At OnlyFundsFX, we are committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and stable trading environment for all participants. As part of our risk control framework, especially within the Algorithmic Affair account type, we strictly prohibit the use of latency arbitrage strategies.
What Is Latency Arbitrage?
Latency arbitrage is a strategy that attempts to exploit pricing discrepancies that occur due to delays in market data feeds between brokers, platforms, or liquidity providers.
These strategies often involve:
Using ultra-fast systems or colocation services to detect price mismatches
Placing trades on slower platforms before prices adjust
Capitalizing on milliseconds of delay between price discovery and execution
⚠️ This type of trading does not reflect genuine market strategy or skill—it exploits infrastructure.
🚫 Prohibited Use of Latency Arbitrage
Latency arbitrage is strictly forbidden on all OnlyFundsFX accounts, including Algorithmic Affair. This applies to:
Manual or automated strategies that react to stale price data
Use of delayed market feeds to front-run prices
Bot activity designed to act faster than our internal price synchronization
