How to deposit and withdraw trading capital with OvalX

Overview:

In order to be able to place trades and open and close positions on derivative products in the global financial markets via over the counter (OTC) trading platforms provided by retail Forex and CFD brokerages, an investor or trader must deposit capital to a trading account with the brokerage.

How to deposit capital

How to withdraw capital

OVALX, in accordance with the regulations stipulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) which regulates all non-bank financial markets activity in the United Kingdom and whose license OvalX holds, is bound by regulations to keep the trading capital which belongs to investors and traders separate from its own operational capital.

The type of bank account in which OvalX holds trading capital on behalf of clients is called a ‘segregated account’.

This ensures the safe custody of the trading capital belonging to investors and traders, as well as the safe custody of any profits made from trading the markets via OVALX.

At any time, traders and investors have the right to withdraw either part of, or all of their trading capital from their trading account.

This can be done online via the OvalX website by logging into the trading account and completing the withdrawal procedure.

OvalX endeavours to complete a withdrawal of trading capital within two hours of it being requested by a trader or investor if it is to be withdrawn to a bank account via bank wire transfer.

If the withdrawal is to a credit card or merchant services company such as Skrill, the withdrawal of funds is usually completed without undue delay.

This is well within the guidelines stipulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) whose rules mandate that any company which holds funds on behalf of its customers must be able to complete a withdrawal within one business day of the request for withdrawal.

Profits from trading

Should a profit be made, traders and investors are free to withdraw that profit at any time, along with some or all of their margin capital.

The amount of profit will be displayed in the OvalX trading platform and the trader or investor may withdraw all or some of the profit at any time.

The withdrawal of profit is subject to the same procedure as the above-described withdrawal of trading capital and is subject to the same timeframes and methodology.

Traders and investors may wish to withdraw just the profit or part of the profit made, or may wish to withdraw the profit and trading capital, which would be paid to the trader or investor in one lumpsum and can be withdrawn in one lump sum meaning that there is no need to separately withdraw profit and trading capital.
