PFTL Account Type

PFTL offers several types of trading accounts to cater to different trading needs and strategies. The primary account types include:

• Cash Accounts: These are the most basic type of accounts where investors must pay the full amount for securities purchased. Cash accounts do not use leverage and are ideal for those who prefer a straightforward trading approach.

• Margin Accounts: Margin accounts allow traders to borrow funds from the broker to purchase securities, providing increased purchasing power. However, this comes with higher risks, including the potential for margin calls if the value of securities declines significantly.

• Retirement Accounts: PFTL provides specialized accounts designed for tax-deferred savings, helping investors save for retirement. Contributions to these accounts can grow tax-free until withdrawals are made during retirement.

• Joint Accounts: These accounts are held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool their funds for trading. Each account holder has equal access and control over the account.

• Proprietary Trading Accounts: Offered as part of funded trader programs, these accounts allow traders to use the firm's capital for trading after passing a qualification process.
