※ Stop and Trailing Stop Order Execution
Please note that when the stop price for Stop or Trailing Stop Order is reached, a stop order becomes a market order (an order to buy or sell at the current market price). These orders do not guarantee your order will be executed at the price you had requested.

※ Limit Order Execution
Please note that when a Limit Order is reached that order will be executed at your specified price.

Hirose Financial UK has implemented a Margin Call Policy to protect its clients from losing more money than the remaining balance in their accounts. Margin calls are automatically executed to close every outstanding position when a client's account has less equity available than margin required to maintain an outstanding position. However, it is important to note that you may be exposed to further loss over and above your initial deposit due to a sudden movement in the underlying price (for example, a change in the underlying price over the weekend) or a time lag in the automatic closure process (for example, no prices are available due to the exotic nature and potential lower liquidity when trading minor or exotic pairs).

When your account equity level falls below the 50% of the Margin requirement of your open position the trading platform will then close all open positions.

In other words, when account reaches a Margin level of 100%, all positions will be closed.

1.
Your initial deposit is £1,000 (Base Currency is GBP)
Your Account status is:

2.
You buy 0.1 Lots (10,000 units) of EURGBP at 0.87500
The margin reqirement is 3.33%, which is ￡292

Your Account status is now:

3.
EURGBP then falls to 0.7896 after a news announcement creating a loss of ￡854
(0.7896 - 0.87500) x 10,000 = -￡854

Your Account status is now:

In this example Equity has fallen below the 50% of the Margin requirement. Or to look at it another way, Margin Level has decreased to a level below 50% meaning that there are not enough funds in the Account to maintain the existing open position. The open position (or all open positions if there are more than one) is then automatically closed.

Margin Level is the ratio (%) of Equity to Margin and calculated as (Equity/Margin) x 100. f Margin Level falls below 50% a margin call is automatically generated to close every open position and any orders that may exist.
