Trading on margin involves specific risks, including the possible loss of more money than you have deposited. A decline in the value of securities that are purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds to your trading account. In addition, Wallstreet Euro Futures LLC can force the sale of any securities in your account without prior notice if your equity falls below required levels, and you are not entitled to an extension of time in the event of a margin call.

When trading on margin, an investor borrows a portion of the funds they use to buy stocks to try to take advantage of opportunities in the market. The investor pays interest on the funds borrowed until the loan is repaid.

For each trade made in a margin account, we use all available cash and sweep funds first and then charge the customer the current margin interest rate on the balance of the funds required to fill the order. The minimum equity requirement for a margin account is €2,000. Please read more information regarding the risks of trading on margin.
