3. Order Execution and Best Execution
We are committed to achieving the best possible results for our clients when executing orders. Our approach to order execution includes:
3.1 Execution Venues
Orders placed through our platform are routed to our execution partners, who execute them on recognized US exchanges and alternative trading systems. Execution venues may include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, CBOE, and other registered exchanges and electronic communication networks (ECNs). The specific venue for any given order is determined by our execution partners based on the best execution factors described below.
3.2 Best Execution Factors
When routing orders, our execution partners consider the following factors:
- Price of the security and total cost of execution
- Speed of execution and likelihood of execution at the quoted price
- Size and nature of the order
- Market conditions and available liquidity
- Settlement and clearing considerations
3.3 Order Types
We support various order types including market orders, limit orders, stop orders, and stop-limit orders. Each order type carries different execution characteristics and risks. Market orders are executed at the best available price but do not guarantee a specific price. Limit orders guarantee the price but do not guarantee execution. Please refer to our order types guide for detailed information.
3.4 Payment for Order Flow
Our execution partners may receive payment for order flow from market makers and other liquidity providers. Any such arrangements are subject to regulatory requirements and must not compromise best execution obligations to clients. Details of payment for order flow arrangements are available upon request.
4. Conflicts of Interest
We maintain a conflicts of interest policy to identify, prevent, and manage potential conflicts that could affect the quality of our Services. Key areas where conflicts may arise include:
- Revenue from Trading Activity: We earn commission revenue from client trades, which could create an incentive to encourage trading activity. We mitigate this by not providing investment advice or making trading recommendations
- Payment for Order Flow: Our execution partners may receive payment for order flow, which could create a conflict between order routing decisions and client interests. We require our partners to maintain best execution obligations
- AI-Generated Content: Our AI-powered analysis tools generate market insights that could be perceived as recommendations. We clearly disclose that all AI-generated content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice
- Social Trading: Featured or promoted traders on our social trading platform may create a perception of endorsement. We disclose that showcasing traders does not constitute a recommendation and that past performance does not predict future results
- Employee Trading: Our employees and affiliates may trade securities that are also traded by our clients. We maintain internal policies restricting employee trading and requiring disclosure of personal trading activity
- Third-Party Relationships: We have commercial relationships with third-party service providers. These relationships are disclosed in our Terms of Service and do not influence the content or advice we provide
5. Client Classification
In accordance with applicable financial services regulations, we classify our clients into the following categories:
- Retail Clients: Individual investors who are not professional or institutional clients. Retail clients receive the highest level of regulatory protection, including comprehensive risk disclosures, suitability assessments, and access to complaint resolution mechanisms
- Professional Clients: Clients who meet certain experience, knowledge, and financial thresholds as defined by applicable regulations. Professional clients may have access to different products, services, or pricing. Professional classification is available upon request and subject to assessment
By default, all individual account holders are classified as retail clients. You may request reclassification by contacting our compliance team, subject to meeting the applicable qualification criteria.
6. Client Asset Protection
Client funds and securities are safeguarded through the following measures:
- Segregation: Client assets are held in segregated accounts at our licensed intermediary partners, separate from our own operational funds. Client assets cannot be used for our business purposes
- SIPC Protection: Accounts held at our US-based execution and clearing partners are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $500,000 per customer, including $250,000 for cash claims. SIPC does not protect against market losses
- Custodian Oversight: Our intermediary partners are subject to regulatory capital requirements, regular audits, and regulatory oversight by the SEC, FINRA, and other applicable authorities
- No Commingling: Client funds are never commingled with our operating capital. We maintain strict separation between client assets and our corporate treasury
7. Complaints and Dispute Resolution
We are committed to resolving client complaints fairly, promptly, and transparently. Our complaint handling process is as follows:

8. Business Continuity
We maintain a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure that our Services remain available in the event of significant business disruptions. Our BCP addresses:
- Data center redundancy and geographic distribution
- Automated failover systems for critical platform components
