Negative Balance Protection
Negative Balance Protection — your liability is limited to the deposited balance
1. Policy
Thermo Markets maintains a negative balance protection policy: under normal market conditions, the client will not lose more than the total balance deposited in their trading account. If a negative balance occurs due to normal market conditions, the broker will adjust the balance to zero.
2. Protection Mechanisms
- Automatic stop-out:positions are closed when equity reaches the stop-out level defined by the broker
- Margin call:Margin call: alert issued before the stop-out level
- Real-time monitoring:system continuously monitors exposure
3. Exceptions
Negative balance protection does not apply to: clients classified as Professional, cases of proven fraud, force majeure events causing systemic market disruption, or intentional manipulation to exploit the protection.
4. Risk Management
We recommend using Stop Loss on all positions. Negative balance protection is a safety net, not a trading strategy. Trade responsibly.
