At The Skilled Trader, maintaining a fair and transparent trading environment is our top priority.
Any trading style or activity considered deceptive or unrealistic is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate breach of our Terms of Service.

Our traders are expected to manage their evaluation and funded accounts with the same discipline and integrity as they would on a live trading account.
Any attempt to exploit simulated environments, system inefficiencies, or price feeds will result in the closure of the account, whether during the evaluation or funded stage.


🚫 Examples of Strategies That Violate Our Rules:

  • Using platform freezing or demo server data errors to gain an advantage.

  • Trading with delayed data feeds or delayed charts.

  • High-frequency trading (HFT) or tick scalping that exploits micro price movements.

  • Arbitrage trading, including latency and reverse arbitrage.

  • Hedging arbitrage or the use of emulators to mirror positions.

  • Massive accumulation of positions in short periods without market logic.

  • Unilateral betting or placing directional trades without any technical or risk-based justification.


All traders are required to use realistic and professional strategies.
Violating any of these rules will lead to permanent termination of all active accounts and disqualification from future participation.
