    1.3 The Company operates on an execution-only basis and does not provide investment advice or portfolio management.

    Each order type is executed according to market conditions at the time of execution.

  4. Primary Execution Factors

    When executing client orders, we consider the following factors:

    4.1 Price

    The most significant factor. Prices are derived from liquidity providers and reflect the best available bid/ask at the moment of execution.

    4.2 Costs

    Includes spreads, commissions (if applicable), and swap/rollover fees.

    4.3 Speed of Execution

    Execution speed depends on server load, internet connectivity, and market volatility.

    4.4 Likelihood of Execution

    Depending on liquidity conditions, some orders may experience delays, rejections, or partial fills (where allowed).

    4.5 Order Size

    Large order volumes may affect execution speed or availability of liquidity.

    4.6 Market Conditions

    High volatility, low liquidity, or news events may affect spreads and execution quality.

  5. Pricing

    5.1 All instruments are quoted on the platform with real-time bid/ask pricing.

    5.2 Prices reflect conditions of the underlying market and may change rapidly.

    5.3 Spreads may:

    • Widen during volatile periods
    • Increase during low liquidity hours
    • Expand around news announcements

    5.4 The Company may reject orders if pricing is unavailable or disrupted.

  6. Slippage

    6.1 Slippage occurs when an order executes at a price different from the one requested.

    6.2 Slippage may be positive (better price) or negative (worse price).

    6.3 It commonly occurs during:

    • Volatile market conditions
    • Economic news releases
    • Low liquidity periods
    • Market gaps

    6.4 The Company does not guarantee execution at the requested price.

  7. Requotes

    7.1 A requote occurs when the market changes during order submission.

    7.2 In such cases, the platform will provide the new price for acceptance.

    7.3 Requotes occur mainly in periods of high volatility.

  8. Order Rejection

    Orders may be rejected due to:

    • Insufficient margin
    • Invalid pricing
    • Market closure
    • Technical or server issues
    • Compliance or AML concerns
    • Abnormal trading patterns

    The Company is not obliged to provide detailed reasoning for every rejection.

  9. Stop Loss & Take Profit Execution

    9.1 Stop Loss Orders are not guaranteed and may not execute at the exact requested price.

    9.2 Take Profit Orders execute at the requested level where liquidity allows.

    9.3 In fast-moving markets, orders may execute at the next available price.

  10. Market Gapping

    10.1 Gaps occur when prices jump significantly due to:

    • Weekend openings
    • Major news announcements
    • Low liquidity periods

    10.2 Gap execution may result in orders being filled at significantly worse or better prices than requested.

  11. Trading Platform Execution

    11.1 Orders are executed electronically on RIYADEX trading platforms.

    11.2 Execution may be impacted by:

    • Internet connectivity
    • Latency between client terminal and servers
    • Hardware performance
    • Platform stability

    11.3 The Company is not responsible for losses resulting from client-side technical issues.

  12. Automated Trading Systems (EAs)

    12.1 Clients may use EAs or automated trading tools unless they:

    • Manipulate prices
    • Exploit latency
    • Generate toxic flow
    • Place excessive requests that impact servers

    12.2 The Company may restrict or block abusive automated strategies.

  13. Abusive or Manipulative Trading

    Prohibited behaviors include:

    • Latency arbitrage
    • Tick scalping to exploit feed delays
    • Coordinated trading between multiple accounts
    • Abuse of bonuses (if applicable)
    • Hedging between brokers to exploit pricing differences

    The Company may take corrective actions including cancellation of trades.

  14. Best Execution Commitment

    RIYADEX will take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for clients, considering the execution factors and available market conditions.

    However, best execution is not a guarantee of receiving the most favorable price.
