Help CenterTo promote responsible risk management, traders must not place or maintain any trade idea where the combined floating loss exceeds 3% of Equity in a trade idea.
For Instant accounts, the Max Exposure limit is 1% of Equity. Breaching the Max Exposure limit on Instant accounts may result in a hard breach.
This rule is designed to prevent excessive exposure on a single trade idea, even when that exposure is split across multiple positions or correlated instruments.
What Does This Rule Apply To?
The Max Exposure Rule applies to:
- Individual positions
- Layered entries
- Correlated instruments
- Aggregated directional exposure
The rule is evaluated at the level of the trade idea, not only individual trades. It is important that a trader understand that splitting exposure across correlated instruments does not reduce the total measured risk.
Examples of Aggregated Exposure
The following may be considered one combined trade idea:
- Multiple XAUUSD buy positions
- NAS100 buy + US30 buy + SPX500 buy
- EURUSD buy + GBPUSD buy
- BTCUSD long + ETHUSD long
Soft and Hard Breach System
To ensure fair compliance with the rule and to avoid misunderstandings, OneFunded applies a Soft and Hard Breach system.
For all accounts (except Instant), the first violations of the Max Exposure Rule will be treated as warnings before stronger enforcement action is taken.
The breach structure is as follows:
- 1st breach on the account: Soft breach — warning only
- 2nd breach on the account: Soft breach — warning only
- 3rd breach on the account: Final warning
After repeated breaches, the account may be subject to further Risk & Compliance review and stronger enforcement action.
Please note that this structure is intended to give traders a fair opportunity to understand and correct their risk management behaviour. However, serious or repeated misuse of exposure may result in account termination.
OneFunded reserves the right to review the full trading context when assessing any breach, including position size, floating loss, account equity, correlated exposure, and whether the behaviour appears intentional or repeated.

This rule is enforced to promote disciplined risk management practices among traders and to help ensure prudent control of trading exposure.
