Dear Atropi Clients,

Opening or increasing positions with exposure disproportionate to your account equity immediately before major economic announcements, in pursuit of substantial gains while risking losses beyond your account funds, is prohibited under Atropi’s risk management policy.

Abuse of leverage, exploitation of news-related price gaps, and reliance on Negative Balance Protection to transfer losses exceeding your account funds to the broker are not permitted. This protection does not authorize such risk-taking.

A profitable outcome does not make prohibited trading behaviour acceptable. Please ensure that your combined position exposure and overall risk remain proportionate to your account equity, particularly ahead of major economic announcements.

This notice does not impose a blanket ban on trading during economic announcements. Its purpose is to clarify the distinction between legitimate trading and prohibited practices, including abuse of leverage, news-related price gaps, and Negative Balance Protection. Trading during news events remains permitted, provided it complies with the applicable account terms and Atropi’s trading rules.
