Competition Trading Rules

To ensure fairness and transparency, the following rules apply.

Violation may result in:

• Disqualification
• Removal from leaderboard
• Forfeiture of prize


1. Arbitrage Trading

Latency arbitrage, triangular arbitrage, or exploitation of price discrepancies across feeds or systems is strictly prohibited.


2. Exploiting System Errors

Profiting from technical glitches, price feed errors, or platform malfunctions is strictly forbidden.


3. One Sided Speculative Exposure

Blind directional trading without structured risk management may be subject to review and disqualification.


4. Expert Advisors and Automation

The use of EAs, bots, trade copiers, scripts, AI execution tools, or any automated trading software is prohibited.

All trading must be manual.


5. Tick Scalping

Positions must be held for a minimum of two minutes.

Profits from trades closed in under two minutes may be removed and may result in disqualification.


6. Hedge Trading

Simultaneously opening opposing positions on the same instrument to exploit short term pricing inefficiencies is prohibited.

This includes hedging across multiple competition accounts.


7. Risking the Full Daily Loss Limit

Deliberately risking the entire daily loss limit is considered reverse arbitrage and is not permitted.

Maximum daily risk allowed: 4 percent


8. Maximum Drawdown

Maximum drawdown for the competition account is 8 percent trailing.

The drawdown level moves upward as equity increases and does not decrease.


9. Daily Drawdown

Daily drawdown is 4 percent.

Daily limits reset at 5pm EDT.

Drawdown is calculated based on equity, not balance.


Trading Activity Monitoring

Traderscale engages a third party professional dealing team to review all competition trading activity.

Any breach of rules may result in immediate disqualification and prize forfeiture.

Leaderboard positions are final once compliance review is completed.
