What does the name EARMA mean?

EARMA is an abbreviation of Earning Machine. It is a computer program that conducts automatic trading in real time.

A trading account is an investor-owned account created on any major trading platform. The account works similar to on-line banking. After submitting the required paperwork, such as proof of identity and/or residence, the trading platform opens new account for an investor and grants them on-line access. The investor is then able to fund the trading account from a regular bank account, and may withdraw earnings directly to the same bank account.

Who has access to funds on trading account?

Only the investor has access to the trading account and their own funds there-in.

How does EARMA trade on my trading account?

Trading platforms which support automated trading will provide a the investor with a separate password used to link to EARMA. EARMA’s functions are limited to trading activities only, such as making new orders and opening and closing positions. EARMA cannot access the account itself or the funds there-in.

How do I start using the EARMA service?

Step 1: Investor opens an account on an accredited trading platform that supports MetaTrader4 automated trading.
Step 2: Investor funds the account to the minimum amount.

How are the investments used?

The invested funds are used as working capital in the trading activities (“Working Capital”). The Working Capital shall be used by the automatic trader system (MetaTrader 4 and EARMA) to perform CFD trading activities. As outlined in the Service Agreement, the Investor shall acknowledge that a significant amount of the Working Capital may, from time to time, be allocated by the trading platform to support open positions. These funds are temporarily blocked and may be shown on trading statements as Floating or Unrealized Profit/Losses.

How is profit generated?

The EARMA system is designed to use Working Capital to produce a reliable monthly profit. Such profit would include the net profit from closing favorable positions, rebates, and any other deposits and rewards from a trading platform (“Total Profit”). The Total Profit shall not include all deposits and all withdrawals for the account.

The Total Profit is calculated on a monthly basis. The Total Profit shall be calculated as the difference between the monthly closing balance and the same month’s opening balance. The Total Profit shall not include any of deposits or withdrawals made on the account during the reported moth. Profit is calculated as:
TOTAL PROFIT = CLOSING BALANCE – OPENING BALANCE – (ALL DEPOSITS – ALL WITHDRAWALS)

How much will I earn per month?

The Investor should understand and acknowledge that the Total Profit depends on market conditions and will vary on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. It is impossible to predict exact returns. However, historically, our investors have seen returns above 3% and as high as 12% per month.

When can earnings be withdrawn from trading account?

After receiving the monthly invoice, the investor can withdraw any part of their share of the Total Profit for the month at their sole discretion.

Can I withdraw other amounts and when?
