Trading rules
How does the risk-to-reward policy work?
Negative risk to reward uses the furthest stop distance. On all account types, 60% or more negative-risk-to-reward positions causes payout rejection and an account breach, regardless of the group’s P&L.
How risk to reward is measured
A position is negative risk-to-reward when its risk distance is greater than its reward distance.
- Risk: distance from entry to the furthest stop loss used at any point while the position was open.
- Reward: distance from entry to the close price.
The furthest stop is always used. Moving it to breakeven, tightening it or closing at a later stop does not erase the earlier risk distance. A full stop-out is not negative risk-to-reward when its closing distance equals the furthest stop distance.
For example, a EURUSD entry at 1.0850, furthest stop at 1.0750 and close at 1.0870 has 100 pips risk against 20 pips reward.
Partial closes and missing stops
Partial closes are permitted when they are not used to manipulate this assessment. Profits and losses from partial closes, winners and losers are included in the group's combined P&L. Using a partial close and moving the stop to the current market price to force a stop-profit result and manipulate the rule is penalised.
Trades that never had a stop are excluded from this assessment but breach the separate stop-loss requirement. For the treatment of a specific set of partial exits, contact support with the position and execution records.
The 60% count threshold
On every account type, if 60% or more of the assessed positions are negative risk-to-reward, the payout is rejected and the account is breached regardless of the group's P&L. Exactly 60% is included.
For example, 12 out of 20 assessed positions is 60%; 13 out of 20 is 65%. Both reach the breach threshold. The counts in these examples are already classified for review.
When fewer than 60% are negative risk to reward
On Speedy, Flex and Instant Funding, any positive combined net result from the group is deducted after the split, from the payout share.
On Pro, a positive group result smaller than the payout share is deducted from that share. A result equal to or greater than the share causes payout rejection and a reset to starting balance. A negative group result below the count threshold does not create a deduction under this treatment.
These outcomes do not remove other trading rules or payout conditions.
