Hard breach traps
- Equity drawdown: open trades (floating P/L) can breach before you close.
- News window: trades around high-impact events can be restricted (buffer: 2m before / 2m after).
- Weekend holding not allowed: ensure all positions are flat before market close.
- Restricted strategies: some firms flag martingale/grid/HFT/latency patterns even without a breach.
