Introduction

Bonuses are incentives provided by brokers to cTrader users to encourage their trading activities. Bonus funds are kept separately from a user’s account balance and can be used to trade and perform other actions.

Bonuses in One Minute!

  • A broker can send bonuses to a user’s trading account, and the user receives these funds instantly.
  • A user can trade with bonuses only in combination with funds from their balance.
  • Brokers determine how bonuses are received and spent by users.
  • Bonuses may be converted into balance as determined by a broker's policies.
