What is the Risk Management group?

Overview

The Risk Management Group is a temporary classification applied to traders who have been identified as using prohibited or high-risk trading strategies.

This status may apply to current and future Hantec Trader accounts (excluding Challenge accounts).

What can lead to being placed in this group?

Traders may be added to the Risk Management Group if they engage in the following behaviors:

Scalping (ultra short-term trading):
Trades held for less than 3 minutes aiming to profit from minor price movements.

All-or-Nothing Trading:
Consistently risking more than 3% trades, this includes both open exposure and closed trades (1% limit applies to Instant Lite accounts)

Account Rolling:
Repeatedly passing and failing multiple accounts within a short period of time.
(Full account history is taken into consideration)

What changes apply in the Risk Management Group?

If placed in this group, leverage on funded accounts is reduced as follows:

• Forex (FX): 1:30
• Indices: 1:5
• Commodities: 1:5
• Metals: 1:3
• Cryptocurrencies: 1:1

➡️ These restrictions do not apply to Challenge accounts.

Can I return to the normal group?

Yes. Traders may request a review to be removed from the Risk Management Group after:

• Completing 3 successful payouts on a single account

Once eligible, traders can contact support to initiate the review process.

Key Points

• This is a temporary measure to encourage proper risk management
• It applies due to high-risk or prohibited trading behavior
• Reduced leverage is the main restriction
• Normal status can be restored after consistent performance
