Trading rules

Can I scale in or trade multiple accounts?

Yes. You can place several entries and repeat your own setup by hand on your own accounts. The adding-to-a-loser rule, the risk rules and your programme's restrictions still apply to every entry.

Adding to a losing position

On Speedy, Flex and Instant Funding, one of the applicable time or price conditions must be met. On forex and metals, that means less than two minutes OR less than five pips from the original entry. Either condition alone is enough; exactly two minutes or five pips does not pass that respective condition.

Index and crypto price distances differ. Read the instrument distances and worked examples.

Pro-only sequences are exempt from this restriction. Do not use a Pro account to add to losing positions across Speedy, Flex or Instant Funding accounts. All other trading rules still apply.

Several entries on the same idea

The number of entries alone does not make trading prohibited. The review considers spacing, direction, timing, purpose and total risk.

Grid structures, recovery sequences that raise risk after a loss and any attempt to get around exposure limits are not allowed. Grid trading · What counts as martingale?

The same setup on more than one account

Place every entry yourself on each account. Copiers, bridges and scripts that replicate trades automatically are prohibited. Trade coordination and copy trading

Across your accounts you must also:

  • follow the adding-to-a-loser rule above on the programmes it covers;
  • avoid opposing positions on the same instrument; and
  • avoid using a second account to carry exposure that would breach the first.
