At Amadeux we maintain strict guidelines on trading strategies to ensure a sustainable and fair trading environment. These restrictions are in place to support risk-managed trading and to avoid strategies that can exploit technical or market inefficiencies. Our platform strictly prohibits any trading style that abuses the system by generating risk-free or unrealistic profits that would not align with real market trading. Strategies aimed exclusively at profiting from the structure of Challenge Accounts rather than demonstrating sound trading skills are forbidden and will result in termination of the account without warning. We expect all traders to operate Challenge Accounts in the same manner as they would live accounts, and any behavior intended to exploit Challenge Account condition, including “pass-your-challenge” schemes, copy trading from external sources, or signal services, will result in account termination and a permanent ban from our services.
Below are examples of strategies that are not allowed on our platform:
High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is strictly prohibited. HFT typically involves executing a high volume of trades within fractions of a second to capture small price movements. This approach can create undue system strain and goes against our commitment to providing a stable trading environment. At Amadeux we recommend holding your trades at least 15s to ensure our systems doesn't flag you as HFT.
Hedge Trading, or holding opposing positions on the same asset simultaneously, is also not allowed. This includes opening both long and short positions on the same symbol at the same time. Hedge trading disrupts the evaluation of genuine risk management skills, so each account must maintain clear, directional trades without offsetting positions.
Tick Scalping, which focuses on capturing extremely small price movements within seconds or minutes, is likewise restricted. This strategy’s rapid trade frequency and minimal profit margins are incompatible with the risk metrics and stability we require in our evaluation.
Grid Trading, a strategy that involves placing buy and sell orders at regular intervals to capture market fluctuations, is not permitted. Although grid trading can be profitable in specific market conditions, it can quickly lead to significant drawdowns and violate our account protection limits.
Martingala strategies, which double the trade size after each loss to recover previous losses, are prohibited. While Martingale can sometimes yield short-term profits, it carries a high risk of substantial losses, particularly in volatile markets. This approach does not align with the long-term, risk-managed trading we support.
Any form of Arbitrage Trading, including but not limited to, inverse arbitrage, hedged arbitrage, and latency arbitrage, is strictly forbidden. Arbitrage strategies attempt to exploit minor price differences between markets or brokers, which may work in some environments but conflict with our platform’s structure. These methods, including latency-based approaches that take advantage of delayed data, do not represent sustainable trading practices.
