Max Exposure Rule

1 min. readlast update: 05.13.2026

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.
