[Instant] Risk Management Rules (2% Rule & Gambling Policy)

The Instant Program enforces strict risk management rules to ensure consistent and professional trading behavior.

Updated over a week ago

2% Maximum Loss per Trade Idea

You may not risk more than 2% of the account balance per trade idea.

A trade idea includes:

  • Single trades

  • Multiple entries in the same direction

  • Scaling into a position based on one setup

Violation handling:

  • First breach: Any profit on the account is deducted

  • Second breach: The account is permanently terminated

Margin & Gambling Rule: Ensuring Responsible Trading Practices

You may not use more than 80% of available margin at any time.This rule is designed to prevent overleveraging and ensure that traders maintain a disciplined approach to risk management.

Criteria for Identifying Gambling Behavior:

  • Excessive Margin Usage: Using more than 80% of the available margin at any time.

  • Prohibited Strategies: Employing martingale or grid strategies, excessive lot sizing, or aggressive attempts to recover losses.

  • Overleveraging: Taking on positions that are disproportionately large relative to the account balance.

  • Portfolio Concentration: Holding many consecutive positions in a single instrument, leading to excessive risk.

  • Behavioral Patterns: Trading in a manner that resembles gambling rather than structured, repeatable risk management.

Violations of the gambling or margin rule may result in immediate account closure, even on a first offense.This is outlined in FunderPro’s Terms & Conditions, Section 13.1.2, which prohibits strategies relying on extreme market exposure and other high-risk gambling behaviors.
