What should I consider before applying?
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: While retail clients are subject to leverage restrictions of 1:30 and 1:10 on certain products, Professional Clients are exempt from these limitations, allowing for more tailored trading strategies. However, it's crucial to note that higher leverage can magnify risks and losses.
Assumed Experience Level: IC Markets 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.
