Bonus supports draw down

What is Scalping under Bonus Promotion:

1.Scalping (Short Duration); trades closed under 320 seconds (this is an average indicative time. Trades more than this time frame may or may not be scalp trades considering the other factors such as spike in trading volume, low trading Profit/loss, trading around releases only, trades remain open for less period of time etc,) or trades that are closed below average or current spreads. There exists no justifiable rationale for opening and closing trades with differences less than the average 5 or 15 minute move if you are trading with a 5 or 15 minute time frame. This filter will apply corresponding to the data used in comparing the size of your trade(in pips) and the market volatility data. Anything less than the average move (adjusted for the spread applicable in your account) is a scalp trade. Anything closed in less than 320 seconds is a scalp trade. Any collection and succession of trades that are just being opened and closed in a short period (especially in blocks of multiple lots) are most probably rebate churners.

2.CFD/Future/Derivatives/Forex Scalping (Small Price Movement): it is a trading style used by traders to buy or sell a instrument and then hold it for a short period of time in an attempt to make a profit. A scalper looks to make a large number of trades, taking advantage of the small price movements which are common throughout the day. While scalping attempts to capture small gains, such as 0 to 20 pips per trade, the profit on these trades can be magnified by increasing the position size;

  • scalping involves buying and selling currencies, typically with a brief holding time and with multiple trades taken each day.
  • scalpers keep risk small in an attempt to capture small price movements for a profit. The small price movements can become significant amounts of money with leverage and large position sizes.
  • scalpers typically use promotional forex accounts, as using a normal account will put them at a disadvantage.
  • leverage, spreads, fees, and slippage are all risks that the scalper needs to control, manage, and account for as much as possible.

Can I claim bonus more than one time in the same trading account

Yes, you may request for a bonus on all your subsequent deposits.

What is the term of the promotion

Bonus will remain in your account for a period of 30 days and risk free trades for 60 days.

What will happen if I request to cancel the bonus or when my lot requirement is not met at the time of expiry of the bonus

User may request to cancel the bonus any time and the available amount for withdrawal in the account after cancellation of the bonus will be:
Current balance – (profits made out of using bonus + Losses in the trades + bonus + banking charges) = Amount available to withdraw

Trading Condition and Charges

When margin call occur

If your equity drops beneath 50% of your margin requirement all your open positions will be closed out within applicable trading hours, at the first price available for a market order.

Why all the open positions in my account closed during market close hours

When you have multiple open positions and one of your trade is going in huge loss and bring your equity/balance lower than 10% of your starting point. All of the positions opened in the account regardless of their market operation hours will close down automatically due to stop out.

What will happen at stop out

A stop out is a signal that all active positions in the account will be closed automatically by the broker as your margin levels are too low to sustain the open positions. The Stop Out Level is meant to prevent you from losing more money than you have deposited.

What If I have multiple positions open

If at any point, the Margin Level drops below 100% of the margin required or equity falls below 10% of the starting level, there will be an auto liquidation of the position that has the largest unrealized loss. So if you have multiple positions, the open position with the greatest unrealized loss is closed first, followed by the next largest losing position, and so on, untill the account equity reaches back to 10% of the starting point.

Quotes streaming or posted after the close of floor trading

Prices are only posted outside hours, in cases where there is a significant variation in the mark-to-market risk of any given instrument. This can be caused by various events that may happen outside regular trading hours or in after-hours/pre-market sessions. The only other stock that we offer, with an earnings call yesterday was Sysco. Its after-hours price remains within or less than 0.25% away from the last quoted price on the platform.

The system is built to only post mark-to-market prices if there is a significant change in the price from its last closed price. The prices are posted onto us by liquidity providers and the system posts it onto the trading platform acccordingly.

This happens only when the volatiltiy reaches levels where client positions open with us are being squared off by liquidity providers or the market has moved more than a certain risk threshold(usually a total move of upto 5%). At a 10% move up/down, markets go into a limit up/down state, whereby no one knows what will happen next and if there will be any liquidity to fill pending orders. Therefore, once the market moves in a way that this risk becomes real, the risk-management protocol will get triggered.

This filter has begun to be applied for the last 2 rebate calculations and we have sent you the corresponding data used in comparing the size of your trade(in pips) and the market volatility data.

12.Forex Scalping: Forex scalping is a trading style used by forex traders to buy or sell a currency pair and then hold it for a short period of time in an attempt to make a profit.
