Rules and Mechanics

These posts document the clauses that end or preserve a prop firm account: loss limits, drawdown design, news windows, holding rules and the consistency clause. Each one names the exact rule, cites the firm that enforces it, and states Ordane's own position by clause number. Written for a trader placing trades inside a rulebook, not around one.
