The following restrictions apply to Turbo accounts:
1. High-Frequency Trading (HFT) / Latency Arbitrage
• Executing trades that exploit delays in price feeds or server latency. This includes the use of algorithms or systems that rely on speed advantages to manipulate execution.
2. News Trading (±5 Minutes)
• Entering or exiting positions immediately before, during, or after high-impact economic news releases in order to capitalize on volatile price movements. This includes all high-impact news days.
3. Grid Trading and Martingale Strategies
• Placing layered trades in a grid formation or using position-sizing methods such as Martingale that exponentially increase risk exposure.
4. Tick Scalping / Ultra-Short-Term Scalping / Rapid Re-Entry
• Each trade must remain open for more than 15 seconds.
• Trades closed in 15 seconds or less will be considered tick scalping and may result in a violation.
• Re-entering trades within 15 seconds is also considered a violation.
• This rule applies to opening, closing, and re-entering trades to prevent ultra-short-term scalping.
5. Reverse Arbitrage / Price Feed Manipulation
• Exploiting differences between demo and live pricing environments or between liquidity providers with the intent to generate risk-free profits or manipulate results.
6. Trade Passing / Collusive Trading
• Coordinating trades between multiple accounts (including third-party accounts) to manipulate exposure, pricing, or performance.
7. Hedging Across Multiple Accounts
• Simultaneously opening opposing positions (e.g long and short) to bypass risk rules or evaluation criteria.
8. Weekend Holding (Unless Permitted by Account Type)
• Holding open positions over the weekend where it is not expressly allowed, due to the increased risk of market gaps and illiquidity.
9. Automated Trading / Expert Advisors (EAs)
• The use of automated trading systems or algorithms is not permitted. Manual execution is required.
10. Trade Stacking
• Trade stacking must not exceed three (3) entries at any given time.
11. Risk Rules
• Turbo Challenge: No risk contracts are allowed.
• Funded Stage: Maximum 1% risk per trade.
12. Additional Prohibited Trading Styles:
• Hedging (not allowed under any circumstances, whether within the same account or across multiple accounts)
