Rules:

1. Arbitrage Trading

Engaging in arbitrage by exploiting price discrepancies or technical glitches across different platforms or exchanges is strictly prohibited. This includes latency arbitrage, triangular arbitrage, and any method used to gain unfair advantage from price mismatches.

2. Exploiting System Errors

Taking advantage of technical glitches, price feed errors, or platform malfunctions to generate profits before the error is corrected is considered unethical and is strictly forbidden.

3. One-Sided Bets

Consistently placing long or short trades on a single asset without proper market analysis or risk management is not permitted. Trading should be based on sound strategies, not blind speculation.

4. Use of Expert Advisors (EAs) & Automated Trading

The use of any form of Expert Advisors (EAs), copy traders, or automated trade execution tools is strictly prohibited. This includes scripts, calculators, and AI-generated trading strategies.

5. Tick Scalping

Entering and exiting trades within seconds to capitalize on minor price fluctuations is not allowed. All positions must be held for a minimum of two minutes before closing. Any profits made below two minutes will be removed and may result in payout rejection.

6. Hedge Trading

Simultaneously opening buy and sell positions on the same currency pair to exploit temporary pricing inefficiencies is prohibited. This includes between multiple trading accounts.

7. Risking Daily Loss Limit

Trading behavior that involves risking the full daily loss limit on a single trade or set of layered trades is considered reverse arbitrage.

  • Maximum risk allowed is 4% per day.

8. Max Drawdown

The maximum drawdown on accounts for the competition is 8%. This drawdown is trailing.

9. Daily Drawdown
