9 Hong Kong stock CFDs
Maximum exposure for any one instrument per client is HK $ 2,500,000.

A client who opens a position worth over than the maximum trade size, will have their
position forcibly closed and will incur spread for that particular instrument as a penalty.
For example:
• Standard Account
1) A client with a margin deposit of US $ 28,000 has sufficient margin to trade worth
US $ 560,000. However, only US $ 500,000 trade size is allowed for any one
instrument. If he/she chooses to trade INTEL at US $ 20.00, he can trade only 25 lots
of it. If he/she buys 25.55 lots INTEL at US $ 20.00 (Face value: US $ 511,000), 0.55
lots of his positions will be forcibly closed at 19.98. Hence he will incur the
instrument spread as a loss.
2) You have a margin deposit with the amount is US $ 17,500 hence you can trade worth
± HK $ 2,712,500. However, only HK $ 2,500,000 trade size is allowed for any one
instrument. If you choose to trade LIFUNG-HK with the price HK $ 40.00, you can
trade only 6.25 lots. But if you buy 6.75 lots of LIFUNG_HK at HK $ 40.00, 0.5 lots
of your positions will be forcibly closed at HK $ 39.90. Hence you will incur the
underlying spread as a loss.
• Smart Account
1) A client with a margin deposit of US $ 100,000 has sufficient margin to trade worth
US $ 2,000,000. However, only US $ 1,000,000 trade size is allowed for any one
instrument. If he chooses to trade APPLE at US $ 225.00, he can trade only 4.4 lots
of it. If he/she buys 4.5 lots APPLE at US $ 225.00 (Face value: US $ 1,012,500), 0.1

lots of his positions will be forcibly closed at US $ 224.80. Hence he will incur the
instrument spread as a loss.
2) You have a margin deposit with the amount is US $ 50,000 hence you can trade worth
± HK $ 7,750,000. However, only HK $ 5,000,000 trade size is allowed for any one
instrument. If you choose to trade HKE-HK with the price HK $ 130.50, you can
trade only 3.8 lots. But if you buy 4 lots of HKE-HK at HK $ 130.50, 0.2 lots of your
positions will be forcibly closed at HK $ 130.30. Hence you will incur the underlying
spread as a loss.

Commission
¾ Forex, Precious Metals, and Energy = No Commission Charged.
¾ Asian Index
• Nikkei 225 (NKxxF and NKA) = 1 Point / Lot / Side.
• HangSeng 43 (HKxxF and HKA) = 1 Point / Lot / Side.
• Kospi 200 (KSxxF and KSA) = 0.01 Points / Lot / Side.
¾ US Index
• Dow Jones (DJ-I) = 1 Point / Lot / Side.
• Mini NASDAQ (NQ-I) = 0.25 Points / Lot / Side.
• Mini S&P 500 (SP-I) = 0.125 Points / Lot / Side.
¾ European Index
• FTSE (FTSEA) = No Commission Charged.
• DAX (DAXA) = No Commission Charged.
¾ Stock CFDs (US/Hong Kong/Japan Stock CFDs)
The Commission is 0.3% of face value of opening trade. Commission is charged for both
sides of the transaction at the point on opening the initial transaction and would be converted
into USD using the rate at the particular time.
For example:
1) You sell 0.5 lots (500 shares) of Citigroup at price US $ 3.58. The face value of this trade
is US $ 1,790. Hence you are charged US $ 5.37 (0.3% of US $ 1,790) upfront. Upon
closing this trade you will not be charged any further commission.
2) You buy 0.05 lots (500 shares) of CLIFE-HK at HK $ 36.10. The face value for this trade
is HK $ 18,050. Assume on that particular moment US $ 1 = HK $ 7.75, hence you will
be charged approximately US $ 6.99 {(0.3% of HK $ 18,050)/USDHKD} upfront and you
will not be charged any further commission when you have squared the position.
Interest Rates
¾ Forex and Precious Metals
Open positions for Forex and Precious Metals where pass the end of the day’s trading will
incur the interest rate which is subject to change depending on the fluctuation of the key
interest rates of the underlying countries and will be issued every Monday.
The calculation of Interest Rate is 3 times as other normal day on Wednesday only.
¾ Stock CFDs
Financing charges are based on the closing face value of the outstanding open positions and
not on the share traded.
MySmartFx

• US Stock CFDs
Long (Buy) CFD positions held past the end of the day's trading incur overnight
financing charge on the closing face value. The amount charged is a markup of 3% over
the current LIBOR rate.
Short (Sell) CFD positions enable the position to receive interest amounting to 3%
markdown from current LIBOR rate on the closing face value. If LIBOR is below 3%,
the holder of a short CFD position will pay financing charge.
For example:
1) US LIBOR rate is currently at 3.5% and you buy 0.1 lots (100 shares) of AIGROUP
at US $ 35.00. You intend to keep this position for a night. Assume that AIGROUP
closes at US $ 35.50. Your closing face value is US $ 3,550 (35.50 x 100 shares).
Hence you must pay 6.5% (LIBOR + 3%) of the closing face value (US $ 3,550).
The amount charged for that day is as follows:
= (-6.5% / 360) x US $ 3,550
= - US $ 0.64
2) You sell 0.2 lots (200 shares) of HEWLETT at US $ 51.46. Assume that HEWLETT
closes at US $ 51.90. Your closing face value is US $ 10,380 (51.90 x 200 shares). US
LIBOR rate currently at 3.5%, hence you receive 0.5% (LIBOR - 3% markdown) of
the closing face value (US $ 10,380).
The amount received for that day is as follows:
= (0.5% / 360) x US $ 10,380
= US $ 0.14
• Hong Kong Stock CFDs
Long CFD positions held past the end of the day's trading incur overnight financing
charge on the closing face value. The amount charged is a markup of 3% over the
current HIBOR rate.
Short CFD positions enable the position to receive interest amounting to 3% markdown
from current HIBOR rate on the closing face value. If HIBOR is below 3%, the holder of
a short CFD position will pay financing charge.
For example:
1) Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR) for this week is currently at 0.05% and
you buy 0.07 lots (700 shares) of LIFUNG-HK at HK $ 39.60. You intend to keep this
position for a night. LIFUNG-HK closes at HK $ 39.85. Your closing face value is
HK $ 39.85 x 700 shares = HK $ 27,895. Hence you must pay 3.05% (Current
HIBOR + 3%) of the closing face value (HK $ 27,895).
The amount charged for that day approximately is as follows:
= (-3.05% / 360) x HK $ 27,895
= - HK $ 2.36
= - US $ 0.30 (Assuming US $ 1 = HK $ 7.75)
2) You sell 0.3 lots CNOOC-HK at HK $ 12.68. Let’s assume that CNOOC-HK closes at
HK $ 12.58. HIBOR for this week is currently at 0.05%, hence you must pay 2.95%
(HIBOR – 3% markdown) of the closing face value (HK $ 37,740).
MySmartFx
10
The amount charged for that day approximately is as follows:
= (-2.95% / 360) x HK $ 37,740
= - HK $ 3.09
= - US $ 0.40 (Assuming US $ 1 = HK $ 7.75)
• Japan Stock CFDs
Long CFD positions held past the end of the day's trading incur overnight financing
charge on the closing face value. The amount charged is a markup of 3% over the
current TIBOR rate.
Short CFD positions enable the position to receive interest amounting to 3% markdown
from current TIBOR rate on the closing face value. If TIBOR is below 3%, the holder of
a short CFD position will pay financing charge.
For example:
Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (TIBOR) currently at 0.19%
1) You buy 0.2 lots (200 shares) of KONICA-JP. at ¥ 910 and intend to keep the position
for a night. Let’s assume that KONICA-JP closes at ¥ 901, so your closing face value
is ¥ 901 x 200 shares = ¥ 180,200. Hence you must pay 3.19% (Current TIBOR +
3%) of the closing face value (¥ 180,200).
The amount charged for that day approximately is as follows:
= (-3.19% / 360) x ¥ 180,200
= - ¥ 15.97
= - US $ 0.17 (Assuming US $ 1 = ¥ 92.00)
2) You sell 0.05 lots (50 shares) of SONY-JP at ¥ 2,155. Assume that SONY-JP closes at
¥ 2,205 and you intend to keep that position for a night. Your closing face value is ¥
110,250 (¥ 2,205 x 50 shares), hence you must pay the overnight charges as big as
2.81% (TIBOR – 3% markdown) of the closing face value (¥ 110,250).
The amount charged for that day approximately is as follows:
= (-2.81% / 360) x ¥ 110,250
= - ¥ 8.61
= - US $ 0.09 (Assuming US $ 1 = ¥ 92.00)

¾ Limit Orders are considered DONE if the price on the platform has been reached or passed,
depending on the Sell or Buy position respectively.
For example:
Running EURUSD. is 1.50501 / 1.50531 Day High 1.50501
• LO Sell 1.50501 or below ………………………… DONE
• LO Sell 1.50502 or above …………………… ……NOT DONE
Running EURUSD. is 1.49504 / 1.49534 Day Low 1.49504
• LO Buy 1.49534 or above …………………… ……DONE
• LO Buy 1.49533 or below ………………………… NOT DONE
NOTE: The Executed price is according to the price placed by the client.
¾ Stop Orders are considered DONE if the price on the platform has been reached, depending
on the Sell or Buy position respectively. For Forex and Precious Metals, if the price on the
platform has passed the price placed by the client, the executed price is according to the first
tick after passing the underlying price placed by the client, depending on the Sell or Buy
position respectively.
For example:
The Client place a Stop Buy of EURCHF. at 1.48655
The price of EURCHF. has changed from 1.48505 / 1.48555 to 1.48755 / 1.48805, so the
price that will be executed is 1.48805
NOTE: The Executed price is according to the tick price movement.
When a transaction takes place based on a WRONG QUOTATION, MySmartFx has the right
to make a Correction/Revoke the transaction depending on the market price at that point.
Automatic Liquidation
MySmartFx reserves the right to automatically close out the client’s positions incurring a loss, in
the event that the margin deposit is not enough to cushion an adverse market move.
When the equity reached to 100% or below of the margin required, all open positions will be
automatically closed unless the underlying market is closed.
However in the case of a price gap causing equity to be below or equal to 0, all open position(s)
are automatically closed even though the underlying market is closed. An adjustment will be
proceeded to convert the equity back to zero if the liquidation causes a negative equity.
For Example:
1) Client with a deposit of US $ 500 buys 0.15 lots MORGAN at US $ 29.54. The commission
for that transaction is US $ 13.29 (0.3% x Open Face Value). Assume MORGAN closes at
US $ 32.35. On the next day when the HK market opens, client sells 0.05 lots of HUCTH-HK
at HK $ 56.70. The commission is US $ 10.97 {(0.3% x Open Face Value) / 7.75(Assuming
US $ 1 = HK $ 7.75)}. Upon HK market close, HUCTH-HK is trading at price HK $ 57.50.
When the US market opens, MORGAN gaps down to US $ 29.40. With the above conditions,
the MORGAN position will be automatically closed using the price at the particular time and
MySmartFx
12
the HUTCH-HK position will still open even though the position incurred the largest loss
between all open positions.
2) Client with a deposit of US $ 500 buys 0.15 lots MORGAN at US $ 29.54. The commission
for that transaction is US $ 13.29 (0.3% x Open Face Value). Assume MORGAN closes at
US $ 31.20. On the next day when the HK market opens, client sells 0.08 lots of HUCTH-HK
at HK $ 56.70. The commission is US $ 17.56 {(0.3% x Open Face Value) / 7.75(Assuming
US $ 1 = HK $ 7.75)}. Upon HK market close, HUCTH-HK is trading at price HK $ 57.00.
When the US market opens, MORGAN gaps down to US $ 26.60. With the above conditions,
all positions will be automatically closed as the equity is less than 0. The client has now a
negative equity of approximately US $ 2.82 (excluding overnight financing charge).
MySmartFx will do an adjustment of this US $ 2.82 (as well as financing charges) in order to
convert the equity back to zero.
Automatic Rollover
¾ NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil (OIL-LS)
Automatic Roll Over will be done at the close of business on the fifth business day prior to
the 25th calendar day of the month preceding the delivery month. If the 25th calendar day of
the month is a non-business day, the automatic roll over shall cease on the fifth business day
prior to the business day preceding the 25th calendar day. In the event that the originally
listed roll over day is declared an exchange holiday, roll over will move to the business day
immediately prior.
For Example:
Client A has an open position Buy 1 lot of OIL-LS at 40.15, the New Balance is - US $ 20,
Floating US $ 220, Equity US $ 200 using the closing of underlying contract.
Client B has an open position Sell 1 lot of OIL-LS at 39.45, the New Balance is US $ 490,
Floating - US $ 290, Equity US $ 200 using the closing of underlying contract.
The closing of the underlying contract is 42.35 and the closing of the next contract 45.20, the
occur roll over will be shown as below:
Client A:
Sell 1 lot of OIL-LS at 42.35 will be closed with Buy 1 lot of OIL-LS at 45.20, the occur loss:
(42.35 - 45.20) x 100 x 1 Lot = - US $ 285
So the New Balance - US $ 305, Floating US $ 505, Equity US $ 200 by using the closing of
next contract and the original price will stay exist. (Roll over loss will be covered with the
addition of floating profit).
Client B:
Buy 1 lot of OIL-LS at 42.35 will be closed with Sell 1 lot of OIL-LS at 45.20, the occur
profit:
(45.20 - 42.35) x 100 x 1 Lot = US $ 285
So the New Balance US $ 775, Floating - US $ 575, Equity US $ 200 by using the closing of
next contract and the original price will stay exist (Roll over profit will be cover for the
addition of floating loss).
The original price will stay exist as long as there has not been liquidated by the customer.

¾ NYMEX - Henry Hub Natural Gas (NatGAS)
Automatic Roll Over will be done at the close of business on the fifth business day prior to
the first day of the delivery month. In the event that the originally listed Roll Over day is
declared an exchange holiday, Roll Over will move to the business day immediately prior.
¾ Nikkei 225 Continuous (NKA) and Kospi 200 Continuous (KSA)
Automatic Roll Over will be done at the close of business on the second business day prior to
the second Thursday of the contract month, which is as follows: March, June, September, and

is US $ 250, Floating - US $ 100, Equity US $ 150 using the closing of underlying contract.
Client B has an open position Sell 1 lot of NKA at 15700 with the New Balance is US $ 100,
Floating US $ 50, Equity US $ 150 using the closing of underlying contract.
The closing of the underlying contract is 15600 and the closing of the next contract 15625,
the occur roll over will be shown as below:
Client A:
Sell 1 lot NKA at 15600 will be closed with Buy 1 lot NKA at 15625, the occur loss:
(15600 - 15625) x US $ 0.5 x 1 Lot = - US $ 12.50
So the New Balance US $ 237.50, Floating - US $ 87.50, Equity US $ 150 by using the
closing of next contract and the original price will stay exist. (Roll over loss will be covered
with the addition of floating profit).
Client B:
Buy 1 lot NKA at 15600 will be closed with Sell 1 lot NKA at 15625 the occur profit:
(15625 - 15600) x US $ 0.5 x 1 Lot = US $ 12.50
So the New Balance US $ 112.50, Floating US $ 37.50, Equity US $ 150 by using the closing
of next contract and the original price will stay exist (Roll over profit will be cover for the
addition of floating loss).
The original price will stay exist as long as there has not been liquidated by the customer.
¾ HangSeng 43 Continuous (HKA)
Automatic Roll Over will be done at the close of business on the last three business day of

is US $ 200, Floating - US $ 47, Equity US $ 153 using the closing of underlying contract.
Client B has an open position Sell 1 lot of HKA at 22376 with the New Balance is US $ 126,
Floating US $ 27, Equity US $ 153 using the closing of underlying contract.
The closing of the underlying contract is 22322 and the closing of the next contract 22072,
the occur roll over will be shown as below:
Client A:
Sell 1 lot HKA at 22322 will be closed with Buy 1 lot HKA at 22072, the occur profit:
(22322 - 22072) x US $ 0.5 x 1 Lot = US $ 125
MySmartFx

So the New Balance US $ 325, Floating - US $ 172, Equity US $ 153 by using the closing of
next contract and the original price will stay exist. (Roll over profit will be cover for the
addition of floating loss).
Client B:
Buy 1 lot HKA at 22322 will be closed with Sell 1 lot HKA at 22072 the occur loss:
(22072 - 22322) x US $ 0.5 x 1 Lot = - US $ 125
So the New Balance US $ 1, Floating US $ 152, Equity US $ 153 by using the closing of next
contract and the original price will stay exist (Roll over loss will be covered with the addition
of floating profit).
The original price will stay exist as long as there has not been liquidated by the customer.

Dividend Adjustment for CFDs
Holders of long CFD positions will, when dividends are paid on the underlying share, qualify for
a proportional payout.
Holders of short CFD positions will have to pay an amount equal to the full (gross) dividend paid
on the underlying share.
To qualify for dividends receivable/payable, one must have the position open on the day before
the ex-dividend date until exchange close.
Cash dividends are booked on the end of the business hours of the dividend ex-date and would
be paid in the currency of the share. Cash dividends are converted into USD using the rate at the
end of the trading hours of the respective exchange.
For example:
1) Assume the ex-dividend date of MERCK is 11th March and dividend is paid quarterly. The
annual dividend paid is US $ 1.52 per share. Hence the quarterly dividend is US $ 0.38. If
you have open a position of MERCK before ex-date, and keep the position open throughout
the business day, you will qualify for any dividends paid or received on this share CFD.
