Buy/Sell to close >5 lots breaks Comp Rules???

 

Hi,

My EA pyramids (x3) into a position with max lots per position, set to 5. When I Buy to close or Sell to close out all positions, I could be closing 15 lots max. I understand that there is a 5lot max per order in the comp, but closing out the positions in one order, would essentially be greater than the 5 lot limit. I am deciding to close out each position individually, in a group of 3 x 5 lots. I can't find any detail on this in the rules, Anyone have any advice ???????????

Cheers !!! 

 

You cannot violate the rules, because if your EA sends an order with a volume greater than 5 lots then your order will be simply rejected by the server. The same happens if your total lot size is already 15. Closing a position of 15 with 3 orders each 5 lots is completely okay! 

 
Set the tp and sl. If one is hit, all 15 lots will be closed.

 
If you want your EA to close 15 lots position not by TP or SL, you'll have to send 3 orders x 5 lots each.
