MT4 Account requirements

Leverage, minimum deposit, and basic funding guidance.

Your MT4 account must meet these requirements before you connect.

What account type is required?

You must open a STANDARD MT4 account.

No other account types (such as RAW, ECN or Islamic) are supported.

What leverage is required?

500:1 leverage is required to maintain margin requirements.

Most of our approved brokers offer this leverage level by default.

What is leverage?

Leverage lets you control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital.

You are required to open a 500:1 leverage broker account.

BTC Breakout uses fixed lot sizing proportional to account balance.

The full 500:1 leverage is required to maintain margin requirements during volatile market conditions.

What is the minimum deposit?

A $1,200 minimum deposit is required to meet risk and margin requirements.

We recommend a starting balance of $1,200–$5,000 to allow the strategy sufficient room to operate and manage drawdowns effectively.

The less you trade with, the less painful a drawdown might feel.

Never trade with funds you are not willing to lose.
