FAQ
Any further questions can be directed to support@xtrsk.com.
What is PULSE?
PULSE is a fast-trigger trading system for gold and EURUSD. It is designed around quick momentum decisions, disciplined exits, and no grid or martingale recovery logic.
Which markets does it trade?
The main focus is XAUUSD / gold. EURUSD is supported when market conditions and execution quality are suitable.
Which platforms are supported?
PULSE supports FIX API, MT4 and MT5 account routes. Any account allocated to the hedge-HFT vertical must have hedging enabled and must permit the required opposing trades; netting-only accounts are not used for that vertical.
Does every order have an immediate stop loss?
Yes. A protective stop is active from the start of each trade and can close exposure without waiting for a profit condition. Actual fills can still be affected by gaps, slippage and market liquidity.
What is the time-based stop or time in force?
Each order has a configured maximum lifetime. If the signal has not completed within that window, PULSE expires the position so a short-duration trade does not remain open as stale exposure.
How do minimum profit and minimum pips work?
Normal profit-taking can require both a configured minimum-profit level and a minimum favourable move in pips. These thresholds qualify the profit exit; the immediate stop and time-based stop remain independent and can close the order first.
How does PULSE trail profits?
When price moves favourably, trailing logic follows the trade and progressively protects captured profit while allowing controlled room for the immediate move to continue.
How does the hedge-HFT vertical control exposure?
It uses coordinated opposing trades to reduce or square net directional exposure. If a hedge leg is rejected, delayed or only partly filled, the unmatched position is treated as a priority execution-risk event.
Does hedge HFT require hedging-enabled accounts?
Yes. Hedging must be enabled on every FIX API, MT4 and MT5 account assigned to that vertical. The broker must permit the required opposing positions; netting-only accounts are not activated for hedge HFT.
Is PULSE risk-management compliant?
PULSE is designed to follow a documented order-level framework: immediate stop loss, per-order time limit, minimum-profit and minimum-pip gates, trailing-profit protection and hedge controls where applicable. “Compliant” describes adherence to those configured operating rules; it is not a claim of regulatory certification and does not eliminate loss.
What risks remain after these controls?
Slippage, spread widening, rejected or partial fills, connection failures, broker restrictions and an unmatched hedge leg can still affect results. PULSE therefore requires account, broker and infrastructure review before activation.
Does it use grid or martingale?
No. PULSE is not a grid, martingale, recovery ladder, or averaging strategy.
Which brokers are suitable?
Clients need broker infrastructure capable of very low-latency execution, ideally around 1 ms to Equinix NY or LD5 London where available. Broker choice is reviewed before access.
Who manages the infrastructure?
The XTRSK team manages the infrastructure plan for clients, including routing expectations, server location, and execution requirements.
Do clients need to be under an IB?
The standard route is through the XTRSK IB relationship so broker setup, support, and infrastructure routing can be managed properly. IB-independent access is also available for an extra fee.
Which IB broker routes are available?
The current IB route is VARIANSE UK, subject to account eligibility, jurisdiction, and broker approval.
Do you accept US clients?
No. XTRSK does not accept US clients.
Is access automatic after signup?
No. Access is reviewed first. The team checks account type, broker route, infrastructure suitability, and whether the client understands the risk.
Can XTRSK guarantee results?
No. Trading leveraged products involves significant risk. Live account history and past performance do not guarantee future results.
