About 6 minutes.

Whose numbers these are

You have not picked a firm yet. So the figures below come from one firm’s published rules. Each one is named and dated where it appears. Pick a firm and the same lesson runs on your own numbers.

Put these in orderThe firm as the other side of your arrangement — Evidence: mixedFirms’ own published terms, plus dated public events from 2024–2026 · read 2026-07-30

Put these three in the order you would notice them.

  1. 1The firm stops paying, or stops trading altogether
  2. 2The platform is down on a day you needed to close something

That is the end of this one.

Next: You decide how much to leave with any one firm.
