Speedy account prohibited practices

Updated over a week ago

To maintain a fair and transparent trading environment, certain strategies and behaviours are strictly prohibited.

Any violation may result in:

• Payout rejection
• Profit forfeiture
• Account suspension
• Permanent removal from the Traderscale program

All accounts are reviewed at the time of payout. Traders are welcome to request a review of their trading history from our dealing team by contacting [email protected]


1. Arbitrage Trading

Exploiting pricing discrepancies, latency differences, or technical inefficiencies is strictly prohibited.

This includes:

• Latency arbitrage
• Triangular arbitrage
• Cross platform price exploitation
• Execution delay manipulation

Any attempt to gain advantage from pricing mismatches or infrastructure limitations is not permitted.


2. High Frequency Trading

The use of ultra high speed execution designed to capture minor price fluctuations within milliseconds is not allowed.

This includes algorithmic strategies designed to exploit micro price movements.


3. News Bracketing

Placing simultaneous buy and sell pending orders above and below price immediately before major economic events to capture volatility is prohibited.

Directional discretionary news trading is permitted. Structured straddle strategies are not.


4. Martingale Strategy

Increasing position size after a loss in order to recover previous losses is not permitted.

This includes any exponential or progressive lot sizing approach.


5. Grid Trading

Placing multiple layered orders at fixed price intervals to capitalise on volatility without directional bias is prohibited.


6. Excessive Risk and Drawdown Recovery

Opening additional positions on the same asset while already in drawdown for the purpose of recovering losses is not permitted.

This applies:

• Within a single account
• Across multiple accounts

Risk must remain consistent and within program limits.


7. Exploiting System Errors

Profiting from technical issues, pricing errors, feed delays, or platform malfunctions is strictly prohibited.

Any such profits may be removed.


8. Trade Coordination and Copy Trading

Coordinated trading across multiple accounts is not permitted.

This includes:

• Signal sharing
• Mirrored trading
• Copy trading software
• Coordinated execution between individual

Each account must be traded independently by the registered trader.


9. One Sided or Speculative Exposure

Consistently placing unbalanced directional trades without structured risk management may be considered speculative behaviour and subject to review.

All trading should be based on defined strategy and controlled risk.


10. Expert Advisors and Automation

The use of Expert Advisors, automated execution tools, bots, trade copying systems, or scripts that place or manage trades automatically is strictly prohibited.

All trading must be manually executed by the registered trader.


11. Tick Scalping

Entering and exiting trades within seconds to capture minimal price movement is not permitted.

All positions must be held for a minimum of two minutes.

Profits generated from trades held for less than two minutes will be removed and may result in payout rejection.


12. Hedge Trading

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

This includes hedging across multiple accounts.


13. Risking the Full Daily Loss Limit

Deliberately risking the entire daily loss allowance on a single trade or series of layered trades is considered reverse arbitrage and is not permitted.

Maximum allowable daily exposure:

• Speedy accounts: 4 percent
• Pro accounts: 5 percent

Structured attempts to reach maximum loss limits intentionally may result in account termination.


14. Account Sharing and Reselling

Accounts may not be:

• Sold
• Shared
• Transferred
• Managed by third parties

Only the registered trader may access and trade the account.


15. Toxic Trading Behaviour

Any trading practices considered reckless or structurally unsound risk behaviour by our dealing team is not permitted.

This includes:

• Trading without a stop loss unless the No Stop Loss add on is active
• Failing to place a stop loss within 5 minutes when using the add on
• Operating with negative risk to reward ratios

If negative risk to reward exceeds 60 percent, this may result in payout rejection and account breach. Any positive PnL from toxic trading below 60 percent will lead to a deduction to your payout share, where applicable.

The dealing team compares:

If toxic trading is identified:

• Profit may be reduced
• Payout may be rejected
• Account may be breached

Traderscale employs a professional third party dealing team to review trading activity at the time of payout.

All traders agree to abide by these rules as a condition of participation.

Failure to comply may result in enforcement action without prior notice.
