There are many reasons why people choose HF Markets, such as the negative balance protection of HF Markets。What is "Negative Balance Protection"?？How is it good for traders?？

Negative Balance Protection in Forex Trading

Negative balance protection is a specific clause provided by Forex brokers to limit extreme losses that may occur to customers. Here is how it works。

In forex and CFD trading, the use of leverage may result in a trader losing more than the amount of money they have deposited。Under normal market conditions, both forced closing and margin calls prevent traders from having negative account balances。However, during periods of extreme volatility, both methods may not work and the trader's account may go straight into negative value.？

Some brokers may require clients to pay large amounts of money to cover the gap, as a negative account balance means there may be a payment dispute between the two parties。However, some brokers have established "negative balance protection" to prevent customers from withdrawing money at zero dollars or automatically adjusting negative account balances to zero.。

In recent years, European financial market regulators have required all leveraged financial product providers under their supervision, including forex brokers, to provide negative balance protection to protect their clients.。

Negative Balance Protection in HF Markets

HF Markets is one of the legitimate online brokers with negative balance protection clauses for all its trading accounts。The measure means that HF Markets will never require payment from any customer with a negative account balance, and its customers are not responsible for repayment。

To activate the feature, HF Markets customers simply contact customer service via live chat or email after their account balance becomes negative。Therefore, if a client asks a broker to activate negative balance protection, HF Markets will reset their account balance to zero。We strongly recommend that customers apply for this protection before making any new deposits。

In addition, HF Markets Group companies have been licensed by a number of institutions, including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (license number 801701) and the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) (license number F004885).。
