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: You are permitted to copy trades between your own accounts (provided all accounts are registered under your name). This is not considered a violation.
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.
