Professional Account Details

Margin Rates

As a Professional Trader, you can trade with a minimum of 0.25% margin. ATFX Australia 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.

Product Disclosure Statement & Financial Services Guide

Currently, Professional Accounts will not be entitled to some of the protections afforded to retail clients under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). ATFX Australia is not required to give you a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or Financial Services Guide (FSG).

Client Money Segregation

Money you hold with us will remain in a segregated client bank account.

Professional Accounts have different conditions for trading to retail clients. This is because Professional clients are expected to have a more sophisticated understanding of complex products.

Professional Account will lose some protections:

  1. There’s no requirement to issue you a product disclosure statement (PDS), financial services guide (FSG), and other warnings and disclaimers (although these will remain available on our website for you to review)
  2. Applicable Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) requirements relating to conflicted remuneration don’t apply
  3. We may assume a level of knowledge and experience when assessing whether our products are appropriate for you.

Importantly, as a Professional Account, we will continue to segregate your money and assets in the same way as before in accordance with the client money provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
