Legal
Terms of Service
The agreement between you and Helvetia Markets AG.
Last updated: 1 August 2026
1. Eligibility and account opening
Accounts are available to individuals aged 18 or over and to legal entities that pass our onboarding checks.
We may decline or close an account where required by law or where verification cannot be completed.
2. Orders and execution
Orders are executed under our published execution policy. Prices are indicative until a fill is confirmed.
We may reject or amend an order where a manifest error, market disruption or risk-limit breach occurs.
3. Margin and liquidation
You must maintain the required margin at all times. Positions may be closed without notice below the liquidation threshold.
Retail clients benefit from negative balance protection; professional clients do not.
4. Fees and financing
Spreads, commissions and overnight financing are published on the account types page and may change with notice.
Currency conversion applies to positions denominated outside your base currency.
5. Liability and termination
We are liable for direct losses caused by our gross negligence, and not for indirect or consequential loss.
Either party may terminate the relationship with written notice; open positions must be settled first.
