What is Negative Balance Protection?

FXCM applies negative balance protection on a per account basis.
A client's loss is limited to available funds in the client's trading account. If the client's trading losses exceed the funds available in their account, their actual loss is limited to the amount of funds they have in the account, and they are not liable for losses beyond that amount. For example, if a client has a negative balance of $2,000, but has $1,000 left in his or her account, the client's actual loss will be limited to the available funds in the account, which is $1,000.
