    Actions violating this policy, including the strategies listed above.

Traders are expected to manage trade sizes responsibly to minimize risk and control potential losses. If the margin level drops below 150%, the account may face a soft breach. Further decline could lead to the forced liquidation of positions to meet margin requirements.Position concentrationAvoid placing trades predominantly in one direction without proper market analysis. Repeated high-volume trades on the same asset and direction within a short timeframe may be considered speculative and flagged as prohibited activity.Excessive ActivityFrequent, impulsive trading in a short time frame is discouraged.
