📉 Trading Near Price Limits Policy

❗ What is a Price Limit?

Price limits are set by the exchange (like CME) and define the maximum the market can move up or down in a trading day, based on the previous day’s settlement price. These limits help control extreme volatility.

🚫 Our Rule: No Trading Within 2% of a Price Limit

To protect traders and the firm during volatile sessions, trading within 2% of the exchange’s price limit is strictly prohibited on all funded accounts. This includes Live Funded and Express Funded accounts.

If you are trading within this 2% buffer, your trade may be auto-liquidated without warning.

📘 Example:

If Nasdaq (NQ) settled yesterday at 15,000, and CME sets a:

• Limit Up: 16,050

• Limit Down: 13,950

Then:

• 2% of 15,000 = 300 points

• You cannot trade when price is:

  • Above 15,750

  • Below 14,250

🔍 Why This Matters

When price approaches a limit, the market can lock up, preventing traders from closing or managing positions. This rule:

• Prevents traders from being trapped in halted markets.

• Reduces risk of major loss during extreme volatility.

📌 How to Stay Compliant

• Always check the daily price limits here:
  👉 CME Group Price Limits

• Avoid trading near session highs/lows during news events or fast-moving markets.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Limits are different for each product and reset daily.

• It is your responsibility to know the price limit for the product you're trading.

• Violations may result in trade liquidation or account action.
