PRODUCT
Hydra Lynx Ltd is currently solely focused on PAMM and subscription Expert Advisors. We do offer a reconfigured version of our premium Expert Advisor to selected customers, please contact us for more information.
Here at Hydra, we believe in having skin in the game. Profitability and reliability are paramount to our offering, and the best way for us to deliver this is through an affordable subscription and PAMM service. In our experience one off products are suited to experienced traders (despite some of the great crash courses out there).
Our vision is to allow anyone to trade the markets, and not have to worry about how to do this, have virtual servers, or manage the inevitable complexities of Expert Advisor set files and other technicalities.
Importantly, Hydra Lynx is a complete customer experience, and no customer is ever abandoned (a common problem in the trading world).
Everyone is high fiving when profits are rolling in, and as soon as the account is in trouble, the customer support dries up and the customer is blamed or advised to just deposit more funds and hope for the best.
Hydra is a comprehensive trading platform that is highly dynamic and truly one of a kind. It has been designed and engineered from the ground up over several years and has spent significant time in beta and closed user group testing. The platform is constantly evolving and improving, and all customers benefit from this automatically.
Hydra uses dynamic lot sizing, automatically calculating based off the size of the account, risk profile of the customer and number of instruments being traded.
By accepting our T&Cs when signing up, you will agree to not use any accounts linked to Hydra for manual or auto trading. This will likely have significant impacts on the algo calculations, margin management or potentially in-flight trades.
If you manually trade or use other services, please do these from a separate account.
A common question, and very valid when signing up for a new service. There are many factors involved in understanding ROI, but at the most basic level we ensure that all subscription costs as a minimum are covered (worst case). On the lowest risk adjusted settings a standard account would easily be able to exceed your monthly subscription by several multiples. We provide historical performance to help guide your decisions.
If we feel your setup or instrument selection is not performing optimally, we will discuss with you and adjust to help you reach your objectives.
Likewise, if we feel your settings are overly aggressive for your account, we will work with you to de-risk these. Nothing is done without consulting you first.
Hydra Lynx operates 3 PAMM accounts with Eurotrader, all tergetting at least 10% growth per month.
For deposits, you will need to meet the minimum upfront requirements of $500. You are able to top-up this deposit as frequently as you would like with any amount over the minimum deposit value.
Withdrawals are permissible, once the overall account balance is over the high water mark and the withdrawal has been approved by Hydra Lynx. This ensures the safety of the fund at all times, whilst allowing flexibility to the investor.
ACCOUNT
For any of our PAMM offerings a minimum of $500 is required.
For the standalone Expert Advisors we recommend at least $10,000 or higher.
On the PAMM products we accept any deposit sizes.
For the standalone Expert Advisors we recommend an account splitting strategy based off a total number of pairs of 21. However account splitting does not mean you need a new account as the software will devise the number of pairs and lot sizes traded accordingly
For the PAMM products you will have to sign up for an account with Dooprime. We have a good relationship with them making it a pain free set up.
For standalone Expert Advisors we can recommend both Roboforex and Dooprime as the product has been fully tested on their platforms.
Both of these brokers are regulated, as per our guidance.
If RoboForex or Eurotrader is unavailable, we highly recommend you use a broker who is regulated in your jurisdiction, to ensure no challenges when time for profit withdrawal comes along. Please do your research.
We ask all customers to never do anything manually on their account. Whilst technically this is feasible, there could be repercussions of doing this.
SUBSCRIPTION EXPERT ADVISORS
When you sign-up, your subscription will be setup in Stripe, and will be payable monthly in advance. This same method of payment will be used to deduct all outstanding fees on a monthly basis. You can replace this method of payment at any time through the customer portal.
If your subscription payment fails, you will be notified automatically and provided 24 hours to provide a new payment method. If your payment fails a second time and you have not been in contact with us to make alternative arrangements, the trading platform will be disabled on your account and placed in suspense.
You may suspend or cancel the service at anytime, this is a monthly subscription. All payments are for a full calendar month of trading, there are no partial refunds provided as our costs are all incurred up front.
You can cancel services on the Hydra Zone directly. We will advise once your account has traded out that it is safe to withdraw your funds from your broker account. Please do not withdraw until we have communicated with you.
In this case you will be required to take a subscription per account. For example you want to run three portfolio accounts then you subscription depending on your broker status will be either $149 x 3 or $249 x 3 per month.
PROFITS
Your profits are retained in your broker account and can be accessed by logging into your broker and withdrawing directly. We do request that you never withdraw more than your profits as your account would have been setup specifically for this account size. If this is the case, please speak to us first so we can make any required adjustments to your configuration.
There are several options available to you in this instance. If you have made sufficient profits, you can add more products to your portfolio or adjust the risk settings of your current portfolio to take advantage of the higher available balance.
Some accounts can also be enabled for Accelerated growth if opted for, which will ensure Hydra trades optimally for your account size without interference.
PAMM performance is monitored through the Dooprime PAMM dashboard, which as a customer you will have access to 24/7.
Standalone Expert Advisor performance can be monitored directly through your broker or by logging into your MT4 account using the app. We can assist you with this, if you are unsure.
SUPPORT
Through the Hydra Zone you can contact your assigned account manager. You can communicate through the helpdesk system, or you can schedule a call with to discuss anything on weekdays between 9-4pm GMT.
There is also educational content on the Hydra Zone that may answer your query.
If you can get a supporting broker account that we accept and its funded, you can sign-up as a customer.
You will also need to ensure your broker (and your country of registration) does not have any restrictions on hedging or FIFO, as both are used extensively.
Unfortunately, not. Hydra makes extensive use of hedging and does not strictly conform to FIFO, which are requirements of the US financial regulators.
TRADING
Once you are setup and trading, no additional time is required from you. You are free to get on with your day-to-day life and let Hydra earn for you while you live your life.
An understanding of what trading is conceptually, is a great start as you should never get involved in anything you do not know. There is a lot of literature available online for newcomers.
As far as using the Hydra service, no prior experience in trading or technical knowledge is required.
Hydra has several features which are proprietary and are not available publicly. Once you are signed up and a paying customer you will be invited to sharing sessions with an expert who will answer questions and demonstrate some of our capability.
Hydra has a fully fledged PAMM offering and has managed to bring its consistency and performance seen before to our latest rendition with Dooprime . This is a free to subscribe offering with a 20% performance fee
Most products, commonly known as Expert Advisors, are one off purchases. 9 times out of 10, you are expected to be able to run these yourself usually off a Virtual Private Server. There are many good EA’s available on the market, and there are many very poor ones (sometimes it’s a challenge to really know).
This is a full service offering and not a piece of software. You get direct access to some of the most highly traded markets in the world but in a safer and more controlled manner
Hydra is built around volatility, and so frequency of trading is affected by this. Hydra will generally not trade adverse events, however there are caveats to this depending on your current positions.
In general, Hydra is risk adverse and will always try to take the least risk approach to everything. By default, this means it could trade less frequently than platforms which may be designed around signals.
No NEW trading cycles are opened within 24 hours either side of key news events. If there are existing trade cycles open, these will trade through using extreme risk avoidance strategies which deploy automatically to safeguard the account. Many of these are proprietary to Hydra and first of a kind in the retail market today.
Opening a broker account may seem daunting at first, but this is not unlike opening any transactional account with a financial institution. The most important aspect is to use a broker that is regulated in your domicile jurisdiction to avoid AML and KYC complications. If you require assistance with selecting a reputable broker, you can reach out to us at customer@hydra-lynx.com
The high watermark is a term used to describe the equity of the trade account. The importance of this term derives from the nature of expert advisors which predominantly sit in perpetual drawdown. Although this drawdown figure changes it ensures we are not deducting performance fees from unrealised profits. The account may have increased its balance but if equity is below your starting balance we cannot take a performance fee and therefore important for you to be aquatinted with this term
