QuickTrade's funding page tells you client funds sit in segregated accounts. Clause 25.6 says that once your margin is applied to a trade, it is paid to QuickTrade.World's own bank account and becomes the company's own assets.
Why this matters
The money backing your open positions is no longer held for you. Clause 25.6 says it carries no statutory protection, so if the company fails you are an ordinary creditor for that part of your balance.
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.
Therefore once the Margin payments are made, such payments become the assets of QuickTrade.World. Such Margin payments will not be subject to the protections conferred by any applicable legislation .
Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must keep retail client money segregated from the firm's own funds and cannot treat it as their own. This contract says applied margin becomes QuickTrade.World's assets and carries no statutory protection.
QuickTrade 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.Most client money clauses keep margin in a segregated account until a trade settles. Writing into the contract that transferred margin becomes the firm's own assets, and then that it loses legal protection, is unusual to see stated.
- Worse together with Exhibit 2Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The balance that keeps its protection is also the balance QuickTrade.World can refuse to pay while a position is open.
