Protections are different when you’re a Pro
Being classified as a Professional Client means you will not benefit from certain regulatory protections afforded to Retail Clients (Non-Professional Clients) under applicable legislation, including MiFID II and the rules of the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMVM).
These differences include, but are not limited to:
- You may receive less detailed disclosures and risk warnings regarding the firm, its services and associated costs and charges.
- The firm may not be required to provide certain regulatory documents or periodic updates that are typically made available to Retail Clients (Non-Professional Clients).
- Negative balance protection may not apply, meaning you may be liable for losses exceeding the funds held in your account. The Firm may require you to meet any resulting obligations, including margin calls or outstanding balances.
- You may not have access to certain investor protection and complaint handling mechanisms available to Retail Clients (Non-Professional Clients) under applicable regulations.
- Leverage and margin requirements may differ from those applicable to Retail Clients (Non-Professional Clients) and may expose you to higher levels of risk.
Can I go Pro?
Pro status is available to clients who meet the Professional Client criteria set out under MiFID II.
To be eligible, you must meet at least two of the required criteria, which may include your trading activity, financial instrument portfolio, and professional experience.
Classification as a Professional Client is subject to an assessment by the firm and is granted only where the firm is satisfied that you have the necessary experience, knowledge and expertise to make your own investment decisions and properly assess the risks involved.

The legal stuff
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 74–89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
