Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
The forex and CFDs broker Admiral Markets announced it is adding a new advanced feature – Volatility Protection. It is already available for clients with Admiral.Markets, Admiral.Prime and Admiral.MT5 accounts – both live and demo, except for ex-Admiral.Pro accounts on AM-Live1, AM-Live3.
The volatility protection feature generally offers a package of advanced trading settings providing guaranteed limits of slippage, ability to cancel orders on price gaps with no losses and through a lower probability of order activation due to spread widening.
In more detail, Admiral Markets’ Volatility Protection offers the following:
– The ability to enter the market with limited risk and potentially unlimited additional gains through execution of stop and market orders as limit orders with predefined maximum slippage.
– Protection from instant losses on limit orders with predefined stop-loss levels triggered on the same tick.
– The ability to minimize the market risk associated with stop orders through cancellation of stop orders on price gaps, with stop-loss orders triggered on the same tick or with slippage exceeding a predefined amount of points.
– A chance to get filled at the nearest available price when a limit order (for example, a take-profit order) is reached on a price spike and not executed due to absent liquidity beyond that level.
– A chance to avoid activation of the stop orders due to widened spreads during economic news releases and other volatile conditions, which may not result in an actual change of the price level.
– The ability to trade limit orders of larger scale due to a partial fill functionality – particularly, in the less liquid markets.
– The ability to monitor the amount of the slippage size applied to executed orders.
The new settings are available through the Account Settings page of the Trader’s Room.
