Let’s say you have a $10 bonus. What should you do? Here’s a realistic example:

  1. Choose a ticker. For example, Inter (INTC) — $24 per share.

  2. Buy 10 INTC shares for $240 with ×30 leverage.

  3. Monitor your position throughout the day. If the stock rises, for example, to $26, sell it.

  4. Your profit: $260 − $240 = $20. The commission will be deducted from the remaining bonus funds.

Now your account shows a $20 profit. This amount won’t expire, and you can withdraw it along with any other profits you make through trading.

But what if the stock drops to $22?

Your loss limit = 80% of $10 = $8. If your loss reaches this amount, the position will automatically close. So instead of losing $20, you’ll only lose $8.

You’ll use most of the bonus and gain trading experience on UTEX.
