Market Abuse Policy

1. Purpose & Scope

This Market Abuse Policy sets out the trading practices prohibited on APEXTRADE and how we detect, prevent, and act on market abuse. It applies to every user placing orders on our platform and supplements our Terms & Conditions and Order Execution Policy.

2. Prohibited Practices

The following practices are strictly prohibited on our platform:

  • Wash trading — buying and selling the same asset to create a false or misleading impression of trading volume or price;
  • Spoofing and layering — placing orders with the intention of cancelling them before execution to manipulate price or create false market depth;
  • Pump‑and‑dump schemes — coordinating with others to artificially inflate the price of an asset in order to sell at the inflated price;
  • Quote stuffing — submitting large numbers of orders in rapid succession to disrupt or slow the platform for other users;
  • Front‑running — trading ahead of information you know will affect price, where you obtained that information improperly; and
  • any other conduct intended to distort the fair and orderly operation of our order book or pricing.

3. Detection & Surveillance

We use automated surveillance tools and manual review to monitor trading activity for patterns consistent with market abuse, including abnormal order‑cancellation ratios, coordinated trading across accounts, and price or volume anomalies. Flagged activity may result in an order being rejected, a trade being reviewed, or an account being restricted pending investigation.

4. Consequences

Users found to have engaged in market abuse may have affected orders cancelled or unwound, their account suspended or closed, and — where applicable — the matter reported to GIIF, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), or other competent authorities. We may also pursue recovery of any resulting loss to APEXTRADE or other users to the extent permitted by law.

5. User Obligations

You agree to trade on APEXTRADE in good faith and not to engage in, facilitate, or coordinate with others to engage in any of the practices described in Section 2, whether manually or through automated trading tools, bots, or multiple accounts.

6. No Investment Advice

This Policy governs trading conduct only. It does not constitute investment advice, and does not guarantee that market prices on our platform will be free from volatility caused by external market conditions outside anyone's control.

7. How to Report Suspected Market Abuse

If you believe you have observed market abuse on our platform, contact us at info@tiontrade.com with details of the activity, including affected assets, approximate time, and any relevant order or transaction identifiers. We investigate all reports and treat them confidentially.

8. Policy Review

We review this Market Abuse Policy periodically and update it to reflect changes in law, market practice, and our own surveillance capabilities. The current version is always available on this page.
