      • When the Client clicks the «Call» or «Put» button in the Trading Terminal, the parameters of the Trading Operation defined by the Client are fixed and transferred to the Company’s Trading Server.

The fixed margin amount and the payout for the execution of this trade contract are transferred to the Client’s Trading Account in accordance with the value indicated in the Client’s Trading Terminal at the moment when he/she uses the «Call» button.
          - if the closing price of the contract is less than the opening price of the contract (in a strict compliance, Popening > Pclosing), then such contract is considered unfulfilled. A withdrawal of a fixed margin amount from the Client’s Trading Account is initiated.
        • For a «Put» type contract:
          - if the closing price of this contract is less than the opening price of the contract (in a strict compliance, Popening > Pclosing), then such contract is considered to be executed.
