Temporary update: due to increased market volatility, leverage on Metals, Oil and Indices is temporarily set to 1:5 on funded accounts only. Standard leverage returns once conditions stabilise.

Inactivity

The following strategies and behaviours are not permitted and may result in account termination or profit removal. They undermine fair evaluation and a level playing field for every trader. See the full policy →
One-Sided Bets
All-or-nothing directional positions that rely on a single outcome instead of managed risk.
Grid Trading
Layering orders at fixed intervals to average into a position regardless of direction.
High-Frequency Trading
Trades held 60 seconds or less, or an unusually high number of trades per hour.
Copy Trading (unrelated)
Copying trades, signals or management from accounts that aren’t your own. Your own accounts are fine.
Public Third-Party EAs
Public third-party expert advisors are restricted. First-party EAs you build yourself are allowed.
Reverse Trading & Group Hedging
Opposite positions across accounts, or coordinated positions across traders, to eliminate risk.
Group Copying / Account Management
Anyone other than the owner trading the account, or identical-setting group copying. Breaches KYC/AML.
Account Churning (Rolling)
Repeatedly opening and recycling accounts to game resets, refunds or payouts.
Exploiting System Glitches
Profiting from platform bugs, pricing errors or technical faults rather than genuine market moves.
Exploiting Platform Inefficiencies
Gaming latency, feed gaps or execution quirks for an unfair edge.
