Prohibited strategies
These apply to every evaluation and funded account. They exist because each one produces results that would not hold up with real risk.
1.Hedging across accounts or with other traders
Opening a position on one account that offsets a position on another account: another of your own accounts, someone else’s account here, or an account at another firm.
One side always wins, so the evaluation measures nothing. We compare trades across accounts for opposite exposure opened close together.
2.Copy trading and account sharing
Copying another person’s trades or signals into your account, letting someone else trade your account, or trading accounts held by other people.
Each account must be traded by the person who passed verification and holds it.
3.Latency or stale-price arbitrage
Trading on a price you know is out of date (a delayed or frozen quote, or a gap between our price and the market) to lock in a risk-free profit.
Stale quotes are already refused; trades that exploit a price error are reviewed and their profit removed.
4.Tick scalping under the hold rule
Opening and closing positions within 20 s as a strategy.
Profit on a trade held under 20 s is removed automatically. Repeating it to work around the rule is treated as abuse.
5.All-in gambling
Putting most of the account’s risk on one trade or a handful of trades, so that a single move passes or breaches the account (for example, maximum size with no stop-loss, over and over).
A funded account has to show repeatable risk management, not one lucky bet. We look at size against the account, stops, and how much of the result comes from one trade.
6.News straddling
Placing buy and sell orders on both sides of the price just before a scheduled high-impact release, so one side fills on the spike.
Profit on trades opened or closed inside a news window is already removed; setting up orders to exploit the release is abuse as well.
7.Opposite positions on the same symbol
Holding a buy and a sell on the same symbol at the same time.
A locked pair carries no risk, and closing the legs one by one would get around the minimum hold and news rules.
What happens if we see one
Automated checks only flag a pattern and keep the evidence; they may hold a payout while we look. A person decides, using a ladder: a warning, removing the profit involved, size caps, reduce-only mode, or ending the account. Every decision names the rule and shows the evidence, and you can appeal within 14 days.
