Brokers who are using the cTrader trading platform now have access to four types of bonuses, all designed within the UpTrader CRM system. Therefore brokers can set up trading bonuses in order to attract new clients or encourage existing traders to trade more.

1. Deposit Bonus: This is a well-liked bonus type as it's created to incentivize those who make deposits into their accounts. It's a win-win situation - clients get more perks and trading possibilities, while brokers secure a client ready to trade. The broker typically determines the conditions and the bonus amount, such as adding 50% to the deposit amount for deposits ranging from $50 to $10,000. Brokers can set the terms for converting the bonus funds into cash for withdrawal in the 'conversion' field.
2. Monthly Interest: This bonus type is also popular as it promotes client loyalty and encourages them to maintain a higher account balance as it becomes more profitable. For instance, a broker can set a required minimum account balance for a specific day of the month. If the requirement is met, a client receives a bonus on their balance. The CRM also sets the conditions for cashing in the bonus.
3. Welcome Bonus: This bonus can only be received once by a client. It's a common strategy to drive traffic. Offering free money is an effective way to draw substantial, cost-effective traffic, but whether this traffic can be turned into clients is another story.
4. Manual Bonus: The standout feature of a manual bonus is its flexibility. A manager can give it away as they see fit, without any predefined conditions. It's a valuable sales tool and often proves helpful in the moment.

To activate these, simply navigate to CRM Admin, select bonus settings, and fill out the description and condition fields for each bonus.

Apple has recently tightened the regulations for apps that facilitate trading with Contracts for Difference (CFDs). If you're planning to launch your app on the iOS platform, you are now required to have licenses that authorize CFD provision in every region where you intend to distribute your app. Simply put, without these licenses, your trading app won't pass the Apple App Store's scrutiny and will not be allowed to publish.

However, there's a workaround to this issue. The cross-broker app cTrader for iOS lets you continue to serve your clients across the globe. This solution is unbranded and completely free if you're using White Label cTrader. If you're interested in offering a branded app to your customers, there's a one-time fee of $2000 after which you will have your very own mobile trading app customized with your brand.

There are several advantages to this solution. Firstly, you'll have the flexibility of both branded and unbranded versions. In regions where you don't hold a license, your clients can still access the unbranded version in the App Store. In areas where you're licensed, the app will bear your logo. Plus, your branded app will always be visible to traders on Google Play. Lastly, you can also offer a downloadable version directly on your website.

The Local Payment Agent (LPA) is a payment method primarily used in Africa and Asia, as well as in countries where customers face challenges accessing electronic payment systems. In such cases, some individuals in these countries may act as LPAs. For instance, an LPA may accept funds from customers into their local bank account, transfer the funds to a payment system such as Visa or Mastercard, and then credit the broker's account from where the funds are transferred to the customers' trading accounts through internal transfers. Once the customer has traded, they would use the same method to withdraw funds - by internal transfer to the LPA account at the broker, and then the LPA would transfer the funds to the customer using a local payment method.

To enable the Local Payment Agent function for a broker, they need to access the Admin Module in UpTrader CRM, select Payment System in the left sidebar, and then Local Payment Agent. The broker would then upload Agreements that their future LPAs must sign.

To become a payment agent, one needs to select the Local Payment Agent tab from the UpTrader CRM Back Office module, choose the user they wish to make an agent, and specify the terms of work: commission percentage for deposits and withdrawals, the countries they will operate in, and the currency for receiving payments. It is also important to add a description - an instruction for deposits and withdrawals that customers can use when working with the broker. Finally, Agreements must be signed. Afterwards, clients from the countries you specified will be able to see your Local Payment Method in the list of ways to fund their trading account.

As a forex solution provider, we have been receiving a lot of requests for MetaTrader White Label. However, despite the announcement from MetaQuotes about their comeback to the App Store, they still suspend selling White Labels. Therefore, we strongly recommend that new brokers take a look at the new-generation trading platform, cTrader. It is a perfect solution.

In light of this, new brokers are better off not spending time seeking MetaTrader White Label, as it is virtually impossible to purchase it. Instead, they should consider cTrader – the new generation trading platform that offers numerous advantages, especially when compared to White Label cTrader.

cTrader advantages

One of the main reasons new brokers should opt for cTrader is its accessibility. While acquiring a MetaTrader White Label has become impossible due to MetaQuotes' strict policies, cTrader is readily available for purchase, allowing brokers to focus on growing their business rather than navigating the intricacies of obtaining White Label MT.

cTrader also provides a more transparent and compliant platform. Its commitment to maintaining order execution transparency ensures that the platform adheres to regulatory requirements, thereby providing a safer and more reliable trading environment for brokers and their clients. In comparison, MetaTrader's lack of transparency in order execution leaves more room for manipulation, which could potentially jeopardize a broker's reputation and business.

Another advantage of cTrader over MetaTrader White Label is its modern and user-friendly interface. The platform's sleek design, along with its two popular themes (dark and light), appeals to traders of all experience levels. Moreover, cTrader's graphical features, account management tools, testing capabilities, and technical indicators can easily compete with those of MetaTrader, making it an attractive alternative for new brokers.

Compliance process

Furthermore, cTrader offers a more streamlined compliance process, as it controls brokerage activities within the platform itself, including trade recording and order execution transparency. This allows them to welcome anyone without taking on any unnecessary risks. In contrast, MetaQuotes' stringent compliance process can make acquiring their White Label product nearly impossible, as customers are required to have the correct jurisdiction, bank accounts, and other legal details in place.

In addition to these benefits, cTrader's continuous innovation and development efforts ensure that the platform stays up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technological advancements. This positions new brokers for success, as they can leverage the platform's cutting-edge features to stay competitive in the rapidly-evolving forex market.

In conclusion, new brokers should prioritize cTrader over MetaTrader White Label, as it offers a more accessible, compliant, and user-friendly trading platform. By choosing cTrader, brokers can avoid the challenges associated with acquiring MetaTrader White Label, and instead focus on growing their business and providing a superior trading experience for their clients.

Forex leverage is a common tool used by traders to increase their potential profit or loss from a trade. Leverage allows traders to open positions with a much larger amount of money than they actually have in their trading account. This is made possible by borrowing funds from the broker and using them to open positions.

It's important to note that while leverage can increase potential profits, it can also amplify losses. This is because the larger the position size, the greater the impact of price movements on the trader's account balance. As such, traders should use caution when using leverage and ensure they have a solid risk management strategy in place.

What leverage size UpTrader offers to its clients?

There are two models which brokers choose: a-book and b-book. We explained in details which model is better in our recent article. Using B-book brokers can set any leverage for their clients such as 1:1000 or 1:5000 or more, but on an A-book, the leverage will always be not higher than 1:100. For brokers this means that if a broker offers higher leverage on a b-book, they will be responsible for covering any losses incurred by their clients. For example, if a broker sets a leverage of 1:200 on a b-book, they would need to have a deposit on the a-book that is twice the size of their clients' deposits in order to cover potential losses.

"The exact leverage that a forex broker can set may vary depending on the instrument being traded. For example, some brokers may offer lower leverage on certain instruments, such as exotic currency pairs or commodities. At our company, you can trade over 100 forex pairs with a leverage of 1:100. In addition to Forex, our clients can trade spot metals with a leverage of 1:100, indices and spot energy with a leverage of 1:50. To learn more, connect with us through our live chat.

UpTrader Invest is a versatile investment system that empowers traders to create, manage, and invest in strategies with ease. This innovative platform comprises two key components: a plugin that's installed inside the MetaTrader server, and a user interface that's integrated into UpTrader's CRM.

One of the standout features of UpTrader Invest is its multiple modes of operation. In each mode, investors are able to leverage the expertise of professional traders without having to learn how to trade themselves. This is made possible through the service's ability to copy the trades of experienced traders to investors' accounts. The manager creates investment strategies, and the investor is connected to these strategies, earning profits from the trades while the trader earns commissions for the use of the strategies.

There are three investment modules: MAM, Social Trading and PAMM.

MAM

MAM, which stands for Multi Account Management, is a service offered by some Forex companies that allows a trader to manage multiple investment accounts simultaneously. Here's how it works:

Let's say a trader has an account and several investors have invested money into it.

With MAM, each investor is provided with a separate investment account, which allows them to view their personal results. The trader, on the other hand, has access to the entire amount in the account and can use it to execute trades. This means that the trader can open larger trades than they would be able to with their own personal funds. The trade history is open for investors, so they can analyze the strategy. 

Social Trading

Social Trading is similar to MAM in many ways, but there is one important difference. In Social Trading, the investors do not give their money to the trader. Instead, each investor has their own account, separate from the trader's account.

For example, let's say there are three investors, and each has their own account. The first investor has an account with $1,000, the second investor has an account with $100, and the third investor has an account with $200. The trader has their own account with $1,000, and can only see their own account.

Unlike in MAM, the trader in Social Trading does not have direct access to the investors' money. This means that the trader can only trade with their own money, which limits the amount they can trade.

PAMM

PAMM stands for Percentage Allocation Money Management. People frequently ask for this type of investment service, however, this module completely repeats MAM service. The difference is only that the history of trades is not available to investors.

In addition to the obvious advantages, the service has several features that will allow your company to get more clients and managers to use the service:

1. Stability. No trades are lost thanks to its unique design. Unlike similar platforms, UpTrader Invest is a plugin that works directly at the MT4 core, ensuring the stability of operations and completely eliminating the possibility of missing trades, which is inevitable when connecting to MetaTrader 4 externally — and that is exactly how most similar solutions work.

2. Controlling your UpTrader Invest in MetaTrader Manager

Brokers can manage their UpTrader Invest plugins through the MetaTrader Manager mobile app. It offers full managing capabilities: opening new accounts, deposits, analytics, and much more.

3. Versatility. Investors can monitor their profits via all available methods for MetaTrader (desktop app, mobile app, web terminal) & via UpTrader FX CRM
