How to delete your Sky Trade account

Steps to delete your Sky Trade account in Profile, what must be done first, why deletion is irreversible and what happens to your data afterwards.

By Sky Trade editorial teamUpdated 3 min read

You can delete your Sky Trade account yourself in Profile. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone, so it only works once your real money is out and nothing is still in progress. Here is what to do first, how to delete, and what happens afterwards.

Before you delete: withdraw your money

The platform will not delete an account that still holds real funds or unfinished business. All of these must be true:

  • your real balance is zero;
  • you have no open real trades;
  • you have no pending withdrawal requests.

So the order is: wait for any open trades to expire, withdraw your balance, and wait until every withdrawal request is paid (or rejected and returned, then withdrawn again). Withdrawals are reviewed manually and there is no promised processing time — see how withdrawals work.

Amounts below the minimum withdrawal of $10 cannot be requested. If a small remainder is left, contact support before deleting so you know your options.

What about an active bonus?

With an active bonus you can withdraw your balance minus the bonus. To withdraw everything, you would have to give up the bonus first. Details in bonuses and promo codes.

The demo account

Your demo balance is virtual money. It does not need to be zero and it is not paid out.

How to delete the account

  1. Log in and open Profile.
  2. Find Delete account.
  3. Read the warning and enter your password to confirm.
  4. Confirm the deletion.

If one of the conditions above is not met, deletion is refused. If you see a "too many attempts" message, wait a while and try again later.

What happens after deletion

  • It is immediate and irreversible. There is no grace period and no way to restore the account, its history or its level.
  • You can no longer log in. Your sessions end.
  • Your email is freed. You can use the same email to register a new account later. A new account starts from scratch — no history, no level, no bonuses carried over.
  • Some records may be kept. Your account is closed and you can no longer log in; records required for accounting and security may be retained.

Alternatives to deleting

Deleting is the right choice if you are done with Sky Trade. If the real reason is something else, there may be a simpler fix:

  • You want to stop trading for a while. Withdraw your balance and simply stop logging in. Nothing obliges you to trade.
  • You are worried someone accessed your account. Reset your password and secure your email first — see account security.
  • You cannot log in. Deletion needs a login. Start with login problems.
  • You have a question about a payment. Ask in the live chat before deleting; after deletion you can no longer reach your account's history. See contact support.

Before deleting, save anything you might need later — for example, screenshots of your trade and transaction history.

Frequently asked questions

How do I delete my Sky Trade account?

Withdraw your real balance, make sure there are no open real trades or pending withdrawals, then go to Profile, choose Delete account and confirm with your password.

Can I restore a deleted Sky Trade account?

No. Deletion is immediate and irreversible, and there is no restore.

Why can't I delete my account?

Deletion requires a zero real balance, no open real trades and no pending withdrawals, plus your password. If one of these is not met, the request is refused.

Can I register again with the same email?

Yes. After deletion the email becomes free for a new registration, but the new account starts from scratch.

Is all my data erased when I delete my account?

Your account is closed and you can no longer log in. Records required for accounting and security may be retained.
