Rule 2 & 3: Position Risk & Execution

[Rule 2] Risk Calculation Methods (SL Priority vs. ATR Protection) #

In principle, the calculation is based on the Stop Loss (SL) if it is set at the time of entry or within 30 seconds after entry.

[Rule 2A] Risk Based on Stop Loss (SL) #

This applies when a valid SL is set within 30 seconds of the entry.
Formula: Risk Amount = | Entry Price – SL Price | (in pips) × (Value per 1 pip) × FX

Important

• 30-Second Placement Buffer: To accommodate traders who prefer dragging their SL on the chart or find it difficult to input an SL simultaneously with their entry, we have introduced a 30-second grace period.
• Assessment Based on the “First SL”: If the SL is modified multiple times within this 30-second window, the system will use the “first recorded SL value” as the basis for the risk calculation. This prevents “gaming” the system by constantly moving the SL to avoid assessment.
• Invalid SL Policy: If the initial SL is placed at the “Breakeven price (Entry Price)” or “at a more favorable price,” it will be determined as a position where there is no intent to manage risk via an actual Stop Loss. In such cases, the trade is ineligible for SL-based evaluation (Rule 2A) and will instead be evaluated under the ATR-based risk rule (Rule 2B).
• Modifying SL: While you may move your SL after the 30-second window, the “widest risk setting” (the largest potential loss) recorded for that trade will be used for tier limit assessment.
• Slippage: If a market gap causes a loss greater than your set SL, the risk will still be recognized based on your intended SL price, and it will not be flagged as a violation.

[Rule 2B] Statistical Risk Based on ATR #

This applies if no SL is set at entry and no valid SL is confirmed within 30 seconds.

Formula: ATR Risk Amount = ATR(14) * 1.96 * Lots * Contract * FX

Important

This rule applies to trades without an SL (or without a valid SL within the 30-second window) and limits the lot size based on statistical maximum volatility. It serves as a safety net to protect both the trader and the platform from unexpected market crashes.

【Rule2C/2D】Correlation Buckets #

We apply a uniform Risk Limit (%) per tier to “Single Positions,” “Correlation Buckets,” and the “Total Portfolio.”

• Single Position Limit: No single trade may exceed this risk percentage.
• Bucket Limit: The total risk of correlated currency pairs (e.g., all USD pairs) must not exceed this percentage.
• Portfolio Limit: The combined risk of all open positions must not exceed this percentage.

About Correlation Buckets #

Correlated pairs are categorized into “Buckets.” Total risk is monitored per group.

Forex Buckets #

• Bucket 1 (USD Longs): EUR/USD, GBP/USD, NZD/USD, AUD/USD
• Bucket 2 (USD Shorts): USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD
• Bucket 10 (Precious Metals): XAU/USD, XAG/USD
• Bucket 13 (US Indices): US500, US30, US100
• Bucket 17 (Major Crypto): BTC/USD, ETH/USD

Opposite positions (hedging) within the same bucket offset each other.

Formula: | Total Buy Risk – Total Sell Risk |

For example, if your limit is 3.0% and you take a 3.0% risk on a single trade, you cannot open any other positions. Attempting to add more positions beyond the limit will result in an immediate violation.

[IMPORTANT] This Risk Limit is a “TOTAL” limit.

Rule3. Execution Standards: Scalping Restrictions (HFT/Scalping) #

This rule is designed to prevent HFT (High-Frequency Trading) and the exploitation of system latencies, ensuring a fair trading environment for all participants.

【Important】Trigger Criteria A violation occurs if the “ratio” of your trades meets either of the following conditions:

• Under 15-second duration: If trades closed in less than 15 seconds exceed 2% of your total trade count.

• Under 30-second duration: If trades closed in less than 30 seconds exceed 3% of your total trade count.

• Consequences: Any accounts found in violation will be subject to transition into “Restricted Professional Accounts” (Silver or Bronze Tiers).

• Intent: While occasional fast exits during manual trading are permitted, consistent and systematic ultra-short-term trading is strictly prohibited.

Violations & Remediation #

Violations of Rule 2 (Risk) or Rule 3 (Execution) will result in the following:

• 1. Asymmetric Nullification: Profits from violating trades are removed, while losses remain.
• 2. Status Change: Serious or repeated violations will result in a forced demotion to a lower tier (Silver/Bronze).
• 3. Profit Protection & Rule 1 Cure: If compliant profit remains after nullification but Rule 1 (Consistency) is in violation, the payout will be delayed. Traders must continue trading in their current account to satisfy Rule 1 requirements before a payout can be processed.

[WARNING]
Removing an SL at the moment of exit or intentionally manipulating SL levels to bypass risk limits is strictly monitored via MT5 logs. Such deceptive practices will lead to immediate account termination regardless of the number of strikes.
