You are prohibited from engaging in any of the following activities:

  1. Using any trading or order-entry methodology that is expressly prohibited by a liquidity provider.

  2. Exploiting errors or latency in the pricing of assets or positions reflected through the Breakout Terminal or on the platform of any liquidity provider.

  3. Trading on the basis of any material non-public information.

  4. Front-running.

  5. Trading in any way that, in the sole and absolute discretion of NFA, jeopardizes the relationship NFA has with a centralized exchange or market maker.

  6. Trading in any way that, in the sole and absolute discretion of NFA, creates regulatory issues for NFA, a centralized exchange or market maker.

  7. Utilizing any third-party approach, off-the-shelf approach or one marketed to achieve capital appreciation in a funded account.

  8. Utilizing one trading approach to pass the Breakout Evaluation and then utilizing a different approach in the funded account as a funded trader.

  9. Using trading approaches that are difficult to execute or, in the sole judgment of NFA, come at a heightened risk when attempting to do so, including but not limited to, trades that would risk being auto-deleveraged due to margin requirements or trades resulting in exceedingly large fluctuations in unrealized gains/losses.

  10. Executing trade ideas belonging to or inspired by any third-party, including but not limited to, copying other traders’ and analysts’ ideas or copying trading signals from any type of trading community, social media, research report or crowdsourced idea.
