The following terms and conditions form an integral part of your agreement with BitMAM Capital and shall be read carefully;
BitMAM Capital does not bear any liability for clients who fail to comply with these Terms and Condition of trading.
For legal issues, contact us info@bit-mam.com.

Spread
BitMAM Capital Broker offers clients competitive spreads on all instruments, but may rarely make small increases on some or all instruments; ensuring that it provides the best available market conditions and tightest spreads, since one of our most important objectives is to ensure that your orders are executed at the best market price and that you get the tightest spreads available.

Hedging
BitMAM Capital allows clients to open positions in the opposite direction of previously opened positions in the trading account, to reduce loss and to decide later when to enter the market. Hedging an instrument by its corresponding Future OTC contract is forbidden (for swap-free accounts), because this represents an attempt to take advantage of the swap free facility and gain profits from swaps, one direction of this kind of hedge must be closed immediately. If the client fails to take action to avoid such practices, BitMAM Capital will, unfortunately, be required to close or take other action (by deducting the swaps retroactively or any other means) on these accounts without further notice. Hedged positions will be held in the trading account without affecting the required margin value, since the required margin is calculated for each instrument according to the net positions opened at a specific moment.

Order Types
following orders may be given by the client:

  • OPEN - to open a new position
  • CLOSE - to close an open position
  • PARTIAL CLOSE - to close a part of an open position at the current market price and keep the remaining lots (part) floating.

Leverage
Shall mean a ratio in respect of Transaction Size and Initial Margin, 1:100 ratio means that in order to open a position, the Initial Margin required is one percent of the original contract value. The 1 (one) standard lot size is the measurement unit specified for each CFD contract. The possible choice of a leverage rate ranges from 1:1 up to 1:500 depending on the type of the CFD, the amount of trading volume active in the account and at the Company's discretion. At the opening of the Client Account, the leverage rate is set at 1:30 by default. The Client may change the leverage of his Client Account by contacting the Company. The Company has the right to allow a change to the Client Account leverage at the Company's discretion. In addition, the Company may, at its discretion, change the Client Account Leverage without any prior notice to the Client. Regardless of your account type or the amount of equity you have in your account, the leverage you will be allocated to trade with will be determined by the amount of trading volume you have in active use at any given time. The default leverage on all accounts is 1:30 based on CySEC regulation. Higher leverage will be available only upon client's request and will be executed at our sole discretion. Professional accounts will be handled individually and may not follow the above leverage rules. Utilizing a high level of leverage may extend your trading possibilities and lead to larger gains as well as higher risks; risks might be reduced by following a strict trading strategy at the opening and closure of your transactions.
