How Arcendium works

The main public reference for users, Master Traders, brokers and professional partners.

A. About Arcendium
What is Arcendium?
+

Arcendium is a technology platform for connecting your own brokerage account to selected trading strategies.

You choose which strategy to follow and how much capital to allocate. Arcendium provides the infrastructure for account connectivity, automated strategy execution, position scaling, risk controls and monitoring.

Your trading account and funds remain with your broker. Arcendium is not a broker, does not take custody of client funds and does not process client deposits or withdrawals.

Trading involves risk, and neither Arcendium nor any strategy can guarantee future performance.

How does Arcendium work?
+

Arcendium connects your own supported brokerage account to a strategy you choose.

The process is:

  • Create your Arcendium account.
  • Connect a supported MT4, MT5 or cTrader brokerage account.
  • Review the available strategies.
  • Choose the strategy you want to follow.
  • Choose how much capital you want to allocate.
  • Activate the strategy connection.
  • Arcendium's Scale Engine calculates the appropriate position sizing and exposure for your account.
  • Eligible strategy trades can then be applied automatically to your connected account.
  • Monitor your account, strategy and risk information through Arcendium and your broker.

You remain the owner of your brokerage account throughout the process.

Is Arcendium a broker or investment adviser?
+

No.

Arcendium provides technology infrastructure for trading-account connectivity, strategy access, automated strategy execution, portfolio allocation, scaling, risk controls and monitoring.

Arcendium does not operate as your broker and does not take custody of your funds.

Your broker remains responsible for the brokerage relationship, including account approval, KYC, deposits, withdrawals and custody of your brokerage funds.

Arcendium does not guarantee investment returns or future strategy performance.

Where is my money held?
+

Your funds remain in your own brokerage account with your broker.

You deposit funds directly with the broker, not with Arcendium.

Arcendium does not receive or hold your trading capital.

Can Arcendium withdraw or transfer money from my brokerage account?
+

No.

Arcendium does not process deposits or withdrawals and does not take custody of your funds.

Deposits, withdrawals and custody remain between you and your broker.

Who owns and controls my brokerage account?
+

You do.

The brokerage account is opened directly with your broker and remains your account.

You complete the broker's normal account-opening and KYC procedures and fund the account directly with the broker.

Arcendium provides the technology that connects the account to the strategy you choose.

B. Strategies & Automated Trading
What is an Arcendium strategy?
+

An Arcendium strategy is a trading strategy available through the Arcendium platform.

Each strategy contains information that may include:

  • instruments traded;
  • historical performance;
  • drawdown;
  • trading history;
  • relevant risk and portfolio information; and
  • subscription price.

This information allows you to compare available strategies before deciding which one you want to follow.

Historical results are provided for informational purposes and do not guarantee future performance.

Who decides which strategy I follow?
+

You do.

Arcendium does not automatically assign a strategy to you.

You review the strategies available through the Marketplace and decide which strategy you want to activate.

Can I choose which instruments are traded?
+

Each strategy identifies the instruments it trades.

For example, one strategy may trade selected major FX pairs such as EUR/USD and USD/JPY, while another strategy may trade different instruments.

You review this information before choosing a strategy.

Therefore, your choice of instruments is made through your choice of strategy.

If you do not want exposure to the instruments associated with a particular strategy, you should not activate that strategy.

Who decides when a trade is opened or closed?
+

The selected strategy determines its trading decisions, including:

  • instrument;
  • trade direction;
  • entry;
  • exit;
  • Stop Loss;
  • Take Profit; and
  • underlying trade-management logic.

Once you have selected a strategy, allocated capital and activated the connection, eligible strategy trades can be applied automatically to your connected brokerage account, subject to Arcendium's Scale Engine and applicable account and risk controls.

Do I need to approve every trade manually?
+

No.

Arcendium is designed to provide automated strategy connectivity.

Once you have voluntarily selected and activated a strategy, eligible trades generated by that strategy can be applied automatically to your connected brokerage account.

You do not need to sit in front of the trading platform and manually approve each individual trade.

Who controls Stop Loss and Take Profit?
+

Stop Loss, Take Profit and the underlying trade-management logic are determined by the selected strategy.

Arcendium then applies the strategy to the connected follower account using exposure calculated by the Scale Engine.

The strategy determines the trade logic. The Arcendium Scale Engine determines the appropriate exposure for the individual follower account.

Does Arcendium guarantee profitable trades?
+

No.

No trading strategy can guarantee profits.

Trading involves risk, and losing trades, periods of drawdown and losses can occur.

Historical performance can help users understand how a strategy has behaved previously, but past performance does not guarantee future results.

How fast are trades copied, and can Arcendium handle scalping strategies?
+

Arcendium is designed to support execution-sensitive strategies, including scalping strategies with multiple simultaneous orders.

Our trade-copying infrastructure processes trades concurrently, with an internal processing latency of approximately 2–3 milliseconds per trade. Because orders are processed in parallel rather than through a single sequential queue, the system can handle 20–30 or more trades opening or closing simultaneously without creating an internal processing bottleneck.

To minimize network latency, Arcendium uses cloud infrastructure located close to major broker hubs in London, Frankfurt, New York and Singapore. This helps reduce the communication time between Arcendium and supported broker infrastructure, which is particularly important for scalping strategies and situations where multiple positions need to be closed quickly.

Actual execution time and price may still vary depending on the broker, trading platform, market conditions, liquidity, slippage and the investor’s account environment. For execution-sensitive strategies, Arcendium may therefore test the strategy with follower accounts before making it available on the Marketplace.

C. Scale Engine & Risk Controls
What is the Arcendium Scale Engine?
+

The Arcendium Scale Engine is the technology layer responsible for translating a strategy's positions into exposure appropriate for each individual follower account.

Arcendium does not simply copy the Master's absolute lot size 1:1.

Follower accounts can differ significantly in:

  • allocated capital;
  • account equity;
  • leverage;
  • available margin;
  • broker specifications;
  • existing exposure; and
  • overall account conditions.

The Scale Engine takes these differences into account before calculating the appropriate follower position.

How does the Arcendium Scale Engine work?
+

The Scale Engine begins with the relationship between the strategy's reference account and the individual follower account.

At a simplified level: Master Position × Base Scaling × Dynamic Risk Adjustment = Follower Position

The calculation considers relevant account factors including:

  • allocated capital;
  • account balance and equity;
  • leverage relationship between Master and follower;
  • available/free margin;
  • margin level;
  • total account exposure;
  • exposure by symbol and strategy;
  • concentration;
  • broker and contract specifications;
  • current drawdown;
  • available risk capacity; and
  • applicable portfolio safeguards.

The Scale Engine recalculates exposure as account conditions change rather than relying on one fixed multiplier.

Does Arcendium copy the Master's lot size 1:1?
+

No.

This is one of the main reasons the Scale Engine exists.

A Master account and a follower account may have very different capital, leverage, margin and account conditions.

Copying the same absolute lot size could therefore create completely different exposure and risk.

Arcendium instead calculates the follower position based on the individual follower account.

Who determines my trade size?
+

You determine how much capital you want to allocate to the strategy.

You do not need to calculate individual lot sizes yourself.

Arcendium's Scale Engine translates your capital allocation and the strategy's position into an appropriate position size for your account, taking account of relevant leverage, equity, margin, exposure and account conditions.

Do I choose a Low, Medium or High risk profile?
+

No.

Arcendium does not require you to select an artificial Low, Medium or High risk setting.

You choose how much capital you want to allocate to the strategy.

Arcendium then calculates scaling, leverage alignment, position sizing, margin requirements and exposure automatically through the Scale Engine.

The purpose is to remove the need for users to manually calculate lot sizes or select arbitrary risk multipliers.

Trading risk still exists, and the Scale Engine cannot prevent all trading losses.

What happens if my account does not have enough available margin or risk capacity?
+

Before allowing or sizing new exposure, the Scale Engine evaluates the condition of the connected follower account.

If margin, exposure or other account conditions do not support the calculated position, Arcendium's risk controls can reduce the calculated position size or prevent new exposure from being established.

The objective is to avoid blindly copying exposure that is inappropriate for the individual follower account.

Does the Scale Engine prevent losses?
+

No.

The Scale Engine is designed to manage scaling and exposure based on the condition of the individual follower account.

It cannot eliminate market risk.

Losing trades and drawdowns can still occur, and neither the Scale Engine nor Arcendium can guarantee that capital will not be lost.

What happens if my leverage is different from the Master's leverage?
+

The Scale Engine takes the leverage relationship between the Master account and follower account into consideration.

This means a follower account does not need to have exactly the same leverage as the Master account for Arcendium to calculate its scaling.

Position sizing and available account capacity are evaluated using the conditions of the individual follower account.

D. User Control
What do I control when using Arcendium?
+

You make the fundamental decisions about your participation.

You decide:

  • whether to use Arcendium;
  • which strategy to follow;
  • which instruments you are willing to be exposed to through your strategy selection;
  • how much capital to allocate;
  • when to activate the strategy;
  • when to pause or stop receiving new strategy trades; and
  • whether to remain connected to Arcendium.

Arcendium then automates the technical execution and scaling required to connect your account to the strategy you selected.

Can I pause or stop a strategy at any time?
+

Yes.

You can pause or stop a strategy connection.

Once the strategy is paused or stopped, Arcendium will not establish new positions from that strategy.

Positions that were already open before the strategy was paused or stopped remain active and continue according to the strategy's existing trade-management logic until they reach their applicable Take Profit or Stop Loss.

This prevents new strategy exposure while allowing existing positions to complete their intended trading lifecycle.

Can I manually override a strategy or change an open position?
+

Yes. Your brokerage account remains under your control.

If you want to override the strategy, you can access your personal MT4, MT5 or cTrader platform and manually close or modify positions yourself.

Arcendium does not normally recommend manually interfering with individual strategy positions, because doing so can alter the intended trading logic and risk management of the selected strategy.

However, the option remains available to you. Following the strategy is automated, but you are not technically prevented from taking manual control of positions in your own brokerage account.

Pausing or stopping a strategy and manually intervening in an open position are separate actions. Pausing or stopping prevents Arcendium from establishing new strategy positions, while existing positions continue according to the strategy unless you choose to intervene manually through your own brokerage platform.

What happens to my existing positions if I stop a strategy?
+

Stopping or pausing a strategy prevents new strategy positions from being established.

Existing positions remain active and continue according to their existing strategy parameters until they reach their applicable Take Profit or Stop Loss.

Can I monitor what is happening in my account?
+

Yes.

Arcendium is designed to provide visibility into your connected strategy and account activity.

You can also access your brokerage account directly through your broker's platform.

Your brokerage account remains your account throughout the relationship.

E. Brokers & Account Connection
Do I need a broker to use Arcendium?
+

Yes.

Arcendium is not a broker.

To receive strategy trades, you need a supported trading account with a compatible broker.

You can connect an existing supported account or, where available, use Arcendium's broker resources to open an account with a compatible broker.

Which trading platforms does Arcendium support?
+

Arcendium currently supports new trading-account connections through:

  • MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
  • MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
  • cTrader

Actual availability may depend on the broker, jurisdiction and account type.

Do I have to use a broker recommended by Arcendium?
+

No.

Where technically supported, you may connect an existing compatible brokerage account.

Arcendium also provides broker resources for users who do not already have a suitable account.

Any broker recommendation or affiliate relationship is separate from the user's decision to open and maintain a brokerage account.

Broker availability, products, leverage and account conditions can vary by jurisdiction.

What does the broker control?
+

The broker remains responsible for the brokerage relationship.

This generally includes:

  • account opening;
  • identity verification/KYC;
  • deposits;
  • withdrawals;
  • custody of brokerage funds;
  • available products;
  • account leverage;
  • execution conditions; and
  • broker-specific terms.

Arcendium provides the technology for strategy connectivity, scaling, risk controls and monitoring.

Are my broker credentials secure?
+

Account credentials used for supported connections are handled by Arcendium's secure server-side connection infrastructure.

Sensitive credentials are protected and are not displayed in plaintext in the user interface after entry.

Users should always protect their broker and Arcendium login information and follow appropriate account-security practices.

F. Performance & Fees
How should I interpret historical strategy performance?
+

Historical performance provides information about how a strategy has performed in the past.

It can be useful when reviewing:

  • returns;
  • drawdown;
  • consistency;
  • closed trades; and
  • other available strategy statistics.

However, historical performance does not predict or guarantee future performance.

Market conditions change, and future results may differ significantly from historical results.

What fees does Arcendium charge?
+

Each strategy displays its applicable customer price before activation.

Pricing can vary by strategy and selected subscription tier.

The complete Arcendium subscription price is shown before you activate the strategy.

Broker trading costs, spreads, commissions, financing charges or other broker-specific costs are separate and are determined by your broker.

How does the four-week free trial work?
+

Eligible new users can begin with Arcendium's four-week free trial where the offer is available.

A payment method may be collected securely during subscription setup, but the Arcendium subscription is not charged until the trial period ends.

Users can cancel before paid billing begins in accordance with the applicable subscription terms.

Broker trading activity is separate from the Arcendium subscription. Trading during a free Arcendium trial still involves real market risk if a live funded brokerage account is used.

G. Master Traders / Strategy Providers
What is an Arcendium Master?
+

An Arcendium Master is an approved strategy provider whose trading strategy can be made available through the Arcendium Marketplace.

Arcendium reviews applicants before public activation.

Approval is not automatic.

What do I need to become an Arcendium Master?
+

Applicants must provide the information and supporting records required by Arcendium.

This includes a complete trading-account history covering a minimum of the previous 12 months.

Arcendium may also request additional information required to understand and evaluate the strategy and trading account.

What does Arcendium evaluate when reviewing a Master?
+

Arcendium's review may consider factors including:

  • completeness of trading history;
  • consistency;
  • drawdown;
  • position sizing;
  • trading behaviour;
  • exposure;
  • strategy stability;
  • account history; and
  • supporting broker/account information.

Arcendium may reject, suspend or remove a strategy that does not satisfy its platform requirements.

Approval by Arcendium does not mean that future profitability is guaranteed.

Does Arcendium change the Master's trading decisions?
+

The Master strategy remains the source of the underlying trading decisions, including instrument, direction, entry, exit and applicable trade-management parameters.

Arcendium's role is to provide the infrastructure that connects approved strategies to follower accounts.

The Scale Engine then independently determines the appropriate exposure for each individual follower account rather than copying the Master's absolute lot size.

How are Master trades delivered to follower accounts?
+

At a simplified level: Master Strategy → Arcendium → Scale Engine → Follower Account

The Master strategy generates the trading decision.

Arcendium receives the strategy activity.

The Scale Engine evaluates the individual follower account and calculates the appropriate exposure.

The eligible scaled position can then be established on the connected follower account.

Different followers may therefore receive different position sizes from the same Master trade because their capital, leverage, equity, margin and account conditions can differ.

Does becoming an Arcendium Master guarantee followers or income?
+

No.

Approval allows a strategy to become available through the Arcendium platform but does not guarantee followers, subscription revenue or future trading performance.
