Understand risk before it matters

Learn how professional platforms protect traders — with checks that run on every indicative order.

Built-in protections

Cash checks

A buy order can't exceed your available virtual cash. The check runs before and after you confirm.

Position checks

You can't sell more units than you hold. Short selling is disabled in the preview.

Order confirmation

Every order shows instrument, quantity, price and estimated total before it's sent.

Margin view

Illustrative initial and maintenance margin, excess liquidity and leverage on the Account page.

Buying power

A indicative 2x buying power figure shows how leverage would expand exposure.

Clear errors

Rejected orders explain why — insufficient funds, not enough units, or invalid price.

Margin, explained with your own numbers

The Account page calculates illustrative margin figures from your live virtual positions, so you can see how exposure, leverage and excess liquidity relate.
