Bonus System Overview
TheTrueTrade offers a flexible Bonus System designed to reward active traders through special campaigns and promotional events.
All bonuses are credited and settled in USDC, giving users real trading power that can be used directly on perpetual markets.
What Is a Bonus?
A bonus is trading collateral granted by TrueTrade, usually from promotions, trading contests, or event participation. It can be used as a margin for perpetual trading, just like your real balance.
Bonuses are displayed in your account balance under “Bonus Balance” and can be used instantly.

How Bonuses Work in Trading
Bonuses function as trading margin, boosting your available collateral and reducing liquidation risk. They work seamlessly with your live balance.
Example: You have a 100 USDC real balance and receive a 50 USDC trading bonus.
- Your total available margin = 150 USDC
- You open a 10× leveraged trade using 150 USDC = 1,500 USDC position If the trade makes a $100 profit, that $100 is real and withdrawable, even though the margin included a bonus.
If the position is liquidated, both the bonus and your real margin are consumed proportionally based on your position size.
Bonus Expiration & Risk Control
Each event’s bonus comes with its own expiration date, after which any unused bonus will automatically expire.
Open positions that use bonus margin will remain active even after the bonus expires. Once the position is closed, the bonus amount is automatically reclaimed and removed from the account.
