US Elections: Protect Yourself During Volatility with These Trading Conditions

The US Elections are considered a high risk and high volatility event, and although volatility can increase opportunity – it can also increase risk. Luckily, there are certain trading conditions and tools that can help you mitigate/manage risk and volatility effectively when trading.

Analysts agree that these specific elections are historically unique – not only because of the nature of the incumbent but also due to compounding factors such as the global health crisis, which the U.S. has mismanaged causing a tsunami of negative economic effects. This has caused markets to be much more sensitive and ready to jump to safe havens. easyMarkets offers trading condition and tools that can help you manage these potential fluctuations.

Free Guaranteed Stop Loss

Free guaranteed stop loss is a standard feature on all of easyMarkets accounts when trading on our app or easyMarkets web platform. Setting you maximum risk tolerance, means you won’t surpass your threshold or predefined level of loss. It also translates into added protection for your account and open trades, because runaway losses can cause margin stop out, which will close open trades until margin requirements are met.
