At Xpert Funding, we reward skill, strategy, and consistency not volume.
To ensure fair trading conditions and protect the integrity of our systems, we enforce an Excessive Open Positions Rule, which limits traders to a maximum of 150 trades per calendar month.
This limit applies across all account types including 1-Step, 2-Step, Swing, and Instant Funding during both Challenge and Funded phases.
Why the Limit Exists
The purpose of this rule is not to restrict you, but to encourage quality over quantity.
Overtrading often leads to impulsive decisions, emotional execution, and inconsistent results.
This rule helps traders focus on building measured, professional strategies just like in institutional environments.
The Three Core Reasons for This Rule
Preventing Overtrading
High-frequency or impulsive trading erodes performance and increases emotional fatigue. Limiting open trades ensures every position has a valid setup, stop-loss, and purpose. This reinforces risk management habits aligned with professional trading desks.
💬 Remember: successful trading is about probability and consistency, not speed or volume.
Stopping Bot & Automation Abuse
Limiting open positions helps us detect unauthorized Expert Advisors (EAs), bots, or latency-driven strategies that can distort performance.
Our system automatically flags accounts that show non-human trading patterns, such as repetitive micro-scalps or tick exploitation.
Xpert Funding allows trade managers and risk tools, but fully automated systems that open or close positions on your behalf are prohibited.
Ensuring Fairness Across All Traders
By capping trade volume, all traders whether manual or algorithmic operate on equal footing. This guarantees that evaluation outcomes reflect true skill, not system speed or automation advantage.
How It Works
Monthly Reset: The 150-trade cap resets at the start of each new calendar month.
Per Account Basis: The limit applies separately to each account phase.
Both Challenge & Funded: The rule remains active once you pass your evaluation.
Includes Pending Orders: Every executed or triggered order counts toward your monthly total, regardless of outcome or duration.
Consequences of Violation
If a trader exceeds the 100-trade limit within a calendar month, the account will face:
Immediate restriction or termination (depending on frequency and intent).
Loss of simulated profits accumulated beyond the violation date.
No eligibility for payout if breaches occur during the Funded phase.
For repeated offenses, Xpert Funding reserves the right to permanently suspend future account access.
Best Practices to Stay Compliant
Focus on high-probability setups instead of scalping.
Use a trade journal or tracking tool to monitor monthly trade count.
Avoid stacking small partials unnecessarily these each count as separate trades.
Plan entries and exits clearly to reduce noise and trade frequency.
