Terms & Conditions Recently Updated
These Terms & Conditions have been revised with new sections covering Casino Gaming, Lottery, Prediction Markets, Marketplace, Referral Program, and Hedge Funds. Please read all sections carefully before accepting.
1
Platform Disclaimer
This trading platform is operated by Farr Holdings & Finance as the Capital Trading Exchange (CTX) platform. By using this platform, you acknowledge that all trading activity is conducted at your own discretion and risk.
Clem Farr, Farr Holdings & Finance, and the CTX platform are not responsible for any money lost through trading activity on this platform. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and their outcomes.
2
Fees & Charges
2.1 Bid-Ask Spread (0.5%)
All trades on this platform are subject to a 0.5% bid-ask spread. This means:
- When buying, you pay the "ask" price (0.25% above market price)
- When selling, you receive the "bid" price (0.25% below market price)
- This spread applies to all stocks, cryptocurrencies, and options trades
- The spread fee is collected by the platform on every transaction
Example: If AAPL is trading at $150.00, you would buy at $150.375 and sell at $149.625. A round-trip trade costs approximately 0.5% of your position.
2.2 Weekly Cash Maintenance Fee (2%)
A 2% maintenance fee is applied weekly to all cash balances held in user accounts. This fee:
- Is deducted automatically from your available cash balance
- Does not apply to funds invested in positions
- Does not apply to funds pending withdrawal
- Encourages active trading and investment
3
Trading Stocks & Cryptocurrency
3.1 Buying (Long Positions)
When you buy shares, you are purchasing ownership of that asset at the current ask price. You profit when the price rises and can sell at any time to close your position and realize gains or losses.
3.2 Short Selling
Short selling allows you to profit from falling prices. When you open a short position:
- You borrow shares and immediately sell them at the current bid price
- 100% margin of the position's notional value is required and locked
- You profit if the price falls (you buy back cheaper)
- You lose if the price rises (you buy back at a higher price)
- Warning: Short positions have theoretically unlimited loss potential if prices rise significantly
To close a short position, you "cover" by buying back shares at the current ask price. Your margin is released and adjusted for profit/loss.
4
Options Trading
⚠️ Options are complex instruments. Please ensure you understand them before trading.
4.1 What Are Options?
Options give you the right (but not obligation) to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined "strike" price before expiration. On this platform:
- Call Options profit when the underlying asset's price rises above the strike price
- Put Options profit when the underlying asset's price falls below the strike price
- All options are cash-settled (no actual shares change hands at expiration)
- Options can be closed early at any time before expiration
4.2 Option Pricing & Time Decay (Theta)
An option's price (premium) consists of two components:
- Intrinsic Value: The immediate profit if exercised now
- Time Value: The "hope premium" that decays as expiration approaches
Critical: Even if the stock price doesn't move, your option loses value every single day due to time decay. OTM options will decay completely to $0 at expiration.
4.3 Writing/Selling Options (SHORT) - HIGH RISK
When you write (sell) an option:
- Margin is required and locked as collateral
- Losses CAN EXCEED the locked margin
- Additional losses are deducted from your balance
- If margin becomes insufficient, positions may be force-liquidated
- Other positions may be auto-sold to cover shortfalls
- NAKED CALLS HAVE UNLIMITED LOSS POTENTIAL
5
Withdrawals
When you request a withdrawal:
- The requested funds are immediately locked and unavailable for trading
- Withdrawal requests require administrator approval
- Approved funds are released; declined requests return funds to your available balance
6
Fixed-Term Bonds
6.1 Bond Overview
Fixed-term bonds allow you to lock your funds for a predetermined period in exchange for interest. Bonds come in four credit tiers with different risk/reward profiles.
6.2 Credit Tiers
- Treasury (🏛️): 0% default risk, 0.1-1.5% interest, min $1,000
- Investment Grade (📊): 5% default risk, 0.4-5% interest, min $5,000
- High Yield (📈): 8-20% default risk, 1-15% interest, min $10,000
- Junk Bond (🎲): 15-40% default risk, 2-30% interest, min $15,000
6.3 Available Terms
Bonds are available in 1-day, 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day terms. Longer terms offer higher interest rates. 1-day bonds have lower default risk than longer terms.
6.4 Bonus Interest
Larger deposits earn bonus interest (excludes Treasury bonds):
- $50,000+ deposits: +1% bonus interest
- $100,000+ deposits: +2% bonus interest
6.5 Creation Fee
A 0.5% creation fee is charged when you create a bond. This fee is deducted from your balance in addition to your principal deposit.
6.6 Default Risk
Non-Treasury bonds may default at maturity. If a bond defaults, you receive only a portion of your principal (recovery rate varies by tier). Treasury bonds cannot default.
6.7 Early Withdrawal Penalties
WARNING: Withdrawing funds before maturity results in severe penalties:
- Complete forfeiture of all accrued interest
- A penalty of 5-40% of principal (based on amount and tier)
6.8 Acknowledgment
By creating a bond, you acknowledge that you understand the lock period, default risk, and severe penalties for early withdrawal. Bonds are designed to be held to maturity.
7
User Exchange (Player-Listed Companies)
7.1 Overview
The User Exchange allows players to list their own companies, sell shares to other players, and trade player-created stocks. This is separate from real-world stocks and operates entirely within the platform economy.
7.2 Listing a Company (IPO)
When you list a company:
- A 3% platform fee is charged on the total IPO valuation upfront
- You may sell up to 49% of your company at IPO
- You must retain at least 51% ownership at all times
- When shares sell, you receive 50% of proceeds; 50% is held as collateral
7.3 Owner Revenue Streams
As a company owner, you can profit through:
- IPO Proceeds: 50% of each share sale goes to your wallet
- Dividend Income: You receive dividends on your own shares
- Trading Fee Share: You receive 25% of all trading fees on your stock
- Stake Appreciation: Your 51%+ stake grows as the company succeeds
7.4 Dividends
If you commit to paying dividends:
- Dividends are paid weekly to all shareholders (including yourself)
- You can adjust dividend rates by ±25% with 7 days notice
- A 2% platform fee is deducted from all dividend distributions
- Missing 3 dividend payments results in liquidation
7.5 Collateral Requirements
Collateral protects investors and is required at 50% of public float value:
- Collateral is automatically funded from 50% of IPO sale proceeds
- If share price increases, additional collateral may be required
- Collateral is not a cost — it is returned when you delist or buy back shares
- 24 hours of undercollateralization triggers liquidation
7.6 Trading Fees
Trading on the User Exchange incurs a 1% total fee (0.5% per side):
- 75% of fees go to the platform
- 25% of fees go to the company owner
7.7 Buyout & Delisting
To fully exit your company, you have two options:
- Negotiate directly: Contact shareholders individually and agree on a price to buy back their shares through normal market orders
- Forced Buyout: Use Buyout Shareholders to instantly repurchase all public shares at a 20% premium (no negotiation required)
Once all public shares are bought back (by either method), you may Delist the company and all collateral is returned.
7.8 Liquidation
Your company will be liquidated if:
- You miss 3 dividend payments
- You remain undercollateralized for 24 hours
Upon liquidation, collateral is distributed to shareholders and a 5% liquidation fee is charged.
7.9 Investing in Player Companies
When you buy shares in another player's company:
- You may receive weekly dividends if the company pays them
- You can sell shares at any time on the open market
- If the company is liquidated, you receive a portion of collateral
- Prices are set by supply and demand — there is no guarantee of profit
7.10 Startup Listings (Crowdfunding)
Startups are a special type of listing for new ventures that must reach their funding goal before activating:
- All-or-Nothing: If funding goal is reached, startup activates. If not, all investors are automatically refunded
- Funding Goal: $10,000 - $5,000,000
- Deadline: 7-60 days to reach the goal
- 3% platform fee is charged upfront and is non-refundable
- Founders must provide a pitch explaining their business and use of funds
When funding succeeds:
- 50% of funds go to the founder
- 50% is locked as collateral (same as regular companies)
- Shares begin trading normally on the exchange
Investor Warning: Startup investing is high-risk. The automatic refund only applies if funding fails — once a startup is active, normal exchange rules apply and you may lose your investment.

Fair Use Policy & Bug Reporting
8.1 Prohibited Conduct
You agree NOT to:
- Exploit bugs, glitches, or errors for personal gain

⚠️ IslandCrypto - HIGH RISK DISCLAIMER
9.1 User-Created Tokens
IslandCrypto allows users to create their own tokens. These tokens are NOT backed by the platform, have no intrinsic value, and are created entirely by other users. The platform makes no guarantees about any token's value, legitimacy, or future existence.
9.2 Pump & Dump Risk
User-created tokens are highly susceptible to pump-and-dump schemes where creators or early buyers artificially inflate prices before selling, causing the price to crash. You may lose your entire investment. Only invest what you can afford to lose completely.
9.3 AMM Mechanics
IslandCrypto uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM) system. This means:
- Prices adjust automatically based on supply and demand
- Large trades cause significant price impact (slippage)
- Token creators who provide liquidity will only recover approximately 50% of their initial liquidity if they immediately sell their tokens back - this is not a bug, it is how AMM mathematics work
- There is no price floor or ceiling protection
9.4 IslandCrypto Fees
- 0.3% swap fee on all token buy/sell trades (retained in liquidity pool)
- 0.1% transfer fee on wallet-to-wallet cash transfers (paid to platform)
- $5,000 per additional crypto address (first 2 addresses are free)
- $1,000 token creation fee
- $100,000 to unlock IslandCrypto access
9.5 No Recourse
The platform and its operators are NOT responsible for any losses due to token price crashes, rug pulls, scams, pump-and-dump schemes, or any other token-related losses. All IslandCrypto trading is entirely at your own risk.

- Remaining margin (if any) is returned to your account
- If losses exceed your margin, other positions may be liquidated to cover the shortfall

Force-closed positions are settled at current market prices. The platform is not responsible for any losses resulting from admin intervention.

💰 CTX Savings Accounts
17.1 Nature of Savings Accounts
CTX Savings Accounts are deposit accounts that earn interest through two components: a guaranteed base rate and a variable bonus rate tied to platform performance. These accounts are NOT bank accounts and are NOT insured by any government agency.
17.2 Interest Rates
Interest is paid monthly and consists of:
- Guaranteed Interest: A base rate applied to your eligible balance
- Bonus Interest: A variable share of platform revenue distributed proportionally among all savings account holders
⚠️ ALL RATES ARE VARIABLE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
The platform reserves the right to adjust the guaranteed rate, bonus allocation percentage, and all other savings account parameters at its sole discretion. Historical returns are not indicative of future performance.
17.3 Eligibility & Holding Period
New deposits are subject to a minimum holding period before becoming eligible for interest. This period may be adjusted by the platform at any time. Interest is calculated based on your average daily eligible balance throughout the month.
17.4 Transaction Fees
The following fees apply to savings account transactions:
- Deposit Fee: A percentage fee is deducted from each deposit. The net amount after the fee is credited to your savings balance.
- Withdrawal Fee: A percentage fee is deducted from each withdrawal. The net amount after the fee is returned to your main balance.
⚠️ ALL FEES ARE VARIABLE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
Current fee rates are displayed in the savings account interface. These fees help support platform operations and encourage long-term holding.
17.5 Deposit & Withdrawal Limits
- Minimum deposit requirements may apply
- Per-user balance caps may be enforced
- Total pool size caps may limit new deposits
- The platform may pause deposits at any time
- Withdrawals are generally available on demand but may be delayed or restricted during exceptional circumstances
17.6 No Guarantee of Principal
While savings accounts are designed to preserve principal, NO GUARANTEE IS PROVIDED. In extreme circumstances (platform insolvency, security breach, regulatory action, or other force majeure events), you may lose some or all of your deposited funds.
17.7 Tax Implications
Interest earned on savings accounts may be subject to taxation in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes. The platform does not provide tax advice and recommends consulting a qualified tax professional.
17.8 Modification & Termination
The platform reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the savings account program at any time. In the event of termination, users will be notified and given the opportunity to withdraw their funds.
18
📈 Hedge Funds
18.1 Nature of Hedge Funds
The CTX Platform enables users to create and manage hedge funds or invest in funds managed by other users. Hedge funds are pooled investment vehicles where a fund manager makes trading decisions on behalf of investors. The platform acts as counterparty to all hedge fund trades — asset prices are derived from live market data but no real assets are held.
18.2 Fund Managers
Users who create and manage hedge funds acknowledge and agree that:
- Fund creation requires administrator approval and may be revoked at any time
- Managers have fiduciary-like responsibility to act in the reasonable interest of their investors
- Managers set their own management and performance fee structures, which are disclosed to investors before investment
- Managers may not deliberately trade against the interests of their investors (e.g. intentional loss-making trades, self-dealing, or market manipulation)
- The platform may freeze or force-close any fund at its sole discretion if mismanagement, abuse, or suspicious activity is detected
- In the event of a force-close, holdings will be liquidated at prevailing market prices and proceeds distributed to investors proportionally
18.3 Investors
Users who invest in hedge funds acknowledge and agree that:
- Investing in a hedge fund delegates trading authority entirely to the fund manager — you have no control over individual trades
- Fund managers are other users of the platform, not employees or agents of CTX or Farr Holdings & Finance
- Past performance of a fund or manager is not indicative of future results
- Your investment may lose some or all of its value due to the manager's trading decisions
- Some funds may impose a lockup period during which redemptions are restricted
- Redemption proceeds are calculated based on the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) at the time of withdrawal, which may differ from your original investment
18.4 Limitation of Liability & Release
By investing in any hedge fund on the CTX Platform, you expressly release and hold harmless the following parties from any and all claims, losses, damages, or liability arising from trading losses incurred by the hedge fund:
- Farr Holdings & Finance (platform operator)
- Capital Trading Exchange (CTX) (platform)
- The fund manager (for bona fide trading losses — this release does not extend to fraud, deliberate sabotage, or gross negligence)
- Any directors, officers, employees, or affiliates of the above
You accept that investment losses — including total loss of principal — are an inherent risk of hedge fund participation, and that no party owes you compensation for losses resulting from legitimate trading activity.
18.5 Fund Transparency
Funds operate under one of two transparency models:
- Transparent Funds: All holdings, trades, and NAV calculations are visible to investors in real-time
- Opaque Funds: Only the fund's overall NAV and performance metrics are visible; individual holdings and trades are concealed. Investing in an opaque fund carries additional risk as you cannot independently verify the manager's strategy
18.6 Fees & Revenue
Hedge fund fees are structured as follows:
- Management Fees: Charged periodically (weekly or monthly) as a percentage of AUM, set by the manager at fund creation
- Performance Fees: Charged on profits above the high-water mark, set by the manager at fund creation
- Trading Commissions: A 0.5% commission is charged on all fund trades by the platform
- Platform Revenue Share: The platform collects 10% of all management and performance fees earned by managers
- Fee structures are fixed at fund creation and cannot be altered after investors have contributed capital
18.7 Platform as Counterparty
The CTX Platform acts as the counterparty to all hedge fund trades. This means that when a fund profits from a trade, the platform bears the cost; when a fund loses on a trade, the platform benefits. Asset prices are derived from live external market data. No real-world securities, commodities, or financial instruments are purchased or held.
18.8 Administrative Controls
The platform reserves the right to, at any time and at its sole discretion:
- Freeze trading activity on any fund
- Force-close and liquidate any fund
- Revoke a user's ability to create or manage funds
- Adjust platform commission or revenue share rates with reasonable notice
- Impose minimum or maximum fund sizes, investment limits, or asset restrictions
19
