No. The rule is not intended to force traders to take opposite-direction trades, counter-trend trades, or low-quality trades just to balance a dashboard metric.
No trader should open false, unnecessary, or strategy-breaking trades just to change a number. The correct approach is to keep trading normally and compliantly, wait for valid setups, manage exposure responsibly, and avoid requesting payout while a recoverable metric is active if it applies to your account stage.
Finotive is reviewing feedback on this rule to ensure genuine trend-following is not treated the same as abnormal one-sided risk behaviour.
