2026-04-30 11:003162
The CFD credit feature is now live. Credits are an exclusive trading benefit provided by the platform. Once claimed, they can be used directly to increase your trading leverage. Please read the following instructions carefully to fully understand the rules and important notes for using credits.
1. How can I claim credits?
You can claim credit vouchers through the following channels:
-
Coupons Center
-
CFD trading page > Coupons Center portal
-
Position list > order list > "Claim" button
Note: Each credit voucher has a claim validity period. If it is not claimed on time, it will automatically expire and cannot be reissued. Please check the Coupons Center and site messages, and claim your voucher within the valid period.
2. How do credits affect your account?
After you claim credits, your account will be affected as follows:
| Account field | Changes |
| Account balance | No change |
| Credit balance | Increases by the face value of the voucher |
| Account net assets | Increases |
| Available margin | Increases |
| Risk ratio | Risk ratio = net assets ÷ used margin (credits affect net assets and therefore affect the risk ratio) |
3. Rules for using credits
-
Credits take effect immediately after being claimed and can be used directly for CFD trading.
-
Credits will not be deducted for transaction fees, swap fees, or account PnL.
-
Credits cannot be transferred out.
-
Credits cannot be used to offset any transaction fees, swap fees, or other charges.
-
The sole purpose of credits is to increase trading leverage and boost your available margin.
4. Credit reclaiming rules
Credits will be reclaimed under the following circumstances.
4.1 Upon expiration
-
Trigger: After the credit usage period expires, reclaiming occurs the first time your account has no open positions.
-
Scope: Only expired credits will be reclaimed. Unexpired credits will remain in your account.
-
Frequency: The system scans accounts for expired credits approximately once per hour.
4.2 Collateral shortfall
-
Trigger: Reclaiming will be triggered when your account experiences a collateral shortfall and has no open positions.
-
Scope: All credits in the account will be reclaimed.
-
Note: This rule is not tied to the validity period of the credits. Manage your position risk carefully.
4.3 Outbound transfer
-
Trigger: After you transfer funds out of the account, if your account balance is less than or equal to zero, reclaiming will be triggered.
-
Scope: All credits in the account will be reclaimed.
-
Risk warning: Reclaiming of credits will reduce your account net assets, which will in turn lower your risk ratio. If the risk ratio falls below 50%, liquidation will be triggered.
Before transferring funds out, make sure to assess your current positions and credit balance to avoid triggering liquidation due to the transfer.

6. FAQ
Q: Can I still claim the credit voucher after it expires?
A: No. Once expired, the voucher will automatically become invalid. Please claim it within the validity period.
Q: Will credits affect my risk ratio?
A: Yes. Credits increase your account net assets and can help reduce your account risk level when you have open positions.
