Martingale and layering are allowed per account (increasing position size after a loss, or opening multiple positions in the same direction at different price levels). Running these strategies across multiple accounts simultaneously is prohibited and counts as abusive behavior.
Shield Risk Protocol
Maximum Floating Loss Limits
- Instant Plus, 2-Step Plus: Maximum floating loss = 1% of account balance
Breach Consequences
- Breach it once = 80% profit split drops to 50%
- Breach it repeatedly = payout share reduces permanently to 40%, 30% and finally 20%
1-Step Max: maximum 1% combined open risk per symbol, not across the entire account. Positions on different symbols have separate 1% limits. During evaluation, symbol-risk, missing-stop-loss and maximum-position-risk violations share one counter: warnings on strikes 1 and 2; hard breach on strike 3. On funded accounts, the first violation is a hard breach. The purchased no-stop-loss add-on exception still applies.

Allowed between Lark Simulated Funded Accounts. Not allowed between Evaluation Accounts
