traders must exercise a cautious, balanced approach to using or unlocking extra funds. <\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s take a closer look at how you can achieve this. <\/p>\n<h2>Stay composed<\/h2>\n<p>Most traders rush to unlock the deposit bonus as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n<p>This quest leads to unneeded risk taking and over trading. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, apply a disciplined approach to using your bonus that includes consistently considering the risk of any trading action. <\/p>\n<p>Staying composed like this, can lead to benefits like the availability of more margin and the potential to unlock the bonus later on. <\/p>\n<h2>Avoid going all-in<\/h2>\n<p>The term<em> all-in <\/em>is used in poker to describe when a player decides to bet all his\/her chips (funds) on one hand. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a move aimed at getting a large win, while risking outright loss. <\/p>\n<p>Using this strategy in Forex trading generally leads to failure, due to the immense psychological pressure of managing such a high-risk trade. <\/p>\n<p>As I said earlier:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 risk management is important at <em>all <\/em>times\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;including when trading with a Forex deposit bonus.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rYtc1jGchsg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<h2>Check the terms and conditions<\/h2>\n<p>You probably get the logic of this tip, but none-the-less wonder if it&#8217;s <em>really<\/em> necessary. <\/p>\n<p>In short, yes. <\/p>\n<p>As I said earlier, using a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/about-us\/regulatory-authorisation\/\"><u>regulated broker<\/u><\/a> is key because then you know your money is protected.<\/p>\n<p>But if you choose a non-regulated broker &#8211; I suggest using a magnifying-glass to read even the tiniest text on the bonus offering. <\/p>\n<p>Not doing so, would be foolhardy. <\/p>\n<h2>Review the broker<\/h2>\n<p>Traders need to complete due diligence on the broker by asking the opinion of other traders, checking reviews and again &#8211; making sure that the broker is duly regulated. <\/p>\n<p>For example with Admiral Markets:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 the regulatory info is transparent via regulation by the FCA in the UK and MiFID in the EU\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and being awarded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/about-us\/news\/admiral-markets-voted-best-mt4-broker-2015\"><u>best UK MT4 broker <\/u><\/a>in 2015 by industry peers and customers doesn&#8217;t hurt either. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/about-us\/why-us\/\"> <\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Use the bonus for margin<\/h2>\n<p>The deposit bonus provides the distinct advantage of higher margin level. <\/p>\n<p>Having a higher margin means your trading account is in a better position to handle larger drawdowns and therein better avoid margin calls. <\/p>\n<h2>Apply well defined strategies<\/h2>\n<p>The trader can try to unlock the Forex deposit bonus by meeting the volume requirements via short-term and intraday strategies. <\/p>\n<p>Logically speaking, a long-term strategy using monthly candles for example, will never generate a sufficient number of trades.<\/p>\n<p>But short-term strategy is another ball game. <\/p>\n<p>Using a short-term Forex trading system allows a trader to:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;open and close more positions\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;without adding significant risk to each setup.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/M_8_RJR1Jds2N48q3dpPggEGCGi8Zg7dSyrWMJIlRDkvZzdI3hfFyIdqj30e3HQjNCUsU5Vsjf67b4qX8YQb0gQjRbSORYvUI5kkqdQkUnd1ueUpznmfX-V_PQQf1M-Qv2M364_L\" alt=\"Optimized-pablo (1).png\"><\/h2>\n<h2>Pick a suitable bonus amount<\/h2>\n<p>Suitable in this context, means right for you. <\/p>\n<p>Although Michelangelo&#8217;s words could inspire you to aim for a high bonus, it really depends on the type of trader you are. <\/p>\n<p>However, aiming for a lower first Forex deposit bonus makes it easier to hit the volume target for unlocking your bonus. <\/p>\n<p>This is the main reason why choosing a low bonus is generally a good choice. <\/p>\n<p>But, a trader who opens more trades might be better to aim for a more ambitious bonus. <\/p>\n<p>For high volume traders, choosing a high Forex deposit bonus makes more sense. <\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the bottom line?<\/p>\n<p>Be cautious when using a bonus and don&#8217;t be afraid to ask fellow traders for their opinions, before you make your bonus choice. <\/p>\n<p>Shop around too.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Admiral Markets offers a wide range of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/landing\/deposit-bonus\/\"><u>Forex deposit bonus options<\/u><\/a> and is therefore a good benchmark to both compare with and\/or join. <\/p>\n<p>Cheers and good trading,<\/p>\n<p>Chris<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/landing\/grow-stronger\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/articles\/^3614290CB1D722BC58CAB0E2F01D74CF4D15F565B654D1B116^pimgpsh_fullsize_distr-1.png\" alt=\"Deposit Bonus Offer by Admiral Markets\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Article by<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Admiral Markets<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px dotted #eee;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/countingpips.com\/articles-analysis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/AdmiralMarkets-sig-1.png\" align=\"left\" height=\"87\" width=\"141\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Admiral Markets is a leading online provider, offering trading with Forex and CFDs on stocks, indices, precious metals and energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Admiral Markets Dear Traders, Most traders know that a Forex deposit bonus is a reward that brokers extend to traders when they deposit funds to their account.
