How do I withdraw my profits?

TradingPLUS traders utilize simulated capital but can earn real monetary rewards by generating profits on their TradingPLUS Account. Through successful virtual trading, they demonstrate their expertise and the value of the provided data, qualifying for profit payouts.

Traders may request their first payout 14 trading days after their initial trade on the TradingPLUS Account, provided profits have been generated through simulated trading. Subsequent withdrawals must follow a fixed interval of 14 trading days from the date of the first payout request. This schedule is system-controlled and cannot be altered.

Please note that your refundable fee will be reimbursed when you request for your second withdrawal. The refunded fee will be the same amount that you initially paid for the Evaluation package.

Please be aware that the minimum withdrawal amount is $50. You have the option to withdraw any profit earned, retaining 80% for yourself. Alternatively, you may choose to leave the profit in your account to grow your balance and enhance your drawdown buffer.

How does the Trading PLUS technical infrastructure work?

Trading PLUS provides simulated trading services and educational tools designed for traders. From the beginning, our aim has been to create an environment that closely mirrors real market conditions throughout the Evaluation Process, Free Trial, and Trading PLUS Account stages. In the Free Trial, you can experience our trading setup at no cost, and we highly recommend testing it before moving forward with the Evaluation Process.

Are there differences in execution for different clients?

Updated: 1 day ago

Can I experience execution delays?

Execution delays are a natural part of real market trading and occur across all trading platforms and servers. To simulate this on Trading PLUS’s servers, we apply a delay of up to 200 ms. Other factors that can influence execution delays include your geographical distance from the server or data centre, the quality of your internet connection, and overall latency. These delays are applied consistently to all users on the platform and are not personalized for individual clients. You can monitor your execution speed in the journal section of your platform terminal.

Why does Trading PLUS charge a commission on certain asset classes?

To accurately replicate the dynamics of financial markets and adhere to industry standards, we apply simulated commissions when executing trades. You can find detailed commission information for each asset class on our website and within the trading platform. This approach helps create a realistic trading environment, allowing traders to effectively test their strategies. We are proud to offer one of the lowest and most competitive commission structures in the industry.

Does Trading PLUS apply hidden markups or extra slippage?

No, we do not apply hidden markups or added slippage. Trades are executed according to the prices shown on the trading platform. If slippage does occur, it results from technical delays and can be either positive or negative, with no preference for either direction.

Does TradingPLUS provide Free Trial account?

Yes. We offer a Free Trial account, which is a simplified version of the TradingPLUS Challenge. The Free Trial is designed to help new clients understand how it works and evaluate their trading skills to determine if they are capable of passing the TradingPLUS Challenge. If you can pass the Free Trial, it indicates you may have the potential to succeed in the full TradingPLUS Challenge as well. This should motivate you to begin your journey toward becoming one of our TradingPLUS Traders.

Please note that Free Trials do not automatically qualify you for an TradingPLUS Account. Even if your results in the Free Trial are impressive, you will still need to complete the Evaluation Process to become an official TradingPLUS Trader.

Here’s all the information you need to know about Free Trial Accounts.

Registration: Each trader is permitted to register only one Trial Account. If your account is disabled, you will not be able to request another Free Trial account. Successfully passing the challenge does not grant you access to a TradingPLUS Funded account. You must still purchase and complete the Evaluation and Verification process to qualify for a Funded account.

Profit Target: The goal for each trader is to achieve a 5% profit on their initial account balance. This target is designed to promote strategic trading and effective risk management. Please note that any profit earned from the Trial Account is non-withdrawable.

Minimum Trading Days Requirement: Traders are required to trade for a minimum of 3 days within the 14-day trial period. This ensures active participation and provides a fair evaluation of trading skills. Daily Loss Limit: The Free Trial Account has a Daily Loss Limit of 5% of the account balance. This limit refreshes every day after midnight according to the server time.

Overall Loss Limit: The Free Trial Account has an Overall Loss Limit of 10% of the account balance.

Time Limit: Traders will receive 14 calendar days from the date of the first trade to reach the profit target. After this period, the account will be automatically disabled.

Weekend Position Holding: There are no restrictions on holding positions over the weekend.

Reset Option Availability: The Free Trial Account does not offer the option to reset the account.

Account Balance Options: Account balance options range from $10,000 to $200,000, catering to different levels of trading experience and strategies. However, the available balance options in the client portal may vary based on TradingPLUS’s decision.

Account Type and Leverage: The Free Trial Accounts are swap accounts with a leverage setting of 1:100. This standard leverage is consistent with many professional trading environments.

Trading Platform: All trading activities are to be conducted on the MT5 platform.

News Trading: Executing trade 2 minutes before and after news is not allowed.

Expert Advisors (EAs): Usage of EAs is permissible in the Free Trial Accounts.

What about trading psychology? Do we offer support in this area?

Definitely. We recognize that trading psychology can be a major obstacle for many traders. Challenges like overtrading, revenge trading, greed, and FOMO are common issues we've encountered ourselves.

That’s why we've teamed up with seasoned performance coaches to offer their expertise to all our Trading PLUS Traders.

Step 2 – Trading PLUS Step2

The Trading PLUS Step2 stage is the final step in our evaluation process, aimed at assessing your trading consistency. We want to ensure that you can successfully execute your trading system or strategy profitably over the long term while adhering to the established rules.

The Trading PLUS Step2 stage features easier Trading Objectives compared to Step1, as the Profit Target is reduced by half. Similar to the first step, you have an unlimited amount of time to meet these objectives.

Once you successfully meet all the Trading Objectives and your results are reviewed, you can finalize your Trading PLUS Identity to sign the contract for your Trading PLUS Account.

How to Become a Trading PLUS Trader?

If you're interested in becoming a Trading PLUS Trader, our 2-Step Evaluation Process is designed to assess your trading skills and help you qualify for a funded trading account with TradingPRO. Here’s what you need to know to get started:

Step 1: Trading PLUS Step1

Start by trading with a demo account using virtual capital, where you’ll need to meet specific trading objectives. Our Trading PLUS program offers low commission fees and competitive spreads to give you the best experience. Successfully meeting these requirements allows you to move forward in the evaluation process.

Step 2: Trading PLUS Step2

Once you qualify, you’ll proceed with another demo account to verify consistency and trading performance. The requirements are more flexible in Step2, so you can continue to refine your strategy. For detailed guidelines, check out our Trading Objectives page.

After passing both steps, you’ll become eligible to join the ranks of Trading PLUS Traders. To activate your funded account, you’ll need to provide valid identification, such as a passport or national ID, and complete the KYC verification according to TradingPRO’s compliance policies.

Eligibility Requirements

Please note that Trading PLUS does not provide services to traders from Vietnam, China, and the USA, as well as individuals with criminal histories related to financial crimes or terrorism, those under 18, persons on sanction lists, company trusts, and anyone previously banned for contract breaches.

Trading PLUS allows a maximum capital allocation of $200,000 per trader based on the initial Trading PLUS Step1 package selected.
Updated: 1 day ago

Step 1 – Trading PLUS Step1

TradingPLUS Step1 is the foundational stage of our evaluation process. Before you can access your TradingPLUS Account, we must ensure that you can trade responsibly and effectively manage risk. Your simulated trades during this phase will serve as a basis for your future trading in real financial markets.

During the TradingPLUS Step1 stage, you’ll encounter reasonable rules and guidelines designed to help you succeed. The Profit Target is aligned with the allowable drawdown, forming what we refer to as the Trading Objectives.

There is no time limit for achieving the Profit Target, making the Trading Period indefinite. The minimum requirement to complete TradingPLUS Step1 is to trade for at least 5 trading days. Once you meet all the Trading Objectives and your results are reviewed, you can advance to the TradingPLUS Step2 phase. Below are the Trading Objectives you will need to fulfill.

Trading period
Having peace of mind is essential for focusing entirely on your trading performance. To minimize unnecessary pressure on our traders, the Trading Period is completely unlimited. With TradingPLUS, you can take all the time you need to reach your Profit Target.

Minimum Trading Days
To fulfill this requirement, you must trade for a minimum of 5 days during the current cycle, opening at least one position each day. A trading day is defined as any day when at least one trade is executed. If a trade spans multiple days, only the day on which the trade was initiated counts as the trading day.

Maximum Daily Loss
This rule, often referred to as the “trader’s daily stop-loss,” is set at 5% of your initial account balance. This means that at any moment during the day (GMT+2), the total of all closed position results combined with your current floating profits/losses must not exceed this daily loss limit. The formula for calculating your current daily loss is:

Current Daily Loss = Results of Closed Positions for the Day + Results of Open Positions For instance, if you have a TradingPLUS Step1 account balance of $200,000, your Maximum Daily Loss would be $10,000. If you incur a loss of $8,000 from closed trades, your account cannot decline by more than $2,000 that day, including any open floating losses. This limit includes commissions and swaps.

Conversely, if you earn a profit of $5,000 in one day, you can afford to lose up to $15,000, but not more. Keep in mind that your Maximum Daily Loss also includes open trades. For example, if you close trades with a $6,000 loss and subsequently open a new trade that goes into a floating loss of -$5,700 but eventually turns profitable, it’s too late; your daily loss would have reached -$11,700 at one point, exceeding the permitted limit of $10,000.

Be aware that the Maximum Daily Loss resets at midnight (GMT+2). For example, if you close a day with a $4,000 profit but have an open position with a floating loss of $13,000, your current daily loss would be $9,000 ($4,000 closed profit - $13,000 open position), so you wouldn’t violate the limit. However, if you hold that position past midnight, the daily loss limit would be breached, as the previous day’s profit does not carry over into a new day and the open loss of $13,000 exceeds the $10,000 maximum allowed.

The Maximum Daily Loss provides traders with enough leeway while ensuring a clearly defined daily risk for investors. This rule benefits both traders and investors by preventing account values from dropping below the established limit, hence it incorporates potential floating losses.

Maximum Loss
This rule can be termed the "account stop-loss." The equity of your trading account must not fall below 90% of the initial account balance at any point during the account's duration. For a TradingPLUS Step1 account with a balance of $100,000, the lowest allowable equity would be $90,000. This calculation considers both closed and open positions (account equity, not just balance).

The logic is similar to that of the Maximum Daily Loss, but this applies over the entire duration of the evaluation period rather than just a single day. This limit also includes commissions and swaps. The 10% buffer allows traders enough space to demonstrate their account’s suitability for investment, providing a cushion to keep them in the game even if they experience initial losses. This assurance benefits investors by ensuring that a trader's account cannot drop below 90% of its value under any circumstances.

Profit Target
The Profit Target for TradingPLUS Step1 is set at 10% of the initial balance, while for TradingPLUS Step2, it is 6%. This means a trader must achieve a profit from the sum of closed positions on the designated trading account at any point during the unlimited Trading Period. Please note that to progress to the next phase, all positions must be closed. For example, if you are trading TradingPLUS Step1 with a $100,000 account balance, your profit target would be $10,000 for Step1 and $6,000 for Step2.

As a Trading PLUS Trader, we have confidence in your trading skills and risk management abilities, which is why we provide you with top-rated trading conditions. To alleviate the stress of meeting profit targets, we’ve removed the Profit Target requirement, allowing you to trade with peace of mind. The only Trading Objectives you need to focus on are the drawdown rules, specifically the Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss. These key rules are the foundation of our trading philosophy.
Updated: 1 day ago

Can I Trade News as a Trading PLUS Trader?

As a TradingPLUS Trader, you may trade freely during all news releases while in the Step 1 and Step 2 phases of your evaluation process. However, once both evaluation steps are successfully completed, adherence to news trading restrictions becomes essential to mitigate risks associated with market volatility.To ensure fair trading practices, TradingPLUS imposes restrictions during the Funded stage, prohibiting trade execution on designated instruments from two minutes before to two minutes after the release of specified high-impact news events. These restrictions include the opening or closing of positions, modification of orders, and activation of pending orders.Trade execution involves initiating, modifying, or closing a position through various order types, including but not limited to:
  • Market Orders – Immediate execution at the prevailing market price
  • Pending Orders – Orders that activate when the market reaches a predefined price (e.g., limit and stop orders)
  • Stop-Loss Orders – Automatic closure of a position to limit losses
  • Take-Profit Orders – Closure of a position when the price reaches the predefined profit target
Executing a trade—including market orders, triggered pending orders, or the activation/modification of stop-loss and take-profit orders—within the restricted time frame constitutes a violation of the TradingPLUS news trading policy. Violations may result in corrective actions such as trade cancellations, account suspension or termination, or other penalties deemed necessary to ensure compliance. Additionally, all profits gained will be forfeited and will not be available for withdrawal.During restricted news events, traders may continue trading unaffected instruments as usual. For example, pairs such as EURGBP or AUDNZD may be traded freely during the US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) release, whereas instruments like USDJPY or GBPUSD should not be opened or closed within the restricted window.Traders can monitor news release schedules using the Forex Factory Economic Calendar, where restricted events are clearly marked with a red marker for easy identification.Note: The restrictions outlined above do not apply to Step 1 or Step 2 accounts; traders in these phases may trade freely during all news events.

Do I need to close my positions overnight?

During the Step 1 and Step 2 stages of your Trading PLUS evaluation, there is no requirement to close your positions overnight or over the weekend—you have the flexibility to keep them open as you choose.

However, once you become a Trading PLUS Trader and receive your Trading PLUS Account, it is essential to close your positions before the weekend market close or if the rollover (market break) exceeds 2 hours. As a Trading PLUS Trader, adhering to market timings is crucial, as different asset classes and instruments may have varying trading hours.

Standard market hours are available on our trading platforms and on our Symbols page, but please note that these hours may change due to major holidays or other events. We recommend regularly checking the Trading Updates section for any changes.

In MetaTrader, you can view standard market hours for any instrument by opening Market Watch (Ctrl+M), right-clicking on the instrument, and selecting Specification. Scroll down to find the Trade hours for that instrument. In cTrader, go to Markets, right-click the instrument, and select Market Symbol to view trade hours.

If you trade cryptocurrencies, be aware that some can be traded during specific hours over the weekend as well.

What instruments can I trade, and what strategies am I allowed to use?

Your trading style is entirely up to you! At Trading PLUS, we encourage a wide range of strategies as long as your trading is legitimate, adheres to proper risk management, aligns with real market conditions, and avoids prohibited practices. There are no limits on your strategy, whether you prefer discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, or using Expert Advisors (EAs). However, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to achieve similar results as on your Trading PLUS Account. While we don’t require the use of stop-loss orders, it is highly recommended for safety. The maximum volume per order in Forex is 50 lots.

Instruments You Can Trade
You can trade all the instruments available on your trading platform, including:
1. Forex
2. Indices
3. Commodities
4. Stocks
5. Cryptocurrencies

For a full list of available symbols, please refer to this link . If you plan to use trading robots (Expert Advisors), please note that using a third-party EA may lead to other traders employing the same EA and strategy. This could potentially result in exceeding the maximum capital allocation rule, which may lead to a denial of your Trading PLUS Account.

Platform Limits
Please be aware of our platform server limits:
1. 200 orders at a time
2. 2,000 positions per day
3. Restrictions on accepting server messages (including orders and modifications such as TP/SL updates and limit orders)

If your EA generates excessive activity on the platform, we may request that you adjust its logic or parameters.

Trading Integrity

We also encourage you to avoid practices that don’t reflect serious trading. If we identify intentional misuse or repeated behaviours across multiple accounts, we may take necessary measures to manage risk. These actions could involve removing conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, reducing leverage, or even terminating the account.

At Trading PLUS, we encourage you to trade with genuine intent, demonstrating consistency and a true market edge. Happy trading!

Is There a Consistency Rule for Trading PLUS?

Yes, Trading PLUS enforces a comprehensive consistency rule, focusing on lot consistency to foster sustainable trading practices and minimize unnecessary risks.

Lot Consistency Rule
To maintain a consistent trading strategy, Trading PLUS establishes a trading range based on your average trade size throughout the payout review period. Traders are required to maintain consistency each week by staying within specified limits. To adhere to these consistency limits safely, traders should remain within +/- 120% of their weekly average or within a deviation of 1.2. This is determined using three factors (Trading Days, Number of Trades, and Lot Sizes). Each week, our system calculates the average of these indicators and establishes a Maximum Weekly Average Limit (Total × 1.2) and a Minimum Weekly Average Limit (Total ÷ 1.2) for a trader's trade count and lot size consistency.

It's important to clarify that the maximum and minimum limits for consistency specifically apply to the weekly average trade count and lot size, rather than the total number of trades or lots a trader can take.

To understand better, consider the following scenario:

Week 1: You can trade freely without worrying about trade or lot size consistency.
Week 2: Maximum and minimum weekly average limit will be set using the average number of trades and lots you took in Week 1.
Week 3: A maximum and minimum weekly average limit will be set by averaging the number of trades and lots you took in Week 1 and Week 2.
Week 4: Maximum and minimum weekly average limit will be set by averaging the number of trades and lots you took in Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3.

Here's an example of how it would work each week:

Day 1: A trader took 20 trades with a total lot size of 12.
Day 2: There were 15 trades with 11 total lots.
Day 3: There were 19 trades with a total of 15 total lots.
Day 4: There were 26 trades with 18 total lots.
Day 5: There were 0 trades.

So, in total the trader traded a total of 4 days, took a total of 90 trades, and a total lot size of 49 for the week.

Now, for Week 1:
1. The average number of trades would be (total number of trades taken/number of days traded) = 90 ÷ 4, which is 22.5 trades.
2. The average lot size would be (total number of lots used/number of days traded) = 49 ÷ 4, which is 12.25 lots.

So, the consistency to be followed in Week 2 would be the following:

Number of Trades:
  • Maximum Weekly Average Limit
    (Average number of trades taken in Week 1 x 1.2) = 22.5 × 1.2 = 27 trades
  • Minimum Weekly Average Limit
    (Average number of trades taken in Week 1 ÷ 1.2) = 22.5 ÷ 1.2 = 18.75 trades

  • For Lot Size:
    Maximum Weekly Average Limit
    (Average number of lots taken in Week 1 x 1.2) = 12.25 × 1.2 = 14.7 lots
    Minimum Weekly Average Limit
    (Average number of lots taken in Week 1 ÷ 1.2) = 12.25 ÷ 1.2 = 10.21 lots

    Based on the example above, the trader's calculations for Week 2 would be as follows:
    1. Average number of trades at the end of the week: Between 19 trades and 27 trades
    2. Average lot size to be used at the end of the week: Between 10.21 lots and 14.7 lots
    Kindly note that weekly calculations are based on the calendar week, running from Sunday to Saturday.

    Not adhering to these limits will be considered a violation.

    For Week 3, the average of the trading metrics from both Week 1 and Week 2 is calculated. This average is then used to determine the maximum and minimum weekly average limits for both lot size and number of trades. The average is multiplied by 1.2 to establish the upper limit and divided by 1.2 to establish the lower limit, ensuring consistency in trading activity.

    In the event of any rule violations, our agent will conduct a comprehensive review of the trader's account. Depending on the severity of the violation, the payout for that specific cycle may be temporarily suspended. It is important to note that such actions do not result in account termination. Instead, the account will be reset to its initial balance at the start of the next cycle, ensuring fair and transparent enforcement of our rules.
