Market Maker or STP Brokerage?
The Best Interest and Order Execution Policy document shows that Leverate Financial Services provides execution of orders on behalf of the clients as well as reception and transmission of orders. The company may execute orders dealing on its own account or as a matched principal. When dealing on its own account, the company is the counterparty to client orders, keeping the entire risk for itself. When it acts as a matched principal, the company puts itself between the buyer and the seller. Here it is the main execution venue, the principal, and the sole counterparty to its clients’ orders, but it transfers the risk hedging some or all its exposure in certain assets with its liquidity providers. When orders are transmitted for execution using the Straight Through Processing (STP) model, there is no major conflict of interest. When the company acts as principal and is the sole execution venue for the execution of its clients’ orders, it acts as a market maker, keeping the entire risk to itself and the conflict of interest exists. Any loss to customers is a gain for the company.
The same document informs about slippage. Slippage occurs when at the time that an order is presented for execution, the specific price shown on the client’s terminal may not be available. Then, the order will be executed close to or several pips away from the requested price. The company mentions that slippage is a normal phenomenon during the period of low liquidity or high volatility.
Leverate Financial Services explains that once the market reaches the stop loss price, the order is triggered and treated as a market order. This means that stop loss orders are also subject to slippage and will be filled at the next available market price; Therefore, stop loss orders are not guaranteed.
The Terms and Conditions file informs that all retail clients are covered by the Negative Balance Protection. This means that you may not lose more than the amount deposited in your account. If a position is closed at such a price causing your equality to fall below zero, the company shall waive its right to receive the balance from you.
Fees
The usual fees include spreads, commissions and swaps but there also are some additional fees. If the client did not trade or conducted any trade during three calendar months, then the account status will become “inactive”. The company will charge a fixed monthly payment of EUR50 as “Inactivity Fee”. The payment will be conducted at the end of each calendar month until the client’s trading account remains inactive. For inactive accounts with available balance less than EUR50, the company will charge you a lower amount for inactivity fee.
In case of a chargeback request, the company will impose a charge of EUR200 if the chargeback case is in favor of the company. In addition, if the company receives several chargeback requests from the same client, the company will impose a fee of EUR200 for each claim.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Deposits can be made by bank transfer, credit/debit cards, and alternative payment methods such as Neteller, Skrill and UnionPay. The minimum deposit/withdrawal amount depends on the account type and is EUR250 for the Standard account.
All deposits are instant, except for the bank transfers. Standard bank wire within the EU takes 3 working days. Bank wires to some countries may take up to 5 working days. If the deposit currency is other than the base currency in the trading account, it will be converted at prevailing interbank prices.
Withdrawals must be made by the same payment method with which the customer’s trading account is credited. They are processed within one business day and in the currency of the deposit. The minimum withdrawal amount is EUR5 and varies according to the payment method.
The deposits and withdrawals section on the website claims that the company does not charge any fees for client deposits and withdrawals.
