Exposure & position control
How max exposure is tracked and what counts toward your live exposure across all open positions.
What is exposure?
Your current exposure is the total notional value of all your open positions across all markets. Each account has a maximum exposure cap that's hit before you can open more positions.
How it's calculated
For each open position: position_exposure = invested_amount × leverage (always × 1 since FairTicks is leverage-free).
Your currentExposure = sum of all open position exposures.
Worked example
Account: Sprint 50K · Max exposure: 70 units · Cards available: 70 NANO, 14 MICRO, 7 MINI
You open BTCUSDT LONG with 20 NANO. invested = $20. Exposure = 20.
You open ETHUSDT LONG with 30 NANO + 5 MICRO. invested = $32.50. Exposure = 50.
Total currentExposure = 70. You're at the cap.
Try opening any new position → ❌ "Max exposure exceeded"
Hedging is not allowed
You cannot have both LONG and SHORT positions on the same symbol simultaneously. Trying to do so returns: "You already have an open LONG position on BTCUSDT. Opening a SHORT position is not allowed."
