Close trades faster than Morfin FX's minimum holding time and it calls the profit scalping. If scalping makes up more than 10% of the profit in your account, the firm can reject your entire profit withdrawal. The minimum is three minutes on metals and currency pairs, five minutes on everything else.
Why this matters
One quick trade can disqualify the profit from every slow one. Morfin FX decides what counts, and the policy it says it will act under next is not on its website.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.10%The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
Scalping and High-Frequency Trading (HFT) are permitted only under the Company’s defined conditions whereby the minimum trade duration must be three (3) minutes for metals and currency pairs and five (5) minutes for cryptocurrencies and all other asset classes; however, if profits generated through scalping exceed ten percent (10%) of the total profits earned in the account, the Company reserves the right to reject the entire profit withdrawal request and proceed with further actions on the account in accordance with Policy No. 35
What it costsThe same clause worked out on a round number, so you can see it in money or in days. It is an example, not a quotation.On $10,000 of total account profit, $1,001 earned from short trades is over 10%. That is enough for Morfin FX to reject the whole $10,000 profit withdrawal.
Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must hold retail client money so it can be returned on request, and must set out any condition on a payout before the client trades. This clause makes the payout depend on a test applied afterwards.
Morfin FX is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.A minimum holding time is common. Tying the whole profit payout to a percentage test on how the profit was earned is not, because trades that broke no rule are refused along with the ones that did.
- Worse together with Exhibit 6Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.A payout that needs no reason to be refused, plus a test that disqualifies a whole profit withdrawal, means the money moves only when Morfin FX agrees twice.
