FAQ Categories: Trading Rules

If there is a serious violation of our rules, this is a violation that entitles us to remove you from the ongoing challenge or live account, close all your accounts, and forfeit all your profits.
We manually review each case after a user is flagged by the automatic system. An interview or additional proof may be required from the user.

1. HFT and High-Frequency Scalping:

High-frequency trading and ultra-fast automatic trading that exploit small price differences and the demo environment by executing multiple positions in a short period. This overloads our broker demo servers and might create risk-free opportunities. We do not permit traders to hold positions for less than 3 minutes. While occasional exceptions may be allowed, this should not form a regular part of your trading strategy.

2. One-Sided Betting:

Only in the funded stage: Risking more than half your daily loss limit for one single trade or multiple trades on the same instrument is not allowed. For example, if an account has a 5% daily drawdown, you can’t risk more than 2.5% on a single position/pair of positions in the same day.

3. Tick Scalping:

Opening many positions for small price changes to exploit the demo environment and broker spreads.

4. Account Sharing and Account Management:

Accounts must be traded by the account owner using the same IP address. Sharing passwords or account access with others is a breach of rules.

5. Hedging:

Not allowed between prop firms and brokers to make risk-free gains or pass challenges at low cost, guaranteeing risk-free profits.

6. Latency Arbitrage:

Exploiting delays between the price offered by a broker and the real market price. This practice takes advantage of discrepancies in latency to make riskfree profits.

7. Passing Services:

Buying external passing services done by third parties, similar to account sharing.

8. Server Spamming:

Toxic trading that spams hundreds or thousands of market or limit orders in a short period, slowing down broker servers and potentially harming our partnerships.

9. Weekend Trading:

Opening new positions during the weekend ( Saturday and Sunday) is not allowed. Please note that weekend holding it’s allowed, which means you can hold positions opened from Friday to Monday.

1. Use of EAs (Expert Advisors):

• We allow any robot advisor or expert advisor that helps with risk management,
  graphs, and other trading tools that serve as a base for your trading ideas and
  strategies.

 

2. Grid Trading:

• Placing buy and sell orders above and below a specific price is allowed as
  long as it is not used for market manipulation, over-leveraging, creating
  market instability, or pursuing risk-free profits.

 

3. Hedging:

• Allowed within the same account without exploiting market instability for risk free profits.

 

4. Martingale:

• Allowed as long as it does not involve over-leveraging (risking all your daily
  loss in a single pair/direction) and is not used by shared EAs.

 

5. News Trading:

• Allowed, especially for swing traders, but not for high-frequency trading (HFT)
  or hedging between different accounts for risk-free profits or account passage.

 

6. Copy Trading:

• Allowed within your own accounts using your strategies, not with signal
  providers or copying other traders from our prop firm or any other.

 

7. Weekend Holding:

• Weekend holding is allowed, but you cannot trade during the weekend. Positions can only be held
  from market close on Friday to market open on Monday
