Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you have a question about your account, our technology or our platforms, here’s where you’ll find the answer.

Active Trading

Active trading refers to conducting securities transactions based on short-term movements in price. While there is no precise time measurement for active trading, traders using an active trading strategy typically hold positions for only a short period of time, which can range from a few hours (i.e., day trading) to a few days (i.e., swing trading) or longer (i.e., position trading). Mondeum Pro is designed with features and functionality that support active trading as opposed to long-term investing.
All day traders can safely be considered active traders, but not all active traders are day traders. While both focus on short-term opportunities, day traders typically open and close their positions intraday, whereas active traders can hold their positions for multiple days or longer.

Onboarding

To open a Mondeum Pro account, you must submit a valid form of government-issued photo identification and proof of address. Additional documentation may be requested as part of our due diligence process.
You can submit a signed driver’s license, passport or state identification card that is more than 60 days from expiring.
You can submit a utility bill, credit card statement, bank statement or mortgage statement that is not more than three months old.
The application review process typically takes 1-2 business days if all the documents submitted meet Mondeum’s requirements. Look out for emails from us and respond to them as quickly as you can, as missing information can cause delays in opening your account.

No, Mondeum does not share in clients’ profits or losses caused by trading platform technical issues. Sterling Trader® Pro and DAS Trader Pro are trading platforms owned by third-party software providers.
The max intraday buying power permitted by Mondeum and its clearing firm is 4:1 for PDT Margin accounts and 2:1 for Margin accounts. The max pre- and post-market buying power, also referred to as overnight buying power, is 2:1 for both PDT Margin accounts and Margin accounts. Buying power is based on an account’s daily starting equity value. By trading on margin, you are essentially taking a loan against your equity. This means that as your account equity changes, the amount that you can borrow also changes. Available buying power may be adjusted depending on market conditions.

Yes, traders are prohibited from trading over-the-counter (OTC) stocks (e.g., pink sheets and bulletin boards) and low average daily volume stocks (i.e., securities trading under 100,000 shares per day using a rolling 30-day average).

Resetting your trading platform password must be done over the phone and requires security verification. Please contact our client services team by calling 1-833-781-6338 or submit a request on the client dashboard and they will call you.

This message is usually associated with an internet issue. Please ensure that you have a stable internet connection. The platform will continue to try to reconnect until a connection is secured. There are 2 ISPs that clients can use to connect to the platform. 

Steps:

    • #1. Click “Setup”, then “Network”.

    • #3. Click “Move Up”.
    • #4. Click “Commit”.

 

If you have changed the order of the network and still have network issues and an outage has not been reported, then it means the issue is your internet connection. Please note that it is important for you to maintain both networks in your settings at all times for redundancy.
