Quick answer: "Reverse arbitrage" is deliberately structuring a trade or layered sequence to consume your full daily loss allowance. It's prohibited on every program.
Maximum allowable daily exposure
Program | Limit |
Speedy | 4% |
Flex | 3% |
Pro | 5% |
Instant Funding | 2.5% |
On Instant Funding the 2.5% exposure cap sits deliberately inside the 3% daily drawdown limit — the exposure you may structure is smaller than the loss that breaches you.
Example of a breach (Speedy, $100,000)
A single EURUSD position sized so that its stop loss, if hit, costs $3,950 — 3.95% against a 4% allowance. The stop sits deliberately just inside the limit.
Staying under the limit means it's fine, doesn't it? No. The review considers whether risk was structured to consume the full allowance, not only whether the final number stayed below it.
What may be reviewed: planned exposure, combined open risk, layered trades, equity movement, repeated behaviour.
Possible outcome: account termination or other enforcement.
