<em>credit <\/em>field; and<\/li>\n<li>cannot be used to cover trading losses).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Not all bonuses are for new clients<\/h2>\n<p>Many promotions focus on new traders, but not all.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Admiral Markets also rewards loyal traders by extending the Forex deposit bonus to both existing and new traders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.admiralmarkets.com\/landing\/grow-stronger\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com\/articles\/deposit_bonus_gif-2.gif\" alt=\"Forex bonus on deposit\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check how many instruments you can bonus trade<\/p>\n<p>Checking details is important when considering a Forex deposit bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Chief among these, is ensuring that you are able to use a wide range of financial instruments when trading with your bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Some traders claim a wide range of instrument choices generally, but offer a small choice for specific trading with the bonus.<\/p>\n<p>You obviously don&#8217;t want to choose a broker offering a small instrument range, attached to the bonus offer.<\/p>\n<p>Admiral Markets is a good choice for deposit bonus trading because:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 they offer a wide range of Forex pairs; <em>and <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;non-FX instruments like Stock CFDs, commodities and stock indices.<\/p>\n<h2>Deposit a sustainable amount<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s always best to add an amount of capital that you can leave on the account without having to withdraw within the deposit period.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, bonus conditions are strict.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, once the credit bonus goes into your trading account it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>remains linked to this same account; and<\/li>\n<li>cannot be withdrawn either partially or in full unless the minimum trading volume requirement is met in its entirety.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But perhaps more importantly:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 having a sustainable deposit amount is simply best practice in Forex trading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 because you only want to be trading with risk capital.<\/p>\n<h2>Know the volume details<\/h2>\n<p>Again, the details are important in Forex trading generally.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of deposit bonus offers, it&#8217;s especially important to understand the part that volume plays in the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, Forex brokers tie certain volume conditions to the bonus that make it non-withdrawable at first.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the deal.<\/p>\n<p>A valid trade is required before the volume is counted towards the total volume calculation.<\/p>\n<p>So make sure you understand under what conditions volume is counted towards the Forex deposit bonus e.g. what constitutes a <em>valid trade<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>With Admiral Markets for example, a full round turn trade is available when all three of the following criteria are met:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>the trade remained open at least 5 minutes 00 seconds<\/li>\n<li>the profit or loss in this trade is more than 3 pips<\/li>\n<li>the trade was not hedged.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pTTAVOxK6Nw\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Hedge trades may not count<\/h2>\n<p>Be cautious when entering into hedge trades, because it&#8217;s possible that the volume does not count towards the Forex deposit bonus.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple to avoid a trade being treated as a hedge trade.<\/p>\n<p>For example, at Admiral Markets a trade is <em>only <\/em>considered hedged when it conforms to all these points:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>the reversal position was opened within 15 minutes after opening the initial position<\/li>\n<li>the volume variance between the initial and reversal position does not exceed 20%<\/li>\n<li>the reversal position is closed within 15 minutes before or after the closing of the initial position.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Time constraints and terms<\/h2>\n<p>When hunting for a deposit bonus, it is important to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>run a background check on your chosen broker<\/li>\n<li>carefully check the Terms &amp;
