How Trading 212 works

the Company is the sole Execution Venue for the execution of all Clients’ orders. Moreover, when the Company executes Clients’ orders, it may in turn route its own orders to regulated third-party EU financial institutions.

Our charges may be incorporated as a mark‐up or mark‐down (the difference between the price at which we take a principal position and the transaction execution price with you). Our price quote in many markets already includes our spread and there will be no additional fees or commissions due from you.

“Scalping” means a speculative type of trading where the opening and closing of a position is executed within a very short timeframe (e.g. five minutes or less);

20.1.6.1. Market abuse (such as an insider trading or an abusive use of confidential information) or any similar practices which may qualify as market abuse; 20.1.6.2. Scalping;

We provide retail CFD clients with negative balance protection on their accounts.

Potential Conflicts

Trading 212 UK Limited will internalise some orders and execute them outside of a trading venue. As our current third party broker does not offer a fractional share solution Trading 212 UK has decided to execute those orders over-the-counter so that it can provide this product to its clients. Some of the regular share dealing order traffic will be executed over-the-counter as well to make the 0 commission service sustainable.

Trading 212 UK Limited has reached an agreement with its sister company Trading 212 Limited for liquidity provision for both those over-the-counter services.
