Scaling: Scaling refers to doubling the account size. This will use 5% of the account’s starting balance. You must have a 10% gain in the account balance in order to qualify for a scale.

Breach: This is what happens when the rules are broken, for example, if your Drawdown falls below the threshold, your account will breach. Therefore it is inactive and cannot be used again. You can purchase a new account from the dashboard.

MT4/5: These are the two trading platforms we currently have available.

Spreads: A spread refers to the difference or gap between two prices. For example on EURUSD, the difference in the price would be considered the spread. The closer the spreads, the better.

Am I Able to Change from MT4 to MT5 or Vice Versa?

If you’re considering creating a new account, rest assured that it’s entirely possible with our platform. However, please keep in mind that this process involves closing your existing account and opening a new one, which incurs additional costs due to our broker’s charges for each trading account creation. There is a $20 fee to swap platforms. 

Alternatively, if you finish Phase 1 for example, and you have not yet had your Phase 2 or Instant Funding account credentials, you can email us and we can swap your platform before your account upgrade, this way we can avoid the fee for you.
