In 2018, EU regulators reported that 74-89% of retail CFD accounts typically lost money.³ \n\nNegative balance protection, segregated client funds, and margin close-out rules matter most during sudden market moves. \n\nA demo account and a small test withdrawal may reveal more about a platform than any review site. \n\nNo platform can guarantee profitable trading, and past performance is not indicative of future results. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/eO2Jn0gxT_H9qDuuD0uleszE2n40sbZ-1T2r0zOcj9c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMTY4LzE2ODMz/MTU4ODQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
