1. Scalping; Scalping refers to a trading style characterized by short trade durations and small price movements. As a general rule, trades that are closed within 0 to 30minutes and/or result in a 0 to 20 pip price movement are considered scalping trades.
   (Reference: Investopedia – Forex Scalping)

The classification of an account as a scalping account will depend on the proportion of trades falling within the scalping criteria:

• If a large proportionof trades (>20%) meet the scalping definition, the standard filter of 20 pips and 30 minutes will be applied.
• If a significant proportion(>10% and ≤20%) of trades qualify, a median filter of 10 pips and 15 minutes will be used.

• If only a small proportion(≤10%) of trades fall under the scalping definition, then the following minimum criteria will apply to filter scalping trades, subject to Capital Street FX’s discretion:

• Trade duration of less than 320 seconds, and
• Price movement of less than 5.5 to 6 pips(adjusted for the applicable spread).

Capital Street FX reserves the right to assess trade behavior holistically, including trade frequency, timing (e.g., around news releases), low profit/loss patterns, and volume spikes when determining if the account activity constitutes scalping.

• scalping involves buying and selling currencies, typically with a brief holding time and with multiple trades taken each day.

• scalpers keep risk small in an attempt to capture small price movements for a profit. The small price movements can become significant amounts of money with leverage and large position sizes.

• scalpers typically use promotional forex accounts, as using a normal account will put them at a disadvantage.

• leverage, spreads, fees, and slippage are all risks that the scalper needs to control, manage, and account for as much as possible.

13. Any Bonus amount received and/or removed/cancelled/written off previously counts towards the maximum cumulative Bonus amount, a client can avail.

15. The deposit bonus promotion cannot be combined with any other promotion automatically in any given account. In case the client wishes to combine more than one promotion in one account, the client may make a request to the Customer Support Department in writing with full details of the combination they desire. The final decision on this matter rests with Capital Street FX, and we may in our sole discretion permit or decline such a request. The terms upon which multiple promotions may be combined will be decided and stated to the client in writing, should such an offer be made/accepted for a client account.
16. A Deposit bonus may be requested by a qualifying client for every deposit made into the account. Approval to credit/provide such bonus(es) is subject to the discretion of the company and there is no binding obligation upon the company to do so. In the event that multiple deposit bonuses are combined together over multiple deposits, the following terms shall apply
17. a)All bonus amounts credited shall be combined to calculate the total bonus availed/credited in the account.
18. b)The terms and requirements of all bonuses shall be cumulative – this means that the required trading volume, the bonus amount to be deducted from the final balance of the account at the time of any withdrawals/cancellation/forfeiture, as well as the bonus amount thresholds and conditions shall all be based upon the total amount of bonus funds credited to the account.
19. c)In case of cancellation of such combined bonuses, the full amount of the clubbed bonuses(the total amount received in bonuses over the deposits in question) shall be the deductible amount from the total ending balance of the account at the time of bonus cancellation.
20. d)The cancellation of profits and deduction of losses in cases where such a combined bonus is cancelled shall be based on the below formula:

Ending Balance(balance at time of bonus cancellation) – Total Bonus Credited(combined amount) – Total Deposits – Net Profits Made With Bonus (adjustment of total loss from the client’s deposit when client is in default of any restricted trade strategy) = Withdrawable Funds

For e.g (example 1)

User X makes the following deposits and receives corresponding bonuses on the said dates

Showing 1 to 4 of 4 entries

In the above example the client makes deposits and receives bonuses on 02/01 and 01/02 and combines the two bonuses together. There is a loss of deposit + trading funds between deposit 1 and deposit 2($30000 loss) and then the client makes a new deposit and also gets a bonus on this deposit which is combined with the $30000(bonus funds left over) from the first bonus. In this case the client’s volume requirement becomes a total of 6250 + 9375 lots to be completed before there can be any withdrawal of funds from the account(profits or deposit).

In the above example, the client makes a trading profit of $20000 on 15/02/2019 to bring the total account balance upto $140000. The client has traded 200 lots as an assumption at this time. In this case if the client wants to make a withdrawal, the amount available for withdrawal = 0, based on the below reasons.

15625. a)Full trading volume Required = 15625. Current trading volume = 200(less than the total required)
15626. b)Total Starting Balance = 10000 + 50000 + 15000 + 75000 = 150 Current Balance = 140000. Therefore Account is in loss

As a second example we take the same User X in a different position.

Showing 1 to 4 of 4 entries

Volume completed by User in this case = 500 lots

Withdrawable amount by user in this case = 0 and the reason for this is that the full volume is to be completed prior to the profit amount becoming available, even though the account is in an overall profit after adjusting for all deposit and bonus amounts.

In case the user wishes to cancel the bonus in example 1 before completing the full volume, the withdrawable amount would be as follows

140000(ending balance) – 125000(full bonus amount from bonus 1 and 2) – 25000(total deposits) – 10000(net loss resulting from 30000 loss in bonus 1 and 2000 profit in bonus 2) = -20000

In case the user wishes to cancel the bonus in example 2 before completing the full volume, the withdrawable amount would be as follows

120000(ending balance) – 100000(total bonus credited) – 20000(total deposits) – 40000(profit made using the bonus) – 40000(losses made using the bonus) = 0

17. If the Company suspects or has reason to believe that a Client has abused the Terms and Conditions of this Bonus Program or has used any of the prohibited trading strategies (or abusing the bonus using other trading accounts held with Company) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), or using any other combination that offers the client a risk-lesstrading opportunity, then the Company reserves the right, at its absolute discretion and without obtaining the Client’s consent, to remove the Bonus from the Client’s trading account(s) or from his profitable accounts with immediate effect. All profits made from such trading activity shall also be removed from the client account along with the bonus funds. Any losses made in the account(s) shall be deducted from the client’s funds on deposit.

DETAILED TERMS AND CONDITIONS 200% DEPOSIT BONUS PROMOTION – CAPITAL STREET FX

Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully and thoroughly before requesting for the promotion to be applied to your account

1. The “Upto 200% Deposit Bonus” Program is an ongoing program that will run from January 2019.
2. The Bonus can be applied to non-ECN accounts only.
3. The leverage conditions of the underlying account will prevail(Please Refer To Clause 23 for Further Details on Leverage Rules.
4. The Bonus will not be automatically applied on the Client’s initial minimum deposit of USD 200 or more and subsequent deposits of USD 200 or more into the live trading account to which the Program has been applied. Clients need to make a deposit and request for the bonus by sending an email or contacting customer support on live chat.

Please Note: The request for a bonus does not guarantee its approval/acceptance. It is the sole discretion of the company to provide a bonus or to decline such a request. The company’s decision on this matter is final and there can be no contest or debate on the decision of the company in this matter. The precise amount of bonus provided, any related terms not mentioned herewith and any other relevant information may be indicated to the client with an advance notice of any changes 48(forty eight) hours prior to such changes becoming effective and the client agrees to submit to the authority of the company in all such matters without contest.

For Example: If a Client deposits USD 500 into an approved live account and requests for the bonus to be applied, a bonus credit of upto 200% (USD 1000) will be credited to the account, effectively magnifying the Client’s deposit.

5. The Bonus can be applied on internal transfers to the live trading account to which the Program has been applied. This requires written confirmation from Capital Street FX confirming that the internal transfer amount is eligible for such a bonus based on the terms of the promotion.
6. The Bonus Program can be applied to one (1) account per Client and per IP address only. In the event that a Client has already applied the Bonus to a live account, no other Bonus Account may be opened under any circumstances.
7. The cumulative maximum bonus amount that can be earned by a Client is USD 50000 or equivalent. Requests for bonuses(individual/cumulative) of higher amounts may be authorized/rejected at the sole discretion of the company.
8. The Bonus is FULLY TRADEABLE. This means that the bonus can be used to increase a Client’s leverage, as well as used fully to trade and hold positions. Even in the event that a Client’s equity reaches or falls below the level of the Bonus, the Bonus will not be automatically removed from the client’s account.
9. The Bonus is for trading purposes only and cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances. Only profits, any rebates earned and the Client’s deposits into the account may be withdrawn.
10. Any withdrawal made from the Client’s account will result in the Bonus received by the Client being removed from the account in full. This applies to withdrawal of profits, rebates and/or deposits made by the Client.

For Example: If a Client deposits 500 USD into their approved bonus account he/ she will receive a fully tradeable bonus of a maximum of 1000 USD. If the Client then withdraws 400 USD, the full amount of $1000 will be removed from the Bonus received by the Client.

In the event of the bonus being removed from the account subsequent to a/any withdrawal as above, the user agrees that the Company will not be held liable for any losses that may be incurred as a result of the removal of the Bonus received by a Client due to a withdrawal

Please Note – The company does not allow a partial withdrawal of profits under any circumstances whatsoever. Clients are requested to please clarify the exact details of their account based on their account/bonus history to ensure they are fully familiar with this requirement before trading with the promotion.

11. The unrestricted withdrawal of all profits and deposits made in the account is possible once the total volume requirement for the bonus has been completed. The volume requirement is determined using the below formula “Total amount of bonus received / 8 = total number of standard lots required”. For example a client makes a deposit of $500 in their account and receives a bonus of $1000(200%).

The total volume requirement shall be as follows

125. a)1000(bonus amount) / 8 = 125.00 standard lots This volume requirement has to be satisfied for the client to be able to withdraw the full equity in their account(including deposits and profits BUT EXCLUDING the bonus amount). Till the volume requirement is completed, the client cannot make any partial withdrawals.
126. b)Should the client wish to make a withdrawal in their account prior to the completion of the terms, or should the client wish to cancel a bonus already received before completing the terms, the client can request for the removal of the bonus from their account.c)Withdrawal of profits after expiry of bonus when the lot requirement under the terms of the bonus to withdraw the profits are not complete.In such a situation, the bonus amount originally credited to the client account shall be removed in full from the client account. Any profits made using the bonus, shall be cancelled in full along with the bonus, and any losses made while trading shall be deducted from the client’s deposit, in the event of such a withdrawal request/cancellation request.
     
     Please Note Value of 1 Standard lot for the promotion will be:

1 Standard Lot means either A) $100,000 notional value(US Dollars Hundred Thousand Only) or B) The notional value of the standard lot of the said product, as traded on the benchmark market (exchange, interbank ecn, alternative OTC trading venues and/or all/any alternative recognized trading venues).The notional value of the lot shall be the value that is higher when comparing A) and B)

13. Any Bonus amount received and/or removed/cancelled/written off previously counts towards the maximum cumulative Bonus amount, a client can avail.

14. The Bonus can only be applied to the account for which the bonus has been approved and bonus amounts received cannot be transferred between a Client’s trading accounts.
15. The deposit bonus promotion cannot be combined with any other promotion automatically in any given account. In case the client wishes to combine more than one promotion in one account, the client may make a request to the Customer Support Department in writing with full details of the combination they desire. The final decision on this matter rests with Capital Street FX, and we may in our sole discretion permit or decline such a request. The terms upon which multiple promotions may be combined will be decided and stated to the client in writing, should such an offer be made/accepted for a client account.
16. A Deposit bonus may be requested by a qualifying client for every deposit made into the account. Approval to credit/provide such bonus(es) is subject to the discretion of the company and there is no binding obligation upon the company to do so. In the event that multiple deposit bonuses are combined together over multiple deposits, the following terms shall apply
17. a)All bonus amounts credited shall be combined to calculate the total bonus availed/credited in the account.
18. b)The terms and requirements of all bonuses shall be cumulative – this means that the required trading volume, the bonus amount to be deducted from the final balance of the account at the time of any withdrawals/cancellation/forfeiture, as well as the bonus amount thresholds and conditions shall all be based upon the total amount of bonus funds credited to the account.
19. c)In case of cancellation of such combined bonuses, the full amount of the clubbed bonuses(the total amount received in bonuses over the deposits in question) shall be the deductible amount from the total ending balance of the account at the time of bonus cancellation.
20. d)The cancellation of profits and deduction of losses in cases where such a combined bonus is cancelled shall be based on the below formula

Ending Balance(balance at time of bonus cancellation) – Total Bonus Credited(combined amount) – Total Deposits – Net Profits/Losses Made With Bonus = Withdrawable Funds

For e.g (example 1)

User X makes the following deposits and receives corresponding bonuses on the said dates

Showing 1 to 4 of 4 entries

In the above example the client makes deposits and receives bonuses on 02/01 and 01/02 and combines the two bonuses together. There is a loss of deposit + trading funds between deposit 1 and deposit 2($1000 loss) and then the client makes a new deposit and also gets a bonus on this deposit which is combined with the $500(bonus funds left over) from the first bonus. In this case the client’s volume requirement becomes a total of 125 + 750 lots to be completed before there can be any withdrawal of funds from the account(profits or deposit).

In the above example, the client makes a trading profit of $500 on 15/02/2019 to bring the total account balance upto $10000. The client has traded 200 lots as an assumption at this time. In this case if the client wants to make a withdrawal, the amount available for withdrawal = 0, based on the below reasons.

875. a)Full trading volume Required = 875. Current trading volume = 200(less than the total required)
876. b)Total Starting Balance = 500 + 1000 + 3000 + 6000 = 105 Current Balance = 10000. Therefore Account is in loss

As a second example we take the same User X in a different position.

Showing 1 to 4 of 4 entries

Volume completed by User in this case = 500 lots

Withdrawable amount by user in this case = 0 and the reason for this is that the full volume is to be completed prior to the profit amount becoming available, even though the account is in an overall profit after adjusting for all deposit and bonus amounts.

In case the user wishes to cancel the bonus in example 1 before completing the full volume, the withdrawable amount would be as follows

10000(ending balance) – 7000(full bonus amount from bonus 1 and 2) – 3500(total deposits) – 500(net loss resulting from 1000 loss in bonus 1 and 500 profit in bonus 2) = -1000

In case the user wishes to cancel the bonus in example 2 before completing the full volume, the withdrawable amount would be as follows

17000(ending balance) – 11000(total bonus credited) – 5500(total deposits) – 1500(profit made using the bonus) – 1000(losses made using the bonus) = 0

17. If the Company suspects or has reason to believe that a Client has abused the Terms and Conditions of this Bonus Program or has used any of the prohibited trading strategies (or abusing the bonus using other trading accounts held with Company) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), or using any other combination that offers the client a risk-less trading opportunity, then the Company reserves the right, at its absolute discretion and without obtaining the Client’s consent, to remove the Bonus from the Client’s trading account(s) or from his profitable accounts with immediate effect. All profits made from such trading activity shall also be removed from the client account along with the bonus funds. Any losses made in the account(s) shall be deducted from the client’s funds on deposit.

Under the terms of the promotion, trading strategies including, but not limited to the below are strictly prohibited:

1. Scalping; Scalping refers to a trading style characterized by short trade durations and small price movements. As a general rule, trades that are closed within 0 to 30minutes and/or result in a 0 to 20 pip price movement are considered scalping trades.
   (Reference: Investopedia – Forex Scalping)

The classification of an account as a scalping account will depend on the proportion of trades falling within the scalping criteria:

• If a large proportionof trades (>20%) meet the scalping definition, the standard filter of 20 pips and 30 minutes will be applied.
• If a significant proportion(>10% and ≤20%) of trades qualify, a median filter of 10 pips and 15 minutes will be used.

• If only a small proportion(≤10%) of trades fall under the scalping definition, then the following minimum criteria will apply to filter scalping trades, subject to Capital Street FX’s discretion:

• Trade duration of less than 320 seconds, and
• Price movement of less than 5.5 to 6 pips(adjusted for the applicable spread).

Capital Street FX reserves the right to assess trade behavior holistically, including trade frequency, timing (e.g., around news releases), low profit/loss patterns, and volume spikes when determining if the account activity constitutes scalping.

• scalping involves buying and selling currencies, typically with a brief holding time and with multiple trades taken each day.

• scalpers keep risk small in an attempt to capture small price movements for a profit. The small price movements can become significant amounts of money with leverage and large position sizes.

• scalpers typically use promotional forex accounts, as using a normal account will put them at a disadvantage.

• leverage, spreads, fees, and slippage are all risks that the scalper needs to control, manage, and account for as much as possible.

DETAILED TERMS AND CONDITIONS 150% DEPOSIT BONUS PROMOTION – CAPITAL STREET FX

Please read the following Terms and Conditions carefully and thoroughly before requesting for the promotion to be applied to your account

1. The “Upto 150% Deposit Bonus” Program is an ongoing program that will run from January 2019.
2. The Bonus can be applied to non-ECN accounts only.
3. The leverage conditions of the underlying account will prevail(Please Refer To Clause 23 for Further Details on Leverage Rules.
4. The Bonus will not be automatically applied on the Client’s initial minimum deposit of USD 100 or more and subsequent deposits of USD 100 or more into the live trading account to which the Program has been applied. Clients need to make a deposit and request for the bonus by sending an email or contacting customer support on live chat.

Please Note: The request for a bonus does not guarantee its approval/acceptance. It is the sole discretion of the company to provide a bonus or to decline such a request. The company’s decision on this matter is final and there can be no contest or debate on the decision of the company in this matter. The precise amount of bonus provided, any related terms not mentioned herewith and any other relevant information may be indicated to the client with an advance notice of any changes 48(forty eight) hours prior to such changes becoming effective and the client agrees to submit to the authority of the company in all such matters without contest.

For Example: If a Client deposits USD 300 into an approved live account and requests for the bonus to be applied, a bonus credit of upto 150% (USD 450) will be credited to the account, effectively magnifying the Client’s deposit.

5. The Bonus can be applied on internal transfers to the live trading account to which the Program has been applied. This requires written confirmation from Capital Street FX confirming that the internal transfer amount is eligible for such a bonus based on the terms of the promotion.
6. The Bonus Program can be applied to one (1) account per Client and per IP address only. In the event that a Client has already applied the Bonus to a live account, no other Bonus Account may be opened under any circumstances.
7. The cumulative maximum bonus amount that can be earned by a Client is USD 50000 or equivalent. Requests for bonuses(individual/cumulative) of higher amounts may be authorized/rejected at the sole discretion of the company.
8. The Bonus is FULLY TRADEABLE. This means that the bonus can be used to increase a Client’s leverage, as well as used fully to trade and hold positions. Even in the event that a Client’s equity reaches or falls below the level of the Bonus, the Bonus will not be automatically removed from the client’s account.
9. The Bonus is for trading purposes only and cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances. Only profits, any rebates earned and the Client’s deposits into the account may be withdrawn.
10. Any withdrawal made from the Client’s account will result in the Bonus received by the Client being removed from the account in full. This applies to withdrawal of profits, rebates and/or deposits made by the Client.

For Example: If a Client deposits 300 USD into their approved bonus account he/ she will receive a fully tradeable bonus of a maximum of 450 USD. If the Client then withdraws 200 USD, the full amount of $450 will be removed from the Bonus received by the Client.

In the event of the bonus being removed from the account subsequent to a/any withdrawal as above, the user agrees that the Company will not be held liable for any losses that may be incurred as a result of the removal of the Bonus received by a Client due to a withdrawal

Please Note – The company does not allow a partial withdrawal of profits under any circumstances whatsoever. Clients are requested to please clarify the exact details of their account based on their account/bonus history to ensure they are fully familiar with this requirement before trading with the promotion.

11. The unrestricted withdrawal of all profits and deposits made in the account is possible once the total volume requirement for the bonus has been completed. The volume requirement is determined using the below formula “Total amount of bonus received / 8 = total number of standard lots required”. For example a client makes a deposit of $300 in their account and receives a bonus of $450(150%).

The total volume requirement shall be as follows

56. a)450(bonus amount) / 8 = 56.25standard lots This volume requirement has to be satisfied for the client to be able to withdraw the full equity in their account(including deposits and profits BUT EXCLUDING the bonus amount). Till the volume requirement is completed, the client cannot make any partial withdrawals.
57. b)Should the client wish to make a withdrawal in their account prior to the completion of the terms, or should the client wish to cancel a bonus already received before completing the terms, the client can request for the removal of the bonus from their account.c)Withdrawal of profits after expiry of bonus when the lot requirement under the terms of the bonus to withdraw the profits are not complete.In such a situation, the bonus amount originally credited to the client account shall be removed in full from the client account. Any profits made using the bonus, shall be cancelled in full along with the bonus, and any losses made while trading shall be deducted from the client’s deposit, in the event of such a withdrawal request/cancellation request.
    
    Please Note Value of 1 Standard lot for the promotion will be:

1 Standard Lot means either A) $100,000 notional value(US Dollars Hundred Thousand Only) or B) The notional value of the standard lot of the said product, as traded on the benchmark market (exchange, interbank ecn, alternative OTC trading venues and/or all/any alternative recognized trading venues).The notional value of the lot shall be the value that is higher when comparing A) and B)

13. Any Bonus amount received and/or removed/cancelled/written off previously counts towards the maximum cumulative Bonus amount, a client can avail.

14. The Bonus can only be applied to the account for which the bonus has been approved and bonus amounts received cannot be transferred between a Client’s trading accounts.
15. The deposit bonus promotion cannot be combined with any other promotion automatically in any given account. In case the client wishes to combine more than one promotion in one account, the client may make a request to the Customer Support Department in writing with full details of the combination they desire. The final decision on this matter rests with Capital Street FX, and we may in our sole discretion permit or decline such a request. The terms upon which multiple promotions may be combined will be decided and stated to the client in writing, should such an offer be made/accepted for a client account.
16. A Deposit bonus may be requested by a qualifying client for every deposit made into the account. Approval to credit/provide such bonus(es) is subject to the discretion of the company and there is no binding obligation upon the company to do so. In the event that multiple deposit bonuses are combined together over multiple deposits, the following terms shall apply
17. a)All bonus amounts credited shall be combined to calculate the total bonus availed/credited in the account.
18. b)The terms and requirements of all bonuses shall be cumulative – this means that the required trading volume, the bonus amount to be deducted from the final balance of the account at the time of any withdrawals/cancellation/forfeiture, as well as the bonus amount thresholds and conditions shall all be based upon the total amount of bonus funds credited to the account.
19. c)In case of cancellation of such combined bonuses, the full amount of the clubbed bonuses(the total amount received in bonuses over the deposits in question) shall be the deductible amount from the total ending balance of the account at the time of bonus cancellation.
20. d)The cancellation of profits and deduction of losses in cases where such a combined bonus is cancelled shall be based on the below formula

Ending Balance(balance at time of bonus cancellation) – Total Bonus Credited(combined amount) – Total Deposits – Net Profits/Losses Made With Bonus = Withdrawable Funds

For e.g (example 1)

User X makes the following deposits and receives corresponding bonuses on the said dates

Showing 1 to 4 of 4 entries

In the above example the client makes deposits and receives bonuses on 02/01 and 01/02 and combines the two bonuses together. There is a loss of deposit + trading funds between deposit 1 and deposit 2($250 loss) and then the client makes a new deposit and also gets a bonus on this deposit which is combined with the $450(bonus funds left over) from the first bonus. In this case the client’s volume requirement becomes a total of 56.25 + 562.5 lots to be completed before there can be any withdrawal of funds from the account(profits or deposit).

In the above example, the client makes a trading profit of $2000 on 15/02/2019 to bring the total account balance upto $8150. The client has traded 200 lots as an assumption at this time. In this case if the client wants to make a withdrawal, the amount available for withdrawal = 0, based on the below reasons.

618. a)Full trading volume Required = 75. Current trading volume = 200(less than the total required)
619. b)Total Starting Balance = 300 + 450 + 3000 + 4500= 825 Current Balance = 8150. Therefore Account is in loss

As a second example we take the same User X in a different position.

Showing 1 to 4 of 4 entries

Volume completed by User in this case = 500 lots

Withdrawable amount by user in this case = 0 and the reason for this is that the full volume is to be completed prior to the profit amount becoming available, even though the account is in an overall profit after adjusting for all deposit and bonus amounts.

In case the user wishes to cancel the bonus before completing the full volume, the withdrawable amount would be as follows

18000(ending balance) – 11000(full bonus amount from bonus 1 and 2) – 7337(total deposits) – 337(net loss resulting from 1000 loss in bonus 1 and $663 profit in bonus 2) = -674

17. If the Company suspects or has reason to believe that a Client has abused the Terms and Conditions of this Bonus Program or has used any of the prohibited trading strategies (or abusing the bonus using other trading accounts held with Company) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers), or using any other combination that offers the client a risk-lesstrading opportunity, then the Company reserves the right, at its absolute discretion and without obtaining the Client’s consent, to remove the Bonus from the Client’s trading account(s) or from his profitable accounts with immediate effect. All profits made from such trading activity shall also be removed from the client account along with the bonus funds. Any losses made in the account(s) shall be deducted from the client’s funds on deposit.

Under the terms of the promotion, trading strategies including, but not limited to the below are strictly prohibited:

1. Scalping; Scalping refers to a trading style characterized by short trade durations and small price movements. As a general rule, trades that are closed within 0 to 30minutes and/or result in a 0 to 20 pip price movement are considered scalping trades.
   (Reference: Investopedia – Forex Scalping)

The classification of an account as a scalping account will depend on the proportion of trades falling within the scalping criteria:

• If a large proportionof trades (>20%) meet the scalping definition, the standard filter of 20 pips and 30 minutes will be applied.
• If a significant proportion(>10% and ≤20%) of trades qualify, a median filter of 10 pips and 15 minutes will be used.

• If only a small proportion(≤10%) of trades fall under the scalping definition, then the following minimum criteria will apply to filter scalping trades, subject to Capital Street FX’s discretion:

• Trade duration of less than 320 seconds, and
• Price movement of less than 5.5 to 6 pips(adjusted for the applicable spread).

Capital Street FX reserves the right to assess trade behavior holistically, including trade frequency, timing (e.g., around news releases), low profit/loss patterns, and volume spikes when determining if the account activity constitutes scalping.

• scalping involves buying and selling currencies, typically with a brief holding time and with multiple trades taken each day.

• scalpers keep risk small in an attempt to capture small price movements for a profit. The small price movements can become significant amounts of money with leverage and large position sizes.

• scalpers typically use promotional forex accounts, as using a normal account will put them at a disadvantage.

• leverage, spreads, fees, and slippage are all risks that the scalper needs to control, manage, and account for as much as possible.
