Regulatory disclosures and risk information for clients of Speedtrader International Limited.
Eligibility
Speedtrader International Limited will not open accounts for persons or entities domiciled in the United States or New Zealand. This entity is separate and distinct from speedtrader.com.
Trading securities involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Leveraged and short-selling strategies can produce losses that exceed the amount originally deposited. Consider your objectives, experience, and financial condition before trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Trading on margin involves additional risk, including the potential to lose more than the amount originally deposited. Positions held overnight are financed at a published rate; intraday buying power is provided at up to 6:1 subject to marginability and account approval. Positions may be liquidated without prior notice to satisfy margin requirements.
Speedtrader International does not accept payment for order flow on directed orders. Clients direct orders to venues of their choice. Non-directed orders may be routed by our smart-order-routing engine to venues selected on price, size, and probability of execution.
"Direct market access" means that clients have indirect market access via Speedtrader International's clearing relationships — not via Speedtrader International directly, and not directly by the clients themselves. All orders pass through two sets of pre-trade risk controls: one applied by Speedtrader International, and a second applied by the clearing brokers. The clearing brokers are the gatekeepers of market access, not Speedtrader International or the clients.
Brokerage services are provided through introducing arrangements with US-regulated clearing firms — Interactive Brokers and Curvature Securities — both SEC-registered, FINRA-member firms. Eligible client accounts receive SIPC coverage at the clearing level. Coverage does not protect against market losses.
Information on this site and in our platforms is provided for informational purposes only. Speedtrader International Limited does not provide investment, tax, or legal advice. Consult qualified professionals before making trading or investment decisions.
