Account types

We offer two different account types, depending on how much risk and flexibility you want. Choosing the right type of account is important, so read through the brief summaries below to help you choose. If you have any questions, contact Client Services who will be happy to help.

Guaranteed stop account

We recommend a guaranteed stop account for novice traders or people with no previous trading experience.  Our Guaranteed Stop Account allows you to determine how much capital you put at risk by attaching guaranteed stops to every trade you place. By paying a premium on the opening trade, you can select a level at which your position will be closed automatically should the price reach that level, thereby capping your potential losses at an amount you are comfortable with.

Regular trading account

Our regular trading account sees you manage you own account risk. You have  the flexibility to open positions with guaranteed stops, stops, or simply no stops at all.
