03

The two rules traders misread most.

These are explained with the math, not vague policy language.

Equity drawdown

Open trades count.

Daily loss and maximum loss are checked on equity. If equity crosses either limit, the account breaches even if the trade later recovers.

Balance+Open P/L=Equity
Max Profit Per Trade

It is based on withdrawal target.

No single trade can account for more than 25% of your withdrawal target. This is not 25% of account size. If one trade exceeds that line, the account can be breached.

Withdrawal targetx25%=single-trade limit
Example: $1,000 withdrawal target = $250 max from one trade.

Rules FAQ

Is drawdown based on balance or equity?

Drawdown is checked against account equity. Equity includes open trades, so floating P/L can affect breach status.

What exactly is the Max Profit Per Trade rule?

No single trade can account for more than 25% of your withdrawal target. It is not 25% of account size.

Can news and weekends be traded?

Yes. News trading and weekend holding are allowed. Drawdown limits still apply.

Which trading styles breach?

Under-60-second trades, martingale, grid, HFT, arbitrage abuse, same-pair hedging, and more than 3 same-direction positions are prohibited.

Where do I see active rules after purchase?

Cobra Terminal and the account dashboard show account context, status, and selected-path rule visibility.
