Important to note

Please be aware that if you choose to register as a professional trader with any spread betting or CFD provider, you will lose the protections afforded to clients classified as ‘Retail’ under CySEC rules. The main protections you will lose are:

Negative Balance Protection – You will be responsible for keeping your account balance positive and you could lose more than the sum you have invested

Leverage – By gaining access to higher leverage you risk magnifying your losses

Communication – We will use more sophisticated language when promoting our products and we will not be required to provide you with the standardised risk warning we provide to ‘retail’ clients

Best Execution – The factors we consider when determining the delivery of 'Best Execution' may differ between retail and professional clients

Market Requests – Not all stocks that are available to trade appear on our platform. If you are unable to find a specific stock simply email our team at [email protected] or call 020-7392-1419/1479 to find about your desired market and how to trade it with ETX

You will only be treated as professional if we are comfortable you have the relevant expertise, experience and knowledge considering the high risk nature of our products.
