Max Lot Size Policy
Maximum Lot Sizes Policy at ALPICAP
In our ongoing commitment to promote responsible trading and ensure the stability of our trading environment, ALPICAP is implementing a new overleveraging policy. This update aims to provide clearer guidelines for traders and enhance risk management practices across our platform.
Maximum Lot Sizes Policy
The new policy introduces fixed maximum lot sizes based on account size and asset class. Below are the details of the maximum lot sizes allowed for commodities and metals, indices, cryptocurrencies, and forex:
| Account Size | Commodities and Metals | Indices (1 contract size) | Crypto | Forex |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
$15,000 |
0.60 lots |
5.00 lots |
0.15 lots |

Symbol-Level Application
The lot size limits for each asset class doesn’t apply on a symbol level. For example, with a $15,000 account, a trader can place a maximum of 0.60 lots on commodity or metal. This means a trader can’t place 0.60 lots on Gold and still place another 0.60 lots on Silver.
Please note that the policy applies to all symbols.
Implications of the New Rule
The new maximum lot size rule is designed to provide traders with a clearer understanding of their risk limits, making it easier to adhere to prudent risk management practices. By setting fixed maximum lot sizes, ALPICAP aims to:
- Mitigate Overleveraging Risks: Prevent traders from taking excessive risks that could lead to significant losses.
- Enhance Trading Stability: Foster a more stable trading environment by encouraging responsible trading behaviors.
- Simplify Risk Management: Provide clear and straightforward guidelines for traders to follow, reducing ambiguity and enhancing compliance.
ALPICAP is committed to fostering a responsible and stable trading community. The implementation of the maximum lot size rule is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
