FOREX Pro
Margin Rates
As a professional trader, you’re able to pay less margin to open positions than a retail trader. View our margin table below to compare the differences between retail and professional clients.
Some markets on the Advantage Trader platform benefit from orders-aware margins, which means that placing a Stop Loss Order on an open position will reduce the margin required to maintain that position. Information on whether a market includes orders aware margins can be found within the market information sheet. This feature is only available for clients who qualify for FOREX Pro.
