Prohibited Trading Strategies

Updated over a week ago

At FundedSquad, we maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any trading behavior designed to exploit demo account environments or bypass fair trading practices. Any strategy that attempts to generate artificial, risk-free, or manipulated profits is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate disqualification.

Examples of Prohibited Strategies Include:

  1. Platform Manipulation

    • Exploiting platform or server issues, such as freezing or glitches in demo environments

    • Trading on delayed or outdated price feeds or charts not reflecting real-time market data

  2. Arbitrage & Latency Exploits

    • Latency arbitrage: taking advantage of pricing delays between brokers or feeds

    • Hedge arbitrage: using multiple accounts to profit from mismatched execution

    • High-frequency trading (HFT) and tick scalping via bots or automated systems

  3. Risk Manipulation Strategies

    • Martingale strategies: increasing lot size after a loss to recover prior losses

  4. Layering

    • Definition: Having 3 or more open positions at the same time on a single asset.

    • This is to prevent excessive exposure and risk buildup on a single trading pair.

  5. All Or Nothing

    • Using full margin, unreasonably large lot sizes, or positioning without regard to account size or market conditions

    • These behaviors reflect unsustainable trading and violate our principles of long-term risk management
