Formal trading platforms hope that traders can prolong their survival time as much as possible. Only long-term and multiple transactions can generate sufficient handling fees. The income of formal platforms is only handling fees and spreads. It can be said that it is a very small business with low profits. It is a toothache to pay advertising fees. It is rare to hold any feedback activities for traders, let alone bonuses. It is not a formal platform or a black platform directly. I hope that traders can trade with one hammer and lose all their principal as soon as possible, because its profits directly come from the losses of traders. Therefore, in order to attract customers, less formal platforms will conduct frequent bonus activities.

Some "bonuses" cannot be called bonuses at all, and they cannot be withdrawn directly from customers. The most common withdrawal requirement is for a trader to reach a certain volume within a certain period. The purpose of this routine is to allow you to trade frequently or heavily. It is difficult for traders who are not good enough to survive their limited trading conditions. By then, the account will explode before the bonus is received. And some so-called "bonuses" directly declare that they cannot be withdrawn, but can only be used for transactions, and the profits generated by transactions can be withdrawn. To put it bluntly, they are just giving customers a little experience money.

The forms of bonus generally include account opening bonus and deposit bonus. In order to promote, some platforms will directly give you a little trial fee as long as you open an account, which is about ten dollars or five dollars, and the purpose is to let novices experience trading, which is not common now. If there is a large amount of bonus, it is generally a deposit bonus, such as 10% or 30% of the deposit amount, and the required deposit threshold is quite high. Some withdrawals are limited, and some are not withdrawn at all. The purpose of this routine is to allow you to deposit more funds. Only the more you deposit, the more you will lose.

For a pure black platform, there is no risk in trading bonuses, and if it is a big deal, they will run away. For platforms that are not so dark, according to the 80/20 rule, the possibility of long-term survival of traders who open new accounts and make deposits is almost zero, so the possibility of the bonus platform relying on handling fees to recover the bonus is basically zero. Not so dark platforms use the form of bonuses to attract customers, basically losing money and making money, but also face huge risks. The first is the risk of liquidation. Sending the bonus to an unreliable trader can only increase his position and transaction risk. Once a liquidation loss occurs, the loss of the platform will be even greater. The second is to hedge the risk of cashing out. Many platforms are not allowed to withdraw bonus funds. Some traders apply for two bonus accounts and reverse transactions. Until the bonus amount is lost, there will always be one account that can make a profit. Some relatively honest platforms have been cheated for a long time, and they also thought of a trick. It is stipulated that the bonus can only be traded and cannot be withdrawn. What's the use.

Let me give you an example to understand the risks of bonus activities for traders. When I was in school, a new Internet cafe opened nearby. Others paid 2 yuan an hour, it was 1 yuan an hour, and others spent 8 yuan overnight, and it was 4 yuan. Within a few days, it attracted students from three or four surrounding schools, and it was full every day. On weekends, it organizes activities and gets an internet card. How much money you recharge it will give you, and the future internet fee will remain the same, which is equivalent to only 50 cents an hour. So the students who charged money lined up for a mile, and it is conservatively estimated that they collected hundreds of thousands in two days. After the all-night weekend, it was announced that it would be closed for one day on Monday, but the closed sign never took off. Some students looked through the window and saw that the building was already empty, and all the computers and other things had been removed.

Sleepy people have seen a FXDD bonus, many years ago. It suddenly sent me an email, saying that in order to give back to the majority of users, Balabala, each customer will be given 200 US dollars. My account has been useless for a long time, so I went to log in to check it out, and it turned out that there was really $200. This is really a conscience gift event. But I didn't cherish it at the time, and I broke my position in less than a week.

Isn’t this bonus a way for our other industries to engage in marketing and discounts in supermarkets to attract customers and make consumption? Also, let’s talk about discounts in supermarkets. Do you want to buy it if it’s cheap? You usually spend a lot of money when you go to the supermarket, so you don’t save money at all. Because of the discount, you unconsciously buy things that you may not use. This increases the cost, and in the end you just don’t save money. Then let’s talk about the bonus, the same money he gave you, he must earn you from other places, maybe it’s a handling fee, maybe you don’t earn a penny, and then put in more of your own money, or you If you have made money, you will not be allowed to withdraw money if you do not meet certain conditions. There are many tricks, so don't be so naive.

Bonus is a kind of marketing activity, which is essentially to attract customers to invest in the platform.

What is a bonus——

1. The method of bonus

New account opening bonus: For traders who open an account on the platform for the first time, they can get a principal bonus ranging from 10% to 100% according to the rules of different traders.

New Deposit Bonus: To put it simply, every time you deposit, you will be given a bonus in proportion. Of course, this situation is rare. Most of them have a time limit or a limit on the amount of deposit. .

2. Use of bonus

Parallel bonus: It means that the amount of the account and the bonus are proportional to the loss.

For example, if you deposit 10,000 U.S. dollars, 10% of the bonus is 1,000 U.S. dollars. When you lose money, the amount of the loss will be distributed according to 10%. . The total balance is 9100 US dollars principal and 900 bonus.

The bonus in the latter column: it means that the principal should be lost before the bonus can be lost.

For example, if you deposit 1,000 US dollars and get a bonus of 100 US dollars, then you will start to lose the bonus after losing 1,000 of the principal. Most traders choose this method of use.

3. Withdrawal of bonus

There are two main types, one is limited extraction and the other is non-extractable.

Limited withdrawal means that according to the rules of the dealer, after meeting the withdrawal requirements on the transaction, the bonus can be withdrawn, such as trading 100 lots or 100 lots; non-withdrawal bonus means that the bonus can be used as margin for transactions, but cannot be withdrawn.

4. Cancellation of bonus

Bonus is a marketing method. It is impossible to simply deposit 10,000 to get 1,000, and then give out 11,000. In this way, the platform merchant will die.

There are generally three situations in the cancellation system of the bonus:

One is the time limit; if the bonus can only be used for three months, the bonus will be automatically deducted after three months.

The second is the withdrawal restriction; during the period of receiving the bonus, it can only be used for transactions, and cannot be withdrawn. Once the withdrawal is submitted, the bonus will be deducted.

The third is another withdrawal restriction; if a withdrawal is submitted during the transaction period, the amount of the withdrawal corresponds to the amount of the bonus. If you withdraw more, the more bonus will be deducted.

dachshund

Bonus Game——

There are many restrictions on how the bonus can be played. Such as time limit, bonus ratio limit, rebate rules limit, platform business transaction rules limit these restrictions will affect the full use of the bonus to a certain extent.

1. Bonus brush order

Use the bonus for brushing transactions, such as 20% bonus, then you can use this 20% bonus for brushing transactions, such as depositing 10,000 US dollars, and the bonus is 2000, then a good brushing trader, you can Use 2,000 US dollars to frantically swipe orders, even if you lose 2,000, then the number of swiped hands may be hundreds of hands, and you can earn hundreds more rebates.

Restrictions on brushing orders:

Of course, order swiping is subject to the bonus amount exceeding 20%, which can be done, and less than 20%, which is subject to transaction costs. Others are subject to rebate rules, such as no rebate for transactions within 5 minutes, and subject to platform transaction rules, such as scalping transactions are not allowed.

2. Bonus hedging

There are two types of bonus hedging, one is intra-platform hedging, and the other is cross-platform hedging.

However, in addition to the high transaction threshold for hedging itself, there are also restrictions on the platform for hedging. Some platforms do not allow hedging within the platform, and once found, no funds will be given.

Therefore, it is not easy to rely on hedging to achieve stable profits without losses.

Judging from the above introduction, the bonus is also a double-edged sword for the platform. Although it expands the performance, it also increases the risk of market makers.

Therefore, large well-known traders rarely do bonus activities.
