Public accounts

Public accounts

The section is created to manage public accounts for clients. A public account can be created both from the admin terminal and by the client from the client terminal.

The subscription fee for a public account is deducted in advance from the client's account from which the subscription is made. The fee is credited to the commission account, which is automatically created by the system for the public trader when the public account is created.

Please note! When subscribing, market orders will be placed on the trading account to match the public account, regardless of its current P/L.

The operation mechanism of subscription to public accounts in relation to the client terminal

If there is no position for the instrument in the subscription, synchronization does not occur.

If the client has an existing position, it will be closed.

If there is a position on the public account, the position will be opened.

  • For synchronization, the system checks the instrument's availability and market session status.
  • If the instrument is unavailable, the user is notified. Resubscription is possible only after stopping or fully unsubscribing and then re-subscribing.
  • If the session is offline, the order will be placed one minute after the session starts.
  • The order remains active for 20 seconds; if not executed:
    • Multiple execution attempts are made, following the logic outlined for the client terminal.
  • If an order is canceled due to insufficient margin or currency required for the subscription (in the case of non-margin accounts), the subscription will be paused.
    • When the order reaches a final status (other than executed), retry attempts are made, and the client receives a notification about the instrument's unavailability.
    • If the order is not executed within 20 seconds, a cancellation request is sent, and the system waits for 10 seconds:
      • If the order receives a final status (other than executed), retry attempts are made, followed by a notification to the client.
      • If the order remains active, the instrument is marked as unavailable, and the client is notified.
      • Once the order is executed, the instrument becomes available for synchronization.
