Account risks are highly concentrated in a short period of time

Profit and loss results are heavily dependent on a single direction or a single trading period

The trading path presents an "all or nothing" result-oriented characteristic

This type of transaction is closer to non-consistent speculative behavior (Gambling-like) Trading) rather than a long-term trading system.

EagleTrader’s monitoring dimensions of unilateral betting behavior

In order to limit irrational risk exposure and ensure that trading strategies are consistent and replicable, EagleTrader monitors the concentration of account positions from two dimensions: process fluctuation and result fluctuation.

(1) Process Fluctuation Monitoring

If the absolute value of the account's net value fluctuation exceeds 3% of the account's initial size within 1 hour (including floating profit and loss), it will be regarded as abnormal fluctuations in the net value.

The focus of this monitoring is to evaluate whether the account has suffered short-term risk exposure that does not match the account size during the transaction process, rather than using the final profit and loss results as the only basis for judgment.

(2) Result Fluctuation Monitoring

At the level of closed positions profit and loss, if any of the following situations occurs: the absolute value of the closed position profit and loss of a single order exceeds 2% of the initial account size; 2%. All will be defined as unilateral betting behavior.

This rule is used to avoid the "result-based game" model of achieving trading goals through concentrated profits and losses in a single transaction or a single day.

The core purpose of prohibiting unilateral betting

The core purpose of setting the above rules is not to restrict traders' choice of trading direction, but to:

Prevent the structural risks caused by excessive concentration of positions

Reduce the probability of irreversible damage to the account due to a single misjudgment

Ensure the stability and continuity of the trading strategy

In the proprietary trading system, it is more important to verify whether the trader has the ability to control risks, have clear paths, and have stable execution.

The difference between unilateral betting and directional trading

What needs to be distinguished is that prohibiting unilateral betting does not mean denying directional trading. Within the scope allowed by the rules, traders can still:

Form a clear directional preference according to the trading system

Trade in accordance with the market trend

Gradually accumulate profits through multiple transactions

The premise here is that positions and risks are always within a quantifiable and tolerable range.

Through dual monitoring of process fluctuations and result fluctuations, EagleTrader It does not restrict traders’ trading freedom, but helps traders establish and strengthen their ability to stably execute trading strategies in the long term under real risk control conditions through clear risk boundaries. This is also one of the important features that distinguishes the proprietary trading examination from ordinary real trading.
