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
| Time | Account | Trade |
|---|---|---|
| 14:00 | Account A | Buy XAUUSD 3.0 lots. Floating loss of $2,000, close to the daily limit |
| 14:15 | Account B | Buy 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.
