Fiper lists Negative Balance Protection as a feature on the margin pages of both its websites. The client terms say the opposite. Clause 36-3 warns that margin trading may cost you more than your deposit.
Negative balance protection is a limit that stops you owing more than you put in. Without it, one fast market move can leave you owing the broker money on top of your deposit.
Why this matters
Negative balance protection means the broker writes off a loss that takes your account under. Fiper promises it in marketing and removes it in clause 38-4, which plans for your equity going negative. Clause 47-1 then makes anything you owe payable on demand.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Harder than usualHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.
Margin trading involves high risk and may result in losses exceeding the initial deposit.
Where it sits: section 43 of 83 in the Client Terms & Conditions, 52% of the way through.We counted the numbered sections in the Client Terms & Conditions. This clause sits in section 43 of 83, about 52% of the way through. A fee written on the first page and the same fee written near the end are not the same disclosure.
Firms licensed by the FCA, CySEC or any ESMA regime must give retail CFD clients negative balance protection, so a client cannot lose more than the money in the account. This contract says losses may exceed the initial deposit.
Fiper is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
