General Guidelines
- All trading activity must reflect a sound and responsible approach to risk management.
- Gambling-style behavior (excessively high-risk trading without a consistent strategy or rationale) is strictly prohibited.
Examples include:
- Placing oversized trades relative to account size
- Risking the majority of the account balance on a single position
- Trading without stop-losses as a means of “all or nothing” speculation
- Random or impulsive trades not based on a repeatable strategy
Specific Prohibited Strategies
Martingale Strategy
Opening multiple positions on the same instrument and in the same direction during a drawdown is strictly forbidden.
- This carries excessive risk and goes against our principles of responsible risk management.
- Engaging in martingale tactics will result in immediate account breach and challenge failure.
All-in-One Trading
Reaching the profit target through a single trade contradicts our requirement for consistent and disciplined trading.
- Any trade where the profit equals or exceeds the entire account profit target in one position will be flagged and considered a violation.
Tick Scalping / High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Strategies that execute large numbers of trades in milliseconds to exploit minor price movements are not allowed.
- These can distort market activity, create unnecessary volatility, and are deemed manipulative.
- Our evaluation is designed to assess genuine trading skill and strategy, not automated exploits.
Arbitrage Trading
Arbitrage exploits price discrepancies between brokers, platforms, or markets.
- While legal in open markets, this undermines our evaluation process.
- It reflects technical exploitation rather than trading ability.
Latency Trading
Taking advantage of delays (latency) in price feeds, execution, or data updates between systems is prohibited.
- This creates an unfair edge, relies on loopholes, and disrupts fairness.
- Accounts using latency strategies will be disqualified or revoked.
Exploitation of Technical Issues
Exploiting platform-related issues (such as data feed delays, server freezes, or glitches) is strictly prohibited.
- Traders attempting to benefit from disruptions will face review and possible removal.
- Report issues immediately to our support team instead of exploiting them.
Hedging
Hedging across multiple accounts, connected accounts, or different firms is not allowed.
- Only hedging within a single account by the same trader is permitted.
- Manipulative or coordinated hedging will result in disqualification.
Account Sharing
Sharing, distributing, or selling your account to another person or third party is prohibited.
- All trading must be conducted only by the registered account holder.
- We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for account sharing.
