Hidden Conditions & Conflict Detection

The “easy-to-miss” engine: buried FAQ rules that only appear at funded payout review.

Pricing page says “News Trading Allowed”. FAQ says “2-min buffer on funded”. Marketing vs Terms conflict. Our engine flags visibility (0=prominent → 4=terms-only) × impact (0–100). Score ≥140 = Easy-to-Miss. 5 high-risk on Goat alone.

Deep Dive

Why this rule exists

How traders get caught

Risk floors are enforced tick by tick against live equity including spread and swaps. Server-time resets and intraday peaks shrink usable room far below what the headline percent suggests.

How to stay safe

Check the Source Inspector for the exact FAQ excerpt, test your equity distance in the simulator, and keep a 20% buffer above the nearest floor.

The Formula

How it is calculated

Easy-to-Miss Risk = Visibility (0–4) × Impact (0–100) → ≥140 = Flag

Real Dollar Example

Goat Instant $5K: Pricing shows “4% daily”, FAQ hides “$50 max daily (1%)” — $50 loss on $5K = breach vs expected $200 room.
