Prohibited trading practices

Latency and arbitrage exploitation

Using delayed or faster price feeds, or differences between servers, to lock in risk-free profit.

High-frequency and tick scalping

Opening and closing very large numbers of trades within seconds to exploit execution rather than market skill.

Account sharing and third-party trading

Anyone other than the account holder logging in or placing trades, including account managers and signal-sellers who control your account.

Copying trades to circumvent the rules

Copying trades between your own accounts, or from other traders, so that one account absorbs the risk and another collects the profit.

Hedging across accounts

Holding opposite positions on different accounts, yours or linked to others, to guarantee that one account succeeds.

Exploiting errors and loopholes

Trading on server errors, off-market prices, price feed glitches or swap loopholes.

Martingale and grid strategies that breach risk rules

Doubling down on losing positions so that exposure exceeds the 3% risk-per-trade limit.

Trading without a stop-loss

Every position must carry a stop-loss at the time it is opened.

Using multiple identities

Opening accounts under different names, emails or wallets to bypass limits or verification.

Consequences

We may close the account, cancel pending payouts and refuse future accounts. If you are unsure whether a strategy is allowed, email info@instantfunded.com before you trade it.
