02Risk and suitability

Read this before the pricing

We would rather you decide against Alchemist today than be surprised by a losing month later.

Minimum account capital

650 EUR/USD

Test on a free demo account first, for as long as you want.

Required leverage

1:200

Offered by most MT4 and MT5 brokers.

Average drawdown

1–3 %

Average, not maximum

This is the AVERAGE drawdown, not the maximum.

Stop-out limit per currency pair

approx. 7.3 %

Introduced with the May 2025 revision.

Averages describe calm periods. Individual declines can and do run deeper than the average, and the per-pair limit caps what one pair costs the account, not what the account as a whole can lose.

This is not for you if

  • you need the money back within the next few months
  • a run of losing weeks would push you into switching the software off
  • you cannot fund the account with at least 650 EUR/USD, which the strategy needs to spread risk across five pairs
  • you expect a fixed monthly income from trading
  • you are looking for a guaranteed return, no such thing exists here

03Trading rules

The rules behind every position

Strategies, risk management and the tools it runs on. These are the published parameters of the system, not projections.

Strategies

Five markets, one fixed rule set

Alchemist trades EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD and AUDCAD. Each pair runs its own rule set, so the account does not depend on a single market.

Risk management

Limits defined before the trade, not after

Every position carries its exit levels from the start, and each pair has its own stop-out limit introduced in the May 2025 revision. [METHOD_CONFIRMED]

Stop-out per pair
Approximately 7.3 percent
Average drawdown
Approximately 1 to 3 percent
Diversification
Five pairs that do not move identically
Minimum deposit

Tools

Your broker, your platform, your control

The software runs on your own MetaTrader account. You keep custody of the money and you can switch it off at any time.

Platforms
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5
Broker
Any broker you choose, the account stays yours
Hosting
Optional VPS for 24 hour uptime
Profit split
None, you keep the full result
Stopping
Remove the software and it stops placing orders

Backtested results are hypothetical. Currency trading carries substantial risk and most retail accounts lose money when trading leveraged products.

Each pair runs with its own limit, so one bad market cannot decide the outcome of the whole account.

No discretion in the moment

The rules do not change because a headline appears. They change only when a revision is published, as in May 2025.

Each market on its own

One pair can be flat while another carries the account. That is the point of trading five of them.

10Objections

Questions people actually ask

Starting with the uncomfortable one.

Yes. Alchemist trades a leveraged currency account and every trade can end in a loss. The site states an average drawdown of 1 to 3 percent, which describes calm periods, not the worst case. Since the May 2025 revision each currency pair carries its own stop-out limit of approximately 7.3 percent, which caps what a single pair can cost the account. It does not cap what the account as a whole can lose.

Support, honestly labelled
