TradingPLUS is a specialized program crafted for skilled traders seeking to advance their
trading journey. To evaluate if a client meets our professional standards, we’ve established a
two-step Evaluation Process: TradingPLUS Step1 and TradingPLUS Step2. Upon
successfully passing these stages, traders gain access to a TradingPLUS Funded Account,
which provides the opportunity to earn up to 80% of their profits.
With this structured approach, TradingPLUS equips traders to perform at their best,
rewarding them for their success and enabling significant growth.
We welcome clients from around the world, with a few exceptions.
No specific qualifications are required; however, you must be at least 18 years old. Whether
you’re just starting or are a seasoned trader looking to level up, you’re exactly the type of
person we’re looking for.
Please note the following restrictions:
- 1. TradingPLUS does not provide services to individuals from Vietnam, China, and the USA.
- 2. We cannot accept clients on any sanctions lists, individuals with criminal records for financial crimes or terrorism, or those previously banned for contract breaches.
- 3. Additionally, TradingPLUS does not accept legal entities, such as company trusts, as clients.
Ready to take the next step? TradingPLUS is designed for committed individuals seeking real growth and professional trading experience.
Trading can be tough, and many traders face common challenges such as:
- 1. Undercapitalization (trading with insufficient funds)
- 2. Fear of losing personal money
- 3. Psychological pressures
- 4. Lack of discipline
- 5. Limited growth potential
- 6. Inadequate support from their environment
Making a living as a retail trader, especially with your own money, can be difficult. TradingPLUS offers a solution with up to $200,000 in virtual capital through a TradingPLUS Account, allowing you to trade without the fear of losing personal funds.
With our own trading experience, we understand that success involves more than just capital. We provide optimal conditions for clients to enhance their performance, giving them access to our innovative Trading Applications and detailed feedback from our team.
Discipline is a key focus at TradingPLUS. Our account requires a serious approach, and we monitor your trading closely with tools like Account Analysis and Trader’s Analysis. Our rules are designed to help you develop professional risk management habits and avoid common pitfalls like over-trading, revenge trading, and over-leveraging.
Whether you want to compound your account or withdraw your profits, TradingPLUS offers both options. Once you reach the TradingPLUS Trader stage, you can earn real rewards based on your performance, with the option to withdraw profits 14 days after your first trade on your TradingPLUS Account.
Evaluation Process
How to Become a TradingPLUS Trader?
If you're interested in becoming a TradingPLUS Trader, our 2-Step Evaluation Process is designed to assess your trading skills and help you qualify for a funded trading account with TradingPRO. Here’s what you need to know to get started:
Step 1: TradingPLUS Step1
Start by trading with a demo account using virtual capital, where you’ll need to meet specific trading objectives. Our TradingPLUS program offers low commission fees and competitive spreads to give you the best experience. Successfully meeting these requirements allows you to move forward in the evaluation process.
Step 2: TradingPLUS Step2
Once you qualify, you’ll proceed with another demo account to verify consistency and trading performance. The requirements are more flexible in Step2, so you can continue to refine your strategy. For detailed guidelines, check out our Trading Objectives page.
After passing both steps, you’ll become eligible to join the ranks of TradingPLUS Traders. To activate your funded account, you’ll need to provide valid identification, such as a passport or national ID, and complete the KYC verification according to TradingPRO’s compliance policies.
Eligibility Requirements
Please note that TradingPLUS does not provide services to traders from Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and the USA, as well as individuals with criminal histories related to financial crimes or terrorism, those under 18, persons on sanction lists, company trusts, and anyone previously banned for contract breaches. TradingPRO reserves the right to terminate contracts if any of these criteria are met post-agreement.
Important: Your previous track record is not required for TradingPLUS Account qualification. Our program evaluates you based on the 2-Step Evaluation Process.
To qualify as a TradingPLUS Trader, the process requires a minimum of 5 trading days in
each step of the evaluation—Step1 and Step2. These trading days don’t need to be
consecutive, allowing you flexibility. There’s no maximum time limit to complete the
Evaluation Process, so you can progress at your own pace.
Once you meet all the Trading Objectives and your trades are approved, you can swiftly
advance to the next step. Overall, it’s possible to access your TradingPLUS Account in just
10 trading days, making it an efficient way to begin trading with us.
Congratulations on successfully completing all Trading Objectives in your TradingPLUS
Step1! You’ll receive a notification in your client portal and a confirmation email. There’s no
need for further trading on this account, as your objectives will be marked as complete.
Our system will automatically recognize your achievement and send you a passing certificate
along with login credentials for your TradingPLUS Step2 account. From here, you’re ready
to advance to the final step in your journey to becoming a TradingPLUS Trader.
Your TradingPLUS Account balance will match the account size you selected in Trading
PLUS Step1. For instance, if your Step1 balance was $200,000, your TradingPLUS Account
will also be set at $200,000.
To clarify, accounts provided in Step1 and Step2 stages are demo accounts with virtual
funds. Once you become a TradingPLUS Trader, you’ll receive access to a TradingPLUS
Funded Live Account where you can earn up to 80% of profits generated from live trading.
If you’re looking to trade with a higher balance, you can apply for another TradingPLUS
Step1. Please note that each new TradingPLUS Step1 requires completion of the full
evaluation process from the beginning. TradingPLUS allows a maximum capital allocation
of $200,000 per trader based on the initial TradingPLUS Step1 package selected.
TradingPLUS Step1 is the foundational stage of our evaluation process. Before you can
access your TradingPLUS Account, we must ensure that you can trade responsibly and
effectively manage risk. Your simulated trades during this phase will serve as a basis
for your
future trading in real financial markets.
During the TradingPLUS Step1 stage, you’ll encounter reasonable rules and guidelines
designed to help you succeed. The Profit Target is aligned with the allowable drawdown,
forming what we refer to as the Trading Objectives.
There is no time limit for achieving the Profit Target, making the Trading Period
indefinite.
The minimum requirement to complete TradingPLUS Step1 is to trade for at least 5
trading
days. Once you meet all the Trading Objectives and your results are reviewed, you can
advance to the TradingPLUS Step2 phase. Below are the Trading Objectives you will need
to
fulfill.
Trading period
Having peace of mind is essential for focusing entirely on your trading performance. To
minimize unnecessary pressure on our traders, the Trading Period is completely unlimited.
With TradingPLUS, you can take all the time you need to reach your Profit Target.
Minimum Trading Days
To fulfill this requirement, you must trade for a minimum of 5 days during the current cycle,
opening at least one position each day. A trading day is defined as any day when at least one
trade is executed. If a trade spans multiple days, only the day on which the trade was initiated
counts as the trading day.
Maximum Daily Loss
This rule, often referred to as the “trader’s daily stop-loss,” is set at 5% of your initial
account balance. This means that at any moment during the day (CE(S)T = Central European Summer
Time), the total of all closed position results combined with your current floating
profits/losses must not exceed this daily loss limit. The formula for calculating your current
daily loss is:
Current Daily Loss = Results of Closed Positions for the Day + Results of Open Positions
For instance, if you have a TradingPLUS Step1 account balance of $200,000, your
Maximum Daily Loss would be $10,000. If you incur a loss of $8,000 from closed trades, your
account cannot decline by more than $2,000 that day, including any open floating losses. This
limit includes commissions and swaps.
Conversely, if you earn a profit of $5,000 in one day, you can afford to lose up to $15,000, but
not more. Keep in mind that your Maximum Daily Loss also includes open trades. For
example, if you close trades with a $6,000 loss and subsequently open a new trade that goes
into a floating loss of -$5,700 but eventually turns profitable, it’s too late; your daily loss
would have reached -$11,700 at one point, exceeding the permitted limit of $10,000.
Be aware that the Maximum Daily Loss resets at midnight (CE(S)T). For example, if you close
a day with a $4,000 profit but have an open position with a floating loss of $13,000, your
current daily loss would be $9,000 ($4,000 closed profit - $13,000 open position), so you
wouldn’t violate the limit. However, if you hold that position past midnight, the daily loss
limit
would be breached, as the previous day’s profit does not carry over into a new day and the open
loss of $13,000 exceeds the $10,000 maximum allowed.
The Maximum Daily Loss provides traders with enough leeway while ensuring a clearly
defined daily risk for investors. This rule benefits both traders and investors by preventing
account values from dropping below the established limit, hence it incorporates potential
floating losses.
Maximum Loss
This rule can be termed the "account stop-loss." The equity of your trading account must not
fall below 90% of the initial account balance at any point during the account's duration. For a
TradingPLUS Step1 account with a balance of $100,000, the lowest allowable equity would
be $90,000. This calculation considers both closed and open positions (account equity, not just
balance).
The logic is similar to that of the Maximum Daily Loss, but this applies over the entire
duration
of the evaluation period rather than just a single day. This limit also includes commissions and
swaps. The 10% buffer allows traders enough space to demonstrate their account’s suitability
for investment, providing a cushion to keep them in the game even if they experience initial
losses. This assurance benefits investors by ensuring that a trader's account cannot drop below
90% of its value under any circumstances.
Profit Target
The Profit Target for TradingPLUS Step1 is set at 10% of the initial balance, while for
TradingPLUS Step2, it is 6%. This means a trader must achieve a profit from the sum of
closed positions on the designated trading account at any point during the unlimited Trading
Period.
Please note that to progress to the next phase, all positions must be closed. For example, if
you are trading TradingPLUS Step1 with a $100,000 account balance, your profit target
would be $12,000 for Step1 and $6,000 for Step2.
The TradingPLUS Step2 stage is the final step in our evaluation process, aimed at assessing
your trading consistency. We want to ensure that you can successfully execute your trading
system or strategy profitably over the long term while adhering to the established
rules.
The TradingPLUS Step2 stage features easier Trading Objectives compared to Step1, as
the Profit Target is reduced by half. Similar to the first step, you have an unlimited amount
of time to meet these objectives.
Once you successfully meet all the Trading Objectives and your results are reviewed, you
can finalize your TradingPLUS Identity to sign the contract for your TradingPLUS
Account.
No need to wait any longer!
Following are the Trading Objectives.

As a TradingPLUS Trader, you have the freedom to trade during all news releases in the
Step1 and Step2 phases of your evaluation process. However, once you successfully
complete both evaluation steps, it’s essential to exercise caution during news announcements.
Below is a trade restriction table specifically for TradingPLUS Traders. You are prohibited
from opening new trades or closing existing trades on certain instruments from 2 minutes
before to 2 minutes after the release of specific news announcements listed in the table. This
policy is designed to help you manage risk effectively while navigating market volatility.
To clarify, executing a trade encompasses opening or closing any pending orders, including
stop-loss or take-profit orders, as well as market orders. You may maintain any trades on the
specified instruments that were opened more than 2 minutes prior to the restricted news
event. Please be aware that if your stop-loss or take-profit orders are triggered during the
restricted time frame, it may constitute a violation of the TradingPLUS Account
Agreement.
You are free to trade other non-targeted instruments as usual. For instance, you can trade
pairs like EURGBP or AUDNZD during the US NFP release. However, it is advisable to
avoid opening or closing positions on USDJPY or GBPUSD within the 2 minutes before and
after the NFP release.
For your convenience, you can monitor the news release schedule in our Economic Calendar,
where restricted events are highlighted with a red background.
Please note that the restrictions outlined above do not apply to Step1 or Step2 accounts. For
news announcements affecting the USD, the restrictions are applicable to any instruments
involving the USD currency, as well as the following indices: US30.cash, US100.cash,
US500.cash, and US2000.cash
During the Step 1 and Step 2 stages of your TradingPLUS evaluation, there is no
requirement to close your positions overnight or over the weekend—you have the flexibility
to keep them open as you choose.
However, once you become a TradingPLUS Trader and receive your TradingPLUS
Account, it is essential to close your positions before the weekend market close or if the
rollover (market break) exceeds 2 hours. As a TradingPLUS Trader, adhering to market
timings is crucial, as different asset classes and instruments may have varying trading hours.
Standard market hours are available on our trading platforms and on our Symbols page, but
please note that these hours may change due to major holidays or other events. We
recommend regularly checking the Trading Updates section for any changes.
In MetaTrader, you can view standard market hours for any instrument by opening Market
Watch (Ctrl+M), right-clicking on the instrument, and selecting 'Specification.' Scroll down
to find the 'Trade' hours for that instrument. In cTrader, go to Markets, right-click the
instrument, and select 'Market Symbol' to view trade hours.
If you trade cryptocurrencies, be aware that some can be traded during specific hours over
the weekend as well.
Your trading style is entirely up to you! At TradingPLUS, we encourage a wide range of
strategies as long as your trading is legitimate, adheres to proper risk management, aligns with
real market conditions, and avoids prohibited practices. There are no limits on your strategy,
whether you prefer discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, or using Expert Advisors (EAs).
However, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to achieve
similar results as on your TradingPLUS Account. While we don’t require the use of stop-loss
orders, it is highly recommended for safety. The maximum volume per order in Forex is 50 lots.
Instruments You Can Trade
You can trade all the instruments available on your trading platform, including:
- Forex
- Indices
- Commodities
- Stocks
- Cryptocurrencies
For a full list of available symbols, please refer to this link.
If you plan to use trading robots (Expert Advisors), please note that using a third-party EA may lead to other traders employing the same EA and strategy. This could potentially result in exceeding the maximum capital allocation rule, which may lead to a denial of your Trading PLUS Account.
Platform Limits
Please be aware of our platform server limits:
- 200 orders at a time
- 2,000 positions per day
- Restrictions on accepting server messages (including orders and modifications such as TP/SL updates and limit orders)
If your EA generates excessive activity on the platform, we may request that you adjust its logic or parameters.
Trading Integrity
We also encourage you to avoid practices that don’t reflect serious trading. If we identify intentional misuse or repeated behaviours across multiple accounts, we may take necessary measures to manage risk. These actions could involve removing conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, reducing leverage, or even terminating the account.
At TradingPLUS, we encourage you to trade with genuine intent, demonstrating consistency and a true market edge. Happy trading!
Yes, TradingPLUS enforces a comprehensive consistency rule, focusing on both lot
consistency and profit stability.
Lot Consistency Rule
To maintain a consistent trading strategy, TradingPLUS establishes a trading range based
on your average trade size throughout the payout review period. The upper and lower limits
of this range are set by doubling your average trade size for the maximum threshold and
reducing it by 75% for the minimum threshold. For instance, if your average trade size is 20
lots, your consistent trading range would span from 5 to 40 lots. Trades outside this range are
reviewed and may result in deductions from your total profit share. The range calculation
includes all closed orders from your initial trade up to the payout request date, with the
average trade size finalized upon payout request.
Calculating the Lot Consistency Range
To determine your average trade size, divide the total traded lot volume by the number of
executed trades. Multiply this average by 0.25 for the lower range limit and by 2.00 for the
upper limit. Each partial order counts as an individual trade in this calculation, which occurs
during the payout review process.
- Lot Size Calculation: Total Lot Volume / Executed Trades = Average Lot Size
- Lower Range: Average Lot Size x 0.25
- Upper Range: Average Lot Size x 2.00
Example
- Average Lot Size: 5
- Bottom of Range: 1.25 lots
- Top of Range: 10 lots
In this scenario, trades within the 1.25 to 10-lot range are considered consistent. Any trades outside this lot consistency range will not contribute to your trading days and may reduce your total profit.
The legal relationship between a TradingPLUS Trader and their TradingPLUS Account
is established and governed by the TradingPLUS Account Agreement. This agreement is
signed after successfully completing the TradingPLUS Step 1, Step 2, and the KYC
(Know Your Customer) process.
Your status as a Natural Person or Legal Entity will be determined based on the selection
you made during your initial order purchase, reflecting whether you registered as a Natural
Person or a Legal Entity.
For a sample of the TradingPLUS Account contract or any further inquiries, feel free to
contact us at [email protected].
Once you successfully meet the Trading Objectives for your Step 2 account, you will
receive an email containing the agreement for your TradingPLUS account. To proceed with
the signing process, simply follow these steps:
- Review the Agreement: Carefully read through the agreement and ensure all details are accurate.
- Sign the Agreement: Once you’re satisfied with the terms, sign the agreement.
- Submit the Agreement: Click the submit button to send the signed agreement back to us.
Compliance Checks:
- Typically, compliance checks take less than 1 business day for personal registrations and up to 3 business days for company registrations.
After our compliance team verifies all the information, your TradingPLUS account will be activated, and you’ll be ready to start trading.
To complete the TradingPLUS Account Agreement and process payout invoices, you will need
to provide the following:
- Recent selfie: A photo of yourself taken to verify your identity, ensuring that the individual submitting the KYC documents matches the identity provided.
- Valid government-issued ID: A passport or ID card sFhowing your nationality. If your ID is in one of the following languages—Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Bengali, Burmese, Dari, Dhivehi, Farsi, Georgian, Hindi, Khmer, Kinyarwanda, Lao, Mongolian, Nepali, Sinhalese, or Urdu—please use an international passport with Latin alphabet transcription. Note: we do not accept driving licenses, residence permits, or other documents that do not display nationality.
- Proof of address: A document that includes your full name, address, and issue date, such as a bank statement, account statement, lease agreement, letter from a recognized public authority, or a utility bill (gas, electricity, water, internet, etc.). The proof of address must be no older than 3 months.
Please ensure your proof of address is in Latin, Arabic, Serbian, Ukrainian, Russian, or Japanese. Documents in the Latin alphabet are processed faster, while others may take longer. If the document is in a different alphabet, please include a translation into English.
We accept documents in the Latin alphabet, as well as Arabic, Serbian, Ukrainian, Russian, and
Japanese. Documents in the Latin alphabet are processed more quickly. Submissions in other
alphabets may take longer, so we recommend providing English translations for faster
processing.
If the documents submitted are insufficient, we may request additional information or
documentation after review.
TradingPLUS Traders will receive an account with the same balance size chosen during their
TradingPLUS Step 1 and Step 2.
To clarify, after becoming a TradingPLUS Trader, you will be provided with an MT5 account
containing virtual capital corresponding to your selected package. Clients are entitled to up to
80% of the profits generated on the TradingPLUS Account.
We do not offer account upgrades, so please choose the appropriate account size when setting
up your TradingPLUS Step 1. However, you can start a new TradingPLUS Step 1, and after
successfully completing another Evaluation Process, you will be granted an additional Trading
PLUS Account. Please note that the maximum capital allocation per trader across Trading
PLUS Accounts is $200,000.
Once a client becomes a TradingPLUS Trader, they are provided with an MT5 account funded
with virtual capital.
The TradingPLUS Account operates with virtual funds but uses real market quotes provided by
liquidity providers. It’s important to note that, for TradingPLUS purposes, these liquidity
providers do not supply any real money or liquidity—only market quotes. As a result, clients do
not execute trades using live funds.
Although TradingPLUS Traders use simulated capital, they can still earn real money as a
reward for generating profits on their TradingPLUS Account. By successfully trading with this
virtual capital, traders demonstrate their skills and the value of the provided data, qualifying
them for profit payouts.
Clients can request a payout 14 calendar days after their first trade on the TradingPLUS
Account, provided they have generated profits from their simulated trading. Subsequent
withdrawals follow a 14-day interval from the date of the initial payout request. This schedule
is fixed by the system and cannot be adjusted.
Payouts are processed within 2-3 business days after invoice confirmation. You can receive
your profits via cryptocurrencies, or any other available methods listed in the client
portal.
There is no minimum profit requirement to qualify for a Profit Split, other than covering
transaction fees.* You can withdraw any profit earned, keeping 80% for yourself. Alternatively,
you may choose to leave the Profit Split in your account to grow your balance and enhance your
drawdown buffer.
*Notes: To cover transaction fees, a minimum closed profit of $20 is required for bank wire
transfers and $50 for crypto payouts.
Yes, you are solely responsible for paying any taxes, levies, or fees that apply to you under the TradingPLUS Account Agreement, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. TradingPLUS is not authorized to offer tax advice or instructions.
You can view the account specifications directly in the trading platform.
Please make sure to review the details and conditions of each instrument you trade.
The leverage we offer is up to 1:100 and cannot be increased.
You can find symbol specifications and trading hours on the Symbols site , and platform
maintenance schedules and important updates on the Trading updates site.
TradingPLUS provides simulated trading services and educational tools designed for traders.
From the beginning, our aim has been to create an environment that closely mirrors real market
conditions throughout the Evaluation Process, Free Trial, and TradingPLUS Account stages. In
the Free Trial, you can experience our trading setup at no cost, and we highly recommend
testing it before moving forward with the Evaluation Process.
Are there differences in execution for different clients?
No, all execution settings are the same for every client, whether they are on a Free Trial,
Trading
PLUS Step 1, TradingPLUS Step 2, or a TradingPLUS Account. We do not differentiate
between client groups. Every client enjoys identical execution and account settings on the
trading platform, with no variations at any stage, regardless of their trading performance.
Can I experience execution delays?
Execution delays are a natural part of real market trading and occur across all trading
platforms
and servers. To simulate this on TradingPLUS’s servers, we apply a delay of up to 200 ms.
Other factors that can influence execution delays include your geographical distance from the
server or data centre, the quality of your internet connection, and overall latency. These
delays
are applied consistently to all users on the platform and are not personalized for individual
clients. You can monitor your execution speed in the journal section of your platform terminal.
Why does TradingPLUS charge a commission on certain asset classes?
To accurately replicate the dynamics of financial markets and adhere to industry standards, we
apply simulated commissions when executing trades. You can find detailed commission
information for each asset class on our website and within the trading platform. This approach
helps create a realistic trading environment, allowing traders to effectively test their
strategies.
We are proud to offer one of the lowest and most competitive commission structures in the
industry.
Does TradingPLUS apply hidden markups or extra slippage?
No, we do not apply hidden markups or added slippage. Trades are executed according to the
prices shown on the trading platform. If slippage does occur, it results from technical delays
and
can be either positive or negative, with no preference for either direction.
How does trade copying impact TradingPLUS Traders?
If TradingPLUS decides to copy a client’s trades, the replication technology functions in a
separate environment, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with the client’s account. The client’s
trading conditions remain unaffected, regardless of whether their trades are being copied.
