At FXTRADING.com, all five account types have a maximum order limit of 200 orders across all trading platforms, including MT4, MT5, Web Trader, and FXTRADING.com Trader. This means you can have a combined total of 200 open positions and pending orders at any given time.
Additionally, this limit is account-specific, meaning it applies to each individual account rather than being shared across multiple accounts. It also applies universally to all trading strategies, including high-frequency trading (HFT), ensuring consistent application for all users.
It is important to note that the 200-order limit is not time-based. Instead, it is a simultaneous cap, meaning it restricts the total number of orders that can exist at any given moment. There is no time frame within which the limit resets or changes—it remains constant as a real-time restriction.
Maximum Trade Size Per Order
The maximum trade size per order varies depending on the trading instrument. For example, forex pairs allow a maximum of 100 lots per order. This means that if you want to open a position of 20,000 lots in forex, you would theoretically need to place 200 separate orders, each with 100 lots.
This policy ensures efficient platform performance and risk management, providing a stable trading environment for all users.
While FXTRADING.com provides the flexibility to place up to 200 orders simultaneously, and each order can be filled with the maximum tradable volume (which varies by instrument - please refer to the Maximum Trade Size Limits article for details), it's crucial to consider several important factors:
By understanding these policies, traders can better plan their activities to avoid disruptions caused by reaching the order limit.
Key Considerations
Market Liquidity and Risk Exposure: When placing large volumes across multiple orders, you must account for:
Available market liquidity
Your overall risk exposure
Potential slippage that may occur
The best executable price available in the market
These factors can directly or indirectly impact your order execution quality and final trading costs. We recommend carefully evaluating these elements before placing large-volume orders to ensure optimal trading outcomes.
