Why do I need a wallet?

Modified on Mon, 7 Apr at 3:24 PM

A wallet is used as a connecting account between trading accounts and clients' external funds (held on bank accounts, e-wallets, cards, etc). 

 

There are several advantages to using a wallet, in terms of client funding: 


  • Withdrawals are only possible from a wallet (Select "Manage Funds" then "Transfer" to transfer money from your Trading account to your Wallet, then withdraw money from your wallet to the external system). 
  • Instant transfers within one operating company (If a margin call occurs on the account this can be very useful: select "Manage Funds" then "Transfer" and then "Current company"). 


  • Funds deposited into a wallet are completely protected from any open positions held on the trading account (Compared to directly funding a trading account). 
  • Funds can be stored in various currencies (A currency can be added or deleted via the "Show more" button)
