Inactive Account

In case of absence of any activity for a period of at least three (3) months, the Company reserves the right to apply a fee of US$ 500 thereafter, charged on a quarterly basis. If the Client account is funded by less than US$ 500 and has been inactive for a period of three (3) months, the Company reserves the right to charge a lower amount to cover administrative expenses and close down the account.

Credit-Out Rule

In case of absence of any trading activity for a period of at least forty five (45) days, the Company reserves the right to apply the credit-out rule and remove any trading credit that exists in the Client Account, provided that (i) no open positions and/or entry orders exist on the Client Account; (b) no positions were opened and/or closed within the last 45 days; and/or (c) no deposit transaction was made within the last 45 days.

It is noted that any Withdrawal and/or Inactivity commission does not count as an act of an active account.

Deposits

LotCapitals clients can open an account with only an initial deposit of $200 and start trading immediately. Accounts at LotCapitals are denominated in US Dollars, so all trading deposits are going to be converted into the base currency of the client’s trading account (US Dollars).

Margin Liquidation

The margin liquidation happens when a trader’s account equity has reached zero and as a result, all of his positions are closed automatically. In this way, LotCapitals aims to protect the client’s trading account from ever reaching a negative balance and thus being liable for an amount exceeding the client’s deposit.

Hedge Newest Position

1. 1. The Hedge Newest Position (“HNP”) is an exposure protection feature that is provided by the Platform. HNP may be activated and/or deactivated at any time by contacting the Company here.
2. 2. HNP applies only after all First Protected Positions are used.
3. 3. HNP opens a fully hedged position in the opposite direction in an equal amount to the last opened position when the account equity falls below the used margin required for each open position and will continue to apply until all open positions are hedged.
4. 4. HNP will be triggered as close to the used margin, except in circumstances where the market moves too fast.
5. 5. HNP will function within market hours and will not be triggered if:
   1. deactivated by a client;
   2. hedging the newest position will increase the exposure; and/or
   3. there is insufficient equity to cover the spread of the newly hedged position.
6. 6. Trading accounts can be used in parallel with HNP and margin can be topped up.
7. 7. Hedged positions may be transferred to the next trading date and are subject to the applicable rollover and/or any other fees.
8. 8. HNP is compatible with any other trading benefits and offers available from time to time by the Company.
