For the bonus funds to be transferred from the field "Credit" to the field "Balance" and the funds become
available for withdrawal or further trading, it is required to conduct the trading operations in the total
volume of:
-
< Number of Lots > = < Bonus amount > / 2 for
Pro, Standard, Raw Spread accounts;
Please note that the value of a lot in this new formula is defined as "the volume equal to $100,000".
Here is an example:
You have deposited $500 and received a $1000 bonus. To move this bonus from the "Credit" wallet to the
"Balance" wallet, you need to trade 500 lots first – which means $50,000,000 of the trading
volume.
You have currently traded 20 lots of USD/CHF and 20 lots of USD/JPY. Since USD is the base
currency in these pairs, the value of a lot is $100,000. Therefore, you have traded exactly $4,000,000 of
the trading volume or 40 lots.
You have also traded 8 lots of EUR/USD at 1.20000. Since EUR is the base currency in this pair, the
value of a lot is 100,000 multiplied by the current price of the pair during the trade. In this case, it’s
$120,000 per lot. Thus, you have traded $960,000 of the trading volume or 9.60 lots.
However, you have also traded 100 shares of Ford stock. The value of a lot on the stock market is
calculated using the asset’s current price in USD. At the moment, it was $11.19, which makes 100 lots
worth $1119 or 0.0112 lots.
Overall, you have traded $4,961,119 in volume or 49.61 lots. Therefore, to withdraw your bonus of
$1000, you need to trade another $45,038,881 or roughly 450.39 lots.
