Are rules checked on every price tick?

PropExecutor uses two kinds of checks, matched to how each rule works.

Tick-time rules

Evaluated on each new price for the accounts it affects:

• Daily loss limit.
• Maximum loss limit.
• Trailing drawdown.
• No weekend holding (positions past the Friday cutoff).
• Custom rules on equity metrics.

Order-time rules

Evaluated before an order is accepted:

• Allowed instruments.
• Maximum lot per order and total open lots.
• Maximum open positions.
• Maximum effective leverage and leverage by asset class.
• Maximum risk per trade and mandatory stop loss.
• Trading hours, no hedging and maximum orders per day.

Event-time rules

• Pass conditions: checked when trades close and on ticks.
• Minimum hold time: judged on closed trades.

The one clock-driven rule

The inactivity rule cannot be triggered by a price, because it fires on the absence of trading. It is checked by an hourly sweep, the only scheduled rule in the engine.

Why the split matters

Order-time rules prevent a violation before it happens, while tick-time rules catch the market moving an account through a limit. Together they cover both what the trader does and what the market does.
