| TWAP | Executes trades evenly over a specified time period to minimise market impact. |
| Limit Order | Sets a predetermined price for buying or selling. Executed only at or better than the specified price. |

FAQs
1. What is pre-funding? Pre-funding means showing sufficient funds in your Hex Trust custody account before trade execution. Alternatively, you can transfer funds to HT Markets collection accounts as per your agreement prior to execution. We cannot execute any order without confirmed pre-fund.
2. What are the trading fees? Please refer to the Fee Guidance Note shared in this trading chat — it is updated regularly. There is no minimum trade size, but a minimum fee applies per transaction. For FIAT transfers, bank charges are the sender's responsibility.
3. Can I deposit a token on a network not listed here? Not automatically. We support a wide range of tokens and networks but the two don't always overlap. For tokens we only hold on specific networks, or tokens settled via our exchange accounts, contact us before sending — we'll confirm whether we support that combination and provide the right address if needed.
4. How do I whitelist a bank account or wallet address? FIAT settlements are only processed to and from bank accounts held under the name of the onboarded company or individual as per your agreement. We do not process third-party payments. Send your bank account or wallet address details to clients@hextrust.com. Whitelisting normally takes 1 business day.
5. How do I update the authorised traders on my account? Contact clients@hextrust.com to add or remove authorised traders. Only individuals on the approved list may place orders via the trading chat.
6. Is my confirmed trade reversible? No. Once you confirm execution of a trade, it is irreversible. Please review all order details carefully before confirming.
