Equity includes open trades
Long positions mark to bid and shorts to ask. The high-water mark can rise on floating profit. The trailing floor never moves down and persists through UTC daily resets.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Know exactly where the limits are.
Published controls, visible allowances, and no hidden consistency condition on Zero accounts.
One order, several checks
Instrument leverage, available margin, mandatory planned stop risk, total portfolio stop risk, and correlated instrument groups are checked together. Splitting positions does not reset aggregate allowances.
Protective exits stay protective
A genuine original stop-loss exit is exempt from the 5-second discretionary hold. Modified stops and short-duration profit-taking are classified for review; a fast loss is not automatically evidence of abuse.
Protection that stays active
A separate protection service checks open accounts. New orders pause if its heartbeat or market prices are unavailable. Protective levels and account limits are checked against server records.
