What should you consider before applying for professional status?
Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) Exclusion
Professional Clients are not eligible for coverage under the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), which may provide compensation in certain circumstances.
Leverage Flexibility
Clients classified as professionals are subject to different leverage limits in accordance with regulatory provisions. These parameters allow for alternative trading strategies, while still requiring careful consideration of the risks associated with higher leverage. It's crucial to note that higher leverage can magnify risks and losses.
Assumed Experience Level
M4Markets may presume a sufficient level of trading experience when assessing the suitability of products and services for Professional Clients. Consequently, communications may utilize more advanced language compared to interactions with Retail Clients.
Reduced Risk Warnings
Professional Clients are not bound by standard risk warnings and regulations designed to protect Retail Clients, offering greater autonomy but also necessitating a heightened awareness of associated risks.
