Reminder about Specification Table changes concerning Cryptocurrencies
Dear Client,
As we already informed you via email, we would like to remind you about amendments in Specification Table that come into force on 20 August 2017.
Instrument Name Nominal value Minimum order Minimum transaction Maximum order
of one Lot size in Lots steps in Lots size in Lots
ETHUSD ETH 1 1 1 500
XRPUSD XRP1 1000 1000 500000
LTCUSD LTC 1 10 10 5000
DSHUSD DSH 1 1 1 500
Due to the changes in Nominal value of one Lot for cryptocurrenciess, all positions in ETHUSD, XRPUSD, LTCUSD and DSHUSD which will remain open after Friday the 18 th August 2017 market closure have to be adjusted. XTB will perform a technical operation: those positions on your account number will be closed with the result of 0. All other parameters of these positions will be also set to 0. At the same time new positions will be opened in their place with the same parameters but new lot number. The opening prices, swaps and P/L will therefore remain the same and the only thing which will change will be transaction ID, lots numbers and the opening date.
This operation will have only technical impact on your account however if you don’t want to experience any changes you can close all of the cryptocurrency positions in ETHUSD, XRPUSD, LTCUSD and DSHUSDbeforehand. All positions which will be closed by the end of trading day on Friday the 18th August 2017, will remain unchanged.
Should you have any question do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
XTB Team
