Order scaling is when you build a position using multiple smaller trades instead of a single large one. This is allowed at TopTier as long as you follow these rules:
Lot Size Limits – Stay within the published limits for your account and instrument. Example: $100k accounts allow 3 lots per position on gold and 20 lots per instrument on currency pairs.
Timing Between Orders – We recommend spacing orders at least 1–2 minutes apart. Opening multiple trades in extremely short time periods can trigger our High-Frequency Trading (HFT) detection, even if you are manually scaling.
Scaling Out – You may also exit trades in smaller parts. The same timing guidelines apply.
⚠️ If multiple trades are placed simultaneously, they may be flagged as HFT, which could result in profit deductions or violations.

Key Takeaway:
Scaling is permitted ✅ but respect lot size limits and space orders 1–2 minutes apart to stay compliant.
