The Volume Consistency (Lot Size Consistency) rule is applied once a payout withdrawal request has been submitted, to ensure consistency within your trading. To satisfy the rule your average trade size is used to calculate your trading range. The range is determined by adding 100% to your average trade size to determine the maximum value and subtracting 75% to determine the minimum value.
Once a payout withdrawal request is submitted any trades breaching this rule will be considered a soft breach and we will remove the invalid trades while keeping account access.
Note: trades are aggregated when placed within a 30 second window into one position for both profit and lot consistency.
THIS MAY HELP YOU TO UNDERTAND IT BETTER:
We look at all the trades.
We calculate an average based on the following formulas:
Average = Summary of Lots ÷ Total number of trades
We use the average calculated and use it on this another formula in order to determine the Upper Band and the Lower Band.
Upper band = Average x 2
Lower band = Average x 0.25
All trades between the upper and lower bands are consistent trades that will be processed.
Any trade that falls outside the band limits will be eliminated.
Note: If you open a position on the DX Trade platform and partially close it, all partial closures will be grouped and counted as a single trade. For example, if you open a 1-lot position and close it partially twice, reducing it by 0.5 lots each time, it will still be counted as one single 1-lot trade for the purposes of the volume consistency rule.
