To ensure platform integrity, protect trader performance, and mitigate exposure to excessive risk, OnlyFundsFX enforces a strict limit on the number of simultaneous open orders permitted for Algorithmic Affair accounts.
🔐 Maximum: 20 Simultaneous Open Orders
Traders using Algorithmic Affair accounts are allowed to hold a maximum of 20 open orders at any given time, across all instruments.
This includes:
Market orders currently active
Pending orders (buy/sell limit or stop orders)
Open trades across all symbols and asset classes
💡 Example:
If you have 12 live trades and 8 pending orders (e.g., buy stops or limit entries), you have reached the 20-order limit. Attempting to add more may result in rejection or a rule breach flag.
🎯 Why Is There a Limit?
The 20-order cap is in place to:
Objective | Explanation |
Reduce Overexposure | Prevents traders from opening too many correlated or opposing positions that could cause large, compounding losses. |
Ensure Platform Stability | Limits excessive trade flow and execution requests from EA scripts or high-speed bots. |
Support Realistic Risk Management | Encourages traders to focus on quality over quantity, aligning with institutional trading standards. |
This rule is especially important in volatile market conditions, where having too many open trades can rapidly magnify losses or execution delays.
⚠️ What Happens if You Violate the Limit?
Exceeding the 20 open order limit may result in:
Immediate trade rejections from the platform
Audit of trading activity by the compliance team
Denial of payout if the rule violation is associated with high-risk behavior
Suspension or reset of the account in repeated or deliberate cases
