Rules
No High-Frequency Trading
All positions must be held for a minimum of 5 seconds. Algo-driven rapid-fire execution is banned.
HFT uses ultra-fast algorithms to exploit tiny price differences across thousands of trades per second. For Traders bans this entirely to maintain a fair environment. Every position must be open for at least 5 seconds before closing.
No Arbitrage Trading
Exploiting price discrepancies between markets or data feeds is strictly prohibited.
This covers hedge arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, and latency arbitrage. Any strategy that capitalises on delayed price feeds, offset trades across accounts, or price differences between markets will result in account termination and forfeited profits.
No Grid Trading
Layered order networks designed to game volatility are not permitted.
Grid trading sets up buy and sell orders at fixed price intervals to profit from market fluctuations without genuine directional conviction. This is banned as it can artificially disrupt market prices and over-expose margin without a real trading strategy behind it.
No Tick Scalping
Bots or strategies targeting micro price movements in rapid succession are banned.
Tick scalping attempts to grab tiny profits from the smallest price changes at high speed, almost always using automation. This is prohibited as it exploits structural inefficiencies rather than reflecting genuine trading skill.
No Martingale Strategy
Doubling down on losing trades to recover losses is not allowed.
The Martingale approach involves increasing position sizes after each loss in an attempt to recoup. For Traders bans this due to its extreme risk profile and the fact that it prioritises recovery mechanics over real strategy and risk management.
No Cross-Account Hedging
Offsetting positions across two or more accounts is strictly forbidden.
Holding a long on one account and a short on another for the same asset creates artificial risk-free profit. This is considered a form of manipulation and will result in disqualification across all involved accounts.
No Gambling-Style Trading
Passing a challenge through a single oversized trade is not allowed.
Any trade or group of trades in the same direction on the same instrument that accounts for 70% or more of the profit target will result in a challenge reset. For Traders requires consistent, multi-day performance that genuinely reflects a trader's skill and discipline.
40% Margin Rule
No single trade or set of same-direction trades on one instrument can exceed 40% of available margin.
This rule applies to both challenges and master accounts. Overexposing margin in one direction is classified as reckless risk-taking. If you prefer to trade without this restriction, the Challenge PRO variant removes this requirement.
No News Trading Within 5 Minutes (Master Accounts Only)
Opening trades within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact news release is banned on funded accounts.
During challenges you can trade news freely. Once on a master account, you may hold existing positions through news but cannot open new ones within the 5-minute window either side of a major release. Profits from trades opened inside this window will not be counted.
No Automated Bots
Fully automated trading systems that execute without human input are prohibited.
EAs are allowed only if they assist your decision-making, not replace it. Any bot or script that opens and closes trades independently without manual involvement is banned and will result in account disqualification.
No Group or Signal Trading
Coordinating trades with others or following external signal services is not permitted.
This includes group hedging, copy trading into For Traders accounts, and following paid or free signal providers. All trading must reflect your own independent analysis and decisions.
