Stop logging in and Bold Prime can take 5% of your balance every month, or $10, whichever is bigger. Clause 30.2 lets it keep taking that until the balance reaches zero.
Dormancy means an account left unused.
Why this matters
A $2,000 balance loses $100 in the first month, not $10. Bold Prime needs no notice and no reminder, and the charge stops only when there is nothing left to take.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.5%The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
Where an inactive account maintains a positive cash balance, the Company shall be entitled, at its sole and absolute discretion, to deduct from such account a monthly handling fee in the amount of USD 10 (or the equivalent in other currencies), or an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the account balance, whichever is greater.
What it costsThe same clause worked out on a round number, so you can see it in money or in days. It is an example, not a quotation.A $2,000 balance is charged $100 in month one, because 5% of $2,000 beats the $10 floor. A $100 balance is charged $10, because the floor beats 5%.
Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must set out costs and charges to a retail client before they trade. Bold Prime places this one in clause 30.2 of a 47 page agreement.
Bold Prime is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Dormancy fees are normally a small flat amount, so the cost of leaving an account alone does not grow with the money in it. A percentage charge scales with your balance, which means the larger your account, the more each idle month costs.
What happens, and whenThe Trigger column is what has to happen first. Once that point is reached, the broker may do what the next column says. Every rung names the clause it came from, so you can check it.
| Trigger | What the broker may then do | Clause |
|---|---|---|
| Day 7 (MT5) | Bold Prime treats an MT5 account with no login as inactive. | 30.1 |
| Day 90 (MT4) | Bold Prime treats an MT4 account with no login as inactive. | 30.1 |
| Every month while inactive | Bold Prime deducts $10 or 5% of the balance, whichever is greater. | 30.2 |
| Balance reaches zero | The account now meets Bold Prime's test for archiving. | 30.1 |
| Once archived | You lose access to the account. | 30.3 |
| Asking for it back | Bold Prime does not have to reactivate the account. | 30.4 |
- Worse together with Exhibit 6Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.Leaving money in place costs 5% a month, and taking it out without trading can cost another 5%.
