What is scalping?
Scalping is a trading strategy where a trader opens and closes positions within very short timeframes to capture small price movements.
Is scalping allowed?
Scalping, defined as opening and closing trades within a very short timeframe, is not permitted. All trades must be held for a minimum of 3 minutes (180 seconds) from the time they are opened. Any trades closed before this duration may be considered a violation of the trading rules.
What happens if I violate this rule?
If a trade is closed before the 3-minute minimum holding time, it may be flagged as a rule violation. Repeated occurrences could lead to account review or further action.
If scalping is in detected in your account, your account may be subject to the following:
Profits from the violating trades may be forfeited
Payout requests may be denied
Your challenge result may be invalidated
Progress in the verification stage may be rejected
Your account may be suspended or permanently terminated
Does the scalping rule apply to all trade types and instruments?
Yes, the minimum holding time applies to all trades across all instruments.
Can I modify my trade within the 3-minute window?
Yes, you can manage your trade by adjusting stop-loss or take-profit levels at any time. However, the trade itself must remain open for at least 3 minutes before it can be closed.
