Start earning xPoints

Wherever you start on the Ontega platform, our main goal is to help you improve your skills and become an ever better trader.

A typical trading experience

Your success is usually measured by your account balance. The good trading decisions you make show up as money earned. All your mistakes become losses.

However, this leads to a very linear approach to trading and a distorted view of what an online trader is. Because in reality, online trading really is the quickest and easiest way to make money.

Your trading experience will have its ups and downs and will probably look like this

Rather than this, as you might imagine:

You will have ups and downs, gains and losses, whether you have been trading for 50 years or 5 minutes. The difference between average traders and successful traders comes down to one word: experience.

Earn xPoints for your experience

That is why Ontega considers experience to be a measure of success just as important as your profits.

You will receive xPoints for the various actions you take to improve your trading skills. xPoints are not consolation prizes. They are essential for building the knowledge and skills you need to progress.

And to make things even more enjoyable, xPoints are worth money!

Below are examples of actions that earn you xPoints:

• Opening and closing positions
• Completing our trading courses
• Passing tests. You will need a score of 85% correct answers to pass.
• Using different trading tools

xPoints let you obtain trading bonuses and unlock new levels and tools.

You receive xPoints regardless of your financial results.

As a beginner, you may close some trades at a loss. Financially, this will have an unwanted impact on your trading balance, but opening and closing that trade gives you very valuable experience. That is why you will receive xPoints whatever the outcome of the trade.

Daring to try new things is also essential to your success. Fear of failure stops most traders from succeeding. xPoints are the antidote to that fear. Be brave and try new strategies or new trading tools. You will receive xPoints for doing so, and you will be able to learn from your mistakes and successes.
