To qualify as a professional trader, you must meet two of the three criteria
A professional trading account gives you access to higher leverage and flexible margins but does not feature all of the protections that come with a standard account - including negative balance protection.
To have made an average of at least 10 significantly sized transactions per quarter for the last four quarters
To currently have a financial portfolio in excess of EUR 500,000 (including cash deposits)
To have worked in a professional capacity in the financial sector for 1+ years - the role must have required knowledge of leveraged trading products
Important considerations for professional clients
Negative balance protection
Unlike retail clients, professional clients are not covered by negative balance protection. As a result, losses may exceed the funds available in your account.
Margin close-out requirement
Retail clients benefit from an automatic margin close-out mechanism when account equity falls below 50% of the required margin.
Advanced language and terminology
Information provided to professional clients may use more advanced trading terminology and market concepts appropriate to their classification.
Our Interest Payment Scheme
Earn interest on tradable account funds through StoneX Trading's Interest Payment Scheme.
Eligibility
Clients with an average of £20,000 or more in tradable funds throughout the month and active trading status* are eligible.
Interest rate
We will apply an initial 2% interest rate to average tradable funds in your account(s) each calendar month.
Payment
Accrued interest is credited the following month, based on the previous month's tradable funds. To register your interest, contact your relationship manager.
For more information or to register your interest in joining the scheme, please get in touch with your relationship manager.
*An active client is defined as someone who regularly trades and holds open positions on their accounts.
