Prohibited Trading Practices
Updated over 2 months ago
  • Arbitrage Trading: Exploiting price discrepancies or glitches. A trader notices a price difference for the same asset on two different exchanges and profits by buying/selling on the exchange with the different price.

  • High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Using sophisticated algorithms to execute thousands of trades within milliseconds to capitalize on small market price movements for profit.

  • Bracketing Strategy Around High-Impact News: Placing both buy and sell pending orders just above and below the current market price before a major economic announcement. One order is executed after the news release, allowing profit from the price swing.

  • Exploiting System Errors: Taking advantage of technical glitches causing incorrect price quotes on the trading platform to profit before the error is fixed.

  • Trade Coordination or Copy Trading: A group of traders collaborates to execute coordinated trades across multiple accounts, sharing signals and strategies to amplify their collective profits.

  • One-Sided Bets: Consistently entering long or short positions on a particular currency pair without proper analysis, believing it will rise/decrease indefinitely regardless of market conditions.

  • Using Expert Advisors (EAs): Any use of EAs on accounts is forbidden.

  • Tick Scalping: Engaging in rapid-fire trading, entering and exiting positions within seconds based on minor price fluctuations with each market tick. Positions must be held for 2+ minutes.

  • Hedge Trading: Simultaneously buying and selling the same currency pair on accounts to exploit temporary pricing inefficiencies.

  • Reverse Arbitrage Trading: Behaviour includes risking the full daily loss on one trade, often indicating reverse trading between firms.

  • Account Sharing or Reselling: Selling access to a funded trading account to another individual or entity, allowing them to trade on their behalf in exchange for a fee or profit share.
