What to consider before your application

As a professional client, you’ll be treated differently to standard retail traders. Here are some of the differences to be aware of.

Higher leverage

Your professional account enables you to trade with higher leverage, while retail clients have leverage restrictions. Using higher leverage may amplify returns, but it can also increase losses if your position goes against you.

No negative balance protection

Negative balance protection guards against losing more money than you have in your account. With Pro, you will not have access to this feature, and therefore are responsible for making additional payments should your balance go negative. This means you could lose more than the sum you initially invested.

Sophisticated language and assumed experience

Traders who hold professional accounts are more experienced, by nature of fulfilling the account criteria. This means the language we use for professional clients will assume a more advanced level of market knowledge than for other traders.

Reduced risk warnings

The risk warnings we use when communicating with professional clients will be reduced compared to our messaging for retail traders.

Potential restrictions on complaints

The services of the UK Financial Services Ombudsman (FOS) may not be available to you as a professional client.
