Leave your account without a trade for 180 days and Quotex starts taking 1% of your balance every day, never less than $1 a day. Clause 7.27 sets no end to it.
Why this matters
A daily charge, not a monthly one, empties a forgotten account inside a few months. Nothing in the contract makes Quotex warn you before the first deduction.
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.Harder than usualHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.1%The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.NewThis wording was not in the version we read last time. It was added or changed since then.
In case the Client has not performed operations on the account (including trading operations) for 180 days or more, a daily account maintenance fee of 1% of the Client's current balance, but not less than $1 (one) American dollar, is charged from the Client's account.
Buried at section 29 of 38 in the Service Agreement, 76% of the way through.We counted the numbered sections in the Service Agreement. This clause sits in section 29 of 38, about 76% of the way through. A fee written on the first page and the same fee written near the end are not the same disclosure.
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 dormant account holding $1,000 loses $10 on the first day. At 1% a day the balance falls below $500 in about ten weeks, and the $1 minimum keeps taking what is left.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| After 6 months | Quotex can block your access to the trading terminal. | 7.26 |
| Day 180 | A daily fee of 1% of your balance starts, never less than $1 a day. | 7.27 |
- Worse together with Exhibit 9Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The balance drains daily while profit above your deposit has no defined route out.
