When several traders feed one account, each of them can be inside their own limits while the account as a whole is not. 4X Solutions trading rooms were built to close that gap: every limit is checked against the combined position of the whole team, before a trade is allowed through.
This feature began with a money manager running 20 traders into a single account. Each trader worked to their own limits, and each stayed inside them. But when they all sold the same instrument at the same time, the account ended up carrying an exposure nobody had agreed to.
Per-trader limits cannot see that. Only a limit on the account, measured across everyone feeding it, can.
4X Solutions looks at leverage as a simple ratio: how much is this account being asked to hold, compared with what is in it? On a $100,000 account, a limit of 1 allows $100,000 of an instrument to be open at one time. A limit of 2 allows $200,000.
You set that ratio at three levels, and each one is checked against the aggregate of every trader feeding the account.
A $100,000 account follows 20 traders, with a per-symbol limit of 2. Six traders sell EURUSD, and their allocations put $30,000 each on the account: $180,000 in total, inside the limit.
A seventh trader sells EURUSD. That trade would take the account to $210,000, over the $200,000 the limit allows, so it is not copied. The other six positions are untouched, every other instrument keeps trading, and the refusal is recorded with its reason and the time.
Put together, these limits let a money manager make a specific promise to a client and have the platform hold the account to it: a drawdown limit of 25%, for example, and no more than an agreed leverage on any one instrument at any time.
Each trader still has their own allocation and loss budget. The account limits sit above them, so the mandate does not depend on twenty people each doing the right thing.
No copier setting can guarantee a loss limit. Gaps, slippage and broker execution can produce a larger loss than the threshold.
Each trade is checked against the account's per-symbol and total leverage limits before it is copied. Once the combined position reaches the limit, further trades on that symbol are not copied.
As the ratio of position size to account size. On a $100,000 account, a limit of 1 allows $100,000 of an instrument to be open at one time.
Both. Each trader has their own allocation and loss budget, and the account's leverage, position-count and drawdown limits apply to the aggregate of every trader feeding it.
