How it works:
Every open position has a notional value (lot size × current market price).
All your open trades are added together to calculate your account’s total notional exposure.
This figure is compared against your account size to ensure you’re not using excessive leverage.
Why we have it: Some traders try to game the system by opening very large positions with extremely tight stops. While this lowers their “cash risk %”, it massively increases exposure. Statistically, this leads to more blown accounts and unfair conditions.
Benefits for you:
Encourages realistic trading behaviour that mirrors professional risk management.
Stops casino-style tactics that rely on luck rather than strategy.
Increases account longevity, so you can trade consistently and reach payouts.
Protects the funding model, which allows us to keep offering competitive conditions and fast payments.
What happens if I breach this rule?
Consistently breaching notional volume limits will be treated as a gambling violation. This can result in warnings or soft breaches if minor, but repeated or severe violations will be classed as a hard breach and may lead to account closure or progression rejection and payout reductions
