Prohibited trading strategies

  1. Engage in trading strategies that exploit errors in the services, including but not limited to inaccuracies in price displays or delays in price updates, regardless of whether such errors are known or unknown;
  2. Utilize high-frequency trading, perform bracketing strategies (opening pending orders) around high-impact news, or other exploitative methods;
  3. Engage in manipulative trading practices, including but not limited to executing trades, either independently or in collaboration with others, across connected accounts or accounts held with different entities, with the intention of manipulating, such as by simultaneously entering opposite positions;
  4. Engage a third party to complete a Funded Stars Challenge and Funded Account Program on your behalf;
  5. Execute trades that utilize adjustments applied to expiring futures instruments when transitioning to a new contract. Such trades will be counted upon crediting the adjustment and quoting the instrument at the prices of the new contract, subject to accurate calculation of the adjustment on the Platform;
  6. Execute trades that violate the Company’s Terms of Use and the Trading Platform’s rules;
  7. The use of strategies that guarantee the execution of limit orders at posted prices without slippage is prohibited, as such practices do not accurately reflect real market conditions and contradict the principles of realistic trading modeling;
  8. Employ excessive leverage or highly risky trading strategies;
  9. Transactions executed at non-market quotations will be canceled or will not be counted. Transaction cancellation involves restoring the Account Balance and other Account indicators to their values prior to the execution of the transaction at the non-market quote. Quotes may be deemed non-market quotes if they meet the following criteria:
    • The presence of a significant price gap.
    • The price returns to its initial level within a short period, forming a price gap.
    • The absence of rapid price movements before the appearance of the quote.
    • The absence of macroeconomic events or corporate news at the time of the quote’s appearance that significantly influence the instrument’s price.
