The "Red List"

1. Hedging

You cannot hold a Long and Short position on the same asset simultaneously.

  • Specific Violation: This includes cross-contract hedging. For example, holding a Long position on a Mini contract (e.g., NQ) while simultaneously holding a Short position on the Micro equivalent (e.g., MNQ) is a strict violation.

2. One-Sided Bets

Using max leverage on a single trade idea without technical justification.

  • One-Sided Trading

    This includes consistently across many accounts taking advantage of one single market direction to keep placing one-sided trades. We understand this behavior as intentional one-sided trading rather than legitimate strategy.

3. Gaming the System

Any attempt to manipulate the platform or trade in an exploitative manner.

  • Bulk Account Exploitation

    Buying many accounts to trade in an exploitative manner.

  • Arbitrage

    Exploiting platform freezes, data delays, or price feed errors.

4. HFT (High-Frequency Trading)

  • Strategies that enter and exit positions in sub-second intervals to exploit server latency.
