Maximum Risk Per Trade Idea (Funded Accounts Only)

Updated over 3 weeks ago

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.
