Thin Markets
A thin market is one whose trailing 24-hour volume is low, and the 5% cap is a share of that volume rather than of your account. The per-account tables and the worked arithmetic are in Max Open Size and Market Limits.
Thin is not the same as restricted — though FPT may restrict a market whose volume has collapsed far enough that the 5% cap allows almost nothing. A market can also be absent because it was never in the covered set.
Splitting one intended exposure across duplicate profiles or coordinated accounts to route around the cap is prohibited — see Prohibited Trading Conduct.
Restricted Market States
A restriction follows one of the market states in Market and Position Rules — or maintenance and platform work, or integrity concerns about activity in that market.
| Situation | Effect |
|---|---|
| New orders in that market | Blocked |
| Existing positions in it | Remain and continue to be recorded |
| Managing an existing position | Depends on the restriction |
| Other markets and your objectives | Unaffected |
| Your account status | Unaffected. A restriction is not a breach and not a strike |
Some restrictions clear in minutes, a disputed resolution lasts until the outcome settles, and a market permanently below workable volume may leave the covered set. FPT does not commit to restoring any particular market.
Resolution and Settlement
FPT reads price, volume, metadata and published resolutions from outside sources. A delayed resolution keeps the market out of the tradeable set and your position unsettled; FPT does not settle against a provisional figure it expects to be revised. A corrected resolution may be applied to the position or account record. If a disputed resolution affects a payout you have requested, expect review rather than automatic processing.
An unsettled position has produced no realized P&L, so it counts toward nothing except your end-of-day drawdown snapshot: not a qualifying day, not cycle profit, and not payout eligibility.
Because the drawdown floor only ever moves upward, a downward correction narrows your remaining room rather than lowering the floor beneath you. A correction can also arrive after a day has closed, so a day's recorded profit is not final.
If a market is missing, its size looks wrong, or a position has stayed unsettled too long, email support@fundedpredictiontrader.com with the market name and time.
