To keep the program fair, the following are prohibited at every stage — evaluation and funded.
Prohibited Trading Strategies
Hedging — Long and short positions in the same or correlated instrument at the same time, in one account or across accounts. See "Understanding Hedging."
Account stacking — Repeatedly taking oversized, high-risk trades until an account hits the Maximum Loss Limit, then resetting or switching accounts to repeat.
Simulator exploitation — Strategies that depend on fills you could not get in a live market, including scalping built on unrealistic fills, rapid high-volume orders to gain queue priority, reckless trades in gapped or locked markets, and very tight brackets designed to capture favorable simulated fills.
Trading outside the best bid/offer — Trades at prices that would not be available in a live market.
Delayed or external data — Trading off price display errors, data feed delays, or faster outside data feeds.
Unfair technology — Bots, AI, ultra-high-speed systems, or mass order entry designed to exploit the simulated environment.
Exploiting bugs — Using platform errors or deficiencies for profit. Report bugs to support instead.
Disruptive practices — Spoofing, layering, or any manipulative order activity.
Prohibited Account Conduct
Third-party trading — Letting someone else trade your account, or trading for someone else.
Coordinated trading — Pooling risk, mirroring, or copying trades with other traders. Copying across your own accounts in the same direction is allowed.
Multiple identities — Opening accounts under another person's name or a false identity.
Location tricks — Using VPNs, proxies, or other tools to hide your location.
Excessive purchases — Buying evaluations or resets in excess (resets are limited to 5 per account per day).
Payment abuse — Bad-faith chargebacks or disputes, or using a payment method that is not yours.
Unprofessional conduct — Abusive, threatening, or harassing behavior toward our team or other traders.
Consequences
Violations are reviewed case by case based on severity and history. Possible actions include:
A warning
Removal of trades from a trading day
Account reset
Delay or denial of a payout request
Permanent account closure
Ban from the program, including all current and future accounts
Profits gained through prohibited conduct are not eligible for payout. New accounts opened after a ban will be closed without a refund. Some violations, such as confirmed hedging or simulator exploitation, may lead to closure without a prior warning.
