Risks related to trading on Tradegate Exchange:
- Orders sent to Tradegate Exchange may not meet all requirements for best execution. But it depends, e.g., on the specific product, time and volume you want to trade.
- MiFID's best execution regime requires investment firms to take all reasonable steps to obtain the best possible result for their clients, considering price, costs, speed, likelihood of execution and settlement, size, nature or any other consideration relevant to the execution of the order. The price-quality outcome is the main factor to evaluate the best execution.
- On Tradegate Exchange, the spread between the bid and ask price of a stock can be higher than on other exchanges. This means that you may pay indirectly more or receive less money when you buy or sell a security.
- Trading volumes on Tradegate Exchange can vary significantly, which directly impacts the liquidity and volatility.
- Liquidity is the extent to which securities can be bought or sold quickly in the market without significantly affecting the price.
- Volatility refers to changes in the price of a security over the course of time.
- Due to relatively lower trading volumes and potential wider spreads on Tradegate Exchange compared to reference exchanges, price behavior can be more volatile.
- Due to the lack of reference prices, spread costs may be higher outside trading hours.
* Please be aware that Tradegate Exchange reserves the right to delist securities at any time without prior notice. In the event of a delisting, you may be unable to close your position via Tradegate and could be required to transfer your holdings to a primary exchange at your own expense to regain tradability.
* Processing times for corporate actions (such as mergers, stock splits, or dividends) on Tradegate are often significantly longer than on primary markets. This may result in an extended 'lock-up' period during which your assets are temporarily unavailable for trading.
* Subscription rights (claims) received through a corporate action on Tradegate are rarely tradable on their platform. Unlike primary exchanges, Tradegate often lacks a liquid market for these rights, meaning you may only be able to exercise them or let them expire, rather than selling them on the open market.
