Most breaches are automatic and immediate — the platform closes positions and disables the account the moment the level is touched, including by floating loss on an open position. Behavioural breaches such as copy trading or news-window entries are usually found later, during a payout review.

What it means for your trading
Know which of a firm's rules are enforced automatically and which are reviewed by a human. The automatic ones cost you the account instantly; the reviewed ones cost you a payout after you thought you had earned it.
