Can I breach an account manually?
Quick answer
Yes. Firms can mark an account as breached from the admin panel, with a reason, for violations found outside the automatic rule checks, such as a prohibited strategy discovered in review. Manual breaches are recorded separately from automatic ones and do not replace the rule engine's checks.
Detailed answer
Most breaches happen automatically, on the tick that crosses a limit. A manual breach is for everything else.
When firms use it
- Copy trading or account sharing confirmed in a review.
- Cross-account hedging.
- Exploiting a pricing error.
- A breach of your terms that no automatic rule covers.
How it works
- Open the account in the admin panel.
- Choose to breach it and enter the reason.
- The account's status changes, and the reason is stored with the time.
What it does not do
It does not change the account's rule version or touch the automatic rule checks, which keep running on every tick for every other account.
Evidence
Record the evidence before breaching: the trades involved, timestamps and the clause of your terms. The account's reports and rule flags provide most of it.
Communicating it
Tell the trader which term was broken and why, with the evidence. In reports, a manual breach appears with its own text rather than as a rule code.
