To do so, the trader may click the “Reports” button, in the upper right hand corner of the page, then in the “transactions” tab, in the volume will appear in addition to the bonus reports. The trader has the ability to view the bonus report, which tracks the volume on a day-to-day basis.

For example: you are granted a pending welcome bonus of 25% on your deposit. If you deposited $300, your pending bonus is $75. The volume requirement is 40 times $75, equaling $3,000. Once you trade a volume of $3,000, the $75 will be released into your balance and available for any given needs.

Due to the extent of the bonus that could, sometimes, exceedingly improve the state of the trader’s account.

Execution Practices in the Financial Instruments
Slippage
You are warned that Slippage may occur when trading in Financial Instruments. This is the situation when at the time that an Order is presented for execution, the specific price showed to the Client may not be available; therefore, the Order will be executed close to or a number of pips away from the Client’s requested price. So, Slippage is the difference between the expected price of an Order, and the price the Order is actually executed at. If the execution price is better than the price requested by the Client, this is referred to as positive slippage. If the executed price is worse than the price requested by the Client, this is referred to as negative slippage. Please be advised that Slippage is a normal element when trading in financial instruments. Slippage more often occurs during periods of illiquidity or higher volatility (for example due to news announcements, economic events and market openings and other factors) making an Order at a specific price impossible to execute. your Orders may not be executed at declared prices. Slippage may appear in all types of accounts we offer. It is noted that Slippage can occur also during Stop loss orders, Limit orders, and other types of Orders. We do not guarantee the execution of your Pending Orders at the price specified. However, we confirm that your Order will be executed at the next best available market price from the price you have specified under your pending Order.
