Forbidden Practices
Updated over 2 months ago

All prohibited trading practices apply to both Evaluation and Master Accounts.

  • Arbitrage Trading

Hedge Arbitrage

It is not allowed for a user to hedge between two accounts and multiple accounts. A position in one account can't be hedged by a position in another account, usually with another company. Hedging - meaning going short on one account, and long on the other is strictly prohibited.

Reverse Arbitrage

Entails simultaneously selling at a higher price in one market and buying at a lower price in another.

Latency Arbitrage

Capitalizes on the delay in market data updates by executing trades based on faster access to information.

  • HFT (High Frequency Trading)

High Frequency Trading (HFT) uses advanced algorithms and ultra-fast computing to execute a large number of trades in seconds, exploiting small price differences. It relies on speed and technology to gain an edge in the market, contributing to liquidity but also raising concerns about volatility and fairness.

Trading activities with a frequency of less than five seconds are strictly prohibited.


  • Grid Trading

Grid trading sets up a network of buy and sell orders at specific price intervals to profit from market volatility, executing trades as prices fluctuate. While effective in both rising and falling markets, it's sometimes banned for potentially manipulating market prices or exploiting structural inefficiencies.

  • Tick Scalping

Strategy aimed at snatching minor profits from the smallest price changes, called "ticks," in rapid succession. It's all about speed, with trades lasting seconds to minutes, often automated to catch these quick shifts. Ideal for those keen on exploiting instant market reactions, it demands fast decision-making and constant market watch.

  • Use of Automated Bots

The use of bots and automatic emulators that trade on your behalf is prohibited.

We want to evaluate your personal trading abilities, so it is necessary to place all trades manually.

  • Gambling

Gambling in trading is characterized by actions that resemble betting rather than calculated decision-making based on market analysis. This includes overleveraging, placing one-sided bets without a thorough market analysis, or aiming to achieve unrealistic profit targets through high-risk trades. Such behaviors are not only risky but also undermine the fundamental principles of responsible trading.


Identifying Gambling Practices:

Overleveraging: Using excessive leverage without a systematic approach or risk management strategy.

One-Sided Betting: Placing disproportionately large trades on a single market event hoping for a significant reward.

Account Rolling: Repeatedly starting new trading challenges with a high-risk approach, disregarding sensible trading practices.

Passing Challenge in One Trade: We aim to ensure traders achieve profit targets through safe and consistent trading practices. To do this, we do not permit passing our challenge by making a single, large trade or multiple trades on the same symbol in the same direction that collectively accounts for over 50% of the profit target.

We reserve the right to reset the evaluation and require the trader to repeat it or apply regulations on individual accounts. Depending on the trading patterns and behaviors observed, we can impose specific limitations or requirements on individual trading accounts.


‍By enforcing these rules, we encourage a trading environment that prioritizes long-term strategy and risk management over short-term gains and opportunistic behaviors. These measures are designed to uphold the integrity of the trading process and ensure that all participants on the platform engage in responsible and strategic trading.
