All positions opened on the same instrument within a 5-minute execution window are considered part of one single trade for risk calculations. Example A trader opens:
• Buy XAUUSD at 10:00:30
• Buy XAUUSD at 10:02:10
• Buy XAUUSD at 10:04:45
All three positions fall within the same 5-minute window and will be aggregated as one trade. If the combined loss of these positions exceeds the allowed single-trade loss limit, it will be treated as a hard breach, even though the entries were split. Positions opened after the 5-minute window are treated as a new trade and evaluated separately.
