OVER-THE-COUNTER TRADING

Customer understands that Over-the-counter (“OTC”) products in currencies are not traded on exchanges as there is no central clearing mechanism to guarantee OTC trades. CMS Prime may apply its own risk analysis in deciding whether to participate in a particular market where its credit must stand behind each trade. Depending on the policies adopted by CMS Prime as counter-party, the company may decline to execute an order placed by a customer. CMS Prime will rely on their own knowledge of market prices in agreeing to an execution price. The execution price obtained for a customer to a large extent will reflect the true market price of a particular currency. While the OTC market as a whole is highly liquid, certain currencies, are less frequently traded and for this reason, CMS Prime may take longer to fill an order or may obtain an execution price that differs widely from the market.
