What happens if I do not close my account in time?
If you do not close your account, we will start the termination process on the termination date mentioned in the notification:
- Your access to the account will be restricted and/or revoked.
- Open and tradable positions will be closed by us at market prices (unless otherwise mentioned in the notification). Depending on the position/liquidity this may take a few days.
- Delisted and other non-tradable positions will remain on the account.
- Any cash from the sale of positions will be booked in the account, where it will remain until we receive further instructions.
What if I have requested my positions to be transferred out?
If we have received instructions to transfer your positions to a new broker, but have not been able to complete the transfer, we will not close the positions.
