How We Analyze Trading Activity
Our Risk Team utilizes an automated Pattern Correlation System to ensure compliance. This system cross-references your trading data against multiple data sets, including our internal proprietary database of trader behavior and external databases provided by our third-party risk management partners.
Rather than looking at a single entry time, we analyze the structural integrity of your trading history:
Strategy Originality: We verify if your order parameters reflect independent market analysis or if they statistically mirror the specific instruction sets found in third-party signal services.
Group Trading Patterns: We detect clusters of trades that align with third-party recommendations.
Dependence Ratio: We calculate the percentage of your total profits derived from these correlated events versus your own independent ideas.
Trade Adjustment (Profit Deduction): If specific trades are flagged as a direct match with known signal providers or group trading patterns, the profit generated from those specific trades will be deducted to maintain the fairness of the challenge. The account remains active.
Disqualification: Accounts that demonstrate a High Dependence Ratio (where the majority of the account's performance relies on external signals rather than original strategy) will be disqualified.
Exceptions
Copying Your Own Trades
Copying trades between accounts registered in your own name is not, by itself, third-party copy trading.
This does not authorize the use of copy trading (including a copier, VPS, or equivalent tool) to circumvent the maximum Virtual Capital, the maximum plan size, or any risk parameter.
Prohibited example: operating two Instant accounts of US$ 25,000 as if they were a single Instant account of US$ 50,000. Instant is not offered at US$ 50,000. Simulated results generated by this circumvention may be disqualified, and the affected accounts may be terminated.
The Risk team may measure exposure on an aggregated basis across your accounts (Risk per Trade Idea): identical or substantially similar positions in the same asset (or correlated assets) across more than one account may be treated as a single risk event.

Why do we have this rule?
We are looking for individuals who can manage risk and generate profits independently. Relying on third parties creates a risk profile that we cannot back.
