What are the advantages of being a Forex Trader Portal Member?
Forex Trader Portal membership is free and it allows you to research and invest in credible fund managers solely at your own discretion.

Here are some of the major benefits:

• The opportunity to invest with lower minimums and no holding of principal. (less risky)
• The convenience of quick withdrawals - normally within 5 business days.
• Our traders behind each programs has at least more than 5 years of trading experience with proven track records.
• We conduct in-depth research and due diligence in all our fund managers.
• All informations are backup daily.
• We provide alternative contacts in the event of DDOS or attacks in any other form.
• All data are encrypted to provide our members and fund managers a peace of mind.

Why should we trust you with our funds?
One of the objectives of Forex Trader Portal is to identify and recruit trusted fund managers with our stringent requirements so as to properly manage and invest our members' funds with investment programs that require higher minimums and some higher risks. We have researched and conducted our due diligence before appointing our fund manager to perform the task. We maintain contact with all the fund managers to provide a considerable degree of confidence that the Forex Trader Portal is doing what it preaches.

Also, we have been operating offline since Sept 2005 without complaint. While this does not necessarily assuring our integrity, but it shows that we are competent and professional to provide our members the best services over longer period. We feel confident now to bring this investment opportunity online, in 10 Mar 2006, to potential prospects globally and push our business to greater heights.

Last but not least, we are making some profits from our business activities, which we expect to grow substantially over the coming years, and it would be extremely imprudent for us to throw this away.

Where do you operate from?
Forex Trader Portal is not a registered entity in any jurisdiction. It is not operating from the US or by US citizens. Please read through our Terms for additional information on our legal structure.

How long have you been operating?
Forex Trader Portal started online operations on Mar 10, 2006.

What are the reasons for low interests?
Interests rate offered by our fund managers may appear less attractive for some of you, especially if you compare us with many other high yield investment programs. The reasons are as follow:

• Our fund managers only do day trading.
• Our fund managers only trade less than 20 days in a month due to personal commitments.
• Our fund managers do not trade with all the deposits they managed and they offer certain percentagel of principal protection.
• Forex Trader Portal takes 25% management fee from the net monthly profits from each fund manager and post the net interests on the performance page.
• Apparently we are not running a ponzi, MLM, pyramid or similar kind of business model.
• Most important reason is that we are running a serious business and we want to grow with you.

What is Principal Insured?
Forex Trading is high risk in nature and some fund managers offer certain level of protection on your deposits only to prevent total loss due to bad trades or unforeseen circumstances. For example: If Howard offers a Principal Insurance of 50%, you will receive at least 50% of your deposits, less any earnings, bonuses and commissions, in the event of trade losses. We feel this is necessary to protect our members' funds. Do note that insurance covers only your deposits and not account level.

What are your Fees?
Forex Trader Portal charges an administration fee of 3% or $3.00, whichever is higher on each withdrawals to cover banking and transfer costs. This is necessary to help us reduce cost as we do not keep funds online due to security reasons.

We do not charge penalty fee for early withdrawal of principal as we have strong reserve fund to maintain the stability of our investments.

How do we contact you?
We operate via email, but as part of our efforts to fight spammers, we will not publish our email addresses online. We ask that you utilise the online contact form on our website, which you can access by clicking here. We will normally respond within 3 working days by email.

Can we have more than one Membership Account?
No, you may have only one Membership Account for any individual or organisational entity. This does not mean that you cannot invest in more than one fund manager as that is exactly why Forex Trader Portal was created. You can spread your Forex Trader Portal investment across as many fund manager as you wish.

What is the minimum investment required?
The minimum investment required to join at least one of our fund managers is $50. Please note that no interests will be paid to account balance of less than the minimum required for each plan.

How do we make a Deposit or Withdrawal?
You can select a fund manager to transact with via the  "My Accounts" link in the member's page. You can then make a deposit to, or withdrawal from any Fund Manager using the Deposit and Withdrawal features located in the top menu of each fund managers.

We only accept E-Gold at this point in time as it is the most reliable and widely used payment processor.

When is the monthly cut-off for deposits?
The cut-off date and time for deposits to earn interests in the following month is midnight server time on the last day of each month. All deposits will be Settled into your account on the 5th of the following month by midnight server time.

I can't see my Deposit in the Account Overview?
New deposits made before cut-off date and time are termed Pending Deposits. They will not show up in the balances of the Account Overview on the "My Accounts" page. Please follow this link to learn how to view your Pending Deposits.

What are Pending Deposits?
All deposits paid to Forex Trader Portal before cut-off date and time are termed "Pending Deposits". Deposits will be "Settled" into your account balance after midnight server time on the 5th of the following month.

Why is there a 5 days settlement period?
This is because Settled deposits can be withdrawn immediately, we need to ensure that we have received payments from all deposits that are recorded into our system. We will then do a manual check for any discrepancies between the system record and our e-gold account before we settle those deposits into respective members' accounts. Taking into considerations on the possibility of weekends and holidays falling on the first few days, 5 days allowance will ensure that this process is carried out thoroughly and accurately.

All deposits will start earning interests from the 1st day of every month despite the 5 days settlement period.

How can I see my Pending Deposits?
Please click on the specific fund manager you have funded to see details of your investment. The new deposit amount will be categorised under "Pending Deposits" section . If you click on it, it will take you to the "Deposit History and Status" page (which you can also access from the "Deposit" page) You will see full deposit transaction details.

When do deposits start earning interests?
Please follow this link for more information.

When do we receive our interests?
When the interests for previous month is announced and paid by each programs, it will be credited into your account latest by the following dates:

   Howard - 10th of the month
   Chris - 10th of the month

Interests still compounds monthly, no matter how late in the month it may be applied to accounts. Interests will be calculated according to your account balance before it is credited into your account.

Can I compound my interests?
All Forex Trader Portal accounts compound interests by default. The interests is paid to your internal fund manager account, not to your e-gold account. Therefore the next month you are paid on the compounded balance total of principal plus interests. There is no differential between principal and interests within our system. You simply have a total balance (for each fund manager) which can be left to compound for as long as you wish, or you can make withdrawals from this total balance at any time you wish.

What happens if a Fund Manager loses money?
