Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I have full control over my trading account?
Yes. Your funds remain in a trading account under your name, giving you complete control over deposits and withdrawals. The trader only has access to execute trades on your behalf — they cannot withdraw your money. If you want the trader to place trades for you, you must provide a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA).
-
Can traders or brokers withdraw my funds?
No. They are only authorised to make trades. Withdrawals can only be done by you, as the account holder.
-
Is the forex/commodity market easily manipulated?
No. Unlike stock exchanges that operate on a single centralized regulator, the forex and commodity markets are decentralised, highly liquid, and extremely competitive. Because trading volume is massive, no single investor has the power to influence prices, reducing the risk of manipulation.
-
Is trading the same as gambling?
No. This is a common myth. Forex/commodity trading is based on macro-economic behaviour, national and regional economic trends, and inter-market relationships — not chance. Professional traders use strategy, analysis, risk management and economic indicators to make informed decisions.
-
Can profit be made in any type of market?
Yes. Traders can make money whether the market is moving up, down or sideways. There are always opportunities depending on the strategy and market direction.
-
Is the investment completely hands-off for me?
Yes. A managed forex/commodity account allows you to invest without spending hours learning to trade. A professional trader handles the analysis, strategy, and execution while you monitor results. This removes emotional decision-making, which often causes long-term losses.
-
How is risk managed in the account?
Risk control is a central part of the investment. Riamus Capital uses a maximum drawdown limit (for example, 20%). If the account hits this limit, trading stops automatically to protect your capital. Your personal risk profile decides how much drawdown you can tolerate.
-
What are the benefits of a Managed Forex Trading Account?
A managed account provides: Professional strategy and execution Transparency and full account access Compounded growth over time Lower emotional involvement Flexibility compared to long-term property or term deposits This allows investors to compare performance against other investment types.
-
How much can I expect to earn?
Returns vary based on market conditions and risk settings. A well-managed account can often outperform traditional investments. Even with a minimum deposit (typically around $30,000) , Investors may see returns between 7 to 10% or more depending on the strategy and performance. (These are examples based on historical performance-not guaranteed returns)
-
How liquid is my investment? Can I withdraw quickly?
Forex accounts offer high liquidity. Unlike property or long-term deposits where money is locked, you can usually withdraw funds within 2–3 business days after closing your trades.
-
Do I need experience to invest with Riamus Capital?
No. The managed account is designed for individuals who do not have the time or expertise to trade on their own. Professionals handle the trading while you monitor the account at any time.
-
Can I close my account whenever I want?
Yes. As long as there are no open trades, you can close the account and withdraw your entire balance whenever you choose.
