The Scaling System on our Legacy TTTDirect account limits the number of contracts that traders can open.
Traders must self-regulate and limit the number of contracts that they open. As traders profit and increase their account balance, they may open more positions to take advantage of their additional capital, although it is not mandatory.
Remember that we will use your current account balance, including open and closed intraday equity.
If you select too many contracts for your account size, violation of this rule will result in the following actions:
- First Warning: The account is blocked until the market closes and will be reactivated either after an hour of the market break or at the next market opening.
- Final Warning: The account is again blocked until the market closes and will be reactivated either after an hour of the market break or at the next market opening.
- Account Termination: The account will be deactivated permanently.
Kindly note that these warnings are not intended as punishments but rather as a reminder to always comply with the rules and ensure a fair and orderly market for all.
As traders grow and progress, you must remain aware of the current capital in your accounts and take utmost discretion so you are able to minimize your risk. In order to have some wiggle room with the account, traders should build up a profit margin that exceeds the contract size they wish to trade. These are the paths to follow when increasing contracts for each account type:
