Etiquette for Trading Operations via Telephone
When a client is unable to trade on the client terminal there is the option to trade via telephone. In this case the client may contact FXOpen by phone. The following information is required upon connecting with a dealer:
- Login number
- Phone password
* Knowledge and understanding of the Terms of Business is also required upon contacting a dealer via telephone.
- Example of proper procedure:
Dealer: “Hello, you have reached the FXOpen dealing operations.”
Client: “Hello, my name is Michael Doe, my login is 123456 and my telephone password is Doe.” *
Dealer: “Hi Michael Doe. How can I assist you today?”
*This information must be accurate in order to continue.
| - The conversation can be terminated if the client is silent for an unusual length of time (5 to 10 seconds).
- The client is responsible for conducting the telephone transaction in accordance with the procedures outlined in this document. Failure to adhere to these procedures may result in the termination of the transaction and client holds full responsibility for any and all trading requests prior to termination.
- If the confirmation hasn’t been received from Dealer due to low quality of the telephone connection or a transmission interruption in the middle of the conversation, the Client must repeat the telephone transaction again to get such a confirmation.
- The Company is not responsible for the quality of the telephone connection.
