b) Spot Metalsc) Contract For Differences (“CFD”)
The full list of CFDs instruments offered, please be referred to the MT4 Product Outline (Click here)

CONTRACT FOR DIFFERENCE (“CFD”)
CFDs, an over-the-counter (OTC) products which can be traded with the Company, as the counterparty, to alltransactions undertaken. The price of CFDs is based on the price of the underlying instrument and is nottraded on an exchange. Price offered by the Company is displayed as the “bid”/ask” quotes obtained fromservice/liquidity providers chosen by the Company, with additional “mark-up/mark-down” from the prices
obtained. In cases where the data provided by the Company’s service providers as well as the liquidity
providers is temporarily unavailable, the Company may set prices at its own discretion.
Along with the opening/closing of the market for the underlying future instruments, gaps in market prices
may be experienced. Due to the volatility caused during these periods, usually associated with the low
liquidity and/or followed by significant movements in prices, trading can involve additional risks which should
be taken into consideration when making trading decisions. The Company reserves the right to adjust themargin requirements on any financial instruments based on the underlined market conditions.
All CFD contracts are cash settled.
Some CFDs have an intraday break, in addition to a daily closing. During these times, no transactions can takeplace, i.e. either opening or closing of positions, nor placing and/or cancelling “stop” and “limit” orders. All
trading functionalities cease during intraday breaks, daily closing and market holidays, details are displayed
under the Company's website.
CFD Indices either Spot or Future are based on the relevant underlined stock index, future contract, whereby
the prices are moving in correlation with the prices of the relevant underlined index, however, do not resultin the delivery of any share or instruments to or by the Client.
Margin requirement is calculated by multiplying the “Contract Size”, the traded price, the volume (numberof lots) and the margin requirement percentage (applied by the Company), further detailed under the MT4
Trading Platform.
Contract Size * Traded Price * No. of Lots * margin requirement %CFD instruments that are based on the underlined “futures” contracts are subject to expiration and should beclosed, prior to the last trading day (found on PO on website), otherwise any open positions, for the specific4CFD instruments, shall be closed by the company based on the last quoted price (Bid/Ask) of the last trading
day and cancel any remaining pending orders, without prior notice.
Open Sell trades will be closed on the last Quoted Ask Price.
Open Buy trades will be closed on the last Quoted Bid Price.
The company will also set the CFDs subject to expiration to close only mode, refer to the PO for details. “First
Trading Date”, “Trading Only for Closing” and “Last Trading Date” are defined by Company in its own
discretion.
CFD Shares
Margin requirements are calculated by multiplying the “Contract Size”, the traded price, the volume (numberof lots) and the margin requirement percentage (applied by the Company), further detailed under the MT4
Trading Platform.
CFD shares may be subjected to trading halts and price limits due to the “limit up” and/or “limit/down” orother rules applied by the relevant exchange. The Company may not be in a position to accept new requests
for transaction during the specific period.

CONTRACT/TRADE SIZE
The contract size per standard lot of each financial instrument can be viewed in the PO Document.

SPREAD
Spread is the difference between the “sell” and “buy” price of each financial instrument. Spreads are subject
to variation, especially in volatile market conditions. Spreads may change to reflect the available liquidity
during different times of the day. Minimum and typical spreads are displayed within the PO. Typical spreadshall have the meaning of average spread per instrument across all trading periods over the previous calendar
month.

PIP/TICK VALUESThe PIP and TICK values referring to CFD Forex and CFD Futures respectively, and the minimum fluctuation
information are available on the Company’s website under PO. The calculation of the profit and loss is basedon a pip/tick value, per lot, and is converted into the Client’s accounts base currency, irrelevant of the
instrument traded, is automatically by the company.

TRADING HOURS
Trading hours displayed are based on trading server time (UTC+2 or UTC+3) depending on if Daylight Saving
Time applies or not as per the PO.
The Company may delay market “open” on specific financial instruments by several minutes in order to avoid
providing quotes which do not represent the actual market price of the relevant financial instruments andwhich might be received from liquidity providers, taking into consideration that the liquidity may be low. The
purpose of such possible delay is for the benefits of clients, in order to avoid any negative effect on clients’accounts due to the possible wrong quotes/ticks that may be displayed as an outcome of the abnormal or
wide spreads.
The Client acknowledges and accepts that trading hours may be adjusted at the Company’s discretion.

5

In addition, the client acknowledges and accepts that while the Company aims to maintain regular trading
hours, there may be instances, particularly in abnormal conditions, where the Company may not be able tooffer trading facilities during the specified trading hours. The Company retains the right to suspend or restrict
trading under such circumstances, and will not assume any liability for any implications or ramifications
arising from the unavailability of trading facilities during these abnormal conditions.

VOLATILE MARKET CONDITIONSThe Client acknowledges that during periods of high market volatility, trading conditions may change
abruptly. Among other things, this may result in wider spreads, increased slippage, potential execution delays,
and limited availability of certain trading options or instruments. The Client accepts the inherent risks
associated with trading under such conditions, agrees to exercise prudent risk management, andunderstands that the Company shall not be held liable for losses incurred due to market volatility. The
Company reserves the right to modify trading conditions as deemed necessary to protect its operations andclients' interests during such periods.

TRADING STRATEGIES
Trading strategies that rely on arbitrage opportunities and or riskless arbitrage may be revoked and Windsor
reserves the right to make necessary corrections and adjustments on the Client’s accounts which may, among
others, include widening of the spreads on financial instruments, cancel, apply swaps and or commissions
not initially applied, perform reversal of transactions that were found in a breach of the terms of theagreement and the purpose of maintaining accounts with the Company.

TRADING METHODS
Market Execution is based on the buying/selling financial instruments at the current market price, at the timethat the request was confirmed by the Company and not the price that was displayed at the time of therequest. The confirmation of the price, on the relevant financial instruments, may change during the timeinterval between the request, reception, and transmission/execution of the request. The Client does not havethe option to request again (re-quote) or cancel the request. Delays may occur during the confirmation of
the requests due to market volatility or internet connection in which cases the Company does not takeresponsibility.

ORDERS
In cases of illiquid or highly volatile markets and/or in cases of markets opening with gaps, “market” and/or“stop” orders may be subject to slippage which could have a material impact on the execution price.
There is a risk that orders may be executed at levels significantly worse than their pre-defined/requested
level.
During the periods of highly volatile markets, it may be difficult to place, modify or execute orders. There isa possibility of delays in execution related to modifications and/or completion of orders and it may not be
possible to place new orders during the specific period.
Stop Loss or Take Profit attached to a pending order may be removed by the platform upon the pendingorder being triggered/filled. In such case, the Client remains responsible to monitor and manage any open
positions accordingly. Buy stop with preset TP: IF actual opening buy price is higher than the TP the TP isremoved (due to Negative slippage)6

Buy stop with preset SL: IF actual opening buy price is lower than the SL the SL is removed (due to Positive
slippage)
Sell stop with preset TP: IF actual sell price is lower than the TP the TP is removed (due to Negative slippage)
Sell stop with preset SL: IF actual opening sell price is higher than the SL the SL is removed (due to Positive
slippage)
Buy Limit with preset SL: IF actual opening buy price is lower than the SL the SL is removed (due to Positive
slippage)
Sell Limit with preset SL: IF actual sell price is higher than the SL the SL is removed (due to Positive slippage)

MARGIN REQUIREMENTS
Collateral required for opening new positions is also known as margin requirement.
In cases where the margin falls below the “stop-out” level, the open positions will be closed. Trading on
margin can both positively and negatively affect trading results as both, profits and losses can be amplified.
The margin requirement for a currency pair is calculated as a percentage of the notional value of such pair.
In cases where the accounts’ base currency differs from the currency related to the margin requirement,
when carrying open positions on specific financial instrument, the exchange rate (at the time the relevanttransactions took place), is applicable in order effect/convert the margin requirement into the account’s basecurrency.
Note: Extreme market movements or events may require unscheduled update on the MR without priornotification.

MARGIN REQUIREMENTS AND LEVERAGE RULES
Dynamic Leverage is a risk management tool that aims to minimize risks deriving from high volume trading
since leverage is based per instrument by tiers instead of per account.
In particular, margin requirements are set per symbol and automatically adapt in cases where the net
number of lots on open positions increases or decreases in the client’s account. This is done per trading
instrument.
For more information on how the Company applies dynamic leverage, including, the maximum leverage
offered by the Company per symbol asset class, please click here.

MARGIN CALL
Irrelevant of the leverage applied to clients’ accounts, the margin call is at 100%. Accounts on margin callshould be supported with additional funds in order to maintain positions open. The Client has also ability of
reducing exposure by closing and/or “hedging” open position, in order to increase the margin level andremove accounts from margin call status.
Please be informed that any new activity affecting exposure, which may lead accounts to a margin call or toa further decrease of margin if already in margin call, will not be permitted. This will be applied on Friday
closings at 21:00 (Server time) or in cases of early closing due to market holidays, until markets re-open.

STOP OUT/NEGATIVE BALANCE PROTECTION
For accounts being on Margin Call level, where margin level is less than 100%, the Company has the absolute
discretion to begin closing positions starting from the most unprofitable one.
If the accounts are not supported with additional funds, nor the margin level within the accounts has
increased by reducing open positions, and the accounts equity has decreased due to further losses on open
exposure, then Stop Out might apply.
For accounts reaching the Stop Out level, at margin level less than 20% for all clients, and/or any otherpercentage specified during account opening, the Company will automatically close positions at the current
market price starting from the most unprofitable one based on the Company’s Best Execution Policy.
On the closing out of a transaction, if the closed position results in a positive balance, the Company will credit
this amount to your account with us; however, if the closed position results in a negative balance, we willdebit this amount to your account with us.
The Company shall not be held liable for any margin call or losses that the Client may suffer, including but
not limited to losses due to Stop-out Level, if any trading benefit is withdrawn for any reason pursuant to theCompany’s trading terms included within this document and/or updated from time to time and found on the
Company’s website.
The Company shall ensure that losses will not exceed the total deposited funds per Clients’ trading accounts
based on the Negative Balance Protection applicable requirements. There can be no residual loss or
obligation to provide additional funds beyond those in the client’s trading accounts.
Any Negative Balance amount will be covered by the Company into the clients’ trading account to bring theoverall balance back to zero as soon as possible and prior to the Client depositing further funds in the relevant
trading account.
