  Stop-Loss Usage
  A Stop-Loss order is a valuable risk management tool designed to limit potential losses by automatically closing a trade when the price reaches a predetermined level.
- On Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) accounts, the risk per trade idea should not exceed 1% of the initial account balance (for DX Futures) and 2% of the initial account balance (for Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts). A Stop Loss is mandatory for every trade. The absence of a Stop Loss will be considered as infinite risk by default.

A Stop Loss is mandatory on every trade. Trades without Stop Loss are considered to have infinite risk. If the floating (unrealized) loss on such a trade or trade idea exceeds 2%/1% (DX Futures) of the initial account balance at any time, the account will be terminated.
  Traders who implement stop losses tend to achieve greater long-term success compared to those who don’t. Therefore, we strongly recommend incorporating stop losses into your trading.

  Starting Balance = $50,000
  - Scenario: Your previous day’s end-of-day balance reaches $51,000 (New High Water Mark).
- - New Limit: Your max. Loss limit (trailing) moves up to $98,000 ($102,000$4,000).
+ - New Limit: Your max. Loss limit (trailing) moves up to $49,000 ($51,000$2,000).
  Important: If you then close a trade with a $500 loss and your balance drops to $50,500, your limit remains at $49,000 because the drawdown trails the peak (High Water Mark), not the current balance.
  Example 3: Locking at Initial Balance
  Starting Balance = $50,000
  - Scenario: Your previous day’s end-of-day balance reaches $52,000 (4% growth).
- - Locked Limit: Your max loss limit (trailing) is now locked at your starting balance of $100,000.
+ - Locked Limit: Your max loss limit (trailing) is now locked at your starting balance of $50,000.

+ Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
+ As all three positions were opened on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and were active simultaneously, they are classified as a single trade idea in accordance with the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
+ Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
+ 0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
+ Compliance Outcome:
+ The combined risk exposure for this trade idea exceeded the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000). Accordingly, this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
  The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
  If you close a position and then open a new one in the same direction on the same assets within 10 minutes, the system considers this a continuation of the same trade idea.
  Any continuous sequence or chain of such closely timed positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
  In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
- In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, their cumulative risk is tracked against the 2% limit.
- Important Note
- - Stop loss must be placed within 3 minutes of opening a position or prior to closing the position, whichever occurs earlier.
- - Breach of this rule will result in a hard breach and termination of the account.

+ Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
+ - Trade 2 was opened 31 minutes after Trade 1 had been closed. As the time gap exceeded 10 minutes, Trade 2 is classified as a new trade idea.
+ - Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 had been closed. As it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of the previous position being closed, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ - Trade 4 was opened 6 minutes after Trade 3 had been closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, it is also considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ Total Risk Exposure (Trade 2 + Trade 3 + Trade 4):
+ 1.0% + 1.5% + 0.8% = 3.3% ($3,300)
+ Compliance Outcome:
+ Although Trade 2 began a new trade idea, both Trade 3 and Trade 4 were opened within 10 minutes of the preceding trade being closed. Therefore, Trade 2, Trade 3, and Trade 4 are treated as a single trade idea.
+ Since the combined risk exposure for this trade idea is 3.3% ($3,300), exceeding the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000), this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
+ Layering Positions Followed by Re-entry Within 10 Minutes
+ This example demonstrates how overlapping positions and a subsequent re-entry within 10 minutes on the same asset and in the same direction are treated as a single trade idea.

+ Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
+ Trade 1 and Trade 2 overlapped in time on the same trading instrument and in the same direction. Therefore, they are treated as a single trade idea.
+ Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 was closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
+ 0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
+ Compliance Outcome:
+ Trade 1 and Trade 2 are considered a single trade idea due to their overlapping duration. Trade 3 is treated as a continuation of the same trade idea, as it was opened within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2. Accordingly, all three trades are assessed as one continuous trade idea.
+ The combined risk exposure across these trades was 2.1% ($2,100), exceeding the maximum permitted Risk per Trade Idea limit of 2% ($2,000). This constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
  Additional Guidelines

+ The combined risk exposure for this trade idea exceeded the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000). Accordingly, this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
  The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
  If you close a position and then open a new one in the same direction on the same assets within 10 minutes, the system considers this a continuation of the same trade idea.
  Any continuous sequence or chain of such closely timed positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
  In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
- In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit.
- Important Note
- - Stop loss must be placed within 3 minutes of opening a position or prior to closing the position, whichever occurs earlier.
- - Breach of this rule will result in a hard breach and termination of the account.

+ Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
+ - Trade 2 was opened 31 minutes after Trade 1 had been closed. As the time gap exceeded 10 minutes, Trade 2 is classified as a new trade idea.
+ - Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 had been closed. As it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of the previous position being closed, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ - Trade 4 was opened 6 minutes after Trade 3 had been closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, it is also considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ Total Risk Exposure (Trade 2 + Trade 3 + Trade 4):
+ 1.0% + 1.5% + 0.8% = 3.3% ($3,300)
+ Compliance Outcome:
+ Although Trade 2 began a new trade idea, both Trade 3 and Trade 4 were opened within 10 minutes of the preceding trade being closed. Therefore, Trade 2, Trade 3, and Trade 4 are treated as a single trade idea.
+ Since the combined risk exposure for this trade idea is 3.3% ($3,300), exceeding the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000), this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
+ Layering Positions Followed by Re-entry Within 10 Minutes
+ This example demonstrates how overlapping positions and a subsequent re-entry within 10 minutes on the same asset and in the same direction are treated as a single trade idea.

+ Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
+ Trade 1 and Trade 2 overlapped in time on the same trading instrument and in the same direction. Therefore, they are treated as a single trade idea.
+ Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 was closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
+ 0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
+ Compliance Outcome:
+ Trade 1 and Trade 2 are considered a single trade idea due to their overlapping duration. Trade 3 is treated as a continuation of the same trade idea, as it was opened within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2. Accordingly, all three trades are assessed as one continuous trade idea.
+ The combined risk exposure across these trades was 2.1% ($2,100), exceeding the maximum permitted Risk per Trade Idea limit of 2% ($2,000). This constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
