Negative Balance Protection definition

Negative Balance Protection. CFDs which are leveraged products, incur a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all the client’s invested capital.

The Client accepts that the Company reserves the right to immediately terminate the Client’s access to the trading platform and recover any losses caused by the Client, in the event that the Company determines, at its sole discretion, that the Client voluntarily and/or involuntarily abuses the “negative balance protection” offered by the Company, by way of, but not limited to, hedging his/her exposure using his/her trading accounts, whether under the same profile or in connection with another client(s); and/or requesting withdrawal of funds, notwithstanding any of the provisions of this agreement, during a specific timeframe when the symbol he/she is trading is not available.”
