High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
HFT relies on executing thousands of trades per second using automated algorithms to capitalize on small price movements. While effective in institutional settings, it overloads trading servers and disrupts liquidity flow in simulated environments.
Why it's banned: The strategy creates artificial volatility, strains platform infrastructure, and does not align with sustainable trading practices.
Other Prohibited Strategies
Account Sharing: Using multiple identities to bypass trading restrictions.
Multi-Account Hedging — Owning two or more accounts and placing opposing trades across them (e.g., buying EUR/USD in one account while selling it in another) as a way to bypass challenge rules and manipulate pass rates.
Account Sharing or Passing Programs - Allowing others to trade on your behalf or participating in programs that offer to pass the evaluation for you
Use of Masked Expert Advisors (EAs) - Using commercially available EAs without proper disclosure or attempting to hide their usage is forbidden.
Copy Trading and Signal Services - Relying on third-party signal services or copying trades from other traders undermines the evaluation of individual trading skills and is not permitted.
Multi-account hedging distorts real trading evaluation and goes against the spirit of skill-based trading. Any accounts detected engaging in this practice will be subject to immediate disqualification.
By enforcing these rules, we ensure a level playing field where traders can succeed based on skill, strategy, and risk management—not loopholes or exploitative tactics.
