XM 100% deposit

[ZDi9250]

Hi Guys, so i took advantage of the XM 100% deposit, i was told that the bonus is non withdrawable which makes sense, but now my question is?

1. Does anyone know how the bonus functions?

For example i was told that it will become part of your equity, so i was under the impression that if you were to make a loss, that loss would first be eliminated against the bonus amount until this bonus amount is eliminated…

But when i made a loss, it was removed from both the equity and my cash balance, which makes no sense to me,

can someone please explain? the consultants are absolutely useless

Oh well I can understand their “consultant”. They already have achieved what they are aiming for with their bonus offer – to make you deposit…
You should go carefully through the terms and conditions of the offer, however I doubt that the bonus will actually serve to help a client. It is there just to attract you.

well of course they are.

Just an advice, do not trust brokers who offer tempting bonus offers, in most cases it’s just a complicated scheme. Read carefully the T&C for the bonus section.
Here are some threads on the matter in which the posts are quite useful and the scheme is explained in details:

A question for all the experienced traders

Pure…not to pick on you… but something tells me that the fact you are even really asking this question tells more bout your mentality towards trading… that you don't actually in your heart see it as a business that needs to be confronted by developing a business plan, lots of experimentation using the scientific method, and basing your rules on empirical evidence. Your thinking "free money!" This is just not the mentality taht will get you where you want. I'm sure there are forums ou…

Hotforex 100% credit bonus --- Not Really a Bonus?

Well, its up to you whether to put the bonus into work or reject it. News traders which take exceptionally high risk find such bonuses useful to increase deposit resistance to drawdowns, but for usual trading it may bring little benefit. Always control your trading risks with stop losses and properly chosen lot size and you are guaranteed to trade without deposit blowouts.

Brokers which add bonuses to your deposit :53:

Hello. Here's an easier way to understand it all: "No deposit bonus" (or "promotion" or "prize" if you will): You don't have deposit any of your own money. The broker gives you capital to trade with normally for a fixed period of time after which the bonus amount is withdrawn from your trading account but you're free to withdraw your profits at any time. Think of it as ME lending YOU, for example, €1 000 and saying to you "right: I'm lending you €1 000 for three months to trade with. Any p…

CySEC close to issuing ban on Retail Forex deposit bonuses

To be honest, I’m a little conflicted since I’ve been using xm.com as one of my brokers for the past couple of years and their allround service has been nothing short of stellar. Their bonus system is also totally transparent, no strings, no catches besides of course you can’t withdraw the bonus itself but all profits are immediately available for withdrawal. I’ve in fact tested it myself with a small amount of money and I had no problems. But of course some might counter with, yes perhaps yo…
