What is considered over-leveraging?

Over-leveraging occurs when excessive leverage reduces the account's Margin Level to 150% or lower. This practice significantly heightens the risk of substantial losses, particularly during market volatility.

Over-leveraging typically involves taking on a trade or multiple positions on a single symbol or instrument that exceeds the leverage limits set by SFX Funded. This excessive risk can push the account into a Margin Call.

Engaging in over-leveraging can lead to rapid account depletion and is generally prohibited to ensure responsible risk management.

Violating this rule may result in a payout denial, reset to Phase 1, or a hard breach.
