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.
