Microscalping is a strategy in which traders execute trades that last only a few seconds, seeking to take advantage of very small movements of only a few ticks or points. ⏰🌐
In Tradofunded, this trading strategy is not allowed and is set as an operational parameter:
Strategies with a duration per trade of less than 1 minute are prohibited.
However, this does not mean that you cannot have an occasional trade of this type, either due to special market circumstances or if you mistakenly opened a position in the wrong asset or size. It is important to note that we account for all trades, regardless of whether the result was positive or negative.
📐📈 How do we measure this? If 20% or less of your trades and/or profits during the period are scalping, you are within the allowance. This calculation is done at two points in time, when you request a withdrawal and when your request arrives after you meet the requirements to upgrade to a Virtual Live account.
