Can I withdraw money on a monthly basis for my living expenses?
While we do ask for a 6 month verbal commitment to see the Manage Account work, it is your money and you may withdraw it at anytime. We also would like to remind you of our risk agreement, you should not invest money you can not afford to lose, (ie. monthly money set aside for other obligations).
Will I be charged a fee to withdraw money? Currently Wealth Builders FX does not charge a fee for withdrawals. Although FXCM and you current Financial Institution may charge fees. (ie. wire fees).
20% seems very high for a fee!
While 20% may seem high, it is well within the industry standard. Keep in mind some firms charge up to 50% performance fees with minimum investments starting at 250k. We only charge these fees if we make you money. While for someone looking at the fees and not looking a performance it is high.

FXCM strives to provide traders with tight, competitive spreads; however, there may be instances when market conditions cause spreads to widen beyond the typical spreads displayed here.

Can I set leverage with your platform, what if signal provider wants to buy $100k but I only want to open $10k?
The client sets the leverage for each currency pair to their requirement, the signal provider only sends the signals, not a suggested lot size, a client can trade from $10k lot upwards for each pair they decide to trade. There are 3 Modes of Money Management:

(ii) Fixed Ratio � Fixed Account % Risk per trade on Principal.
(iii) Fixed Delta � Increases or Decreases lot size dependent on Account Balance.

Can I stop trading at any time?

What is your fee structure?
We charge 2% of your account balance to manage your account. We also charge a 20% performance fee on any profits over any new balance highs.
What is a performance fee?
Performance fee is defined as any fee that is deducted from your account due to new gains made on your account.
What if I lose money one month, will you still charge me the performance fee?
No. The performance fee only applies to NEW balance gains. For example, if your initial investment is 5k and it gains 1k then, your account is +1k(6k total). The performance fee will be charged on the 1K. Say the next month the account goes -1K(back down to 5K), we will never charge a performance fee again until the account balance goes above 6k. *please note this examples balance did not factor the performance fee. Whole numbers were used for ease of understanding.
What are the chances that I can lose all my initial investment?
With our money management strategy, we will always use only a small percentage of your capital at one time. However, as with any other investment you must understand that there is a risk of loss.
Can I get training from you to become an even better trader?
No, but there are many qualified trader trainers and professional traders that have experience that we could refer to you. We do not make our money as trainers but instead as actual traders.
