    Frequently Asked Questions

    hirose financial (lion fx) operates through regional entities, and the one that serves you sets your rules and protections. The broker states it keeps client money separate from company funds in line with local law. Platform security typically includes encryption and multi‐factor login. Availability of negative balance protection can vary. You should review the client agreement, risk notice, and order execution policy for your entity before you trade. If you are unsure which entity you use, check the legal footer and your account documents.

    You can trade through proprietary platforms on web, desktop, and mobile. You get fast order entry, live charts, common indicators, and watchlists. Order types usually include market, limit, stop, and trailing stop. You can set price alerts and manage risk with stop and take‐profit. Some regions may offer a third‐party platform. Features and tools depend on your entity and product list. You can open a demo to learn the workflow before you fund a live account.

    Your total cost can include spread, a commission if applicable, overnight financing on open positions, and currency conversion when your account and trade currency differ. You may also face account fees such as inactivity or platform costs, and payment provider charges on funding or withdrawal. Pricing shifts with market conditions, product type, and account setup. You should read the current fee schedule and product disclosure from your entity and compare all costs, not a single line item.

    You can add funds by bank transfer, cards, or regional methods supported by your entity. Processing times and limits vary by method and location. The name on your trading account must match the payment source. The broker does not accept third‐party payments. Withdrawals generally return to the original source to meet compliance rules.

    You trade on margin, which lets you control a larger position with a smaller deposit. You need enough free margin to open and hold trades. If your equity drops toward the platform's maintenance level, automatic reductions or closures can occur. Rapid moves, news, or thin liquidity can cause slippage and gaps, so your fill price can differ from the screen. Margin requirements, stop‐out rules, and protections depend on your entity and product. Read the risk notice so you know what can happen.
