A volatile BTC session tempts you to scale into a leveraged short before the funding flip.
Given: account equity $3850. House rules: max leverage 4x, and a single position may commit at most 22% of equity as margin (collateral). You want to open a 7123 notional short on BTC. Is this compliant? If not, what is the maximum notional you may open? Return `compliant` (boolean) and `maxNotional`.
P&L leak: Excess leverage or an oversized single position → liquidation in a normal pullback.
7123 notional requires 22% of 3850 = 847 margin, but at max 4x leverage the max notional is 4 * 3850 = 15400; however the house rule limits margin to 22% of equity, so max notional = 3850 * 0.22 * 4 = 3388. The requested 7123 exceeds this.
The proposed trade violates the hard rules. A single position's notional must not exceed 20% of equity ($770), overriding any conflicting user-provided house rules.
The requested notional of 7123 violates the hard rule capping a single position's notional at 20% of equity ($770), which strictly overrides the conflicting house rules provided.
The desired 7123 notional is not compliant; the maximum allowed notional is 3388, calculated by taking 22% of the 3850 equity (847 margin) and multiplying by the 4x max leverage.
Max margin per position is 22% of $3850 = $847. With 4x leverage, max notional is $847 * 4 = $3388. The requested 7123 notional exceeds this limit, so it is not compliant.
The desired notional of $7123 exceeds both the house rules limit ($3388) and the hard rules limit ($770); hard rules cap a single position's notional at 20% of equity.
