What should you know before opting-up to Professional classification?

Leverage Rate

Professional Clients are afforded with higher leverage than Retail Clients. The leverage rates shown on the table above are applicable. With increased leverage, professional clients can trade larger positions with a smaller amount of capital but also increases risk as losses can accumulate quickly.

Negative balance protection

If the volatility in the market is too high, even after automatic liquidation of the positions, your account balance may go below 0. In such cases, Primixus Universal will apply Negative Balance Protection, for both Retail and Professional clients, and zero the account balance.

Knowledge and Experience

We presume professional clients possess market knowledge and experience relative to their classification, and capable of making their own investment decisions and understanding the risks involved.

Best Execution

Both Retail and Professional clients’ trades will be conducted in accordance with the Company’s Order Execution Policy.

INVESTOR COMPENSATION FUND

Professional Clients are not covered by the INVESTOR COMPENSATION FUND.

FAQ

  • 1. Do I need a Primixus Universal account before applying for a Professional Client?

    Yes, you must have a Primixus Universal trading account before applying for Professional Client Categorization. If you do not have an account, you can open one here.

  • Can my application be rejected?

    Yes, your application is being reviewed based on the information and statements you provide. For each criterion selected, you must submit appropriate supporting evidence. In certain cases, meeting two of the three eligibility criteria may not be sufficient, and a more thorough assessment of your expertise, experience, and knowledge may be required. In case that your application is rejected, you can trade as a Retail client with more protections and restricted leverage rates.

  • What documents do I need to provide?

    To qualify as a Professional Client, you must provide supporting documentation for the selected statements, as outlined below:
