Max Lot Exposure Rule Examples ($100k funded account)
Non-violation Examples
Example 1: By initiating 5 trades on US30, each containing 1 lot (totaling 5 lots), you remain compliant with the maximum lot exposure guidelines.
Example 2: By placing a single trade of 5 lots on US30, you adhere to the maximum lot exposure restrictions.
Example 3: By opening 3 trades on US30, each with 1 lot (3 lots in total), and subsequently opening 2 additional trades on US100, each with 1 lot (2 lots in total), you remain within the maximum lot exposure limits, as the combined lot exposure for both instruments does not exceed the 5-lot maximum.
Example 4: In a 100k Challenge, you may open trades with maximum exposures of 5 lots for GBPUSD, 5 lots for EURUSD, 5 lots for US30, and 5 lots for Gold. By utilizing the full exposure allowance for each group, you cannot open any further positions.
Violation Examples
Example 1: By opening 2 trades on GER30, each containing 3 lots (6 lots in total), you will exceed the maximum lot exposure allowed, resulting in a violation.
Example 2: Opening 3 trades on NAS100, each with 1 lot (3 lots in total), and then opening an additional 3 trades on US30, each with 2 lots (6 lots in total), will lead to a violation, as the US30 exposure surpasses the 5-lot maximum.
Example 3: Initiating 3 trades for NAS100, each with 1 lot (3 lots in total), and subsequently opening 3 more trades on US30, each with 1 lot (3 lots in total), will result in a violation, as the combined lot exposure for both instruments exceeds the 5-lot maximum.
If the maximum lot exposure rule is violated at any time, profits will be deducted, and a warning violation will be issued. On the second violation, the account will be breached, and any profits will be forfeited. Deductions of profits will occur on the next business day following the violation. If any deductions result in the breach of the daily or maximum loss limit, the trader will be held responsible for the violation.
