Negative Balance Write-Off is assessed across the eligible accounts and wallets in your FXTRADING.com profile. Use the current system pre-check and the applicable documents.
What is negative balance clearing?
Negative balance clearing is a risk-protection process that allows an eligible account holder to apply to reset eligible account and wallet balances to zero when combined eligible balance across the profile is negative.
It is not an account-by-account adjustment. A negative balance in one account does not by itself establish eligibility.
When can I apply?
All of the following conditions must be met:
There are no open positions in any Live Account, Funds Management account, or Social Trading account covered by the profile.
There are no open or pending orders.
All account and wallet activity is fully settled, with no deposits, withdrawals, transfers, redemptions, or other funds in transit.
Combined eligible balance across all eligible accounts and wallets is below zero.
Fund Investment Accounts must be at zero before you can apply. Exclusion from the calculation does not waive this prerequisite.
How is eligibility calculated?
Eligibility is calculated for the account holder as a whole. Positive and negative balances across eligible accounts and wallets are combined. You cannot request clearing for only one account.
If combined eligible balance is zero or positive, the profile is not eligible even when an individual account has a negative balance.
How do balance and trading credit affect negative balance clearing?
Negative balance clearing is a separate profile-wide assessment of eligible balances. The MT component uses balance, not equity including trading credit; the combined eligible balance must be below zero. One negative account alone does not establish eligibility. Withdrawals instead use equity minus trading credit for the MT component, together with the other withdrawal conditions.
For example, all other eligible balances are zero and an MT account has a balance of −200 USD, credit of 200 USD and equity of 0 USD. Credit bringing equity to zero does not by itself prevent an application. If positions and orders are closed, funds activity is settled and the other conditions are met, the profile may apply for assessment. After approval and completed clearing in this example, balance, credit and equity are all zero. Applying is not approval; clearing is not required for every withdrawal and does not guarantee payout.
Which balances are included?
The eligible profile amount displayed for the system pre-check combines:
Live MT Account balances
Wallet balance
Rebate Wallet balance
Investment Wallet balance
Social Trading Account equity
What happens after approval?
All eligible positive and negative balances covered by the approved request are reset to zero. A positive balance in one eligible account or wallet is therefore also cleared as part of the profile-wide adjustment.
Examples
Account A: -USD 100; Account B: +USD 20. Combined eligible balance is -USD 80, so the profile may be eligible. After approval, both eligible balances are reset to zero.
Account A: -USD 100; Account B or wallet: +USD 300. Combined eligible balance is +USD 200, so the profile is not eligible.
Account A: -USD 100; Account B: -USD 50; Account C: +USD 20. Combined eligible balance is -USD 130, so the profile may be eligible. After approval, all eligible balances are reset to zero.
What is excluded?
Fund Investment Accounts and Funds Management Accounts are excluded from this calculation and will not be adjusted by Negative Balance Write-Off. Fund Investment Accounts must nevertheless be at zero before applying. Investment Wallet balances are a separate included component. The separate fund-termination and settlement process still applies.
Can a profile-level balance review affect a withdrawal?
Yes. A submitted withdrawal may remain under review while FXTRADING.com checks balances across eligible accounts and wallets in the same profile, unsettled activity, margin, or another account condition. This is a standard control based on profile and account conditions, not a measure directed at selected customers.
Negative balance clearing is not a prerequisite for every withdrawal, and completing it does not guarantee that a withdrawal will be approved. If no action is required from you, the request continues through normal processing. If information or action is required, FXTRADING.com will notify you through an action message in the Client Portal or another official FXTRADING.com channel. Complete only the stated action; the request may remain pending until it is completed. If you do not complete the required action, the withdrawal may be rejected.
First verify any request to add funds in the Client Portal after signing in. Do not deposit funds solely because one account has a negative balance. Before acting on a request to add funds, obtain manual confirmation from Customer Support through an authenticated Service Hub ticket or verified registered-email correspondence. Support must confirm the reason, amount, currency and payment method for your case. A Fin or chat response, or an unverified email, is not a funding instruction. Once all positions are closed and funds activity is settled, a negative combined eligible balance is assessed separately under the profile-wide negative balance clearing policy.
How do I start a write-off application?
Sign in to the Client Portal.
Open Trading Conditions.
Select Negative Balance Write-Off.
Select Apply for a Write-Off, if it is available.
Read the preliminary-check explanation, then select Run pre-check.
Read the result and follow the conditions shown. A pre-check does not submit an application or change balances; passing it is not completed clearing. If you can continue, review the displayed impact before confirming any application. Use Application records to check the recorded status; submission or Processing does not mean Completed.
Use Service Hub for a missing entry, an error or a separate review requested by the process. Include the exact message and any existing application reference. Do not create duplicate applications or support requests, move funds to bypass a condition, or send passwords or one-time codes.
How do I request a review?
For account-specific help, sign in to the Client Portal and create a ticket in Service Hub using the current category that best matches your issue. Include the relevant reference and exact message, with sensitive details hidden. Never send passwords, one-time codes, full card numbers or banking login details.
Important: A negative balance alone does not trigger clearing. An application and assessment are required, and approval is not guaranteed. Do not open new positions, place new orders, or initiate deposits, withdrawals, transfers, redemptions, or other fund movements while a request is being assessed.
