Your first trade with Rise comes with a safety net.
Secure Start is a Rise program for new clients. The idea is simple: your first eligible trade carries less downside than every trade you'll place after it. If it closes at a loss, we refund the loss — up to the program cap — straight back to your account balance.
How It Works in One Paragraph
You open a Rise account. You complete KYC. Within 7 days of KYC approval, you place your first eligible trade. If that trade closes in profit, you keep the profit and Secure Start is done. If it closes at a loss, Rise credits the loss back to your account (up to the cap). The refund is real cash — you can trade with it or withdraw it.
What's Covered
- Realised loss on the first eligible trade, after swap and trading costs.
- Refund credited as balance, not bonus credit.
- Refund cap is in your account base currency.
What's Not Covered
- Second, third, or any subsequent trade.
- A first trade that closes in profit (no refund, but you keep the profit).
- Trades opened after the 7-day window.
- Trades on instruments excluded from the program.
Why Rise Offers This
Many new clients are confident in their analysis but anxious about the mechanics — execution, slippage, leverage. Secure Start removes the cost of that first learning trade so you can focus on the platform itself.
