It is possible to gain access to increased leverage if you qualify as an elective professional client. Please see the criteria below and provide at least two pieces of evidence to prove your status as an experienced trader.
1) A proof of executing on an average of 10 transactions on CFDs, and/or FX per quarter over last 4 quarters (with Capital.com or other broker). This can be a statement from a financial institution (ie a broker) showing:
The amount of your transactions on relevant markets (ie CFDs)
Their frequency
Dates of transactions
2) Proof of the relevant work experience in a professional position which requires the knowledge of the above financial transactions, in the financial sector for more than one year. This could be a reference letter from your current or previous employer which confirms your employment (position, a financial institution, dates of service).
3) Proof of the size of your portfolio which includes cash deposits and financial instruments exceeding €500,000. This could be a bank statement or letter from your bank showing the balance of your accounts, a statement of current investments in similar financial markets worth €500,000.
