Purpose
We aim to ensure a fair and sustainable evaluation environment for traders. The following behaviors are not allowed and may result in account termination.

Prohibited Conduct:

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) and excessively short operations, opening and closing trades extremely quickly or repetitively, whether using algorithms or manually, does not reflect realistic trading and prevents proper risk management evaluation.

Hedge trading on the same symbol, holding long and short positions simultaneously on the same asset increases risk due to high floating exposure and makes it difficult to evaluate trading performance.

Tick scalping, trades opened and closed in very short intervals with excessive frequency are not compatible with a sustainable evaluation.

Grid trading, placing buy and sell orders in grids to capture market fluctuations can quickly escalate risk and lead to significant drawdowns.

Martingale or similar strategies, which involve increasing trade size after each loss to recover capital, are excessive risk and are not permitted.

Sudden spikes in risk or frequency, abrupt and disproportionate changes in position size or trading frequency do not reflect progressive or stable trading.

Sustainable gains per trade, a single trade cannot contribute more than 30% of the profit target for the current stage. Example: on a $100,000 account with an 8% target ($8,000), the maximum gain allowed per trade is $2,400.

Gapping or ex-dividends, leaving trades open solely to capture gaps during weekends, holidays, or news events carries high risk and is not permitted.

Arbitrage and latency, any form of arbitrage (latency, covered, reverse, etc.) that exploits technical discrepancies or price differences between markets does not represent a valid trading style on our platform.


These rules are designed to ensure that the evaluation reflects sound risk management and performance comparable to real-market trading.

If you have questions about whether a specific approach is permitted, please contact us at [email protected] or through our Live Chat. We’ll be happy to guide you before you start trading.
