‍

This depends on the margin required for each asset. You’ll be able to see the required margin for each asset before opening your position.

‍

You can create up to five Deriv cTrader accounts under a single Deriv profile.

Each account can be used independently, giving you flexibility to manage different strategies, assets, or risk levels.

You can also choose to make one of your cTrader accounts a strategy provider account if you want to offer copy-trading services. However, this change is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Keep in mind:

• An account cannot be both a strategy provider and a fee collection account.
• You’ll need to keep at least one account free from being a strategy provider to manage fee-based strategies.

‍

You can manage up to five Deriv cTrader accounts, each linked to your Deriv login credentials. Here are some important things to know before creating or managing strategies on cTrader.

Login details

Use your Deriv account email and password to log in to cTrader. There’s no separate login or password for this platform.

Account limits

You can create up to five Deriv cTrader accounts. Any of these accounts can be made a strategy provider account, but once assigned, that change is permanent.

Strategy activity

If your strategy stays inactive for 30 days, it will be automatically deleted. You can create a new one on the same account at any time afterwards.

Fee settings

When setting up a strategy, you can impose fees for followers.

To do this, assign one of your existing accounts as an “Account for fees.” This account can handle multiple fee-based strategies.

• Free strategies do not need an Account for fees.
• Keep at least one account free from being a strategy provider so it can process fees.

Important note

An account cannot be both a strategy provider and a fee collection account. Maintaining at least one non-strategy account helps you manage fee-based strategies effectively.

‍
