[General Questions] Can my account go into a negative balance?

The margin close-out level on your account is in place to ensure that your balance doesn't go negative.

However, in certain market conditions, where liquidity dries up and the next available price differs substantially, a margin stop-out level may not be sufficient.

This is why as an added safeguard we offer Negative Balance Protection to all ActivTrades account holders, guaranteeing that your account cannot go negative.
