At Funded Trader Markets, we empower traders to choose their trading styles and strategies without restrictions. However, it is crucial to follow our guidelines and avoid activities that exploit our systems or violate fair trading practices.

The following actions are strictly prohibited:

  • Using Manipulative Software or Techniques: Employing software, AI, ultra-high-speed techniques, or mass data entry methods that manipulate or unfairly advantage your use of our systems is not allowed.

  • Non-Standard Trading Practices: Engaging in trading practices that deviate from typical forex or financial market trading, or that could cause financial or other harm to the provider.

  • Using External or Slow Data Feeds: Executing trades with external or slow data feeds.

  • Exploiting Service Errors: Using trading strategies that take advantage of errors in our services, such as price display errors or delayed updates.

  • Manipulative Trading: Engaging in manipulative trades, such as entering simultaneous opposite positions, either individually or in collaboration with others.

  • Hedging Across Accounts: Hedging between accounts with other evaluation firms similar to Funded Trader Markets.

  • Account Management Services: All accounts in our challenges must be traded exclusively by the account owner once a phase is completed. Any deviation from this rule will be considered a violation.

  • Group Trading: Group trading and copying trades from others, as well as coordinating and reverse trading with others, are not allowed.

  • High-Frequency Trading: Engaging in high-frequency trading, which involves trading large volumes of positions at very high speeds, is prohibited.

  • News Scalping: Rapidly opening and closing multiple positions within seconds around high-impact news releases (e.g., FOMC, NFP, CPI) to exploit market feeds is not allowed.

  • Arbitrage Trading: Any form of arbitrage trading, including reverse and latency arbitrage, is strictly prohibited.

  • Multi-Account Reverse Trading: Reverse trading across multiple accounts, especially around events like FOMC, where you hedge positions across different evaluation firms, is not allowed.

  • Tick Scalping: Scalping in ticks, which involves opening and closing large position sizes in milliseconds, is prohibited as it cannot be mirrored live.

  • Internal Reverse Trading: Engaging in reverse trading within Funded Trader Market’s internal accounts is not allowed.

  • Group Hedging: Coordinating opposing positions across one or multiple evaluation firms to manipulate risk is strictly prohibited.

  • Account Management Services: Purchasing or providing account management services or using evaluation firm passing services is not allowed.

  • Account Sharing: Sharing account information or allowing someone else to pass an account on your behalf will result in account termination.

  • Mirroring Trades: It is not allowed to mirror trades from another trader or group of traders across multiple accounts.

Additionally; only one trader per household and IP address is allowed. Breaching this rule will result in the termination of all accounts involved.

Note: If any trader is found engaging in any of the prohibited practices, we reserve the right to close the account and forfeit any associated payout without a refund.
