FundedSquad strictly prohibits any trading strategy that is considered "cheating", which typically involves exploiting the characteristics of demo accounts to generate risk-free or artificially inflated profits. The following strategies are strictly forbidden:
-Platform or data freezing due to a demo server error
-Trading on delayed data feeds or using outdated price charts
-Tick scalping, high-frequency trading, and arbitrage bots
-Latency and hedge arbitrage
-Cost averaging (averaging up or averaging down)
Reverse trading, which involves immediately opening a position in the opposite direction after closing a losing trade on the same asset. To comply, traders must wait at least 20 minutes before re-entering a trade after a losing position.
Martingale strategies, which involve exponentially increasing position sizes to recover losses.
Additionally, excessive risk-taking, such as utilizing full margin or disproportionately large lot sizes, is prohibited. These practices create an unsustainable trading approach that prioritizes short-term gains over long-term risk management and can result in erratic account performance.
