Trading Terms

These Trading Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") constitute a legally binding contract between Ark Stone Trading ("we," "us," or "our") and you ("Client," "you," or "your"). By opening an account, accessing our trading platforms, or utilizing any of our financial services, you agree to be bound by the terms set forth in this document.

This Agreement governs all transactions executed through our platforms, including margin trading, copy trading, and asset management services. You must read these Terms carefully in conjunction with our Risk Disclosure Statement, Privacy Policy, and other related legal documents.

To use our services, you must be of legal age (at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. We reserve the absolute right to refuse any application for an account at our sole discretion.

You are entirely responsible for ensuring that your use of our services complies with local laws. We strictly do not provide services or platform onboarding to residents, citizens, or entities located within restricted jurisdictions, embargoed territories, or prohibited retail derivative markets. For detailed classifications regarding jurisdictional eligibility, statutory prohibitions, and conditional review territories, please consult our official Restricted Jurisdictions Policy. You must supply accurate and complete information during the Know Your Customer (KYC) onboarding process and keep this information updated at all times.

For self-directed trading, you choose and submit your trading instructions. Copy trading follows the selected copying arrangement; managed trading strategies require their own agreed mandate. These services have different controls and decision-making authority. Read the applicable service terms before participating.

While we strive to execute orders at the requested prices, market volatility, liquidity conditions, and latency may result in "slippage," where the execution price differs from your requested price. We are not liable for losses resulting from slippage or system delays beyond our reasonable control.

When trading on margin, you are required to maintain a minimum margin requirement as dictated by our platform parameters. Leverage availability is strictly subject to account eligibility, product availability, jurisdictional restrictions (as outlined in our Restricted Jurisdictions Policy), and prevailing margin requirements.

Leverage availability and margin requirements depend on the instrument, account and applicable restrictions. Check the current contract specifications in your account before placing a trade. Leverage magnifies losses as well as gains; do not assume a single leverage limit applies across all markets.

Margin and stop-out rules can result in positions being closed when account equity is insufficient. Market gaps, liquidity and execution prices can affect the outcome. Liquidation does not itself guarantee that losses will be limited to your deposit. Review the current margin rules and Risk Disclosure before trading.

Ark Stone’s current trading offering has 0% trading commission. This does not remove spreads, overnight financing or other applicable charges. Copy trading has a separate performance fee based on initial investment: USD 1,000–5,000 inclusive: 50%; above USD 5,000 to USD 10,000 inclusive: 30%; above USD 10,000: 20%. The tier remains fixed after later deposits or withdrawals. Fees apply to eligible closed-trade profits after prior losses are recovered. Open positions are excluded. Calculation takes place at 8:00 p.m. New York local time on the last calendar day of the month, regardless of weekday. The Finance Team deducts the copy-trading performance fee manually on the first working day of the following month, before CFD trading hours begin. Calculation and deduction are separate steps; the platform does not automatically deduct this fee.

Overnight financing charges may apply to positions held open past the daily market rollover time. By continuing to use the platform, you authorize us to deduct all relevant fees and charges directly from your account balance.

Deposits are received and held by Ark Stone, then deployed with a custodian for trading activities. An amount displayed against your account name does not by itself establish a segregated bank or custody account. Review the applicable account agreement for custody arrangements, access to funds and treatment if a provider or Ark Stone becomes insolvent.

We only process deposits and withdrawals from accounts matching the exact name registered on your trading account. Third-party payments are strictly prohibited and will be rejected. We are not responsible for any delays caused by intermediary banks or payment processors.

All intellectual property rights in the platform, software, data, algorithms, and website content remain the exclusive property of Ark Stone Trading or our third-party licensors. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our platforms strictly for your personal trading activities.

You may not copy, reverse engineer, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of our technology or content without prior written consent.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ark Stone Trading shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from your use or inability to use our services.

This includes, but is not limited to, losses arising from hardware failures, network interruptions, delayed executions, force majeure events, or third-party acts. Our total liability under this Agreement shall be limited to the fees paid by you to us in connection with the specific transaction giving rise to the claim.

Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice. Upon termination, all outstanding positions must be closed, and you remain liable for any obligations or deficits incurred prior to the termination date.

We reserve the right to immediately terminate or suspend your account without notice if we suspect fraud, market manipulation, breach of this Agreement, or if required to do so by a regulatory authority.

This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of St. Lucia.

Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of St. Lucia, except where mandated otherwise by mandatory consumer protection regulations applicable in your jurisdiction.
