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.
