Negative Balance Protection
Dupoin Got You Covered with Negative Balance Protection
What is Negative Balance Protection?
Negative Balance Protection helps protect eligible clients from owing more than the funds in their trading account, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
It does not protect your deposited capital or prevent trading losses. You may still lose all the funds in your trading account.
Market gaps and slippage can cause an account to show a negative balance, even when stop-out mechanisms or stop-loss orders are in place. Any remaining negative balance will be handled in accordance with the applicable Negative Balance Protection policy and Client Agreement.
CFDs are leveraged products and carry a high risk of rapid losses. Negative Balance Protection does not replace appropriate risk management.
Advantages of Negative Balance Protection
