• FunderBlu does not allow trading styles that abuse platform conditions, bypass fair market behavior, or rely on unsustainable risk.

• Restricted or prohibited behavior includes gambling-style trading, ultra-fast execution abuse, copying other traders, hedging across separate accounts, arbitrage, grid trading, latency abuse, account rolling, one-sided betting, hyperactivity, server-error exploitation, low-liquidity guarantee tactics, stacking trades beyond the allowed limit, and account or device sharing.

• Breaking these rules can lead to warnings, soft breaches, hard breaches, account termination, profit removal on violating trades, reward denial, or a permanent ban, depending on the violation.

FunderBlu expects traders to trade in a way that reflects real market conditions, disciplined risk management, and repeatable decision-making.

Any strategy built around exploiting demo conditions, technical delays, unfair advantages, or luck-based exposure is not considered valid trading behavior.

If a trader uses a method that creates risk-free or distorted results on challenge or funded accounts, FunderBlu may treat that as abuse of the system.

Copy trading services, signal services, or any setup that bypasses genuine trading skill may also lead to account restrictions or removal from the platform.

At FunderBlu, hedging within the same account is prohibited. Opening buy and sell positions on the same instrument within the same account reduces clarity of true market exposure and violates our risk and trading consistency standards. Traders are expected to take clear, intentional positions backed by a strategy and proper risk management, rather than offsetting trades within a single account.

At FunderBlu, Martingale is prohibited as a trading practice. Martingale is a strategy in which a trader increases their position size after a loss, usually to recover previous losses with a single winning trade. While this may seem like a fast way to bounce back, it sharply increases risk and can lead to very large drawdowns in a short time.

HFT uses advanced systems or expert advisors to execute a very large number of trades within milliseconds to seconds to capture tiny pricing inefficiencies.

At FunderBlu, this is restricted because it can create artificial demand or supply, distort real market activity, and place heavy strain on platform infrastructure.

Large bursts of HFT activity can also lead to instability, execution issues, or server-side problems for other traders.

Key points

• Warnings for HFT and hyperactivity are cumulative.

• If a trader is warned for hyperactivity and later uses HFT, penalties can escalate faster, including suspension in severe cases.

Copy trading between accounts owned by different people is not allowed. This includes copying trades between relatives, friends, or any third-party accounts.

The purpose of this rule is to keep evaluation results fair, transparent, and tied to the actual trader behind the account.

Opening a buy on one account and an opposite sell on another account is prohibited.

FunderBlu may also review trades that approach the full daily loss limit as possible signs of multi-account hedging behavior.

• Not allowed example: Buy 1 lot EURUSD on Account A and sell 1 lot EURUSD on Account B.

Group hedging means opening opposite-direction trades on the same asset across several accounts to reduce market risk or to force a better outcome elsewhere.

This is not considered genuine trading because it does not reflect a normal, standalone strategy on each account. For that reason, it is prohibited.

Arbitrage trading involves locking in low-risk or risk-free profits by exploiting price differences or timing gaps across platforms, feeds, or related instruments.

FunderBlu prohibits this because it exploits market or platform inefficiencies rather than real trading skill, thereby distorting fair pricing.

Key points

• Example: A trader buys and sells related instruments or venues based on temporary pricing gaps to capture near-risk-free profit.

Tick scalping is a very fast strategy focused on extremely small price changes, usually through a high number of entries and exits in a short time.

This type of trading can front-run normal market behavior, create unfair execution advantages, and strain liquidity and order handling. Because of that, FunderBlu places restrictions on it.

Key points

• Example: An automated setup enters and exits repeatedly within seconds to catch tiny moves before normal traders can react.

Latency trading means using delayed quotes, execution lag, or timing gaps to secure an unfair advantage or near-guaranteed profit.

This is prohibited because it does not reflect fair market participation. It exploits technical delays rather than market skill, which can distort price discovery.

Key points

• Example: A trader notices delayed execution, then places fast orders to benefit from the difference between the stale price and the live market price.

One-sided betting is when a trader builds too much exposure in one direction, opens several trades in the same direction, or reacts impulsively without enough technical, fundamental, or market context.

When most of the account's results depend on a single move or trade idea, that is not considered professional trading. It is considered luck-driven rather than a repeatable skill.

FunderBlu may require the trader to operate under a tighter risk framework, including the 1% Risk Rule, to restore disciplined risk management.

Key points

• If the trader refuses to operate under the required framework, platform access may be removed, and any refund rights would depend on the firm’s terms.

FunderBlu permits up to 2 aligned positions on the same instrument at any given time. This safeguard ensures controlled risk-taking.

This rule is designed to keep risk at a manageable level and prevent traders from overloading on one idea.

FunderBlu reserves the right to take appropriate action regarding accounts that breach this rule.

Using platform freezes, data freezes, demo-server errors, or similar technical issues to gain an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited.

If a technical issue occurs, traders should report it to FunderBlu support rather than trade around the error.

FunderBlu also restricts any method designed to create a guaranteed profit during low-liquidity periods, especially around the quiet transition between the U.S. and Asian sessions.

During low-liquidity conditions, the market can be more easily distorted. Strategies built around avoiding normal execution or forcing unrealistic fills during these periods violate the firm’s fair trading standards.

Account sharing means giving another person access to your FunderBlu account, or reselling it to someone else.

Device sharing with other traders is also prohibited, regardless of relationship. These restrictions exist for security, fairness, identity control, and compliance reasons.

FunderBlu applies a zero-tolerance approach to account sharing and device sharing.
