    • LEVEL 2 RESTRICTIONS – Repeated Violation
      • Users who violate the Quantitative Rules for Futures Trading for 10 times on the same symbol within 24 hours will be restricted from opening or increasing positions on the corresponding symbol for the next 2 hours. The restrictions will be lifted automatically after 2 hours. Please note that these restrictions do not prevent users from placing reduce-only orders or from trading other symbols on which they do not violate the Rules.
    • LEVEL 3 RESTRICTIONS – Account Violation
      • Users that have 10 or more symbols restricted at the same time will trigger an Account Level restriction. Users will be restricted from opening or increasing positions on ALL SYMBOLS for the next 2 hours. The restrictions will be lifted automatically after 2 hours. Users can only place Reduce Only orders during this period.
