not available on E-Trade)
Unpriced Order: An order to buy or sell a stock immediately
at the best available current price. If the unpriced order cannot be

E-Trade)

Market Manipulation:

limits. If you believe that the order is within the daily trading
limit please contact one of our brokers in order to resume the order.
You may modify or cancel the order at any time subject to the rules
and regulations of the respective market. If the order is not
cancelled or has not expired it shall be considered to be in good
order and may be executed without giving you any prior notice that
the order is no longer suspended.

hours), not only during the Market Trading Sessions. Any order placed
when the Market Trading Session is closed, will automatically be
carried forward and queued for placement for the next Market Trading

Inherent Risks of Market Trading: The Customer accepts that the
price of Securities can and does fluctuate and any individual
security may experience upward or downward movements and even become
valueless. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred
rather than profit as a result of buying and selling Securities.
Securities purchased may become incapable of being sold. Investments
should be made in light of careful analysis and only to the extent an
investor can reasonably afford. The Customer must assure himself of
his Broker's honesty and competence otherwise the Customer risks his
investment being made inappropriately or even that they may be
misappropriated and he may not get back the full amount originally
invested.
