The legal documents show that all retail clients are covered by the Negative balance protection and they cannot lose more than the funds they have in their account. It turns out that stop loss orders are not guaranteed. It is written: ‘Placing a Stop Loss will not necessarily limit the Client’s losses to the intended amounts, because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such an Order at the stipulated price. In addition, under certain market conditions the execution of a Stop Loss Order may be worse than its stipulated price and the realized losses can be larger than expected.’ All orders are subject to slippage and can be filled at the first available market price. The company also explains that it uses the Straight Through Processing (STP) model for order execution. This means it is connected to one or multiple liquidity providers and forwards the trades of its clients to the liquidity provider that currently offers the best price. Further, a liquidity provider might forward a client’s order to another liquidity provider in chain or execute the order itself.

Overall, this is a strictly regulated company that offers many trading assets through one of the most popular platforms (MT5). It acts as an STP brokerage company that covers all clients with negative balance protection. However, the spread is wider than usual and there are additional fees.
