✨Fixed Time Trades
Fixed Time Trades (Fixed Time, FTT) is one of the trading modes available on the Olymp Trade platform. In this mode, you make trades for a limited period of time and receive a fixed rate of return for a correct forecast about the movements in currency, stock, and other asset prices.

🔍Choosing Trade Conditions
There is a menu that lets you select trade conditions next to the asset chart. To open a trade, you need to specify:
- The trade amount: This is what the amount of your potential profit depends on.
- Trade time: For most assets, the minimum trade time is 1 minute, but there are exceptions when trades can last 5 or 15 minutes.
📈Up and Down Trades
If you think that the asset price will go up by the end of the selected time period, press the green button. If you plan to profit from a decline in the rate, press the red button.
The first option is called an "Up trade." The second one is a "Down trade."
💰Minimum & Maximum Trade Amount for FTT Mode
The minimum investment amount is $1 or €1. Maximum Trade Amount in the FTT mode will depend on your account's status:
- For a trader with a Starter status, the maximum trade amount is $3,000 or €3,000.
- For a trader with an Advanced status, the maximum trade amount is $4,000 or €4,000.
- For a trader with an Expert status, the maximum trade amount is $5,000 or €5,000.

🤑 Risk-Free Trades
A risk–free trade protects your investment from losses. If you activate a risk–free trade that closes with a negative result, the trade amount will be credited to your account.
Each risk–free trade has its value, which limits your investment protection. Let’s say a risk–free trade has a value of $100. In case of a losing trade, only $100 of the investment will be credited back to your account, even if your trade amount is $500.
🎥 RFT:
Risk-free trades is a premium platform feature. One can get them by making a large enough deposit to reach the Expert status, showing high activity with a live account, or taking part in tournaments.
