Trading rules
Can I add to a losing position?
On Speedy, Flex and Instant Funding, adding to a losing position must meet either the time allowance or the instrument’s price-distance allowance. Pro-only sequences are exempt; the exemption does not extend to mixed-programme drawdown additions.

Time OR price: one condition is enough
A floating loss is a loss on a trade that is still open. On the covered programmes, an additional entry on the same asset while a position or sequence is losing must satisfy either the time allowance or the applicable price-distance allowance. Both do not need to pass.
- Time: enter less than two minutes after the original entry.
- Price on forex and metals: enter less than five pips from the original entry price.
- Price on indices: the stated distance allowance is ten points.
- Price on crypto: the stated limits are $10 or 0.15% of the entry price. Ask support which price-distance limit applies to your instrument before relying on that allowance.
For forex and metals, exactly two minutes does not pass the time condition, and exactly five pips does not pass the price condition. The other condition can still qualify the addition. For example, an entry after 90 seconds and eight pips away passes through time; an entry after three minutes and three pips away passes through price. An entry after three minutes and eight pips away passes neither.
Use the original entry as the reference. Check the instrument's pip or point specification; do not assume that one unit has the same price value on every instrument.
Dapat pasok ang isa sa dalawang condition na ito
Bukas pa at lugi ang unang posisyon sa bawat halimbawa sa ibaba.
Sa loob ng dalawang minuto
- Pagitan sa oras
- 1 minuto
- Pagitan sa presyo
- 10 pips
Pasok ang time condition. Hindi na kailangang nasa loob din ng limang pips ang presyo.
Sa loob ng limang pips
- Pagitan sa oras
- 10 minuto
- Pagitan sa presyo
- 3 pips
Pasok ang price condition. Puwedeng lumipas na ang higit sa dalawang minuto.
Labas sa parehong limit
- Pagitan sa oras
- 41 minuto
- Pagitan sa presyo
- 50 pips
Walang pasok na condition. Bawal ang pagdagdag habang lugi ang naunang trade.
Mga halimbawa lang ng scaling allowance, hindi approval ng strategy. Halimbawang forex. Sapat ang alinmang condition; hindi pasok sa condition na iyon ang eksaktong katumbas. Exempted ang mga sequence na Pro lang. Hindi puwedeng gamitin ang Pro para magdagdag sa posisyong lugi sa ibang programmes. Nalalapat pa rin ang ibang rules.
Which accounts are covered?
The adding-to-a-loser allowance applies to Speedy, Flex and Instant Funding, within an account and across your accounts.
Pro-only positions and sequences are exempt from this adding-in-drawdown restriction. Do not use a Pro account to add to a losing position across Speedy, Flex or Instant Funding accounts. The Pro exemption does not extend to those mixed-programme sequences.
Drawdown, maximum risk per asset, martingale, hedging, stop-loss and capital-allocation rules continue to apply to every programme.
Using another account does not bypass the rule
The same asset, existing floating loss and applicable entry allowance still matter across covered accounts. Calling an entry planned scaling does not make it compliant if it fails the allowance.
Enforcement
On funded accounts, prohibited adding in drawdown can cause an automatic account breach. The restriction also applies to evaluations on the covered programmes. All rules are checked again at payout review; no alert does not mean an entry is permitted.
