What Is the Reverse Trading Rule on Instant Rapid?

The 15-minute cooldown before opening an opposite-direction position on the same pair after a trade closes at TP or SL.

You cannot open an opposite-direction position on the same pair within 15 minutes of a trade closing at TP or SL. Doing so is treated as Reverse Trading, a rule violation.

The rule

If you open a Buy position on a pair (e.g. Gold/XAUUSD) and that trade hits either your Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL), you must not open a Sell position on the same pair within the next 15 minutes.

Likewise, if you open a Sell position and it closes at TP or SL, you must not open a Buy position on the same pair within the next 15 minutes.

Example

10:00 AM

You open a Buy trade on Gold.

10:05 AM

The trade closes at TP or SL.

Until 10:20 AM

You cannot open a Sell trade on Gold.

Violation example

If you open a Sell trade at 10:12 AM (only 7 minutes after the Buy closed), it will be treated as Reverse Trading and may result in a rule violation.
