16. Hedging Policy: Guidelines and Prohibitions
In adherence to the Otet Group Ltd Client Agreement, our hedging policy is established to provide clear directives and prohibitions regarding hedging activities within our trading environment. Hedging, the practice of maintaining both long and short positions on the same financial instrument concurrently, is permitted as a trading strategy for clients. This approach offers investors flexibility in managing their investment portfolios and mitigating market risks effectively. However, it is imperative for clients to recognize that hedging with the intent of exploiting price discrepancies or engaging in spread arbitrage is strictly forbidden within our trading ecosystem. Any attempt to do so undermines market integrity and may lead to the immediate closure of the client's account.
Moreover, clients are explicitly advised against participating in hedging activities across multiple Otet Group Ltd accounts or with other similar evaluation firms. Group hedging, the practice of executing opposing trades on the same asset across multiple accounts simultaneously, is expressly prohibited within our trading environment. While this tactic may seek to capitalize on price fluctuations while minimizing market risk, it conflicts with our commitment to fair and transparent trading practices. Therefore, clients are urged to comply with these guidelines to uphold a level playing field for all participants and preserve the integrity of our trading ecosystem.
In accordance with the Otet Group Ltd Client Agreement, adherence to the established hedging policy is essential for maintaining a fair and transparent trading environment. Any violations of these guidelines will be subject to stringent disciplinary actions, including the potential closure of the client's account. We encourage all clients to familiarize themselves with our hedging policy and adhere to its provisions to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and uphold the integrity of our trading platform.
17. Prohibition of Latency Trading in Otet Group Ltd Client Agreement
The Otet Group Ltd Client Agreement unequivocally prohibits latency trading, an act that exploits delays in trade execution to gain unfair advantages in the market. Recognizing that such practices undermine the fundamental principles of fair and transparent trading, Otet Group Ltd strictly prohibits any activities associated with latency trading within its trading environment. This includes trading on delayed charts and the utilization of delayed data feeds, which provide traders with an unfair advantage over others. By engaging in latency trading, traders create artificial buying or selling pressure, distorting market prices and disrupting the natural balance of supply and demand.
Otet Group Ltd is steadfast in its commitment to maintaining a level playing field for all traders and upholding the integrity of financial markets. Any violation of the prohibition on latency trading outlined in the Client Agreement will be met with stringent disciplinary measures. These measures may include account termination and legal action to ensure compliance and preserve market fairness. Through these actions, Otet Group Ltd reaffirms its dedication to transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness in the financial markets.
Furthermore, Otet Group Ltd continually monitors trading activities to detect and prevent any attempts at latency trading or other unfair practices. Our dedicated team of compliance professionals employs advanced monitoring tools and surveillance techniques to ensure that all trading activities adhere to the highest standards of integrity and compliance. Additionally, we provide ongoing education and training to our clients to raise awareness about the risks associated with latency trading and the importance of ethical trading practices. By fostering a culture of compliance and ethical conduct, Otet Group Ltd aims to promote a fair and transparent trading environment where all participants can trade with confidence and trust in the integrity of the market.

Measures to prevent or control the exchange of information between relevant persons engaged in activities involving a risk of a conflict of interest (ex: Ethical walls)
Separate supervision of relevant persons whose principal functions involve carrying out activities on behalf of, or providing services to, clients whose interests may conflict, or who otherwise represent different interests that may conflict, including those of the Company.

fully engage in the implementation of policies, procedures and arrangements for the identification, management and ongoing monitoring of conflicts of interest;
adopt a holistic view to ensure the identification of potential and emerging conflicts within and across business lines and to ensure that informed judgements are made with respect to materiality;
raise awareness and ensure compliance of relevant individuals by ensuring: regular training (including to contractors and third-party service providers’ staff) both at induction and in the form of refresher training; the clear communication of policies, procedures and expectations; that awareness of conflicts procedures forms part of the performance review/appraisal process, and that the best practice is shared throughout the Company.

utilise management information to remain sufficiently up-to-date and informed; and
support an independent review of the processes and procedures in place.
4. Ethical walls
The Company has constructed adequate Ethical Walls, in accordance with the legal requirements between its departments and has established clear lines of responsibility, in order to avoid the flow of information held by a person in the course of carrying out a part of its business to be withheld from or used by persons who are in the process of carrying out another part of its business.In particular, barriers have been established in order the flow of information is restricted between employees, access has been limited in relation to information and documentation and communication has been restricted between certain employees during the course of carrying out their parts of business.
5. Disclosure of conflict of interest
When the measures taken by the Company to manage conflicts of interest are not sufficient to ensure, with reasonable confidence, that the risk of damage to clients’ interests will be prevented, the Company will disclose the conflicts of interest to the client in order to prevent a risk of damage to clients’ interests. Prior to carrying out a transaction or providing an investment or an ancillary service to a client, the Company must disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest. The disclosure will be in sufficient time, in a durable means.
6. Reporting Conflicts of Interest

any conditions imposed; and
whether there are still ongoing conflicts, how these are being managed and advised to the client
