To help you better understand and use Echobit's futures trading rewards, this article explains the definitions, differences, and frequently asked questions about Trial Fund, Deduction Bonus, and Gift Bonus.
What Are Trial Fund, Deduction Bonus, and Gift Bonus?
1. Trial Fund
A Trial Fund is a promotional reward provided by the platform exclusively for futures trading. Profits generated from trading with the Trial Fund can be withdrawn, while the Trial Fund principal itself cannot be withdrawn.
Trial Fund Rules
- The Trial Fund can only be used for futures trading and cannot be used for spot trading or other products. The Trial Fund will always be deducted before your own account balance.
- It can be used as trading margin and may also be used to cover trading fees, trading losses, and funding fees.
- The Trial Fund can only be used for opening positions. After a position is closed, any profits generated can be withdrawn, but the Trial Fund principal cannot.
- Trial Funds are distributed in the form of coupons and will be sent directly to My Coupons.
- Trial Fund coupons must be claimed within their validity period. Unclaimed coupons will expire. Once claimed, the Trial Fund remains valid until it is transferred out of the Futures Account.
- Before the Trial Fund is fully consumed, transferring any funds out of the account containing the Trial Fund will cause the unused Trial Fund to expire.
- If the expiration of the Trial Fund due to fund transfers may trigger position reduction (liquidation) or cause open orders to become invalid due to insufficient margin, please manage your positions before making the transfer.
2. Deduction Bonus
A Deduction Bonus is a promotional reward provided by the platform that can only be used to offset futures trading fees. It cannot be withdrawn.
Deduction Bonus Rules
- Deduction Bonus can only be used to offset futures trading fees, with a deduction ratio of 100%.
- It can only be used to pay trading fees and cannot be used for trading or withdrawn.
- The validity period starts from the date the Deduction Bonus is received. Any unused balance will expire after the validity period ends.
3. Gift Bonus
A Gift Bonus is a special trading reward provided by the platform that allows users to experience real perpetual futures trading without using their own capital. Profits can be withdrawn, while trading losses are covered by the platform.
Gift Bonus Rules
- Gift Bonus trading is subject to leverage restrictions. The maximum leverage is shown on the coupon.
- Multiple Gift Bonuses cannot be combined. Only one Gift Bonus can be used per trade, and only one Gift Bonus position may be held at any time.
- Each Gift Bonus has its own maximum holding period. Please refer to the coupon details for the applicable duration.
- Gift Bonus is only available for Perpetual Futures, Isolated Margin Mode, and Market Orders.
Additional Notes for Gift Bonus
1. Scope of Use
Gift Bonus can only be used to open positions on designated perpetual futures trading pairs. It cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or assigned to another user.
The Gift Bonus principal cannot be withdrawn. However, profits generated through Gift Bonus trading may be withdrawn after meeting the platform requirements.
Some Gift Bonuses require users to reach a specified cumulative perpetual futures trading volume before activation. Please refer to the coupon details for specific requirements.
2. Usage Requirements
Gift Bonus only supports:
- Perpetual Futures
- Isolated Margin Mode
- Market Orders
- Trading pairs displayed on the coupon
- Leverage within the coupon's specified range
If the selected leverage exceeds the coupon limit or the trading pair is not supported, the Gift Bonus cannot be used.
The maximum position size is limited by the coupon value. If the remaining Gift Bonus is below the platform's minimum order size, the unused balance will expire.
3. Usage Restrictions
Only one Gift Bonus can be active at any given time, and users may only hold one Gift Bonus position simultaneously.
Multiple Gift Bonuses cannot be combined or used together.
If there is an existing Gift Bonus position or pending order, you must first close the position or cancel the order before using another Gift Bonus.
Take Profit and Stop Loss settings can only be applied to the entire Gift Bonus position.
4. Coupon Balance and Settlement
The coupon balance represents the actual amount currently available for opening positions and changes dynamically according to trading results.
The calculation formula is:
Coupon Balance = Initial Gift Bonus + Cumulative Net PnL − Trading Fees − Funding Fees
Net PnL is calculated independently for each Gift Bonus coupon. Trading fees and funding fees are included in the calculation and affect both the remaining balance and the withdrawable profit.
5. Number of Uses and Validity
The number of available uses is displayed on the coupon.
Each completed open-and-close transaction counts as one use. Once the maximum number of uses is reached, the Gift Bonus will automatically expire.
Gift Bonus generally includes two validity periods:
- Coupon Validity Period: The first position must be opened within the specified time after claiming the coupon. Otherwise, the coupon will expire.
- Usage Validity Period: Starts from the first opened position. Once this period expires, the system will automatically close the position and reclaim the Gift Bonus, even if there are remaining usage attempts.
Please refer to the coupon details for the exact validity period.
6. Profit Withdrawal
If Gift Bonus trading generates net profits and the platform's withdrawal requirements are met, users may withdraw the profit.
Once any profit is withdrawn, the corresponding Gift Bonus coupon will immediately become invalid, even if it still has remaining usage attempts.
7. Other Notes
Trading volume and trading fees generated through Gift Bonus do not qualify for trading fee rebates or commission rewards.
Related fund flows are not included in the user's perpetual futures account balance.
If abnormal activities such as arbitrage, batch registrations, or other rule violations are detected, Echobit reserves the right to revoke the Gift Bonus and any related profits.
