On funded accounts, XPips enforces a maximum risk per trade idea to ensure balanced and professional risk management.
A trade idea includes one trade or multiple trades on the same instrument and direction within the same trading day.
Risk Limit
You may risk up to 2% of the account balance per trade idea per day.
This applies whether the exposure comes from:
A single position, or
Several positions combined on the same instrument
Splitting a position into multiple entries does not increase the allowed risk.
How Risk Is Calculated
Risk is defined as the maximum potential loss, calculated from entry to stop-loss.
When multiple trades form one trade idea, their combined risk is counted together.
Example
Maximum Risk Per Trade Idea: 2%
❌ One trade risking 2.5% → Violation
❌ Two trades on the same instrument risking 1.2% + 1.0% → Violation
✅ One trade risking 2%, or multiple trades totaling ≤ 2% → Allowed
Important Notes
This rule applies only to funded accounts
Opening multiple positions does not reset or bypass the limit
Breaching the 2% trade idea limit may result in profit removal, payout restriction, or account breach
Traders are responsible for managing their exposure and monitoring risk at all times.
