What is considered a single trade setup?

Similar trades placed in the same direction on the same instrument will be considered part of the same trade setup, even if they are opened at different time intervals.
​

For example, multiple SELL positions on XAUUSD will be treated as related trades and their combined risk will be considered together.
​

Additionally, if you close a trade and reopen a position in the same direction on the same instrument within 2 minutes of closing the previous trade, it will also be considered part of the same trade setup.

For example:

You open a Sell trade on XAUUSD and close it with a loss of -$100.

Within 2 minutes, you open another Sell trade on XAUUSD and close it with a loss of -$150.

Since both trades are similar and executed within a short interval, they will be treated as a single trade setup. The total loss for the setup would therefore be -$250.
