Are Hedging, Martingale, HFT, and No-Stop-Loss Strategies Permitted?

Updated today

The following trading standards apply to all accounts:

Hedging, HFT, and Martingale Strategies

Hedging, High-Frequency Trading (HFT), and martingale-based strategies are not allowed. This includes grid systems or any approach that increases position size after losses or relies on rapid, high-volume order execution. Such strategies are considered excessive risk escalation and are prohibited.

Use of Stop-Loss Orders

Stop-loss orders are optional. Traders may choose to trade without a stop-loss; however, full responsibility remains with the trader to manage risk and remain within all applicable limits, including maximum drawdown and floating PnL thresholds.

Risk Management and Trading Behavior

Traders are expected to follow disciplined and responsible risk management practices. Gambling-style behavior is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Opening positions that are significantly larger than your usual trade size
    ​

  • Placing an unusually high or unusually low number of trades compared to your normal strategy
    ​

  • Engaging in erratic or inconsistent trading patterns intended to recover losses quickly

We periodically conduct risk assessments, which may include interviews to verify trading behavior. Non-compliance with these assessments may result in withheld payouts or service termination.
