To ensure compliance with our trading guidelines, we require traders to hold positions for a minimum of 3 minutes to avoid being flagged for High-Frequency Trading (HFT) or other prohibited trading practices.
the minimum holding times falls to 30 seconds if the scalping addon has been selected when purchasing the account.
CHALLENGE PHASES:
If trades held for less than the required time are an isolated case during your challenge's trading activity and the total profit achieved by the trades marked as scalping does not exceed the "scalp limit" reported in the client's dashboard, the team can reset your account, as per a soft breach of the rules.
On the other hand, if the total profit achieved by the trades marked as scalping exceeds the "scalp limit" reported in the client's dashboard and the trades in violations apply throughout the challenge, we will consider this as a hard breach.
FUNDED STAGE:
All trades held for less than 3 minutes, or 30 seconds if the scalping addon has been selected, (either profitable or in loss) are a violation. If the team finds any trade under the required minimum holding time, your profit split will be reduced by the analysts (soft breach).
On the other hand, if the total profit achieved by the trades marked as scalping exceeds the "scalp limit" reported in the client's dashboard the live account will be reset to a fresh start, and payout will not be processed in the current cycle (profits will be forfaited).
Each case will be evaluated individually by the team.
