How it works
From form to first trade, the whole journey
Six steps, most of them optional, none of them rushed. Most users are funded and trading within a day of registering.
The journey
What happens after you press the button
Step 01
Register in two minutes
Enter your name, email and phone in the sign-up form. Registration is free and carries no obligation to deposit.
The form asks for nothing sensitive, no card details, no passport at this stage. Once submitted, your details are encrypted and held under our GDPR-compliant Privacy Policy.
Step 02
Verification call on UK hours
Your dedicated account manager calls you between 8am and 6pm GMT to verify your identity and answer your questions.
The call usually takes ten minutes. We confirm who you are in line with UK anti-money-laundering rules, explain the platform, and never pressure you to deposit a penny.
Step 03
Fund from £250
Deposit by bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Funds land in segregated accounts with regulated partners.
The £250 minimum is deliberate: it is enough to trade meaningfully, but small enough that learning the platform never feels reckless. You can increase it whenever you are ready.
Step 04
Set your risk rules
Choose your asset classes, your position sizes and your daily limits before a single trade is placed.
Your dashboard lets you cap exposure per market and per day. The platform respects these limits automatically, it will not suggest trades outside the boundaries you set.
Step 05
Read the signals, make the call
Each signal arrives with a plain-English explanation, a suggested stop-loss and the worst case in pounds.
You are never auto-traded into anything. You read the reasoning, you weigh the downside, and you decide. That division of labour, machines analyse, humans decide, is the heart of Monstead.
Step 06
Review and withdraw anytime
Track your positions in one dashboard and withdraw your balance on request, processed in 1–3 working days.
Withdrawals follow standard identity checks and land within one to three working days. Your account manager keeps you updated at each step of the process.

Common questions
Still wondering about something?

02Which markets can I trade?
The platform covers cryptocurrencies, forex pairs, major stocks and commodities. You can focus on a single market or spread your activity across several, depending on your interests and risk appetite.
03How do I fund my account?
Once your account is verified, you can deposit by bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. The minimum deposit is £250 and your funds are held in segregated accounts with regulated partners.
04How do withdrawals work?
Withdrawal requests are processed within one to three working days. Our support team keeps you informed at every step, and standard identity checks apply in line with UK anti-money-laundering rules.

Opening an account and registering on the platform is free. There are no sign-up fees, no monthly charges and no hidden costs. Standard trading spreads and fees apply only when you trade.
