Position Rule (Lot Structure)

Position Consistency Rule

To maintain disciplined risk management and consistent trading behavior, traders operating under the Pay Later Model Funded Account must follow the Position Consistency Rule across all trading instruments.

This rule is designed to ensure consistent position sizing and prevent excessive fluctuations in trade exposure between executions.

How the Rule Works

The first trade opened on the account establishes the initial lot size reference.

All subsequent trades across all trading instruments must remain within a ±1 lot range relative to the previous executed trade, regardless of the asset being traded.

The allowed lot size range is recalculated after every executed trade based on the most recent position size.

Allowed Lot Size Range

For every trade:

  • Minimum Lot Size: Previous trade lot size − 1 lot

  • Maximum Lot Size: Previous trade lot size + 1 lot

Example

If your first trade is:

  • 2 lots on EURUSD

Your next trade — including instruments such as XAUUSD, NASDAQ, GBPJPY, or any other asset — must remain between:

  • 1 and 3 lots

If the following trade is:

  • 3 lots on XAUUSD

Then the next trade across all instruments must remain between:

  • 2 and 4 lots

Each new trade resets the allowed lot size range based on the immediately preceding trade, regardless of the trading instrument used.

Important Notes

This rule applies from the first trade onward.

Lot parameters are evaluated trade by trade across all trading instruments, not on averages.

Trades executed outside the allowed lot range may be considered inconsistent with the firm’s risk management standards.

Violations of the Position Consistency Rule may result in payout adjustments, payout denial, account review, or other compliance actions within the Pay Later Model Funded Account environment.
