Regulations for obtaining Gold Status

Each company client is eligible to obtain Gold status and access additional privileges from AMarkets.

The conditions for obtaining Gold status are listed below.
 

Terms and Definitions

  • Balance — the amount of funds in the account, excluding floating profit/loss of all open positions.
  • Equity — balance plus or minus any floating profit or loss on open operations.
  • Volume — the total trading turnover on all positions opened and closed in a specific period of time, expressed in lots. For example, if a trader opens and closes 10 lots on the first trading day, and trades another 15 lots on the second day, then the trading volume for two days will be 25 lots.
  • Gold status verification date — 30th day after the receipt or last renewal of Gold status.

 

Conditions for the initial acquisition of Gold status

The initial Gold status is granted automatically after a client fulfills two following conditions:

  1. The account equity is equal to or exceeds $20,000/€20,000;
  2. The total volume of all client’s transactions with AMarkets is at least 150 lots*.

To ensure that the status is granted in a timely manner, the system checks the client’s equity and trading volume daily (once a day). Upon reaching the Gold status, the client will receive a notification in his Personal area, by email and push message.

Gold status is granted for 30 days and provides the client access to the privileges.

Requirements for Gold status

Equity $20,000/€20,000
Trading volume 150 lots*
Duration 30 days
Status cancellation If in the last 30 days after obtaining Gold status, the trading volume is less than 50 lots* and/or the account balance is less than $20,000/€20,000 at the time of status verification.

 

Conditions for maintaining Gold status

To maintain the Gold status, the client must, within 30 days from the date of its receipt:

  1. Complete a trading turnover of 50 lots*
  2. The account equity must be at least $20,000/€20,000 at the time of verification.

If the client meets both conditions, the Gold status will be extended for the next 30 days.

If one or both of these conditions aren’t met, the client loses the privileges of Gold status. To reclaim Gold status, the client must fulfill the conditions as mentioned above, namely, achieve a trading volume of 50 lots and have an account balance of at least $20,000/€20,000.

*The calculation of a trading volume includes the following instruments:

  1. Currency pairs (FX), metals and commodities.
  2. Indices in a 20:1 ratio, where 20 lots on any index are equal to one lot on currency pairs or metals.

**Trading and credit bonuses are not included in the equity calculation.
 

1. Introduction

1.1 These guidelines outline the operational framework for the “Real Money Cashback” loyalty program offered by AMarkets (hereafter referred to as the Company).

1.2 The provisions outlined herein are applicable to all participants of the loyalty program. By joining the “Real Money Cashback” loyalty program, clients implicitly agree to abide by these guidelines.

1.3 Within the “Real Money Cashback” loyalty program, clients are entitled to receive compensation for a portion of the commission, spread or swap paid as a result of their trading transactions, as specified in the Regulatory documents.

1.4 The amount of compensation for the commission, spread or swap paid is determined at the sole discretion of the Company.

1.5 The Company reserves the right to amend or supplement these guidelines at any time unilaterally. Every effort will be made to communicate such changes to clients through all available channels of communication.

1.6. Furthermore, the Company retains the authority to modify these guidelines either individually for each client or collectively for specific client groups, at its own discretion.

1.7 The Company reserves the right to disqualify the Client from the “Real Money Cashback” loyalty program and withhold further payments without explanation if there is reason to believe that the Client is exploiting the program’s terms.
 

2. General Terms and Conditions

2.1 The “Real Money Cashback” loyalty program allows the Client to receive a portion of the commission, spread or swap paid on closed trades over a specified period.

Real Money – the cashback is paid out in actual currency (USD, EUR, etc.), not in bonus credits or points.

Cashback – refers to a rebate or refund of a percentage of the fees paid on closed transactions, such as commissions, spreads, or swaps.

2.2 Payments are made weekly on Tuesdays. The transaction type will be designated as “Compensation” with the comment “Loyalty Spread,” “Loyalty Commission,” or “Loyalty Swap.” You can review the accrual details in the transaction history in your Personal Area or in the account history on the MetaTrader 4.5 trading platforms.

2.3 The option to compensate for commission or spread is automatically connected to all Gold accounts of the Client and remains valid as long as the Gold status is active.

2.4 Cashback is paid to ECN accounts in real money for commission and swaps paid by the Client when performing trading transactions. For Standard, Fixed, and Crypto accounts, cashback is paid in real money for the spread and swaps, paid by the Client in the course of trading.

2.5 Cashback on commission paid is calculated as the total commission paid on all closed transactions for the reporting period multiplied by the cashback rate.

2.6 Cashback on swaps paid is calculated as the total swap paid on all closed transactions for the reporting period multiplied by the cashback rate. Cashback on swaps is not paid on indices, commodities, and bonds. Cashback on swaps is granted only if the total swaps on closed transactions for the reporting period are negative.

If a transaction was both opened and closed during the reporting period, the entire swap is considered in the cashback calculation.

If the transaction was opened before and closed during the reporting period, the partial swap is taken into account and is calculated using the formula: “Swap per transaction * 7 / Number of days the transaction was open.”

2.7 Cashback on the spread paid is calculated as the total spread paid on all closed transactions for the reporting period multiplied by the cashback rate. The spread paid is calculated according to the Company’s internal formula.
 

3. Calculation Examples

3.1 As part of the “Real Money Cashback” loyalty program for clients with Gold status, the following rates are set for compensation of trading fees on closed transactions for the period:

  • 10% of the commission
  • 5% of the spread
  • 20% of the swap

Example 1: A client with Gold status trades on an ECN account. The client made a certain trading turnover and paid a commission on closed transactions for the week in the amount of $3,000 and a zero swap. Therefore, next Tuesday the client will receive cashback in real funds in the amount of $3,000 * 10% + $0 * 20%= $300.

Example 2: A client with Gold status trades on a Standard account. The client generated a certain trading turnover and paid a spread on closed transactions in the amount of $2,000, and swaps paid on closed transactions amounted to -$200. Thus, next Tuesday the client will receive cashback in real funds to their account $2000 * 5% + $200 * 20% = in the amount of $140.

Example 3: A client with Gold status trades on a Standard account. The client made a certain trading turnover and paid a spread on closed transactions in the amount of $4,000, while the swap on closed transactions amounted to $500. Thus, next Tuesday the client will receive the following cashback in real funds to their account: $4,000 * 5% = $200. There will be no payment for the swap because it is positive.
