Advanced charting tools and algorithmic trading via Expert Advisors (EAs) are included to enhance trading capabilities.

Chart Analysis Tools

Partial fills are supported for large orders. Open positions display in the “Trade” tab showing live profit/loss and margin. Modify or close trades directly from this panel.

ECN Account Specifications

ECN accounts deliver direct market access with spreads from 0.0 pips plus commissions of $7 per lot. This account is optimized for scalping and high-frequency strategies. Canadian traders benefit from transparent pricing reflecting interbank rates and faster execution speeds without dealer intervention.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

PU Prime supports multiple funding options for Canadian clients, enabling seamless deposits and withdrawals in CAD or other major currencies. Payment methods include bank wire transfers, credit/debit cards, and e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller. Deposit processing is typically instant except for bank wires, which take 1-2 business days.

Deposit Options and Limits

Credit card deposits start from $50 CAD and reflect immediately in your trading account. Bank transfers require a minimum of $100 CAD and include SWIFT code instructions for Canadian banks. E-wallet deposits are processed instantly with minimum amounts aligned with provider rules.

Withdrawal Processing Times

Withdrawal requests must be submitted via the client portal under “Funds Management.” Credit card withdrawals take 3-5 business days, while wire transfers clear within 2-4 days. E-wallet withdrawals are usually finalized within 24 hours. PU Prime enforces same-method withdrawal policies for security and compliance.

Fees and Restrictions

PU Prime does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees. However, intermediary banks may apply charges on international wire transfers. Withdrawal limits depend on verification level, with fully verified accounts allowed up to $10,000 CAD daily via wire transfer. Higher limits can be arranged on request.

Risk Management Tools

MT5 on PU Prime includes several risk management features critical for Canadian traders facing volatile forex and CFD markets. Stop loss and take profit orders are fundamental to managing risk exposure on each trade. Our platform also allows trailing stops to automatically follow favourable price movements. Position sizing calculators help determine optimal trade volumes based on account risk tolerance.

Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders

Set stop loss orders to restrict losses on trades to a predetermined price level. MT5 automatically closes positions when stop loss triggers. Take profit orders lock in gains at target prices. Canadian traders typically use risk-reward ratios of at least 1:2, meaning take profit distances double stop loss distances.

Position Sizing Calculations

Use the built-in MT5 calculator or manual formulas to calculate trade size based on account balance and acceptable risk percentage (commonly 1-2%). The platform updates margin requirements instantly as lot sizes adjust. Maintaining appropriate size prevents margin calls during sharp CAD pair movements.

Portfolio Diversification

PU Prime encourages diversification by providing access to multiple asset classes including forex, commodities, and indices. Diversifying across instruments reduces exposure to single-market volatility. MT5 facilitates easy portfolio monitoring across all open positions.
