Stop-loss requirement

Every open position on a funded or Instant account must have a stop-loss attached. If a position is left without one you receive a warning and have a 2-minute grace period to add a stop-loss. If it is still missing after that, the account is breached.

Evaluation Phase 1 and Phase 2 are not affected by this rule, but using a stop-loss is always recommended.
