We offer two types of account.

Trader Account

With a Trader Account, you must have sufficient funds on the account to cover the initial margin requirement before opening a position. You must also be in a position to meet any subsequent margin call, either by bank transfer or by debit card payment.

Limited Risk Account

With a Limited Risk Account, you specify a Stop-loss level for every position you open. We guarantee that, should the market move against you, your position will be closed at exactly the selected level, even if there is a very sharp overnight move. The deposit requirement for a Limited Risk trade is equal to the amount which would be lost if the stop were triggered, plus 10% to cover any interest or dividend adjustments.

Risk Warning: Remember that Contracts for Difference can be a leveraged product and can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. CFD trading may not be suitable for everyone, so please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved. Trading in CFDs carries a high degree of risk, and prices may change quickly and go down as well as up. Past performance will not necessarily be repeated and is no guarantee of future success. CFD contracts can only be settled in cash. Transactions in CFDs may also have a contingent liability. Contingent liability investment transactions, which are margined, require you to make a series of payments against the purchase price, instead of paying the whole purchase price immediately. You may sustain a total loss of the margin you deposit with a firm to establish or maintain a position. If the market moves against you, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional margin at short notice to maintain the position. If you fail to do so within the time required, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be responsible for the resulting deficit.
