30% Deposit Bonus Explained: How It Works, Eligibility and Terms
A deposit bonus can look simple at first glance, but the rules behind it decide whether it is useful to you. Before you claim any bonus, it helps to know how much you receive, what you can do with it and what happens to it when the market moves against you. In this guide, we explain how the TradingPRO 30% deposit bonus works, who can take part, how to calculate your bonus and the key terms to understand before you deposit.
What is the 30% deposit bonus?
The 30% deposit bonus is a promotional credit added to your trading account when you make a qualifying deposit. If you deposit an eligible amount, you receive an extra 30 percent of that deposit as bonus credit. The credit increases your trading capital, which also increases the margin available to support your open positions.
It is important to understand what a bonus is and what it is not. It is a credit with conditions attached, not cash that you can withdraw at will. The terms explain exactly how it can be used, and we go through them below. The full official terms are published on the 30% deposit bonus page, and they are the final reference if anything here differs.
How the bonus works
The bonus is credited to your account automatically once you have met the requirements. In short, you open the eligible account, complete verification and make a qualifying deposit. The bonus is then added instantly.
The bonus is one time only. Each client can receive it once, so it makes sense to think about the amount you deposit before you claim it.
The bonus is also valid for a limited time. It stays on your account for 30 calendar days from the date you receive it. After that period, it is removed automatically, whether or not you have used it and even if you have positions open.
How to calculate your bonus
The calculation is simple. Multiply your deposit by 0.30 to find the bonus, then add the two together to see your total trading capital.
The qualifying deposit ranges from $200 to $1,000. Here is how the numbers work across that range.
A deposit of $200 gives a bonus of $60, for total trading capital of $260.
A deposit of $300 gives a bonus of $90, for total trading capital of $390.
A deposit of $500 gives a bonus of $150, for total trading capital of $650.
A deposit of $750 gives a bonus of $225, for total trading capital of $975.
A deposit of $1,000 gives a bonus of $300, for total trading capital of $1,300.
Keep in mind that only your own deposit is real balance. The bonus part of the total is credit that follows the rules in the terms. Always think about your risk based on what you deposited yourself.
Which account does the bonus apply to?
The bonus is not available on every account. It applies to the ScalpX Account (30% Bonus) on MetaTrader 5, in US dollars, with maximum leverage fixed at 1:500. You can read more about the account on the ScalpX Account page, and you can learn about the platform on the MetaTrader 5 page.
Because leverage is fixed at 1:500, position sizing deserves extra care. Higher leverage lets you open larger positions with a smaller amount of margin, but it also magnifies losses. We cover this in more detail in our guides on leverage and on calculating lot size.
Who is eligible?
The offer is open to new and existing registered clients, as long as they do not live in a country on the not eligible list. At the time of writing, the bonus is not available in China, Hong Kong SAR, Colombia and Pakistan. The company can update its country lists, so check the official page for the current version.
To receive the bonus, you need to complete a few requirements. You must pass personal identification and account verification, including address verification. You must also verify your mobile phone number. Finally, you need to open the ScalpX Account (30% Bonus) on MT5 and deposit at least $200.
Each client may hold only one bonus account per IP address and per device. Multiple registrations from the same IP address or device, or multiple bonus accounts with the same details, are not permitted.
How to claim the bonus step by step
The process follows a clear order.
First, register and set up your profile. Second, complete the registration form. Third, verify your identity, along with your address and mobile number. Fourth, open the ScalpX Account (30% Bonus) on MT5, make a deposit of $200 to $1,000 and your bonus is credited instantly.
Take your time with the verification stage. Clear, up to date documents help the process go smoothly. You can also check the available deposit options on the payment methods page before you decide how to fund your account.
The key terms to understand
This is the most important part of the article. Read each point carefully.
The bonus can be lost, and it cannot be traded directly. It cannot be used on its own to open new trades if your balance is too low. However, it can support the margin of positions that are already open.
The bonus cannot be withdrawn or transferred. It stays as credit on the account. If you make any internal transfer or withdrawal, the bonus is written off.
There is a cap on withdrawable profit. The profit you can withdraw from trading with the bonus is limited to an amount equal to your original deposit, up to a maximum of $1,000. For example, with a $200 deposit, the most you could withdraw in profit from bonus trading is $200. Profit above the limit is forfeited if you make a withdrawal or internal transfer.
A stop out removes the bonus. If your account reaches a stop out, the bonus is written off.
The bonus expires after 30 days. It is removed automatically after 30 calendar days.
You can reject the bonus. You are allowed to decline it at any time, as long as no trade has been made using the bonus funds.
Misuse is not allowed. Arbitrage, fraud, manipulation or other abuse connected to the bonus can lead to cancelled trades and closed accounts. The company also keeps the right to refuse or write off the bonus at its discretion, as set out in the terms.
Is the bonus right for you?
A bonus can be helpful if you plan to trade actively on MT5 and you are comfortable with the conditions. The extra credit can support your margin and give you more room on open positions. At the same time, the limits on withdrawals and the expiry period mean it is not suited to everyone.
Ask yourself a few questions. Are you comfortable with 1:500 leverage and do you have a risk plan for it? Will you be able to use the bonus within 30 days? Do you understand that the bonus can be written off by a stop out, a withdrawal or a transfer? If you answered yes to all three, the bonus may fit your plans. If not, it is perfectly fine to trade without it.
Whatever you decide, a bonus does not remove risk. Trading leveraged products involves a significant level of risk, and you can lose money. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose, and use a stop loss on every trade.
Final thoughts
The 30% deposit bonus adds extra credit to your account when you deposit between $200 and $1,000 on the ScalpX Account (30% Bonus) on MT5. It is simple to calculate, but its value depends on understanding the terms: it is one time, it expires after 30 days, it cannot be withdrawn and it can be written off. Read the full terms, check that you are eligible and plan your trades with your own risk limits in mind.
