Volatility can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes. Without Negative Balance Protection there’s a significant risk of a trader losing more than their investment on a bad trade.

Negative Balance Protection is a risk management feature that ensures that you cannot lose more money than you have invested. In other words, it prevents your account balance from going below zero, regardless of market conditions or the outcome of your trades.

Why is Negative Balance Protection Important?

1. Financial Security: It provides a safety net, ensuring that your losses are limited to your deposited funds.
2. Peace of Mind: You can trade with confidence, knowing that you won’t end up owing money to the broker.
3. Regulatory Compliance: Many financial regulators require brokers to offer this protection to retail clients.
4. Protection Against Market Volatility: In cases of extreme market events or flash crashes, this feature safeguards you from catastrophic losses.

How Does Negative Balance Protection Work?

1. Real-time Monitoring: the trading platform continuously monitors your account balance and open positions.
2. Automatic Stop-outs: If your account equity falls below a certain threshold, the system will automatically close out your positions to prevent further losses.
3. Guaranteed Protection: In the rare event that a sudden market gap causes your account to go negative, the broker will reset your balance to zero, absorbing any excess loss.
4. Transparent Policy: Our Negative Balance Protection policy is clearly outlined in our terms and conditions, ensuring you’re fully informed.

Negative Balance Protection is particularly crucial in the following scenarios:

1. High Leverage Trading: When trading with high leverage, potential losses can accumulate quickly.
2. Volatile Market Conditions: During major economic events or unexpected news, market gaps can occur.
3. Overnight Positions: Holding positions overnight can expose you to gap risks when the market reopens.
4. Low Liquidity Situations: In less liquid markets, rapid price movements can sometimes outpace the ability to close positions.
