If SuperFin believes you manipulated its prices or its platform, clause 10.7 keeps the trades where you owe money and treats the trades where it owes you as void from the outset. The clause defines manipulation to include using excessive leverage, trading from the same connection as another user, your deposit and withdrawal patterns, and talking to other account holders.
Why this matters
Every one of those triggers describes ordinary trading. Your profit goes, your losses stay, and you then have 30 days to produce conclusive evidence that you did nothing wrong.
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.30 daysThe figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
If we believe that you have manipulated our prices, our execution processes or our Trading Platform, we may in our sole and absolute discretion, without notice to you: a) enforce the trade(s) against you if it is a trade(s) which results in you owing money to us;
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Most CFD agreements let a firm cancel trades it can show were abusive. This one splits the result by who owes whom: trades that cost you money are enforced, trades that pay you are void. It also reverses the burden of proof, so you must disprove the accusation rather than SuperFin prove it.
- Worse together with Exhibit 6Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.Clause 23.6(c) makes you pay SuperFin's legal costs for acting under clause 10.7, so challenging it costs you the firm's lawyers as well as your own.
- Worse together with Exhibit 18Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The clause sits in a 220 MB picture file, so nobody finds it by searching for the word manipulation.
