Layering Rule: Maximum 2 Positions Per Pair

Layering Rule

Layering means opening more than one position on the same trading pair. To keep risk under control, you may have a maximum of 2 open positions on any single pair at the same time.

What is allowed

- Up to 2 open positions on the same pair at the same time (for example, 2 trades on EURUSD).

- Positions on different pairs are counted separately. Having 2 trades on EURUSD and 2 trades on XAUUSD is within the rule.

- Once one of your positions on a pair is closed, you may open another on that pair.

What is a breach

- Opening a 3rd position on the same pair while 2 positions on that pair are still open.

- This includes any combination of buy and sell positions. For example, 1 buy and 2 sells on the same pair is a breach.

Consequence

Exceeding 2 open positions on a single pair is a hard breach. The account will be breached and closed immediately, regardless of whether the trades were in profit or loss.

Tips to avoid this mistake

- Check your open trades on a pair before placing a new order.

- Pending orders that trigger also count as open positions. Make sure a triggered pending order will not take you above 2.

- If you use an EA or trade copier, confirm it is limited to 2 positions per pair.

Quick Summary

Limit: maximum 2 open positions per pair at any one time.

Applies to: buys and sells combined.
