CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.  The majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Professional Account Details

Margin Rates

As a Professional Trader, you can trade with a minimum of 0.25% margin. ATFX Connect is required to limit leverage on different products offered to retail accounts to comply with the ASIC requirements. These restrictions do not apply to Professional Accounts.

No Negative Balance Protection

Professional Traders are responsible for ensuring that their account does not fall into a negative balance. If it does, you will need to make additional payments to bring your balance back above zero, meaning that your losses can exceed your deposits.

Best Execution

You can keep trading with tight spreads and our best execution model. The Professional Account has market leading execution provided by our pool of liquidity providers.
