*Spread rates are fixed and will only widen in rare occurrences such as:

  • Central bank rate decisions (ECB, FED, BOE; BOJ etc).
  • Monetary policy decisions (FOMC meetings etc).
  • Unexpected events leading to extremely volatile market conditions.
  • Extremely volatile market conditions.
  • Extremely illiquid market conditions (public holidays etc.)

In order to reflect on the real market dynamics ACM broadcasts factual spreads receivable from our liquidity providers. Our systems are conceived to choose and transmit the best prices available to us from our partner banks. However, high market volatility caused by lasting macroeconomic effects may cause our counterparties to quote larger-then-normal spreads on non-RFQ systems, causing ACM to adapt to this environment in real time.

**These pairs can be traded live from 9h00 - 21h00 CET. Outside this time; limit/stop orders and margin requirements are being monitored.
We accept no responsibilities for price slippage between the close and open prices on the next days trading.

***USDMXN can be traded live from 14h30 - 21h00 CET.

****At ACM a standard account is an account set up with margin funds between 5'000 and 50'000 USD or equivalent amount in a different currency base account (ACM supports USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, AUD & JPY). Over this level of funding, the account belongs to the institutional category of accounts and benefits accordingly from tighter spreads.

Account categories at ACM cannot be changed because of profits or losses. Therefore a client holder of a standard account cannot graduate to an institutional account because he has generated profits that take him through the 50'000 USD mark just as an institutional account holder will not be switched over to standard pricing if his equity falls underneath 50'000 USD because of any losses he may have incurred.

Only original and additional account funding defines if a customer has a standard or an institutional account.
