Trading specification
Maximum leverage 1:15. Planned entry-to-stop risk 1.00% of initial balance per order. Minimum quantity step 100 underlying units. Bid/ask-aware USD simulation. GBPUSD and EURUSD share a candidate correlated forex risk group. Opposing directions do not automatically remove aggregate risk.
Execution and data
Charts use mid prices for context; buys execute at ask and sells at bid under the disclosed slippage model. Synthetic prices are explicitly labelled. A verified provider mapping, commercial data licence, trading hours, and contract specification are required for live data.
A disciplined order
A protective stop is required. Daily equity and intraday trailing controls apply to floating results. The candidate 5-second discretionary hold treats genuine protective stops separately.
