Prohibited Practice and strategies

• Account Churning (Rolling): Opening multiple funded or challenge accounts in quick succession is prohibited

High-frequency trading (HFT): HFT involves holding trades for 60 seconds or less.

One-Sided Bets: Taking positions in a single direction without proper analysis or consideration of market trends, often leading to excessive exposure.

Grid Trading: Placing buy and sell orders at fixed intervals, relying solely on price fluctuations rather than informed analysis. This strategy disregards market conditions and often leads to uncontrolled losses.

Overleveraging: Exceeding the allowable lot size limit for your account type on a single trade idea. This creates excessive risk and significantly increases the chances of an account wipeout.

Gambling: Engaging in trades that resemble betting rather than strategy, such as placing random positions without analysis or risking large portions of the account on a single trade idea.

Martingale: Increasing positional notional volume after each trade, aiming to recover previous losses or amplify winnings on subsequent trades. This involves doubling down after a losing trade. Martingale trading is allowed for all challenges and IF Micro accounts (including funded stage). For Instant Funding accounts, traders can add to losing positions but must avoid continuously doubling lot sizes after losses.
