What is a "Trade Idea"?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

A trade idea at FundingTraders is defined by trades that share the same symbol and direction, either opened simultaneously or reopened within a short window; trades on different symbols or in opposite directions are always treated as separate ideas.

What Qualifies as One Trade Idea

  • Trades in the same symbol and direction that are active at the same time are considered one trade idea.

  • If trades in the same symbol and direction are closed and reopened within 2 minutes, they also count as a single trade idea.

What Counts as Separate Trade Ideas

  • Trades on different symbols (e.g., GOLD and AUDUSD) are always counted as distinct trade ideas.

  • Trades taken in opposite directions (e.g., GOLD BUY and GOLD SELL) are treated as separate ideas, even if they are on the same symbol.

Examples

Single Trade Idea:

  • Open GOLD BUY

  • Open another GOLD BUY simultaneously or reopen shortly after closing

Multiple Trade Ideas:

  • Open GOLD BUY

  • Open AUDUSD BUY

  • Open GBPJPY SELL

Each of these is a distinct idea if opened on different symbols or in opposite directions.
