Prohibited Trading Practices
We fund traders with a real edge, not traders gaming the sim. Trade like you would with real money: intentional, professional and risk-managed. The practices below are not allowed.
Risk and sizing
- High-risk “YOLO” setups. Going all-in with max size and counting on the daily drawdown to save you. The daily drawdown is not a strategy; you’re expected to manage risk like a real trader.
- Account cycling or gambling. Recklessly blowing accounts and buying new ones to hit one lucky trade, or rotating through multiple evaluations to dodge consistency.
Order and fill tricks
- Excessive order stacking. Layering multiple orders to game fill logic or create artificial execution advantages.
- Fill manipulation. Using ultra-tight brackets or targeting areas with no slippage to exploit fill mechanics.
- Limit order flooding. Spamming identical limit orders to force partial or priority fills.
- Low-volume market sniping. Targeting obscure instruments during thin liquidity hours to catch easy fills.
- Ultra-short scalping. Consistently opening and closing trades in under 2 minutes for tiny gains, especially without a clear setup.
Trading across accounts
- Opposite positions or hedging. Running conflicting trades across your own accounts (or other people’s), even in technically different markets.
- Coordinated trading. Working with others to mirror or counteract trades across accounts.
