Trading rules

Max risk per asset

Maximum planned stop-loss risk per asset is 4% on Speedy, 3% on Flex, 5% on Pro and 2.5% on Instant Funding. Risk is measured per account and recalculated when the stop changes.

Risk is based on the loss at the planned stop loss. Combined planned risk from entries on the same asset is considered within each account. It is not aggregated across accounts for this particular percentage calculation. Separate hedging and capital-allocation restrictions still apply across accounts.

Risk is recalculated when the stop loss changes. Moving a stop farther away can increase risk and take the account over the limit.

Example

Using a $100,000 reference balance, $4,100 of planned stop-loss risk is 4.1%. That exceeds Speedy's 4% limit and is a hard breach. Splitting that risk into several entries on the same asset does not bypass the limit.

Risking slightly less is not a loophole

Consistently and deliberately risking just below the maximum to manipulate the rule is also penalised. A number below the cap does not override drawdown, martingale, hedging, capital-allocation or other conduct rules.

Enforcement

Exceeding the permitted risk causes a hard breach. Automatic enforcement applies to funded accounts; evaluation accounts remain subject to the rule and compliance review. All rules are checked again at payout review, even if no earlier alert appeared.

The stop-loss timing add-on changes when a stop must be attached; it does not remove the risk rules. Check your account's risk figures and contact support about the calculation for a specific position.
