What are Add-ons, and why are they beneficial?

2 min. readlast update: 09.24.2024

Add-ons are optional features that enhance your trading experience during a TradingCult Challenge. They provide flexibility, improve risk management, and boost earning potential. Add-ons allow you to customize key factors like profit share, leverage, and risk limits, helping you align the Challenge with your trading style and goals. 

  • Important: Add-ons can only be selected when purchasing a Challenge and cannot be added later. Availability of certain Add-ons may vary depending on the Challenge type. You can check which Add-ons are available for each Challenge on the Challenge purchase page. 

 

Available Add-ons: 

  1. Profit Share 90/10 

  • Increase your profit share to 90%, allowing you to keep more of your profits. Normally, a smaller percentage is kept, but with this Add-on, you retain 90%, while only 10% goes to TradingCult. 

  1. Double Leverage 

  • This Add-on doubles your available leverage, enabling larger position sizes and greater market exposure. While this can amplify profits, it also increases risk, so it should be used carefully. 

  1. Max Drawdown 15% 

  • Increase the Maximum Drawdown (the Max Total Loss limit) to 15%. This gives you more breathing room to manage temporary losses without hitting the drawdown limit, helping you recover from market downturns. 

  1. Daily Loss 10% 

  • This Add-on raises your Maximum Daily Loss limit to 10%. It allows for slightly larger daily risks, which can be beneficial in volatile markets or during high-confidence trades. 

  1. Profit Defender 

  • The Profit Defender Add-on protects your accumulated profits. Once you’ve reached a certain profit level, it places a safety net to secure those gains, even if future trades cause your account to hit the Max Daily Loss limit. 

Example: 

  • Starting Balance: $10,000 

  • Highest Equity Reached: $12,000 

  • Daily Loss: -$600 (5% Daily Loss level breached) 

  • Daily Ending Balance: $11,400 

In this case, although the account balance dropped below $12,000, the Profit Defender ensures the remaining $1,400 in profits is protected and can be withdrawn. So even after breaching the Max Daily Loss, users of the Profit Defender Add-on don’t lose their remaining profits.
