# Trade Grouping/Stacking

At Pro-Tix, we require traders to maintain consistent risk exposure. To prevent
excessive risk through trade duplication, we enforce the following:



Any trades opened on the same symbol while two positions are already active will
be collectively considered stacked or grouped.



This means:

 * If you already have two open trades on a symbol (e.g. XAUUSD), opening an
   additional position on that same symbol — while the others remain open or
   within quick succession — will be treated as a stacked trade.

 * All trades that are simultaneously open on the same pair will be grouped and
   calculated as one larger position for the purpose of consistency evaluation.

 * This rule applies regardless of time between entries — it's based purely on
   simultaneous exposure.

Example

 * Trade 1: 1.5 lots on XAUUSD

 * Trade 2: 2.0 lots on XAUUSD

 * Trade 3: 1.5 lots on XAUUSD (opened while Trade 1 & 2 are still running)

→ These trades will be forfeited.
