What are CFDs ?
Contracts for difference (CFDs), also known as derivative products, enable the trader to profit from price movement without owning the underlying asset (such as indices, shares and commodities).
A CFD is is an agreement between an investor/trader and a CFD broker to exchange the difference in the value of a financial product between the time the contract opens and closes. CFDs can be traded on a leverage, meaning that traders need only deposit a small percentage of the full value of the trade in order to open a position. This is concept is known as ‘trading on margin’. While trading on margin gives the opportunityto magnify returns, losses will also be magnified and may result in losing all capital deposited or maybe even lower (negative balance).
Advantages of CFDs
> Easy access to thousands of underlying assets
> Lower cost than buying the asset outright,
> Ability to BUY or SELL
> Trade on leverage
> Instant transaction
> Ease of execution

What is a STP&NDD Broker?
What Is Straight-Through Processing (STP)?
Straight-through processing (STP) is a fully automated electronic payment process which allows for the entire payment process, from initiation to final settlement, to be free of human intervention. Straight-through processing can help businesses pay and receive money significantly faster than the traditional process.
What is a No Dealing Desk (NDD) Broker?
A No Dealing Desk Broker offers a trading platform that provides unfiltered access to interbank market rates of exchange. In contrast to Dealing Desk or Market Making brokers, NDD brokers offer what is known as Straight-Through Processing (STP) execution of forex trades.
How a No Dealing Desk (NDD) Broker Works
No Dealing Desk Investment brokers work directly with market liquidity providers. When trading through a no dealing desk, instead of dealing with one liquidity provider, an investor is dealing with numerous providers to get the most competitive bid and ask prices. An investor using this method has access to instantly executable rates.
The way an NDD broker makes money for services offered, an exchange fee or a commission is added on the spread, which is passed through to the customer.

Transferable securities refer to classes of securities negotiable on the capital markets but excluding instruments of payment. These financial instruments are negotiable on the capital markets when they are capable of being traded on the capital markets.
A Share in a company is a unit of ownership that makes the holder of the share eligible for a percentage of any profits the company makes. If the company in question had a share issue of 1,000 shares and you owned 100 of these, then you would effectively own 10% of that company which would entitle you to 10% of any declared profits, payable as dividends.
Companies issue shares in two forms: Common and Preferred. The main difference between the two types is that holders of Preferred Shares have first access to any corporate assets in the event the company faces any financial difficulties. Preferred shares also are non-voting, meaning holders have no voting rights and no say in the running of the company.
Share prices are effected by various factors, including supply and demand, company earnings, performance expectations (for example, Apple releasing a new iPhone – a reasonable expectation would be to see a rise in the price of Apple stock) and market news, particularly analyst expectations.
As money became a commodity, the money market became a component of the financial market for assets involved in short-term borrowing, lending, buying and selling with original maturities of one year or less. Trading in money markets is done over the counter and is wholesale.
There are many money market instruments in most Western countries, including treasury bills, commercial paper, banker's acceptances, deposits, certificates of deposit, bills of exchange, repurchase agreements, federal funds, and short-lived mortgage- and asset-backed securities.
Money markets provide liquidity for the global financial system including capital markets and they are part of the broader system of financial markets.
An instrument is only a money market instrument if it also meets the following conditions:
> it has a value that can be determined at any time
> they are not derivatives
> it has a maturity at issuance of 397 days or less
A CFD or Contract for Difference is an agreement between two parties to the trade (Buyer and Seller) to exchange the difference in value between the opening and closing price for a particular asset.
Trade opening price would be the price in effect at the moment the agreement is made at while the closing price would be the price at which the agreement is executed.
Essentially trading CFDs boils down to a contract between yourself as a Client and the market. You open a trade by purchasing a contract for a particular asset and close the trade by selling the contract back to the market, hopefully making a profit in the process.
CFDs don’t necessarily have to be on the Buy side. As with all trades, you can open a CFD trade on the sell side. The principle remains the same. Buying the contract back from the market to close the trade would hopefully result in profit.

Segregated Bank Accounts
Segregated bank accounts are accounts meant to hold the funds of a customer separated from the funds of a Forex Broker or any Investment Brokerage company, in the best interest of the customer’s security of funds.
Emporium Capital strictly stores client funds in their own dedicated client bank account, meaning these funds are completely separated from our company’s bank account.
The purpose of these segregated accounts is to assure our valued clients that their funds can never be misappropriated and ensures that their funds are clearly identified as belonging them and can not be interfered with under any circumstance. For example, if a company went bankrupt, client funds held in segregated bank accounts, would remain completely safe!

Best Order Execution
Tight Spreads | Low Commisions
Best Execution Policy
The Best Execution Policy refers to MiFID provisions relating to investment firms’ obligation to provide best execution, or obtain the best possible result, for their clients when executing their orders.
Emporium Capital offers a proprietary computerized routing algorithm which is designed to optimize both speed and price of execution by continuously scanning competing execution venues and automatically seeking to route the order to the best venue. Clients may select this routing based upon two criteria, the first being the most favourable price, and the second the most favourable price after taking into consideration execution costs.
Emporium Capital also gives the opportunity to clients to directly route their order to the order book of a particular venue of their choice.
In either case, Emporium Capital follows the guidelines as per its “best execution” policy.
Download the PDF Document » here
Emporium Capital provides clients with direct access to a number of execution venues which have been selected based upon the level of relevance they maintain within their particular region in addition to factors such as product breadth, liquidity, electronic access, costs,speed and likelihood of settlement.
These considerations, in the aggregate, are intended to provide a range of execution venues most likely to provide clients with best executions. While these venues will typically fall into the classification of Regulated Markets, they may also include other exchanges, Multilateral Trading Facilities, Systemic Internalisers, and third-party investment firms, brokers and/or affiliates acting as a market maker or liquidity provider.
Emporium Capital will monitor the effectiveness of this order execution policy to identify and, when applicable, correct any deficiencies. A review of the policy will be conducted at least annually or whenever a material change takes place to ensure that client orders continue to obtain the best possible results. We will notify clients of any material changes to this order execution policy.
It should be noted that Emporium Capital cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that every Retail client order will be executed at the best posted price.
Among other things:
(a) EC may not have access to every market at which a particular product may trade;
(b) other orders may trade ahead of a client’s order and exhaust available volume at a posted price;
(c) execution venues or market makers may fail to honor their posted prices;
(d) execution venues may re-route client orders out of automated execution systems for manual handling (in which case, execution or representation of a client’s order may be substantially delayed); or
(e) execution venue Rules or decisions or systems delays or failures may prevent a client’s order from being executed, may cause a delay in the execution of a client’s order, or may cause a Retail client’s order not to be executed at the best posted price.

Margin & Leverage
Magnifies gains but beware!
Margin / Leverage Trading
A Margin trading account allows an investor to use the current funds in their account as collateral for a loan. To "buy/trade on margin" means to use money borrowed from a broker to purchase a financial asset.
Traders use margin account to create leverage in the hopes of amplifying gains. Leverage is the increased “trading power” that is available when using a margin account.
Leverage allows you to trade positions "larger" than the amount of money in your trading account and it is expressed as the ratio between the amount of money you really have and the amount of money you can trade.
For instance, if you wanted to trade one standard lot of USD/JPY without margin, you would need $100,000 in your account.
With a margin requirement of only 1%, you would only need to deposit $1,000 in your account. The leverage provided for this trade would be 100:1.
Trading on leverage (conferred by margin) can amplify both gains and losses. Responsible trading is highly advised and only to be used by traders with sufficient knowledge of the financial markets.
