Adding Positions to Losing Trades Rule

Updated this week

Rule on Adding Positions to Losing Trades

One of the main reasons traders blow their accounts is continuing to hold onto losing trades after making poor decisions, instead of cutting the loss early. Often, traders make this worse by adding more entries to trades that are already in a floating loss.

To prevent rapid account loss and rule violations, we prohibit traders from doubling their position size on trades that are already in loss.
Specifically, if a trade is in a floating loss, you cannot add new entries that would increase the total lot size by more than 2x.

Example:
If you have an open position of 3 lots that is in loss, you may not increase your total position size beyond 5.99 lots.

This rule is designed to protect you from blowing your account on a single bad trade.

Accounts violating this rule will be disqualified and terminated.
