Tight Spreads
Traders receive a spread of four pips on the EUR/USD pair and a spread of five pips on the other major
currency pairs (USD/YEN, USD/CHF, and GBP/USD). In addition CristalTimes provides competitive spreads on
17 currency pairs, including USD/CAD and AUD/USD. The spreads accurately reflect where CristalTimes is
willing to trade. During non-peak trading hours when the market is less liquid, CristalTimes still maintains 4-5
pip spreads.
Fast Trade Execution
Dealers respond to orders in 3 to 7 seconds on average. Under extremely heavy market conditions, the
average response time is under 30 seconds. CristalTimes realizes that delayed responses can adversely affect
trader's profitability. By consistently and quickly responding to orders, CristalTimes minimizes the effects of
factors other than your trading acumen and market conditions affecting profitability. Clients may also
take advantage of contacting the dealing desk via telephone for a two-way quote and split second
execution.
Segregated Accounts
All deposits are maintained in accounts at Citibank and Fleet Bank. At the client's request, accounts
that maintain a $TBA minimum balance may be held in segregated escrow accounts under the client's
name, and the client receives monthly statements directly from the bank. This feature provides our
clients with absolute protection of their funds in the unlikely event of CristalTimes's bankruptcy.
1% Percent Margin Day or Night
Clients must maintain $TBA in the account for each lot of currency being traded. This amount does not
change after 5:00 PM EST, which is the rollover cut off, but stays constant at $TBA per lot the entire
day and overnight. One lot is valued at approximately $TBA. There is also an important safety feature
imbedded in this system, which prevents the clients from losing more money than they have in the
account. Once the account falls below $TBA per lot, all positions are closed, and this acts as a final
stop for those that have not set stop-loss orders to close losing positions.
Live Position and P&L Tracking
Clients can see the value of their positions and account equity move up and down with the market in
real-time manner using CristalTimes's innovative trading platform. When trading with CristalTimes, the
client never has to approximate account equity or be uncertain in regards to available margin.
Responsive Client Service
CristalTimes handles all standard procedures such as account openings, deposits and withdrawals, within one
business day. If clients have any questions or need clarification, members of CristalTimes's friendly and
professional support staff are available from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. In addition the
CristalTimes dealing desk is manned 24-hours a day from Sunday at 7:00 PM EST through Friday at 3:00 PM
EST.
