What causes a warning instead of an immediate breach?

Softer issues that result in a warning instead of a breach.

Warnings may be issued for softer, non-numeric issues, such as:

• Minor rule misunderstandings

• Failure to follow operational instructions

• Suspicious but inconclusive trading activity

• Repeated poor risk management

• Behavior inconsistent with professional trading standards

Holding a position overnight on a program that doesn't allow it also falls into this category: it results in a warning (soft breach), not an immediate loss of the account.
