To promote responsible risk management and structured trade execution within the Pay Later Model Funded Account, all positions must have both a Stop Loss and a Take Profit placed within the first 3 minutes after the trade is opened.
This rule is designed to ensure that traders operate with predefined risk parameters and clear trade management planning rather than engaging in uncontrolled or emotionally driven execution.
TOP ONE Funding expects traders operating under the Pay Later Model Funded Account to approach the markets with professional risk management standards, including defined loss limits and profit objectives on every trade.
How the Rule Works
- A valid Stop Loss and Take Profit must be added to every position within 3 minutes of execution
- Both protective levels must remain properly configured while the trade is active
- This rule applies across all trading instruments and market conditions
Example
If a trade is opened at:
- 10:00:00 AM EST
The trader must place both the Stop Loss and Take Profit no later than:
- 10:03:00 AM EST
Failure to configure either protective level within the permitted timeframe may result in the trade being considered non-compliant with the firm's execution standards.
Important Notes
This rule applies to all trading activity within the Pay Later Model Funded Account environment.
Trades executed without properly defined risk management parameters may be considered excessively risky or inconsistent with the firm's professional trading standards.
Repeated violations of the Mandatory Stop Loss & Take Profit Rule may result in payout adjustments, payout denial, account review, or other compliance actions.
