CFDs are complex financial instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Professional Clients, utilize more leverage which increases that risk. You should consider carefully whether you can afford to take the risk of becoming an Elective Professional Client.

Being classified as a Professional Client means that the following will apply:

*Professional Clients are not entitled for ICF Compensation2

Negative Balance Protection
Never be subjected to lose more than your balance
Access to VIP Platinum Education
Benefit from professional trading education
Higher Leverage
Trade with up to 400:1 leverage

On 27 September 2019, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (“CySEC”) issued a Policy Statement (PS-04-2019), publishing the rules that restrict the sale, marketing and distribution of contract for differences (“CFDs”) in or from Cyprus in line with ESMA’s temporary product intervention measures.

CySEC has permanently introduced ESMA Measures into national law through Directive DI-87-09 and include:

• The adoption of the same leverage limits for all retail clients dependent on the type and volatility of the underlying asset:

– 30:1 for major currency pairs;

– 20:1 for non-major currency pairs, gold and major indices;

– 10:1 for commodities other than gold and non-major equity indices’

– 5:1 for individual equities and other reference values;

– 2:1 for cryptocurrencies.

• a margin close-out, when the clients’ funds fall to 50% of the margin needed to maintain their open positions on their CFD account;

• negative balance protection per account basis, so that retail clients cannot lose more than the total funds in their trading account;

• prohibiting firms from offering cash or other inducements to encourage retail clients to trade;

• requiring firms to provide standardized risk warnings informing potential customers the percentage of their retail client accounts.
