These examples are for reference only and shall not constitute any representation or warranty by us in respect of any possible gain or loss. You must not rely on them as any indication of the expected performance of any currency pair or precious metal. The following examples do not take into account any charges, expenses or commissions payable by you.
Illustrative Example 
Mr. Chow has HKD 25,000 cash available in his investment portfolio and he expects EUR exchange rate against HKD is on the down trend. Now, Mr. Chow deposits his HKD 25,000 to his FX2 collateral account for FX trading. Please note that collateral can be denominated in currencies other than HKD. He then opens a short position of EUR against HKD. Let’s assume the exchange rate of EUR/HKD is 10 at the moment, he sells EUR 2,500 which is equivalent to the collateral amount in HKD. Mr. Chow squares his position after 100 days.

In a situation where the exchange rate of EUR/HKD falls from 10 to 9, Mr. Chow will gain a profit. However, in a situation where the exchange rate of EUR/HKD rises from 10 to 11, Mr. Chow will suffer a loss.

Apart from the gain or loss derives from exchange rate fluctuation, accrued interest derived will also affect Mr. Chow’s total gain or loss. Let’s assume the interest rate remains unchanged. In both gain and loss situations, Mr. Chow has to pay 1.00% per annum when selling EUR and earns 0.50% per annum when buying HKD after 100 days.

All rollover interests and realized profit or loss will only be paid and received in USD only. Assume USDHKD = 7.8 at maturity. Assume the interest rate remains unchanged.

Factsheet Terms and Conditions

Risk Disclosure

Foreign exchange and precious metal trading involves a high degree of risk. You may sustain a substantial or even total loss of your initial collateral. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position of outstanding FX2 Trading Contracts. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit your loss at the designated price. In extreme circumstances whereby the market moves significantly against your positions, you may be required to make additional deposits or interest payments within a short period of time to maintain your positions. If you fail to provide the required deposits or interest payments immediately, your positions under all outstanding FX2 Trading Contracts may be closed out without prior notice. You should therefore carefully consider if foreign exchange and precious metal trading is suitable for you in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.

Renminbi (“RMB”) is subject to foreign exchange control by the PRC government. If your FX2 Trading Contract involves offshore RMB, you will be subject to foreign control and currency risks of RMB.

Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other trading systems or platforms. You will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software, which could result in your order not being executed according to your instructions or at all.
