Prohibited Trading Practices

Written by Theo T.

Arbitrage / Latency Exploits

Latency arbitrage, quote manipulation, or exploiting price or execution delays is prohibited. Our markets are designed to reflect real trading conditions, and such strategies are considered system abuse and are not allowed.

High-Frequency Trading (HFT)

Extremely fast order execution in the millisecond range or the use of technical advantages such as co-location is not permitted. Trading must follow standard retail execution conditions.

Hedging

Hedging — meaning simultaneously holding long and short positions in the same or correlated markets — is only allowed in Crypto or CFD Hedging Accounts and prohibitied in the Futures market. This prohibited in general across multiple accounts and users.

Platform / Market Manipulation

Spoofing, layering, or any form of deliberate manipulation of price feeds or market movements will result in immediate account termination.

Copy Trading / External Signals

Copy trading, mirror trading, or the use of external signal providers or bots is not allowed. All trades must be based on your own analysis.

Account Sharing / Multi-User Access

Accounts must only be used by the registered trader. Sharing login credentials or allowing third-party access is strictly prohibited.

Promo Codes

Promo codes are personal, non-transferable, and can only be used once. Abuse, sharing, or multiple usage will result in account suspension. Products with single-use restrictions may be excluded from payouts if misused across multiple profiles.

Third-Party Expert Advisors (EAs)

EAs are only allowed if the trader has full access to the source code and can demonstrate control over the system. Any system that violates other rules (e.g. arbitrage or extreme scalping) is not permitted.

Extreme Scalping

Trading strategies with extremely short holding times (e.g. second-based trades or tick scalping) are not allowed. Trades must be based on real market decisions.

Exploiting Platform Bugs / Glitches

Exploiting technical errors, pricing issues, or system glitches is strictly prohibited. Any unfair advantage gained from such situations will be reversed and may result in account suspension.

Multi-Account / Account Duplication

Multiple accounts, fake identities, or attempts to bypass rules through third parties are not allowed. Each trader may only trade their own accounts.

AI Bots / Auto-Trading Systems

Automated systems are only allowed if the trader has full control and transparency over the logic. Black-box or external commercial bots are not permitted.

Extreme Leverage / Overexposure

Excessive position sizing or aggressive overtrading that does not match the account size may lead to account closure.

Overnight / Weekend Holding

Positions may not be held overnight or over the weekend. In futures trading, all positions are automatically closed at 04:45 pm. EST


Swing Trading

Longer-term strategies such as swing trading are not possible in the Futures market.
