At WSFunded, we focus on preserving the integrity and fairness of our trading platform. As a reminder, WSFunded’s philosophy centers on helping traders hone their skills, turning them into consistent and successful operators by replicating real market conditions. In other words, part of our mission at WSFunded is to ensure that those who thrive on our platform also succeed in a genuine market environment.
With this objective in mind, we cannot tolerate risky trading approaches that could likely lead to substantial losses in real market situations. To support these goals, we will implement the following safe trading strategies:
Violations we will monitor:
Account Churning: Acquiring the maximum number of evaluation accounts and attempting to complete them continuously, sacrificing certain accounts as necessary.
Gambling/Betting Behavior: Engaging in trades that resemble a significant bet or gamble without a clear plan or strategy.
Trade Stacking: Opening consecutive large positions on a single instrument to bypass risk limits.
Group Hedging: Executing opposing positions on the platform as a risk-hedging strategy.
Overleveraging: Exceeding appropriate leverage levels for trading. On Funded accounts, the maximum lot exposure listed below applies to each account size.
The maximum lot exposure is the combined total of allowed lots/position size at any time in the account.
For example, with a maximum exposure of 40 lots for a 100k account, you have the flexibility to open a single 40-lot trade or split it into two trades of 20 lots each. However, you may not execute two trades of 25 lots each, as this would add up to 50 lots, exceeding the set maximum limit of 40 lots.
If trades are closed, you are allowed to open new trades on the same day. The maximum lot exposure limit applies only to open trades; it is NOT a daily limit.
If this limit is exceeded, all profits from trades that were opened and exceeded the limit will be deducted from the account.
Account Size | Maximum Lots |
$5k | No limit |
$10k | No limit |
$25k | 10 lots |
$50k | 20 lots |
$100k | 40 lots |
A trader cannot risk more than 50% of the daily drawdown on a single trading idea; for the risk team to accurately assess their risk, the SL (Stop Loss) must be added to the trade within a maximum of two minutes after the trade is opened. In other words:
If a client wants to make a purchase on XAUUSD, risking 3% with 30 lots, this constitutes a single trading idea. If these 30 lots are divided into 3 positions of 10 lots each, the risk per individual trade will be under 3%. However, for the trading idea as a whole, the risk will exceed 3%, so this practice will be considered gambling as it violates the 50% rule.
Traders suspected of engaging in these practices may face restrictions such as reduced leverage, limits on the number of daily trades, caps on daily lot sizes, or lower daily loss limits to control risk per trade. A maximum risk rule of 1% could also be applied, and they may even be banned from the company. Our goal as evaluators is to help you improve as a trader and risk manager while benefiting from the trade flow you generate. This evaluation aims to gather the best possible data to monetize it efficiently, strengthening our stability and the industry as a whole.
