Each of these, done within 30 seconds of your last execution, is one violation:
- Opening a new position immediately after closing a trade
- Re-entering the same contract after an exit
- Flipping from long to short (or short to long)
- Rapid-fire scalping or excessive high-frequency executions
What you can still do
- Manage a position that is already open: adjust your stops
- Take partial profits on an open position
Managing an existing open position does not break the rule.
