Withdrawal Requests While Bonus is Active: 24option does not wish to restrict your account during the period in which you have not met trading volume requirements related to your bonus. Thus, if you request a withdrawal prior to achieving the minimum trading volume requirement, the full amount of all active bonus(es) will be deducted from the current balance of the account along with trading Profit/Losses connected to the bonus issued by the Company, in accordance with the Company’s Symmetrical Bonus Method protocols, as described in detail below. You will then be able to manage the remaining balance in your account freely.

These terms and conditions and any matters relating hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Cyprus and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cypriot courts.

General Description of the Symmetrical Bonus Method: 1.

th

Effective, 26 July 2015, the Company implemented a new methodology for calculating the allocation of Profit and Loss of trades that occur in accounts with an active cash bonus. For sake of clarification, please consider the following terms: “Account Bonus Balance” refers to the portion of the Total Value of Your Account that is unavailable for withdrawal until the Minimum Trading Volume is achieved. This amount is calculated by adding the Active Bonus plus its Proportional Value of trading Profit and Loss. “Account Cash Balance” refers to the portion of the Total Value of Your Account that is available for withdrawal at any time. This amount is calculated by adding the Net Deposits plus their Proportional Value of trading Profit and Loss. “Account Summary” shall refer to the “My Account” section of the Trading Platform where a Client can see in real time the “Account Cash Balance”, “Account Bonus Balance”, “Total Cost of Your Open Positions”, and “Total Value of Your Account”. “Active Bonus” shall refer to a Trading Benefit of a specific bonus amount that is deposited into a trading account that has a Minimum Trading Volume requirement, which is agreed upon between the Company and the Client. In certain cases where a Client has more than one (1) active bonus, all bonuses will be aggregated and treated as one (1) active bonus. “Balance for Withdrawal” shall mean Account Cash Balance. “Cumulative Trading Volume “refers to the aggregate volume of Transactions that the client entered into until a specific date. “Minimum Trading Volume” shall refer to the minimum number of Transactions that the Client must enter into in order to convert a bonus into Cash.

“Net Deposits” is the amount of Deposits minus Withdrawals plus Trading Profit and Loss generated prior entering into the Bonus Scheme. “Open Positions” shall mean any open option contract (call and / or put) which has not been closed. In relation to CFD trading this may be a Long Position or a Short Position which is not a Completed Transaction. “Proportional Value” is calculated by dividing the Net Deposits by the Net Deposits plus Bonus in order to determine the percentage of the Profit and Loss from trading that will be attributed to the deposits (in order to establish the Account Cash Balance ), while there is still an active bonus. 100 minus the Proportional Value determine the percentage of the Profit and Loss from trading that will be attributed to the bonus (in order to establish the Account Bonus Balance). Examples of how to calculate the Proportional Value can be found below. “Symmetrical Bonus Method” is the process where the Company attributes profit and loss according to a Proportional Value. “Time Restriction” is not relevant since the Client is not required to achieve the Minimum Trading Volume within a certain amount of time. For inactive accounts, a Dormancy Fee shall apply. “Total Cost of Your Open Positions” refers to the value of all open Orders in the system. “Total Value of Your Account” refers to the Account Cash Balance + Account Bonus Balance + Total Cost of Your Open Positions. “Trading Volume Requirement” shall refer to numerical multiplier used to calculate the Minimum Trading Volume. This multiplier can be up to fifty (50) times the bonus amount. For example, if a Client agrees to receive a $1,000 bonus with a multiplier of 50x, the Minimum Trading Volume will be fifty thousand ($50,000) in Binary Options Orders and sixty-two thousand five hundred ($62,500) in CFDs Orders. This means that every dollar ($1) traded in Binary Options is equal to $1.25 in CFDs and every dollar ($1) in CFDs is equal to $0.80 in Binary Options. Example: Initial Trading Volume Requirement

Binary Options Trading

CFDs Trading

$50,000

$62,500

If a trading account is used for trading both Binary Options and CFDs then the Trading Volume Requirement for both Binary Options and CFDs shall be adjusted every time an order is placed as follows:

If Binary Options Order of $1,000 If CFDs Order of $1,000

Trading Volume Requirement as adjusted after an Order is closed Binary Options CFDs Trading $49,000 $61,250 ($50,000-$1,000)

($62,500-$1,250)

$49,200

$61,500

($50,000-$800)

($62,500-$1,000)

As soon as the Trading Volume Requirement for both Binary Options and CFDs Trading is zeroed the Client shall be qualified to receive the award associated with the bonus granted. 2.

Proportional Trading Volume Example 1 – One Deposit + One Bonus*

In the example below, the Client agrees to a 100% Bonus on his Deposit with a Trading Volume Requirement of 40x. The client places 1 order per day and executes 10 orders on his account. As per the chart below, the client will be eligible to withdraw $5,200 at the time of his last withdrawal, which includes his initial deposit of $5,000 plus $200 in profit, since there is Minimum Trading Volume of $200,000 that was not achieved yet.

Proportional Trading Volume Example 2 – One Deposit + One Bonus (With Withdrawal)*

In the example below, the Client agrees to a 100% Bonus on his Deposit with a Trading Volume Requirement of 40x. The client requests a withdrawal of $2,000 after placing 4 Orders on his account. As per the chart below, the Active Bonus of $5,000 in addition to $150 in Profit that was attributed as Proportional Value was cancelled when the Client requested a withdrawal prior to achieving the Minimum Trading Volume. Following these transactions, the Client is left with $3,150 to place orders or withdraw. It is should be noted that all future profits and losses will be applied to the Client since he no longer has an Active Bonus.

Proportional Trading Volume Example 3 – One Deposit + One Bonus (Trading Volume Achieved)*

In the example below, the Client agrees to a $100 Bonus on his Deposit with a Trading Volume Requirement of 40x.

Proportional Trading Volume Example 4 – Two Deposits + Two Bonuses*

In the example below, the Client agrees to a 100% Bonus on his Deposit with a Trading Volume Requirement of 40x. The client requests a withdrawal of $2,000 after placing 4 Orders on his account. As per the chart below, the Active Bonus of $5,000 in addition to $150 in Profit that was attributed as Proportional Value was cancelled when the Client requested a withdrawal prior to achieving the Minimum Trading Volume. Following these transactions, the Client is left with $3,150 to place orders. The Client then places an additional Order where he loses $2,000. With a low balance, the Client decides to make another deposit and he requests another 100% bonus. Since the first bonus was cancelled when he withdrew funds, nd the Minimum Trading Volume and Volume Outstanding requirements were calculated on the 2 bonus.

6.

Proportional Trading Volume Example 5 – One Deposit + One Bonus (Account Closes with Losses)*

In the example below, the Client agrees to a $100 Bonus on his Deposit with a Trading Volume Requirement of 40x. As per the chart below, the Client loses 6 of 8 trades and decides to close his trading account. Since all profit and losses are divided according to the Proportional Value, the total losses of $274 were shared between the deposit (trader) and the bonus. Therefore, the client withdraw $272 from the account (=500-228).

*Bonus Examples are provided for illustration purposes only. In specific, Trading Volume is aggregated based on the Invested Amount only and does not include Profits/Returns in the calculation. For simplicity and ease, you can always check your updated activity via the “Trade History” tab within the “My Account” section.
