Land-FX is providing financial services with the concept of STP/ECN trading environment, so there is basically no restrictions on its trading platform.

The type of the broker like Land-FX is rarely seen that not so many STP brokers offer bonus promotions.

But as long as there is no restrictions on its trading platform, there will be some rules added in case you are receiving their bonuses.

Arbitrage to abuse bonuses

Land-FX is offering 100% Deposit Bonus in June to July in 2016, and also 30% Deposit Bonus with no expiration dates.

Their deposit bonus has got really great advantages as you can use the bonus amount as your margin.

But you can not use that advantage to earn illegal profits for yourself. Land-FX prohibits “arbitrage tradings” abusing these bonuses.

So what is this “Arbitrage”?

If you do not know what is it and start trading anyway, you could be in trouble when you withdraw your funds from Land-FX’x trading account.

Normally, Arbitrage trading abusing bonuses is when you(or with your friends) have several accounts and receive the bonuses and trade contrary (hedging methods).

Then you lose the bonus which you have received from Land-fx in one account and earn profits in another.

This is a classic arbitrage method which many traders do though, Land-FX does not allow such trading methods.

And there is probably no brokers allow this kind of method, as there is no merit for brokers at all.

This is just an example of “arbitrage tradings” and there are many kinds of arbitrage.

If you are not sure whether your trading method can be categorized as arbitrage or not, please contact Land-FX support team.

Profit cancellation and Withdrawal delays?

There is no withdrawal delays or rejections by Land-FX or profit cancellation reported by its users.

But only when if a trader has traded arbitrage abusing Land-FX’s Deposit Bonus, Land-FX may take necessarily actions such as nullifying the trades made on arbitrage.

Each broker has different trading restrictions/rules according to their business style.

Land-FX adopt STP(Straight Through Processing) trading environment through MT4 where there is no interference nor price manipulation against its traders.

This is actually a rare model among online brokers, as majority of them adopt half STP and half market maker model depending on the traders’ profit ratio.

The advantages you can earn by Land-FX being a complete STP model are:

• No Restrictions on the Platform
• No Profit Cancellation
• No Price Manipulation
• No withdrawal rejections

But as Land-FX is a rare broker which adopts the STP model and also offers some Deposit Bonuses, the broker will need to set some rules for the usage of the bonuses.

And the additional rule added for the bonuses, is the “No Arbitrage” on the trading platform, MT4.

In case Land-FX finds traders trying to earn profits by without taking risks by abusing the deposit bonuses, Land-FX may cancel the bonus amount and the profits made on the accounts by following the “Terms and Conditions” set by the broker.
