Limit Your Risk
Worried about volatile markets? We can offer you a specialized service to help put an absolute limit on your position’s risk – without capping the position’s potential profit.
Our exclusive Guaranteed Stops allow you to make certain that you lose no more than a given amount, no matter how ferociously the market moves.
The U.S. dollar and euro have been bouncing off highs and lows for some time now, with the aftermath of the sub-prime mortgage crisis and numerous other factors contributing to a turbulent currency market.
And while this volatility provides exceptional opportunities for traders, our Guaranteed Stops can help provide a safety net should dramatic movements in the markets go against you.
How will Guaranteed Stops help me?
Guaranteed Stops offer many benefits, including:
- Limiting your risk by providing assurance that your position will be closed at your chosen level without worrying about 'slippage'
- As you lower your risk it means we can allow you a lower margin requirement, and hence greater leverage
- Your maximum possible loss is known from the outset (not accounting for potential interest adjustments)
Our Guaranteed Stops also allow you to specify how many points away from the opening level you want to set your Guaranteed Stop when you open your position.
The premium for Guaranteed Stops is in the form of an extra spread, which is added to your opening price – this is set at just 3 pips for all major pairs.

You should bear in mind, however, that even with Guaranteed Stops, trading carries a high level of risk to capital, which may not be suitable for everyone. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved.
