Trading rules

Capital allocation manipulation

You may not spread, transfer or offset risk across several Traderscale accounts to get around the limits that apply to a single account.

What this covers

  • Opening the same or a correlated instrument on another account to recover losses from the first.
  • Setting up one account to absorb a loss while another is positioned to benefit.
  • Using several accounts to build exposure that would not be allowed on one.

Example of a breach

TimeAccountTrade
14:00Account ABuy XAUUSD 3.0 lots. Floating loss of $2,000, close to the daily limit
14:15Account BBuy XAUUSD 3.0 lots, same direction

Account A cannot carry more exposure without breaching, so the position continues on Account B. Combined exposure is 6.0 lots, a size that would have breached on one account.

What is reviewed

Open-position profit and loss, account equity, entry timing, symbol, direction, combined size and activity on your other accounts.

Possible outcome

Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach.
