Frequently Asked Questions

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. TradingPRO reserves the right to terminate contracts if any of these criteria are met post-agreement.

Important: Your previous track record is not required for Trading PLUS Account qualification. Our program evaluates you based on the 2-Step Evaluation Process

To qualify as a Trading PLUS Trader, the process requires a minimum of 5 trading days in each step of the evaluation—Step1 and Step2. These trading days don’t need to be consecutive, allowing you flexibility. There’s no maximum time limit to complete the Evaluation Process, so you can progress at your own pace.

Once you meet all the Trading Objectives and your trades are approved, you can swiftly advance to the next step. Overall, it’s possible to access your Trading PLUS Account in just 10 trading days, making it an efficient way to begin trading with us.

Congratulations on successfully completing all Trading Objectives in your Trading PLUS Step1! You’ll receive a notification in your client portal and a confirmation email. There’s no need for further trading on this account, as your objectives will be marked as complete.

Our system will automatically recognize your achievement and send you a passing certificate along with login credentials for your Trading PLUS Step2 account. From here, you’re ready to advance to the final step in your journey to becoming a Trading PLUS Trader

Your Trading PLUS Account balance will match the account size you selected in Trading PLUS Step1. For instance, if your Step1 balance was $200,000, your Trading PLUS Account will also be set at $200,000.

To clarify, accounts provided in Step1 and Step2 stages are demo accounts with virtual funds. Once you become a Trading PLUS Trader, you’ll receive access to a Trading PLUS Funded Live Account where you can earn up to 80% of profits generated from live trading.

If you’re looking to trade with a higher balance, you can apply for another Trading PLUS Step1. Please note that each new Trading PLUS Step1 requires completion of the full evaluation process from the beginning. Trading PLUS allows a maximum capital allocation of $200,000 per trader based on the initial Trading PLUS Step1 package selected.

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 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.
