- Minimum deposit
- No minimum funding requirement for a Classic individual account. Platinum and VIP pricing tiers require EUR 200,000 and EUR 1,000,000 respectively, or qualifying trading volume.
- Indicative major FX spreads
- Classic from 1.0 pip, Platinum from 0.9 pip and VIP from 0.7 pip. Displayed minimums vary by residence and live market conditions.
- Commissions and other costs
- Pricing is product- and tier-specific. Stocks, ETFs, options, futures and some CFDs use commissions or ticket fees; FX pricing uses spreads plus overnight financing where applicable. Exact costs are shown in the trade ticket and current fee schedules.
- Execution model
- Saxo executes or routes orders according to product, venue and its order-execution policy. It may act as principal for OTC products and as agent or route orders for exchange-traded products.
- Maximum verified leverage
- Up to 66:1 on major FX for qualifying professional clients, based on 1.5% margin. Retail leverage is lower and capped by the contracting entity. Professional clients lose some retail protections, including negative-balance protection.
- Margin close-out
- Close-out thresholds and margin utilisation depend on the entity, client classification and portfolio. Clients should use the real-time margin figures and warnings shown in SaxoTrader; no universal percentage was confirmed for every entity.
All trading and investing involves risk. Leveraged FX and CFDs can cause rapid losses; the official international site reports that 64% of retail CFD accounts lose money. Professional classification increases leverage but removes important retail protections.
