Terms and Conditions
RISK WARNING:
Trading leveraged derivative products such as Foreign Exchange (Forex), Contracts for Difference (CFDs), or other financial derivative products carry a high level of risk to your capital. All these products, which are leveraged derivative products, may not be appropriate for all investors. The effect of leverage is that both gains and losses are magnified. The prices of leveraged derivative products may change to your disadvantage very quickly, you can lose more than your invested capital, and you may be required to make further payments. Before deciding to invest in any financial product, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, trading knowledge and experience, and affordability. You should only trade in Forex and CFDs if you have sufficient knowledge and experience of the risky nature of the products, the risks involved in trading such products, and if you are dealing with money that you can afford to lose. You should seek independent professional financial advice if you are in any doubt.

7. CORPORATE ACTIONS
a) If a Corporate Action occurs, GTMX will reasonably determine what adjustment, if any, should be made to an Order to account for the dilutive or concentrative effect of any such event to preserve the economic equivalent of such Orders prior to the relevant event or to reflect the effect of such event on such Orders. Any such adjustments will be effective as of a date reasonably determined by us.
b) GTMX will not make dividend payments if:
i. a Client is the Long Party for a Share CFD which goes ex-dividend, GTMX will credit the Client’s account with a cash adjustment to reflect the impact of the dividend on the Orders. The amount of the adjustment will depend on the amount of the gross dividend on the relevant number of Share CFDs on the ex-dividend date.
ii. a Client is the Short Party for a Share CFD which goes ex-dividend, GTMX will debit the declared cash dividend from the Client’s account. The amount of the adjustment will depend on the amount equal to the gross dividend on the relevant number of Share CFDs on the-dividend date.

Any such adjustments will be effective as of a date reasonably determined by us.
e) If GTMX determines that no adjustment can be made under this clause 7(e) which would produce a commercially reasonable result, GTMX may close your Open Position at the Close-Out Value on a date reasonably determined by us.
f) Where the Client is the Long Party for a Share CFD in relation to a US stock or security, and the Share CFD goes ex-dividend, GTMX is required by US tax legislation to withhold 30% of the cash adjustment to reflect the impact of the declared dividend.

Clients can view amounts withheld for US tax legislation purposes from their account.

a) If, at any time:
i. trading in any Underlying Asset on any exchange is suspended or halted; or

When this happens, GTMX will decide the Close-Out date and the Close-Out value of your Contract in good faith (the Close-Out value will be the Underlying Asset price x the number of Contracts).

GTMX will determine the Close-Out Values for each affected Order in its sole discretion.

11. NEGATIVE BALANCE PROTECTION
The trading systems of GTMX are designed with safeguards to protect clients from encountering negative balances when trading under normal market conditions.
All clients are provided with margin monitoring functionality. This functionality monitors the level of collateral should it drop below 100% of the required margin. If it drops below 100%, the margin call mode will be triggered and maintained until the level of 50%. Should the margin level equal to, or drop below 50%, GTMX will initiate the closing of current open positions, starting from the most unprofitable considering trading hours of instruments traded by the client. Positions will be closed automatically at the current market price. The clients can set personal limits for risk management purposes. Should a client incur a negative balance due to a “market gap”, the client should inform the GTMX support team. GTMX will evaluate the inquiry and at its discretion, may credit the client’s account with the amount of the negative balance where the debit was during normal trading activity. This policy is available to Private Clients1 only.
Clients are expected to always maintain the appropriate levels of margin in the trading account as the recommended method of risk management.
NOTE: The provisions of this policy shall not apply to:
a) Force Majeure Event understood as an act of God, war, terrorism, malicious damage, civil commotion, industrial acts, any exceptional market events, or acts and regulations of any governmental or supranational bodies or authorities which in the company’s opinion prevent an orderly market in relation to Client’s orders;
b) in abnormal market conditions or exceptional market movements/volatility.
where the company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the negative balance is unrelated to the client’s trading activity (for example, where the debit relates to any fee or charges of the company);
c) where the negative balance is connected to or a result of, either direct or indirect, breach of any provision by the client of the Client Agreement of the company or from the breach of the market rules, including but not limited to the laws of the client’s country of origin, client’s country of residence or any country.
Negative balance accounts – GTMX is entitled to combine the balances of any other accounts you hold with us, including any Joint Accounts to affect any set-off of amounts owing between you and GTMX , pursuant to our terms and conditions or otherwise, in each case in order to reduce or remove the relevant negative balance before effecting the negative balance protection provisions set out in this clause.

BONUS Policy
GTMX offers a number of attractive reward features to its new and regular customers. Bonuses and one-time trading credits awarded to Clients are part of the Company’s promotions program.
It is clarified and emphasized that the decision whether to grant a trading benefit to a certain client is at the Company’s sole and exclusive discretion.
The trading benefit policy hereinafter is subject to the main “Terms and Conditions” as they are from time to time updated and can be found on the Company’s website
There are three types of Bonuses as mentioned below:
- Non-losable Bonuses: Non-Losable bonuses are promotional funds provided by the broker that can be used tradable to boost some extra margin but may be subject to certain conditions and restrictions. Clients can receive these bonuses for every deposit made.
- Losable Bonuses: Losable bonuses are promotional funds provided by the broker that can be used tradable to boost some extra margin and equity but may be subject to certain conditions and restrictions.
The key features of non-losable bonus and losable bonuses are:
- Usage Restrictions: non-losable bonus and losable bonuses are often restricted in terms of their usability. Traders may be allowed to use these bonuses for trading purposes but cannot withdraw them directly. Instead, profits generated from trading with non-losable bonus and losable bonuses can usually be withdrawn subject to meeting specific requirements mentioned in this document.
- Trading Volume Requirements: Brokers may require traders to achieve a certain trading volume or turnover before they can withdraw profits made with losable bonuses. This requirement ensures that clients actively engage in trading activities and use the bonus as intended. Please see T&C below
- Time Limitations: non-losable bonus and losable bonuses may have an expiration date or time limit within which traders must meet the trading volume requirements to be eligible for profit withdrawals. If the requirements are not met within the specified time frame, the bonus and any associated profits may be forfeited.
- At the same time, Clients can only have 1 type of bonus: Non-losable Bonus or Losable Bonus.
- Extra balance Bonus: Extra balance Bonus also known as redeemable or cashable bonuses, are promotional funds that are provided directly to the balance of Clients by the broker and can be withdrawn by the trader under certain conditions. The main characteristics of Extra-balance bonuses are:
- Withdrawal Eligibility: Extra-balance bonuses are typically available for withdrawal once specific criteria are met. These criteria may include achieving a certain trading volume or fulfilling other conditions outlined in the bonus policy.
- Conditions for Withdrawal: Traders must fulfill the stated requirements, such as meeting the trading volume targets or holding the bonus funds for a specified period, to be eligible for the withdrawal of the bonus and any associated profits. Please see articles below for conditions
- Transparency: The terms and conditions for non-losable bonuses are usually more straightforward and transparent compared to losable bonuses. Traders have a clearer understanding of the bonus terms and the steps required to fulfill withdrawal conditions.

Copy Trading
The terms that will apply when using the copy trading platform. The provisions in this Chapter apply in addition to all the Chapters referred to in this Agreement which apply to all of our services.
Copy Trading Platform
- Our copy trading platform provides the ability to interact, follow and copy other traders and/or strategies as well as “copy trading features”. Copy trading features include account information, trading histories, risk profiles, and other information in relation to Managers and/or strategies.
- Copy trading allows traders (the “Investor”) to copy trades from other traders (the “Manager”). By accepting to follow a strategy, the Investor authorizes us to automatically recreate all the trades placed in the Manager’s account into the Investor Account without any prior consultation, consent or approval.
Investor
- The Investor, by following a strategy of a Manager, hereby agrees to the following:
a) To authorize and instruct the Manager to act on his/her behalf as he/she deems appropriate and in accordance with the specific strategy;
b) To authorize the Company to perform all the necessary actions on the Investor’s behalf in order to facilitate the subscription to a strategy. These include, but are not limited to, executing, on the behalf of the Investor and as triggered by the Manager’s actions, the opening of past and new positions as well as pausing the opening of any new positions, closing all open positions, and exiting the subscription all together. The Company shall have all systems necessary in place to facilitate all of the aforementioned actions and will act in good faith. However, the Investor agrees to not hold the Company responsible for any financial losses that might be directly or indirectly related to the performance of any such systems. Such cases include, but are not limited to, network connection disruptions, data center outages, server instances malf unctions and third party software bugs. Please refer to Sections 17, 19 and 20 of this Agreement f or more information;
c) Any strategy selected to be followed by the Investor will be followed in proportion to the Investment Amount the Investor chooses to allocate. Such proportion is calculated by taking into consideration the Manager’s equity and leverage and adjusting them to the Investment amount and leverage of the Investor. Subsequent balance operations or leverage changes on the Manager’s behalf which affect the proportion will be automatically reflected and a new proportion ratio will be applied such as to maintain the initial allocation proportion.
d) To authorize and instruct the Company to transfer the Manager’s commission from the Investor Account to the account allocated by the Manager for this purpose at the closing of each trade by the Manager.
The Investor acknowledges and accepts that by following a strategy of a Manager he/she accepts the commission set and the leverage used by the respective Manager, taking into consideration that the Company has set a maximum leverage ratio for the Investor account which can be changed by the Company from time to time. Please refer to our website for the leverage ratio applicable to an Investor Account.
The Investor understands that bef ore copying a strategy of a Manager, he/she will need to allocate an amount equal or greater than the minimum investment amount set by the Manager. Such amount will be used to determine the volume ratio with which the Investor will open trades in respect to the Manager’s positions. Thereafter, the Company will proceed to activate such subscription and automatically execute, for the duration of the subscription, all necessary orders without consulting or obtaining approval or confirmation from the Investor. In cases where the volume ratio applied equates to trade volume below the minimum threshold allowed, no such trade will be executed. In cases where the Investor maintains an open subscription to a strategy and the investor account equity amounts to less than USD 1 and there are no open positions, such subscriptions will undergo automatic termination.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that variations in the pricing may occur from the moment that the Investor selects to copy a specific strategy to the actual moment that the Investor starts copying such a strategy.
The Investor acknowledges and accepts that if he/she selects to copy the Manager’s open trades, the Company will open the position at the best available price at the time of copying and not the price at the time which the trade being copied was originally opened. If the relevant markets are closed at the time of copying, we will open a market order for you and once the market reopens, your order will be executed at the first available price.
Where the Investor is copying only new trades:
a) The Company will endeavor to open such positions as soon as possible after the time as the trades being copied and the prices the Investor will receive will be the prevailing market prices and can differ from those of the Manager due to a number of reasons such as timing and account type spreads.; and
b) All instructions and actions related to the copied trade will automatically be replicated in the Investor Account, including stop losses, take profits and the closing of trades.
The Company reserves the right at its absolute discretion to close any or all open position(s) of a Manager at any time and the Investor’s Account shall be also closed accordingly. In case the Manager account is deleted, all Investor positions will be closed and relevant subscriptions will be exited automatically.
The Investor irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that any description provided by the Manager in relation to the strategy, including the performance fee, the minimum investment amount, the strategy type and/or any other features, has not been approved by the Company. Furthermore, the Investor acknowledges that a Manager has full discretion in the portfolio selection which might, at times, be not according to what is described at the strategy. The Investor further acknowledges, agrees and undertakes to perform his/her own due diligence on the Manager and the strategy before investing with the relevant Investor Account.
The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be and is not liable for any losses incurred in the Investor Account. The Investor further understands that such losses may exceed the Investment Amount he chose to allocate on the strategy and even higher than the losses suffered by the Manager.

Key risks of copy trading
By subscribing to a strategy, the Investor should consider his/her financial situation, including financial commitments. Copy trading is highly speculative, and losses can exceed the amount used to copy a strategy as a result of, including but not limited to the following:
a) Copied trades in amounts lower than the minimum trade volume threshold will not be opened;
b) Copy trading involves automated trading execution whereby trades are opened and closed in the Investor Account without the Investor’s manual consent or approval; and
c) Changes made by the Manager in relation to the Manager’s account, which affect the trading features of such account including but not limited account type, leverage and equity, might generate a materially different result for the Investor subscribing to the Manager. This can be due to a multitude of factors such as spreads, swaps, allocation ratios, price level timing and minimum volume threshold rejections.
