I live in the UK and I am considering starting to trade on the stock market, having opened an account at a brokerage firm.
I am considering using it to speculate on short term period with leverage. Obviously this is risky and may lead to lose more than originally invested.
In order to mitigate that risk, I was planning to create a limited liability company and to retitle my trading account using the credential of that firm.
The idea is that if my account goes into negative territory, I am not personally liable for reimbursing the broker for the losses beyond my account value.
Do you think this is a viable idea?
EDIT:
My question relates rather to how to protect against so called "flash crashes". It is possible to devise trading risk strategies that account for "ordinary" (normal speed) price changes, but i want to be able to have a protection against very large instant moves (think swiss franc in jan 2015).
