Frequently Asked Questions
Clarity builds confidence. Below are answers to the most common questions about Gain’s structure, performance, and security.
About Gain
What is Gain?
Gain is a trading technology provider. We connect your personal brokerage account to professional-grade algorithmic strategies via LPOA (Limited Power of Attorney).
We are not a broker, fund, custodian, or bank.
Where is Gain incorporated?
Gain Enterprises INC is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
Do you accept U.S. clients?
No. At this time, Gain does not accept clients domiciled in the United States.
Who is the ideal client for Gain?
Investors seeking disciplined, systematic exposure to global markets — while retaining full custody and liquidity of their capital.
Performance & Strategy
Are your results audited?
Performance is independently tracked through Myfxbook using investor-password access. Myfxbook is a third-party performance tracker but not a financial auditor.
Why may returns differ between clients?
Results may vary due to broker execution quality, spreads, leverage settings, deposit timing, liquidity conditions, and market environment.
What is the maximum historical drawdown?
All trading strategies experience periods of drawdown. Our risk engine is designed to manage and contain volatility — not eliminate it. Historical statistics are available via Myfxbook.
Do you guarantee returns?
No. There are no guarantees. Trading involves substantial risk.
What markets do you trade?
Our fiat services trade spot forex, metals, and indices (depending on broker offering).
Fees & Structure
What are the fees for the service?
50% Performance fee using an equity high-water mark, calculated monthly.
There are:
• No entry fees
• No management fees
• No exit fees
• No lockups
How are fees are calculated and charged?
At the end of each month, the broker calculates any performance fee due using your account’s equity high-water mark. Any applicable fee is then deducted directly from your trading account by the broker, in accordance with your signed fee and authorization and LPOA.
What is the minimum to join?
$20,000 USD or equivalent in EUR or CHF.
Liquidity & Withdrawals
Can I withdraw at any time?
Yes. Deposits and withdrawals are handled directly through your broker.
Is there a lockup period?
No. Gain imposes no capital restrictions.
What happens if I stop using Gain?
You may revoke LPOA with your broker at any time. Your capital remains in your account under your name.
Risk & Security
Who holds my money?
Your regulated broker (e.g., Axi, Pepperstone or Tradeview).
Can Gain withdraw funds?
No. Gain has trading-only access via LPOA and no withdrawal authority.
What happens if Gain ceases operations?
Your capital remains in your brokerage account under your name. Gain never takes custody.
Is leverage used?
Leverage may be used depending on broker settings. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
How do you manage risk during extreme events?
Our systems dynamically adjust exposure based on volatility, correlation, and market stress. Trading may be reduced or paused during abnormal conditions.
Operations
How long does onboarding take?
Typically 1–3 business days, depending on broker verification.
What is the recommended minimum deposit?
Each broker maintains its own account-opening and minimum-deposit requirements. Separately, Gain requires a minimum client account allocation of US$20,000.
Can I open multiple currency accounts?
Yes, subject to broker approval.
Do you provide tax reporting?
No. Tax reporting is provided by your broker. Clients are responsible for compliance within their jurisdiction.
Do you manage institutional accounts?
Yes, subject to minimum capital requirements and compliance review.
Gain Giving
How are donations verified?
All donations are made in Bitcoin and can be verified on-chain.
Does donating reduce client returns?
No. Donations are allocated from Gain’s performance fees — never from client capital.
