Deposit and Account Information:
- Liquidation level: FX SWAY LLC reserves the right to automatically liquidate the position and the Customer will be responsible for all losses as a result of the liquidation. FX SWAY LLC reserves the right to change the Liquidation Level at its sole discretion.
- Prices from FX SWAY LLC are independent of prices found elsewhere. Customers acknowledge that the prices reported by FX SWAY LLC for buying and selling are independent and can differ from the prices displayed elsewhere or from other liquidity providers in the interbank changes in liquidity from interbank to FX SWAY LLC, an unbalanced position or exposure at FX SWAY LLC, or differing expectations of price movements. FX SWAY LLC expects that in most cases the prices provided to its customers will be in line with the general interbank market but does not warrant or imply that this will always be the case.
- Rollover rates for open positions are determined by FX SWAY LLC and are independent of prices found elsewhere in the Interbank market. The Customer acknowledges that when applicable, all existing open positions that remain open over the end of the business day for FX SWAY LLC, defined as 5:00 PM EST/EDT, are automatically rolled over to the next available Spot Settlement Date at a net debit or credit to the Customer(s) Account as determined by spot interest rates determined solely by FX SWAY LLC. Rollover debits and credits are also influenced by the number of days that the position must be rolled. For positions that need to be rolled from a spot settlement date from Friday to Monday, the debit or credit will reflect rollover from Friday to Monday or three business days. For rollovers from Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday to Wednesday, Wednesday to Thursday, and Thursday to Friday, the rollover debit or credit is for only one business day. If there is a holiday and FX SWAY LLC is closed, the rollover would take into consideration the holiday. For example, if Tuesday is a holiday, rollovers from Monday will be for two (2) business days (i.e. from Monday to Wednesday). Since rollover debits and credits are determined by the respective short-term spot interest, a large spread can cause a large debt or credit rollover amount. This spread can result but is not limited to, countries tightening of credit conditions in order to dissuade speculators from shorting one trading product versus another. FX SWAY LLC reserves the right to change the credits or debits at its sole discretion if the original amounts are wrong due to an error or omission.

The Customer further acknowledges that they could sustain the loss of their entire Risk Capital deposited in their Account and are financially able to withstand any losses incurred.
- There is no guarantee that FX SWAY LLC will be able to execute stop-loss orders, limit orders, or OCO Orders at the Customer Entered Price. Customer acknowledges and agrees that there may be a market, liquidity, or other conditions that will prevent FX SWAY LLC from executing customer-specific stop-loss orders, limit orders, or OCO orders at the Customer’s designated price. In some cases, the orders will be executed at prices that are less favorable to the price entered and desired by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that they are still responsible for trades executed at levels different from their orders and that FX SWAY LLC is not liable for failure to do so.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
FX SWAY LLC does not tolerate money laundering and supports the fight against money launderers. FX SWAY LLC follows the guidelines set by the UK’s Joint Money Laundering Steering Group. The UK is a full member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the intergovernmental body whose purpose is to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. FX SWAY LLC now has policies in place to deter people from laundering money. These policies include:
- Ensuring clients have a valid proof of identification.
- Maintaining records of identification information.
- Determining that clients are not known or suspected terrorists by checking their names against lists of known or suspected terrorists.
- Informing clients that the information they provide may be used to verify their identity.
- Closely following clients’ money transactions.
- Not accepting cash, money orders, third-party transactions, exchange houses transfers or Western Union transfers.
Money laundering occurs when funds from an illegal/criminal activity are moved through the financial system in such a way as to make it appear that the funds have come from legitimate sources.
Money laundering usually follows three stages:
- Firstly, cash or cash equivalents are placed into the financial system.
- Secondly, money is transferred or moved to other accounts (e.g. futures accounts) through a series of financial transactions designed to obscure the origin of the money (e.g. executing trades with little or no financial risk or transferring account balances to other accounts).
- Finally, the funds are re-introduced into the economy so that the funds appear to have come from legitimate sources (e.g. closing a futures account and transferring the funds to a bank account).
Trading accounts are one vehicle that can be used to launder illicit funds or to hide the true owner of the funds. Specifically, a trading account can be used to execute financial transactions that help obscure the origins of the funds.
FX SWAY LLC directs funds withdrawals back to the original source of remittance, as a preventative measure. International Anti-Money Laundering requires financial services institutions to be aware of potential money laundering abuses that could occur in a customer account and implement a compliance program to deter, detect, and report potentially suspicious activity.
These guidelines have been implemented to protect FX SWAY LLC and its clients.
For questions/comments regarding these guidelines, please contact us at [email protected].
