# PrimeTrades

> Institutional MetaTrader 5 (MT5) trade copying engine and dual-rail settlement platform.

PrimeTrades is a non-custodial copy trading and managed execution platform connecting retail and institutional forex traders directly to proprietary Master trading terminals. Trades are mirrored in sub-second latency to client MetaTrader 5 (MT5) accounts across supported broker infrastructure with automated, proportional equity lot sizing.

## Key Features & Architecture

- **Non-Custodial Architecture**: Client funds remain strictly in their personal broker trading account. PrimeTrades never takes custody of client deposit capital for copy trading. Users can disconnect their MT5 account or withdraw funds directly from their broker at any time with 1 click.
- **Trading Infrastructure**: Compatible with MetaTrader 5 (MT5) accounts, including Standard, Pro, Raw Spread, Zero, Standard Cent, and Demo/Trial accounts across live server clusters.
- **AES-256 Encryption**: Trading credentials (MT5 account number and trading password) are encrypted via AES-256-GCM before database storage and used strictly for local trade replication—never for funds withdrawal or unauthorized operations.
- **Dual-Rail Settlement System (PrimePay)**:
  - **Mobile Money**: Native, instant USSD push deposit and payout rails supporting MTN and Airtel Money. Deposits trigger an immediate PIN prompt on the user's handset with automatic balance crediting.
  - **Cryptocurrency (USDT TRC-20)**: Global automated blockchain listener on TRON network. Dynamic QR codes and dedicated deposit addresses with automated transaction verification and fast withdrawals.
- **Fair 50/50 Profit Share Model**: Zero subscription fees, zero deposit fees, and zero management fees. PrimeTrades operates on a high-water mark performance model: users only pay a 50% performance fee on net trading profits generated by the copier. If a session is flat or unprofitable, the user pays $0.00.
