Stop Loss Requirement
Section: Core Rules in the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account
− Risk is determined by the maximum potential loss on a trade based on the stop loss placement.
− - 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% of the initial account balance at any time, the account will be terminated.
+ "Risk" refers to the maximum amount at stake on a trade or trade idea, determined by the stop-loss placement. A Stop Loss (SL) is mandatory on every trade.
+ - Only the risk taken matters, not the loss: If an SL is set within the 2% risk limit, any additional loss caused by price differences will not be considered in risk calculation.
+ - A floating or realized loss exceeding 2% on a trade or trade idea without an SL will be considered a breach.
- Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes a hard breach and result in account termination.
Once the stop loss requirement is met, risk is assessed based on the Single Trade Idea rule. This includes
- Layering / Splitting Positions
- 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
Layering/Splitting positions
If you open multiple positions on the same assets, same direction, with overlapping time, they are collectively treated as one single trade idea. This includes multiple entries opened and/or closed at different times.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such overlapping 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. View Example ▾

+ Risk per Trade Idea Assessment

The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule

+ 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.

+ 0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)

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.
Additional Guidelines
General risk management rules should always be followed, and traders should operate the account as if it were their own capital. Please refer to prohibited gambling behavior for further details.

Third-party Trade Copiers

- If you encounter issues, you must contact the Trade Copier or platform provider directly, as Hola Prime does not provide support for external services.
9. Can I choose to remain in a Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account instead of moving to a Live Account?
No. Once Hola Prime’s Risk Management Team approves you for a Live Account, remaining in a Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account is not an option. At that point, you advance into the Live Account as part of Hola Prime’s progression path for top-performing traders.
