StarShield

You can never lose more than you deposit.

StarShield is our negative balance protection. If extreme market moves push an account below zero, StarShield resets the balance back to zero — so your risk is always capped at the money you funded, and never a penny more.

How it works

A safety floor under every live account

  • Automatic monitoring

    Your equity is watched in real time. As losses approach your margin, the system steps in at the stop-out level.

  • Zero-floor reset

    If a rare gap or slippage event still takes an account negative, StarShield restores the balance to zero.

  • No action needed

    Protection is built into every live Nova, Pulsar and Quasar account. There is nothing to switch on and nothing to claim.

Scenario

A sudden gap moves the market against an open position faster than a stop can fill.

Account balance$1,000
Loss after the gap-$1,180
Raw balance-$180
StarShield adjustment+$180
Final balance$0.00

Illustrative only. You owe nothing beyond your deposited funds.

What's covered

Protection that travels with you

Every live tier

Nova, Pulsar and Quasar accounts all carry StarShield as standard.

All instruments

Forex, metals, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs are covered alike.

Retail focus

Designed to protect individual traders from owing more than they put in.

Always on

No toggles, no fine-print opt-in — the floor is there from your first live trade.

Important: StarShield protects against a negative balance from ordinary trading. It does not remove market risk — you can still lose your full deposit. Specific terms and any eligibility conditions are set out in the StarFX legal centre.
