Something wicked this trade comes: scary Halloween stories about trading

Prepare your Jack-o-Lanterns, it’s Halloween time! The scary good holiday is around the corner, complete with pumpkins, creepy costumes, and tales to tell in the dark. But not all of those tales deal with the supernatural: sometimes it’s trading that can get scary! Here are some of these tales that we’ve collected to calm your fears.

• “I uploaded my passport. Could someone steal my data and money?”

To verify your account, you need to upload your documents. Every document is checked by authorized personnel of the platform. No one else can access them or your personal data — on top of that, everything is encrypted.

• “My withdrawal was declined. Can I kiss my money goodbye?”

In certain cases, our AML/KYC policy requires us to request additional verification (selfie). Don’t worry, we check those quickly and you can create a withdrawal request right after your selfie is verified. Additionally, a withdrawal request can be declined if you made a typo when providing details for the transaction.

• “As soon as I started earning, something happened to my profile and I suspect the platform!”

Financial markets are fluid and ever changing, and so is trading. A strategy that worked a week ago may not work as well today. Our advice is to learn several strategies and understand what’s behind them. This way you will always be able to evaluate market situation and choose what works best.

• “I used a deposit bonus. Am I stuck now with no chance to withdraw my money?”

Good news! You can withdraw money with a deposit bonus just the same as usual. A deposit bonus is a no strings attached deal, however, you can use it as a safety net and even turn it into real money by completing the turnover. It is a win-win situation.

• “Trading on Demo was great — why I am losing money on Real account?”

Demo and Real accounts have the same assets, charts, and instruments but there is one important difference, and this is where trading psychology comes into play. Knowing that Demo money is just that - — virtual and replenishable — allows you to make bold decisions, take risks, and use strategies you otherwise would not. Our advice: try to limit your Demo balance to emulate trading with real money.
