What’s the difference between an Trading account and an Professional account?
With an trading account, you’ll need to hold more margin to cover your positions than an professional client would. Your account will also have negative balance protection, a UK regulation on retail accounts for all providers, meaning that the balance on your account can’t go below zero.
