The Max Position Loss Rule refers to the maximum potential loss of all open positions on the same symbol. This is calculated using stop-loss levels when provided.  If no stop loss is set, the calculation is based on worst-case price exposure. All open positions on the same symbol are counted together as one trade. The maximum allowed risk is 1% of the starting balance for accounts from 5K up to 20K, and 0.5% of the starting balance for accounts from 50K up to 100K.  If the limit is exceeded, a Soft Breach applies. This means the position will be closed automatically, but the account remains active. The first two violations are treated as Soft Breaches. The third violation is treated as a Hard Breach, and the account will be closed.
