What happens if my account goes into a negative balance?

We offer a number of tools to help you manage your risk, including stop-losses, price alerts and always-visible balance snapshots.

If your account does fall into a negative balance for any reason, you’re safeguarded by negative balance protection – a regulatory requirement in Dubai. This means that we are obligated to return your balance back up to zero as soon as possible – at no cost to you.*

* Negative balance protection does not apply to professional traders.
