Choose your position accounting model

Netting and hedging accounts for efficient trading.

  • Netting

    The netting model allows you to open only one position in a trading instrument. Any attempt to open another order in the same instrument will result in the closure of both transactions, change in the volume of the existing position, or reverse of the existing position in the opposite direction.

  • Hedging

    The hedging model allows you to open several positions on the same instrument in different directions, when there is sufficient margin for opening and maintaining them.

You can choose from the netting and hedging position accounting models when opening a new account on R StocksTrader platform.

  • Which corporate actions are available on the platform when trading stocks?

    Long Positions

    A client holding a short position on the ex-dividend date will be charged the applicable dividend in the form of a cash adjustment that is debited from the relevant trading accounts free equity. The transaction can be found in the History Tab on the client’s trading platform - "Cash Corrections".

    Dividends procedure
    Cash dividend transactions debit/credit account balance on ex-dividend day at 15:00 server time. The transaction can be found in the History tab.

    In case of a Long position, the Cash Dividend amount is:

    Dividend per stock * Volume

    where:
    Volume = Contracts * Contract size

    In case of a Short Position, the Cash Dividend amount is:

    (-1) * Dividend per stock * Volume

    where:
    Volume = Contracts * Contract size

    In the event of a stock split, the appropriate adjustment on the client’s position shall be reflected on the trading account in accordance with the announced stock split.

    The Splits procedure runs on the server every day at 15:00 server time. During the procedure all active pending orders (Limit, Stop) for related stock are removed.

    Weighted average price and sum volume are calculated separately for all open deals in short and all open deals in long positions of an instrument. They are assigned as new open price and new volume for the deal, with maximum volume for long and short deals accordingly. In case a deal receives fractional shares, such shares will be liquidated for cash transaction – "Split cash correction". The volume of other deals for related instrument will be reset to 0 and moved to the History tab.

    RoboMarkets bears no responsibility for notifying the client regarding announcements of corporate actions.

  • Is it possible to transfer positions in stocks opened with a third-party broker?

    The procedure of transferring positions in stocks traded on US markets is not standard and depends on conditions of parties. If you want to transfer positions that were opened with some other broker, you have to:

    1. Send a ticket from the “R StocksTrader” section of your Members Area, by specifying the full name of the clearing house where your stocks are kept.
    2. Attach a copy of the account statement where your positions were opened.
    3. Provide a legally relevant document confirming that the positions you want to transfer bear no burden.

    All above-mentioned documents can be requested from the broker where you are holding open positions.

    The procedure can only be performed if the total value of the stock portfolio to be transferred is more than 10,000 USD. RoboMarkets charges no fees for the stock transfer, but the procedure itself may require some particular expenses. These depend on conditions of clearing houses and other participants in the process. The final cost of the transfer that includes all expenses may be defined only before the start of the procedure.

  • What are fractional shares and their trading rules?

    The Company offers investments in fractional shares. Fractional shares allow you to purchase proprietary rights on stocks based on the number of funds you are prepared to invest in a specific Issuer. The Company records the number of fractional shares down to two decimal places.

    A fractional share is a proprietary right to a percentage of equity in the Issuer, but this is not a whole share.

    In general, the same rules and principles apply to a fractional share and a whole share. Please find details below.

    Fractional vs whole share: a comparative analysis

    Fractional shareWhole share
    DividendsFollowing a corporate event, dividends or interest are paid proportionally to the percentage represented by the proprietary right held by the client in the share. This means that the client investing in fractional shares has the same financial benefits as the owner of whole shares but on a proportionate basis.Dividends or interest, following a corporate event, are paid per share.
    Corporate ActionsCorporate actions (e.g. splits, rights issues) are treated same way either for whole or fractional shares.
    CustodyWe hold shares on custodian, both fractional and whole, in full compliance with the requirement of the MiFID II.
    PriceThere is no difference in price or costs of buying a fractional or a whole share.
    Client protectionWe apply the same rules for the testing of clients' appropriateness, best execution, protection of assets, and handling complaints – treating all clients in the same way, regardless if they invest in fractional or whole shares.
    Voting RightsClients will have voting right only on the whole shares held in their account, not on fractional shares. For example, if the client has bought 1,000.5 shares, the voting right will only be provided on 1,000 shares.
    Transfer of sharesIn case the client claims for transfer of stocks held on account, only whole shares will be transferred. Fractional shareholdings will need to be liquidated before the transfer.
    DecimalsThe amounts of fractional shares have a 0.01 discretion.

    Risks
    Fractional shares carry the same exposure to risks as whole shares, such as market and Issuer risks.
