Before you hit ‘apply’

Becoming a professional client comes with important changes. Here’s what you need to know.

Higher leverage1

Professional accounts offer higher leverage than retail accounts. This increases exposure but can also amplify losses if markets move against you.

Negative balance protection

Negative balance protection applies by default to Professional accounts. However, it may be removed on a case-by-case basis. If this occurs, losses may exceed your account balance, and additional payments may be required.

Sophisticated language and assumed experience

Professional clients are assumed to have greater trading knowledge and experience. Our communications therefore assume familiarity with markets and trading concepts.

Client money

Professional client funds may be held under title transfer rather than in segregation, and are then no longer treated as client money. You may decline this arrangement, in which case your funds remain segregated.

Lower margins

Lower margins mean higher leverage. Leverage amplifies both potential losses and potential profits. The leverage shown represents the maximum available for the displayed asset. Leverage limits vary by instrument and may differ accordingly.
