What a trading account means
A trading account is the account you create and maintain with Deriv or with a cTrader-compatible trading account provider. Chilla connects to that account so your chosen styles can run within your authorized boundaries. Beaverly is not the provider, bank, or custodian for the account.
Choose a connection path
| Path | Best fit | Supported asset or style categories |
|---|
| Deriv direct | Use this when you want a direct Deriv connection and Deriv is available for your region and account type. | Deriv-native categories such as Multipliers, Options, Accumulators, and similar Deriv-supported products. |
| cTrader | Use this when you already have, or want to create, an account with a trading account provider that provides cTrader access. | Categories can include Forex, Metals,and Synthetic Indices. Availability depends on the trading account provider and account you choose; not every cTrader trading account provider supports every asset category. |
If both paths are available to you, choose based on the trading account you are comfortable opening and maintaining. Chilla does not recommend a trading account provider, account type, asset, or style.
Connect an account
- Open Pick Connected Account. Use dashboard plus button or Connect Chilla.
- Select account path. Current paths are Deriv direct and cTrader.
- Authorize trading account login. Complete the Deriv or cTrader authorization flow. Chilla returns to dashboard after callback.
- Confirm connection state. Dashboard and account settings should show connected account details.

Connection states and what they mean

Deposit basics
- Deposit only through the trading account provider that holds the account.
- Deposit methods, minimums, currencies, timing, and fees depend on your trading account provider, trading account, region, payment channel, and account verification status.
- Typical deposit paths can include bank transfer, crypto, payment gateways, mobile money, cards, or local payment partners, depending on what your trading account supports where you live.
- Before committing to a deposit channel, check the expected withdrawal time and rules for that same channel because many trading account providers normally require withdrawals to go back through the original deposit channel.
- Chilla may show account readiness, but it does not move money into the account or advise how much to deposit.
For a focused checklist, see Depositing into connected accounts.
Withdrawal basics
- Withdrawals happen inside your trading account, using that account's own controls.
- Trading trading accounts commonly route withdrawals back through the same channel used for deposits, which is why choosing the right deposit channel is an important setup decision.
- Some users report crypto withdrawals as fast, but actual speed depends on the trading account provider, region, verification status, network conditions, and trading account review.
- Beaverly cannot approve, speed up, reverse, or guarantee trading account withdrawals.
- Provider verification, payment-method rules, open activity, currency conversion, or regional rules can affect withdrawal availability.
- If you plan to withdraw, review active tasks first and pause or stop anything you do not want running while you manage the account.
