Here are some potential deductions that you should consider and be mindful of:
Lot consistency rule:
When requesting a withdrawal, we review your trading history to ensure all trades comply with your trading range. Any trades that fall outside this range will be adjusted and removed from your balance at the time of withdrawal. Below is a detailed explanation of how to calculate your trading range and understand the lot size consistency rules.
Detail explanation:
Determining Your Trading Range
To calculate your trading range, follow these steps:
Find Your Average Lot Size:
Divide the total lot volume you have traded by the number of executed trades.
Formula:
Example:
Total lots traded: 100
Total trades executed: 50
Average lot size: 100/50 = 2
Calculate Your Lot Size Range:
Bottom of Range: Average Lot Size × 0.25
Top of Range: Average Lot Size × 1.5
Example:
Average Lot Size: 2
Bottom of Range: 2×0.25= 0.5
Top of Range: 2×1.5= 3
Result: Your trades must be between 0.5 lots and 3 lots. Trades outside this range will be removed.
Trade Stacking and Lot Size Consistency
Definition of Trade Stacking:
If multiple trades are opened on the same instrument within a short period (3 minutes), they are classified as one overall trade for exposure purposes. However, their lot sizes are calculated individually when determining lot size consistency.
Example of Trade Stacking:
A trader opens 5 trades of 3.00 lots each on GBPUSD within 3 minutes.
Overall exposure:
5×3.00=15.00 lots (classified as one trade).
Impact on Lot Size Consistency:
If the average lot size range is 0.5-3 lots, the cumulative 15.00 lots is outside the range.
Despite the individual trades (3.00 lots) being within the range, the overall trade is deducted upon review.
Single Trade Limit:
When you request a payout on our Arctic accounts, we review your trades as part of our compliance process. If any single trade contributes more than 50% of the requested payout, that trade will be deemed invalid. The profit from that trade will be deducted from the total payout request, and the remaining amount will be approved for payout. This policy is designed to ensure fair and consistent trading practices. If multiple trades are opened on the same instrument within a short period (3 minutes), they are classified as one overall trade.
Example:
Suppose you request a payout of $2,000, and one of your trade has a profit of $1,200. Since this trading day exceeds 50% of the requested payout ($1,000), the $1,200 profit from that trade will be excluded. The remaining $800 in profits will be approved for payout.
