The Trading Interval Rule

At AFT Funded, we are committed to maintaining a fair and transparent trading environment. To uphold institutional-grade risk management standards and prevent exploitative multi-account practices, we enforce the Trading Interval Rule.

This policy is designed to prevent strategies such as price-transfer manipulation or risk cycling across multiple accounts to artificially balance profit and loss. We partner with traders who demonstrate genuine skill and disciplined execution across their managed capital.

What Is the Trading Interval Restriction?

If you manage multiple AFT Funded accounts, the following restrictions apply to the same trading symbol:

  1. Restriction on Open Losing Positions:
    If a position on a symbol (for example, EUR/USD) is open and in floating loss in one account, you cannot open a new position on that same symbol in any other account you own.
  2. One-Hour Cooling-Off Period:
    Once a losing position on a symbol is closed, you must wait at least one hour (60 minutes) from the close time before opening a new trade on that same symbol in any other account you own.

Why We Have This Rule

Our mission is to fund traders who treat trading as a professional business. Practices like distributing risk across accounts to bypass drawdown controls undermine sound risk management.

  • Preventing Manipulation: Success should come from strategy and analysis, not account-to-account rule circumvention.
  • Ensuring Fair Play: We maintain a level playing field by rewarding disciplined, professional behavior.

Conclusion

At AFT Funded, we prioritize capital preservation and long-term partnerships with disciplined traders. The Trading Interval Rule is a core part of sustaining a healthy and mutually beneficial relationship between traders and the firm.

By respecting these boundaries, you confirm your commitment to professional-grade risk and execution standards.

Key Note

  • This rule applies to all accounts owned or managed by the same individual.
  • Violations may result in trade invalidation or account review actions. Ensure your multi-account process accounts for the one-hour cooling-off window.
