The rules they do not put on the pricing page
48 terms across 15 firms that can cost you an account or a payout after you have paid — 28 of them close the account outright. Every one is quoted from the firm’s own pages, with a link to where we read it.
Re-entry
Rules that join separate trades together if you go back in too soon.
Re-entering within 10 minutes counts as the same trade
Close a losing trade and open another in the same direction on the same instrument within 10 minutes, and both count as ONE trade idea. The losses add up against your risk limit. Lose $700 on XAUUSD Buy, re-enter five minutes later and lose $500, and the firm assesses that as a single $1,200 loss. The window starts when the losing trade closes; open after 10 minutes and it is a separate idea. You cannot split a large risk into several small trades and argue each one was under the limit.
Doubling up after a loss triggers a risk review
Closing a position on an instrument at a realised loss and then opening a new position on the same instrument in the same direction with at least twice the volume of the losing trade is flagged as Realised-Loss Recovery Over-Sizing — behaviour Finotive describes as gambling-style recovery, which may trigger an internal Risk Review. The ordinary act of sizing up to win a loss back is what the rule is aimed at.
This list is only as complete as our reading. 15 of the firms we track have been through a rulebook pass; the rest are still to do, and a firm missing from here has not been cleared — it has not been checked. See every firm we track.
