading and a account agreement outlining how the account is to be handled.

You can download the required documents from the individual agent’s website or an account executive can help you deal with the necessary documentation. As per the new anti money laundering law you have to submit a copy of your ID and a passport in order that your identity and signatures are properly verifiable.

Corporate clients are required to designate an authorised signatory to sign all relevant documents and are required to furnish the following documents additionally:

Articles of incorporation.

Certificate of good standing.

Copy of minutes authorising the opening of the account.

Audited statements of accounts.

Risk Disclosure

In trading foreign exchange the rate of loss and gains are substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your financial condition. Export and import prices as well as interest rates, currency exchange rates and prices of securities create financial risks. The main market risks against which we offer active management solutions include foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks and raw materials price risks.

We offer our customers simple solutions to carry out daily currency operations in order to hedge the foreign exchange risk. Interest rate risk can be managed either by planning cash flows within the company or through financial instruments. The aim of risk management is either to hedge market risks or increase profitability in line with the operations and risk profile of the company. Our specialists share their views of trends and developments in the markets with the clients and counsel them about designing appropriate risk management strategies.

Deposit Money Margin

Before you open an account to trade, you must deposit cash or certain securities with the principal broker. The principal broker establishes minimum initial and maintenance margins for all products traded in an exchange but over and above the exchange requirements. It is safe to assume a initial margin deposit of at least $10,000.
