Types of Account
We offer two types of trading account. Please read the descriptions below to see which account will suit you best.
Standard account
With a Standard 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 on a same-day basis.
Limited Risk account
With a Limited Risk account, you specify a Guaranteed Stop 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 margin 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.
