# Update a trading rule

> Update an existing trading rule. **Admin only**.

Only provide fields you want to change. Use `null` to clear optional numeric fields.

**Example - Update limits:**
```bash
curl -X PATCH "https://api.example.com/platform/v1/organization/trading-rules/{ruleId}" \
  -H "X-API-Key: hp_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxLoss": 6000, "dailyLoss": 3000}'
```

**Example - Clear a field:**
```bash
curl -X PATCH ".../{ruleId}" \
  -d '{"consistency": null}'
```

**Example - Set a contract scaling plan:**
```bash
curl -X PATCH ".../{ruleId}" \
  -d '{"scalingPlan": {"basis": "balance", "tiers": [{"profit": 0, "maxContracts": 1}, {"profit": 1000, "maxContracts": 2}, {"profit": 3000, "maxContracts": 5.5}]}}'
```

**Example - Change the micro conversion ratio (5 micros = 1 mini):**
```bash
curl -X PATCH ".../{ruleId}" \
  -d '{"microConversionRatio": 5}'
```

**Micro contract conversion (`microConversionRatio`):**

`maxContracts` (and scaling-plan tiers) are denominated in mini-equivalent units. Micro contracts (MES, MNQ, MGC, ...) are converted using the rule set's `microConversionRatio` — how many micros count as **1 unit** toward the limit:

| Ratio | `maxContracts: 10` allows |
|-------|---------------------------|
| `10` (default, CME notional ratio) | 10 minis or 100 micros, or any equivalent mix |
| `5` | 10 minis or 50 micros |
| `1` | 10 contracts total — micros count the same as minis |

E-mini and full-size contracts always count as 1 unit each; the ratio only affects micros. Omit the field (or PATCH it to `null`) to use the default 10:1 conversion. Different plans can use different ratios by pointing them at different rule sets. Enforcement is account-wide and real-time in the trade engine.

Example — a plan where 5 micros equal 1 mini:
```json
{ "maxContracts": 10, "microConversionRatio": 5 }
```

**Scaling plans (`scalingPlan`):**

## Position limits: pick the right field

`maxContracts` counts **engine units** and a rule is not tied to a market, so
one unit is one futures contract but **0.001 BTC** on the Binance perpetual. The
same number therefore means different things depending on which account the rule
backs. Use `maxPositionByMarket` for anything that is not plain futures:

```json
{
  "name": "50K BTC Perp",
  "maxLoss": 2000,
  "dailyLoss": 1000,
  "maxPositionByMarket": { "BINANCE": 0.5 }
}
```

That is **half a Bitcoin** — no conversion, no engine units. Rejections quote it
back the same way:

> Order would exceed the BINANCE position limit on this account: 0.600 BTC
> requested, limit 0.500 BTC.

| Field | Counts in | Scope | Use for |
|---|---|---|---|
| `maxPositionByMarket` | the market's own unit (BTC) | that market only | crypto, and any fractional contract |
| `maxContracts` | mini-equivalents (micros via `microConversionRatio`) | all instruments | futures |

A market named in `maxPositionByMarket` is **not** also gated by
`maxContracts` — a market gets one limit or the other. Send `null` to clear
every per-market limit and put all markets back under `maxContracts`.

Instead of a flat `maxContracts` limit, you can define profit-based tiers that grow the trader's position size as they make profit:

```json
{
  "scalingPlan": {
    "basis": "balance",
    "tiers": [
      { "profit": 0,    "maxContracts": 1 },
      { "profit": 1000, "maxContracts": 2 },
      { "profit": 3000, "maxContracts": 5.5 }
    ]
  }
}
```

- `profit` is in dollars relative to the account's starting balance. The first tier must be `0` — it defines the starting limit.
- Alternatively, tiers can use absolute `balance` thresholds instead of `profit` (all tiers must use the same key). The first tier defines the starting limit — set its threshold at (or below) the account size:

```json
{
  "tiers": [
    { "balance": 50000,  "maxContracts": 1 },
    { "balance": 55000,  "maxContracts": 2 },
    { "balance": 60000,  "maxContracts": 5.5 }
  ]
}
```

  Note: balance thresholds tie the rule to one account size — a `55000` tier means something very different on a 25K vs 100K account. Profit-based tiers are portable across account sizes; prefer them unless all accounts on this rule share one size.
- `maxContracts` is in **mini-equivalent** units and supports **0.1 steps**. Micros count as 1/`microConversionRatio` of a mini (default 10), so `5.5` allows 5 minis or 55 micros (e.g. 5 ES or 55 MES) at the default ratio.
- `basis` controls when tiers activate/deactivate:
  | Value | Behavior |
  |-------|----------|
  | `balance` | Measured against current balance — limits scale back down if the balance drops below a threshold (default) |
  | `high_water_mark` | Measured against the best balance reached — tiers unlock permanently |
- When `scalingPlan` is set it **overrides** `maxContracts`. Remove it (`"scalingPlan": null` on PATCH) to fall back to the flat limit.
- Enforced in real time at order placement by the trade engine.

**Consistency rule (`consistency` + related fields):**

Caps how much of a trader's profit may come from a single day. The daily cap is:

```text
daily_cap = round(base × consistency%, 2)
          + starting_balance × consistencyTolerancePct%
          + consistencyLeniency
```

A day whose net PnL **reaches or exceeds** the cap fails the rule (the boundary is inclusive). The formula is selected automatically by account type:

- **Evaluation accounts** — the rule gates *passing*: base defaults to max(profitTarget, totalPnl), and the trader also needs at least `consistencyMinDays` profitable days (default: ceil(100/consistency), so 50% → 2 days). Reaching the profit target with over-concentrated gains does NOT fail the account — it simply stays active until gains are spread out, and the account's `completionPendingReason` explains exactly why.
- **Sim-funded accounts** — the rule gates *payouts*: base is the profit in the current payout cycle (since the last payout with `consistencyReset`).

**Enforcement is opt-in per rule set** (`consistencyEnforced`, default false — the historical behavior where the consistency % was informational only). Existing accounts are unaffected until you enable it.

Example — MFFU-style template: `{ "consistency": 50, "consistencyEnforced": true, "consistencyTolerancePct": 0.2 }` on evaluation rules, and `{ "consistency": 50, "consistencyEnforced": true, "consistencyLeniency": 40 }` on Builder sim-funded rules.

**Sim-funded accounts — limits are optional per rule set:**

Every trading limit on a rule set applies to `sim_funded` accounts exactly like evaluations **when set**, and is disabled when `0`/omitted — so you choose per template who enforces funded limits:

- **Platform enforces** (recommended): attach a rule set with real values, e.g. `{ "dailyLoss": 1500, "maxLoss": 2500, "maxContracts": 5, "consistency": 50, "consistencyEnforced": true, "consistencyLeniency": 40, "maxPayouts": 5, "payoutMllLockOffset": 100 }` — we enforce limits live, gate payouts on consistency, and fire the webhooks.
- **You enforce**: attach a permissive rule set (limits `0`) and run your own logic; we still execute trades and payouts.

`profitTarget` never completes a sim-funded account — funded accounts withdraw, they don't "pass" — so it is safe to reuse an eval-style rule set on funded accounts.


**Warning:** Changing rules affects how accounts using these rules are evaluated. Changes apply to future evaluations, not retroactively.

**Error Codes:**
| Code | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `RULE_NOT_FOUND` | No rule exists with this ID |
| `RULE_NOT_IN_ORG` | Rule belongs to a different organization |
| `RULE_NAME_EXISTS` | Another rule already has this name |
| `NO_FIELDS_TO_UPDATE` | No valid fields provided |
| `ADMIN_REQUIRED` | Only admins can update rules |



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json patch /v1/organization/trading-rules/{ruleId}
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: Hyperprop Platform API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    REST API for the Hyperprop Trading Platform — provision evaluation and
    funded trading accounts, manage traders and plans, react to account
    lifecycle events via signed webhooks, and reconcile billing. Built for prop
    firms integrating from their own backend.


    ## Authentication


    Two methods, depending on who is calling:


    ### Bearer Token (JWT) — users & dashboard

    Most endpoints accept a JWT via `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Used by the
    dashboard and client applications.


    ### API Key — organizations (prop firms)

    Organization endpoints also accept `X-API-Key: hp_live_...` for programmatic
    access from your backend — no browser session needed. Keys are managed by
    organization admins in the dashboard; each key carries permissions (`read`,
    `write`, `admin`) and can be rotated or revoked at any time. Keys are stored
    hashed (SHA-256) — the raw key is shown once at creation. Endpoints that
    create or modify data require `write` or `admin`.


    ## Quick Start


    ```bash

    # 1. List your trading plans (grab a tradingPlanId)

    curl "https://api.hyperprop.com/platform/v1/organization/trading-plans" \
      -H "X-API-Key: hp_live_your_key_here"

    # 2. Create a trading account for a trader (by Hyperprop user ID or email)

    curl -X POST
    "https://api.hyperprop.com/platform/v1/organization/trading-accounts" \
      -H "X-API-Key: hp_live_your_key_here" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"type": "evaluation", "tradingPlanId": "<uuid>", "email": "trader@example.com"}'
    ```


    ## Response Envelope & Error Handling


    **Success** responses always wrap the payload:


    ```json

    { "success": true, "data": { ... }, "message": "optional human-readable
    note" }

    ```


    **Errors** — including request-validation failures, auth failures, and
    errors

    proxied from the trade engine — always return this single uniform shape with
    a

    machine-readable `code` you can switch on:


    ```json

    {
      "success": false,
      "statusCode": 404,
      "error": "Not Found",
      "message": "No Hyperprop user found with that email. The trader must have a Hyperprop account before an account can be created for them.",
      "code": "TRADER_NOT_FOUND"
    }

    ```


    Parse rule of thumb: check `success`; on `false`, switch on `code` (never on
    `message` text — messages can be reworded). Some errors carry additional
    structured context alongside these fields (e.g. payout rejections include a
    `consistency` block).


    Common codes: `VALIDATION_ERROR` (malformed payload/params), `UNAUTHORIZED`,
    `INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS` / `NOT_ADMIN` (key lacks write/admin),
    `*_NOT_FOUND` (missing resource), `*_NOT_IN_ORG` (resource belongs to
    another organization), `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_IN_PROGRESS` (duplicate in flight),
    `ENGINE_UNREACHABLE` (trade engine down — retry with the same idempotency
    key). Endpoint-specific codes (e.g. payout `OPEN_EXPOSURE`,
    `CONSISTENCY_BLOCKED`) are documented on each endpoint.


    ## Idempotency


    **Every mutating endpoint (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) honors idempotency keys
    uniformly.** Send an `Idempotency-Key` header (the `X-Idempotency-Key`
    spelling is accepted as an alias) to retry any write safely without creating
    duplicates.


    How it works:


    - The key is scoped to your organization + the request path. The first
    request with a given key executes normally and its response is cached for
    **24 hours**.

    - A replay (same key, same path) within 24 hours returns the cached response
    with an `Idempotency-Replayed: true` response header — the operation is
    **not** executed again.

    - If a request with the same key is still in flight, the duplicate gets `409
    IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_IN_PROGRESS` — back off and retry; you'll then receive the
    cached response.

    - 5xx responses are **not** cached, so retrying after a server error
    re-executes the request (that's what you want). 2xx-4xx responses are cached
    — if a request failed validation and you fix the payload, use a **fresh
    key**.

    - Keys are free-form strings up to 255 characters. Use something that
    identifies the operation on your side, e.g. `order-8814-attempt-1`.


    ```bash

    curl -X POST
    "https://api.hyperprop.com/platform/v1/organization/trading-accounts" \
      -H "X-API-Key: hp_live_your_key_here" \
      -H "Idempotency-Key: order-8814-attempt-1" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"type": "evaluation", "tradingPlanId": "...", "traderId": "..."}'
    ```


    This applies to account creation, account PATCH (status, currentBalance,
    metadata), rules, plans, lockouts, payouts, team, webhooks — every write on
    the platform API. Payouts additionally forward the key to the trade engine
    for engine-level double-withdrawal protection.


    ## Pagination & Sorting


    List endpoints support both styles:


    - **Cursor (recommended):** pass `?cursor=` from the previous response's
    `pagination.nextCursor`. Stable under concurrent writes.

    - **Offset:** `?limit=&offset=` with `pagination.total` / `hasMore` in the
    response.


    Sorting uses `?sort=field:direction` (e.g. `?sort=created_at:asc`); allowed
    fields are listed per endpoint. Default: `created_at:desc`.


    ## Custom Metadata


    Trading accounts, purchases, traders, plans, and rules all carry a free-form
    `metadata` JSON object. Use it to store your own references — payment IDs,
    campaign tags, payout records, internal notes. Hyperprop stores and returns
    it verbatim (and lets you filter list endpoints by it, e.g.
    `?metadata=stripePaymentId:pi_123`) but never interprets it. Update
    endpoints support `mergeMetadata: true` for shallow (top-level) merges
    instead of wholesale replacement.


    ## Webhooks


    Subscribe to account lifecycle events (`account.created`,
    `account.status_changed`, `account.updated`, `account.passed`,
    `account.failed`, and more) via the Webhooks endpoints. Deliveries are
    HMAC-SHA256 signed — verify `X-Hyperprop-Signature` with your endpoint
    secret, using `X-Hyperprop-Timestamp` for replay protection;
    `X-Hyperprop-Delivery` gives you a unique delivery ID for deduplication.
    Failed deliveries are retried with backoff, and you can redeliver any event
    from the dashboard or API.


    ## MCP Connector (AI Agents)


    The platform ships a built-in [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server,
    so AI agents and assistants (Claude, Cursor, custom agents) can operate your
    organization directly — no integration code required.


    ```http

    Endpoint:  POST https://api.hyperprop.com/platform/v1/mcp

    Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses)

    Auth:      X-API-Key header, Authorization: Bearer hp_live_..., or OAuth

    ```


    **Claude web / desktop (Add custom connector):** paste the endpoint URL and
    leave the OAuth Client ID/Secret fields empty — the connector registers
    itself automatically. Claude opens a Hyperprop consent page where an org
    admin pastes the organization API key once; access then follows that key's
    permissions and ends if the key is revoked. (Under the hood: OAuth 2.1 with
    PKCE and dynamic client registration.)


    **Cursor / Claude Code — `mcp.json`:**


    ```json

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "hyperprop": {
          "url": "https://api.hyperprop.com/platform/v1/mcp",
          "headers": { "X-API-Key": "hp_live_your_key_here" }
        }
      }
    }

    ```


    **Available tools (12):** `list_trading_plans`, `list_trading_accounts`,
    `get_trading_account`, `get_account_audit_log`, `list_traders`,
    `get_trader`, `list_purchases`, `get_purchase`, `get_billing_summary` (read)
    · `create_trading_account`, `update_trading_account`, `record_payout`
    (write).


    Every tool call executes the corresponding REST endpoint with your key, so
    organization scoping, permissions, validation, audit logging, and webhooks
    apply exactly as documented on each endpoint. Read tools work with any key;
    write tools need `write`/`admin` permission — connect a **read-only key** if
    you want a strictly read-only agent. `create_trading_account` accepts an
    optional `idempotencyKey` so agent retries can't create duplicates, and
    `record_payout` implements the documented payout recipe (append to
    `metadata.payouts`, adjust `currentBalance`, audit-logged `reason`).


    ## Endpoint Groups


    - **Authentication** — Sign up, sign in, OAuth, MFA, password reset. No auth
    required for most.

    - **User** — Profile, notifications, demo accounts, audit logs. Requires
    **Bearer token** (JWT).

        curl -X PATCH ".../{ruleId}" \
          -d '{"scalingPlan": {"basis": "balance", "tiers": [{"profit": 0, "maxContracts": 1}, {"profit": 1000, "maxContracts": 2}, {"profit": 3000, "maxContracts": 5.5}]}}'
        ```


        **Example - Change the micro conversion ratio (5 micros = 1 mini):**

        ```bash

        curl -X PATCH ".../{ruleId}" \
          -d '{"microConversionRatio": 5}'
        ```


        **Micro contract conversion (`microConversionRatio`):**


        `maxContracts` (and scaling-plan tiers) are denominated in
        mini-equivalent units. Micro contracts (MES, MNQ, MGC, ...) are
        converted using the rule set's `microConversionRatio` — how many micros
        count as **1 unit** toward the limit:


        | Ratio | `maxContracts: 10` allows |

        |-------|---------------------------|

        | `10` (default, CME notional ratio) | 10 minis or 100 micros, or any
        equivalent mix |

        | `5` | 10 minis or 50 micros |

        | `1` | 10 contracts total — micros count the same as minis |


        E-mini and full-size contracts always count as 1 unit each; the ratio
        only affects micros. Omit the field (or PATCH it to `null`) to use the
        default 10:1 conversion. Different plans can use different ratios by
        pointing them at different rule sets. Enforcement is account-wide and
        real-time in the trade engine.


        Example — a plan where 5 micros equal 1 mini:

        ```json

        { "maxContracts": 10, "microConversionRatio": 5 }

        ```


        **Scaling plans (`scalingPlan`):**


        ## Position limits: pick the right field


        `maxContracts` counts **engine units** and a rule is not tied to a
        market, so

        one unit is one futures contract but **0.001 BTC** on the Binance
        perpetual. The

        same number therefore means different things depending on which account
        the rule

        backs. Use `maxPositionByMarket` for anything that is not plain futures:


        ```json

        {
          "name": "50K BTC Perp",
          "maxLoss": 2000,
          "dailyLoss": 1000,
          "maxPositionByMarket": { "BINANCE": 0.5 }
        }

        ```


        That is **half a Bitcoin** — no conversion, no engine units. Rejections
        quote it

        back the same way:


        > Order would exceed the BINANCE position limit on this account: 0.600
        BTC

        > requested, limit 0.500 BTC.


        | Field | Counts in | Scope | Use for |

        |---|---|---|---|

        | `maxPositionByMarket` | the market's own unit (BTC) | that market only
        | crypto, and any fractional contract |

        | `maxContracts` | mini-equivalents (micros via `microConversionRatio`)
        | all instruments | futures |


        A market named in `maxPositionByMarket` is **not** also gated by

        `maxContracts` — a market gets one limit or the other. Send `null` to
        clear

        every per-market limit and put all markets back under `maxContracts`.


        Instead of a flat `maxContracts` limit, you can define profit-based
        tiers that grow the trader's position size as they make profit:


        ```json

        {
          "scalingPlan": {
            "basis": "balance",
            "tiers": [
              { "profit": 0,    "maxContracts": 1 },
              { "profit": 1000, "maxContracts": 2 },
              { "profit": 3000, "maxContracts": 5.5 }
            ]
          }
        }

        ```


        - `profit` is in dollars relative to the account's starting balance. The
        first tier must be `0` — it defines the starting limit.

        - Alternatively, tiers can use absolute `balance` thresholds instead of
        `profit` (all tiers must use the same key). The first tier defines the
        starting limit — set its threshold at (or below) the account size:


        ```json

        {
          "tiers": [
            { "balance": 50000,  "maxContracts": 1 },
            { "balance": 55000,  "maxContracts": 2 },
            { "balance": 60000,  "maxContracts": 5.5 }
          ]
        }

        ```

          Note: balance thresholds tie the rule to one account size — a `55000` tier means something very different on a 25K vs 100K account. Profit-based tiers are portable across account sizes; prefer them unless all accounts on this rule share one size.
        - `maxContracts` is in **mini-equivalent** units and supports **0.1
        steps**. Micros count as 1/`microConversionRatio` of a mini (default
        10), so `5.5` allows 5 minis or 55 micros (e.g. 5 ES or 55 MES) at the
        default ratio.

        - `basis` controls when tiers activate/deactivate:
          | Value | Behavior |
          |-------|----------|
          | `balance` | Measured against current balance — limits scale back down if the balance drops below a threshold (default) |
          | `high_water_mark` | Measured against the best balance reached — tiers unlock permanently |
        - When `scalingPlan` is set it **overrides** `maxContracts`. Remove it
        (`"scalingPlan": null` on PATCH) to fall back to the flat limit.

        - Enforced in real time at order placement by the trade engine.


        **Consistency rule (`consistency` + related fields):**


        Caps how much of a trader's profit may come from a single day. The daily
        cap is:


        ```text

        daily_cap = round(base × consistency%, 2)
                  + starting_balance × consistencyTolerancePct%
                  + consistencyLeniency
        ```


        A day whose net PnL **reaches or exceeds** the cap fails the rule (the
        boundary is inclusive). The formula is selected automatically by account
        type:


        - **Evaluation accounts** — the rule gates *passing*: base defaults to
        max(profitTarget, totalPnl), and the trader also needs at least
        `consistencyMinDays` profitable days (default: ceil(100/consistency), so
        50% → 2 days). Reaching the profit target with over-concentrated gains
        does NOT fail the account — it simply stays active until gains are
        spread out, and the account's `completionPendingReason` explains exactly
        why.

        - **Sim-funded accounts** — the rule gates *payouts*: base is the profit
        in the current payout cycle (since the last payout with
        `consistencyReset`).


        **Enforcement is opt-in per rule set** (`consistencyEnforced`, default
        false — the historical behavior where the consistency % was
        informational only). Existing accounts are unaffected until you enable
        it.


        Example — MFFU-style template: `{ "consistency": 50,
        "consistencyEnforced": true, "consistencyTolerancePct": 0.2 }` on
        evaluation rules, and `{ "consistency": 50, "consistencyEnforced": true,
        "consistencyLeniency": 40 }` on Builder sim-funded rules.


        **Sim-funded accounts — limits are optional per rule set:**


        Every trading limit on a rule set applies to `sim_funded` accounts
        exactly like evaluations **when set**, and is disabled when `0`/omitted
        — so you choose per template who enforces funded limits:


        - **Platform enforces** (recommended): attach a rule set with real
        values, e.g. `{ "dailyLoss": 1500, "maxLoss": 2500, "maxContracts": 5,
        "consistency": 50, "consistencyEnforced": true, "consistencyLeniency":
        40, "maxPayouts": 5, "payoutMllLockOffset": 100 }` — we enforce limits
        live, gate payouts on consistency, and fire the webhooks.

        - **You enforce**: attach a permissive rule set (limits `0`) and run
        your own logic; we still execute trades and payouts.


        `profitTarget` never completes a sim-funded account — funded accounts
        withdraw, they don't "pass" — so it is safe to reuse an eval-style rule
        set on funded accounts.



        **Warning:** Changing rules affects how accounts using these rules are
        evaluated. Changes apply to future evaluations, not retroactively.
