A credit bonus is a promotional trading credit awarded to your trading account by VT Markets to enhance your trading capacity and support active positions. It functions by increasing your usable margin (Equity) and strengthening your account’s resistance against adverse market movements. Credit bonuses cannot be withdrawn as cash and are subject to specific deduction rules whenever a withdrawal or internal transfer is requested.

Credit Bonus Functions and Equity Calculation

• Trading Account Equity Calculation Formula:

  • Trading Account Equity represents: Trading Account Balance + Floating Profit/Loss + Credit Bonus.

• Stop-Out Buffer:

  • The credit bonus automatically adds to your Trading Account Equity, elevating your overall margin level.

  • By expanding total account equity, it provides an essential buffer that helps prevent early stop-outs during adverse market price fluctuations.

• Increased Position Capacity:

  • The credit bonus adds directly to your free margin, allowing you to open larger trade sizes (higher lot volume) than your balance alone would permit.

     

Credit Bonus Deduction Rules When Making a Withdrawal or Transfer

When applying for an internal transfer or withdrawal, the client portal displays a system prompt reminding you that your credit bonus could be affected.

• Credit Bonus adjustment when making a Withdrawal request

  • Credit bonuses cannot be withdrawn or cashed out. If you made a withdrawal request, regardless of whether your withdrawal request is successfully approved, a portion or the entirety of your credit bonus in your trading account will be deducted the moment you submit the withdrawal request; this credit bonus will not be restored.

  • Transaction Record Notes: If a deduction appears in your transaction history marked as Deduct Credit-AuditWithdrawal or Credit Out-AuditWithdrawalit signifies the automated or compliance removal of promotional credits due to an outgoing transfer or withdrawal.

• Credit Bonus adjustment when making an internal transfer (transfer funds between trading accounts) request

  • Once your trading account satisfies the required account conditions, a Transfer option becomes available on the transfer funds page, enabling you to transfer credit bonus to other trading accounts. However, the credit bonus will be subject to a partial deduction. Credits cannot be transferred freely without meeting some account requirements.
