No. Opening or closing trades around restricted high-impact news events is not allowed. If your strategy depends on news volatility, review the restricted window before trading because violations may lead to review or breach.

No. Automated execution, expert advisors, HFT, tick scalping, copy trading, account management services, signal copying, and account sharing are prohibited unless a future program explicitly states otherwise in writing.

No. Traders may not use latency differences, delayed pricing, stale quotes, platform errors, or execution delays to create an unfair profit. This is treated as execution abuse and may invalidate results.

No. Martingale, grid recovery, excessive averaging, and position stacking designed to recover losses through increased exposure are prohibited because they create unstable risk and can hide account damage until drawdown is breached.

Trading decisions must be independent. Copying another trader, using third-party signal services, coordinating entries, mirroring trades across unrelated accounts, sharing account access, or allowing another person to trade the account is prohibited.

Toxic order flow is trading designed to abuse liquidity, platform execution, spreads, rollover, abnormal market conditions, or other execution conditions. Examples may include exploit-based scalping, abusive order bursts, and trades relying on technical errors rather than market risk.

Every trade must remain open for more than 30 seconds. Shorter trades may be reviewed and may count as a violation, especially when combined with high-frequency entries, news spikes, latency abuse, or other restricted behavior.

Traders must maintain at least 50% free margin when the rule applies to the account type. The program may issue two strikes for violations; an additional violation may result in breach.
