A trader may not place or maintain any trade idea where the combined floating loss exceeds 3% of Start-of-Day Equity.
This limit applies to:
- Individual positions
- Layered entries
- Correlated instruments
- Aggregated directional exposure
The rule is evaluated at the level of the trade idea, not individual trades.
Examples of Aggregated Exposure
The following may all be considered one combined exposure:
- Multiple XAUUSD buy positions
- NAS100 buy + US30 buy + SPX500 buy
- EURUSD buy + GBPUSD buy during USD weakness
- BTCUSD long + ETHUSD long
Splitting exposure across correlated instruments does not reduce total measured risk.
Enforcement
A first violation may result in:
- Warning
- Manual review
- Risk monitoring escalation
Repeated violations may result in:
- Hard breach
- Trading restrictions
- Payout denial
- Account termination
This rule is enforced to promote disciplined risk management practices among traders and to help ensure prudent control of trading exposure.
