Trade Layering
🔹 Standard Rule (Funded Stage)
Only 1 trade may be opened within a 5-minute window from the previous trade's opening time.
Opening a second trade within that 5-minute window is a violation resulting in account termination, even if the first trade was already closed.
The window is locked to the account's registration date and applies to all trades, regardless of when each is placed.
🔹 Instant Accounts — Additional Cap
Instant accounts have an additional restriction: a maximum of 2 concurrent layers is allowed.
Opening a 3rd layer at any time results in account failure, even if each entry was separated by 5 minutes or more.

- Instant Accounts: max 2 concurrent layers — opening a 3rd = account failure
- The 5-minute window is fixed to the account's registration date, not reset per trade
- Applies to all trades regardless of when they are placed
