The trading systems of Blue Chip Broker are designed with safeguards to protect clients from encountering negative balances when trading under normal market conditions.
All clients are provided with margin monitoring functionality. This functionality monitors the level of collateral should it drop below 100% of the required margin. If it drops below 100%, the margin call mode will be triggered and maintained until the level of 50%. Should the margin level equal to, or drop below 50%, Blue Chip Broker will initiate the closing of current open positions, starting from the most unprofitable considering trading hours of instruments traded by the client. Positions will be closed automatically at the current market price. The clients can set personal limits for risk management purposes. Should a client incur a negative balance due to a “market gap”, the client should inform the Blue Chip Broker support team. Blue Chip Broker will evaluate the inquiry and at its discretion, may credit the client’s account with the amount of the negative balance where the debit was during normal trading activity. This policy is available to Private Clients only.
Clients are expected to always maintain the appropriate levels of margin in the trading account as the recommended method of risk management.
