The strategies listed below are prohibited across all account stages — Challenge and Funded — for all accounts. Engaging in any of these is a Hard Breach and will result in immediate account closure or denial of payout.
1. Arbitrage
Any form of arbitrage is strictly prohibited. This includes latency arbitrage, long-short arbitrage, and reverse arbitrage. Exploiting price inefficiencies between platforms, brokers, or instruments undermines fair trading conditions and will not be tolerated.
Examples:
Using a faster data feed from an external broker to anticipate price movements on your Blueberry Funded account before our pricing updates.
Simultaneously holding a long position on EURUSD on one broker and a short on another to lock in a risk-free profit from price discrepancies.
Exploiting delayed price quotes during high-impact news events to enter trades at stale prices.
2. Hedging
Hedging is permitted on a Single Blueberry Funded Trading account only. However, opening opposing positions across Two Blueberry Funded Trading Accounts, external accounts, brokers, or platforms to offset risk on your Blueberry Funded account is strictly prohibited.
Allowed:
Opening a long and short position on the same or correlated instrument within your single Blueberry Funded account as part of a legitimate trading strategy.
Prohibited:
Holding a long position on XAUUSD on your Blueberry Funded account while simultaneously holding a short on XAUUSD through an external broker to neutralize risk.
Using a personal live account on another platform to hedge against positions held on your Blueberry Funded account.
3. High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
Strategies that rely on executing a large number of trades in extremely short timeframes using automated systems or algorithms designed to exploit micro price movements are not permitted.
Examples:
Running an algorithm that opens and closes hundreds of trades per minute to capture fractional price movements.
Using automated bots that react to order book data in milliseconds to front-run price changes on our platform.
4. Tick Scalping
Holding trades for only a few seconds to capture minimal price movements is prohibited. This includes any strategy that consistently targets spreads or relies on sub-second execution advantages.
Examples:
Consistently entering and exiting trades within a very short timeframe across multiple instruments throughout a trading session.
Repeatedly targeting minimal price movements by entering and exiting positions in an extremely short window, whether with an EA or Manually.
5. Toxic Trading Flow
Any trading behavior deemed toxic to market liquidity or our execution environment is prohibited. This includes strategies intentionally designed to exploit our pricing model or infrastructure.
Examples:
Placing large orders during low-liquidity windows specifically to move prices artificially before closing at a favorable rate.
Exploiting platform-specific spread widening during rollover periods to enter at artificially favorable prices.
6. Bad Faith Trading
Trading in a manner that is intentionally deceptive, manipulative, or designed to game the evaluation process rather than demonstrate genuine trading skill. This includes any behavior that misrepresents your trading activity or circumvents the spirit of our rules.
Examples:
Deliberately inflating profit figures near the end of a challenge phase using outsized risk that would not be sustainable in funded trading.
Coordinating trades with another trader to artificially pass evaluation thresholds.
7. Copy Trading & Third-Party Account Management
Copy trading with external traders or having your account managed by a third-party vendor is strictly prohibited at all stages. Such activities with Blueberry Funded will result in immediate account termination.
This includes:
Subscribing to any signal service that executes trades on your behalf.
Granting login access to a third-party individual or service to trade your account.
Using copy trading software that mirrors trades from an external source into your Blueberry Funded account.
✅ Note: Copy trading between your own Blueberry Funded accounts remains permitted.
⚠️ If you are found using any of the above strategies at any stage, your account will be subject to immediate closure and any pending payouts will be denied. If you have any questions about whether a specific strategy or tool is compliant, contact us via Live Chat or email us at Support@blueberryfunded.com before using it.
📌 Note: A 'trade' is defined as a position held on a specific pair, which can include multiple entries with similar timings and lot sizes. Multiple entries on the same pair at the same time may count as one trade. Opening a new position in the same direction within 10 minutes of closing a losing trade is considered part of the same trade idea.
Note for Instant Access Sim Account Traders: Instant Access sim accounts do not receive warnings for violations. Traders are expected to operate strictly within the defined rules at all times. While we understand that unintentional breaches may occur, it is the trader's responsibility to remain compliant. Any deviation — intentional or not — will lead to immediate account termination.
