What Is a Risk-Free Trade? How to Use It on Olymp Trade

What Is a Risk-free Trade?

This is a trader’s right to make a trade with a certain amount of money without risking any funds.

If the forecast is correct the user receives the profit they have made. But if it’s wrong, the amount of a risk-free trade is returned to the trader’s account.
 

How Much Funds Can a Risk-free Trade Secure?

Each risk-free-trade has its monetary value. This is the amount of money the user receives if their forecast is wrong.

Let’s say a trader activates a $50 risk-free trade and opens a $100 position. In case of a failure, they will get back $50. And if the forecast is correct, they will get a return on a $100 investment.

The First Way to Get a Risk-Free Trade.

Risk-free trades are one of the privileges of an Expert status. A user receives 5% of their first deposit (starting at $2000/€2000/R$5000) as risk-free trades credited to their account. The total amount is split into several risk-free trades for ease of use.

The Best Way to Use a Risk-free Trade on Olymp Trade

Experienced traders say that risk-free trades are your reserve fund, which you only should use in exceptional cases.

However, one of the best-known examples of using these trades wisely is activating them as another “step” of the losses compensation system.

Analyze the following case. Let’s say a trader has a $50 risk-free trade. Here is how it can be used:

• as the 4th step of the losses compensation system, if a trader begins with $ 3 ($ 3, $ 7, $ 18, $ 46)
• as the 3rd step, if a trader begins with $ 7 ($ 7, $ 17, $ 43)
• also as the 3rd step, if their first step is $ 8 ($ 8, $ 20, $ 50)

Risk-free trades are more than just a compensation mechanism. Using them at a critical moment, you can reduce the risk of losing your funds to zero. Isn’t it what a real trader needs?
