While we don’t enforce strict time-based rules on every trade, it’s important to note that trades held for less than 3 minutes may come under review. This applies to both evaluation and funded accounts.
Why is this important?
The goal of this policy is to support fair, sustainable trading and discourage patterns that are considered outside the spirit of our program. In particular, relying on ultra-short-duration trades to generate fast profits or pass trading day requirements may be flagged as inconsistent with the expectations of realistic trading behaviour.
Activity that may be reviewed
Accounts may be flagged for review if we identify patterns such as:
Repeated use of very short-duration trades as a core strategy
Tick scalping or high-frequency-style execution
Opening a series of placeholder trades, followed by a large-lot trade closed within seconds
Using short trades primarily to meet minimum trading days or force quick profit targets
Will short trades always lead to a breach?
No. Occasional short trades are not automatically penalised, especially when they’re part of a broader, diversified strategy.
However, if sub-3-minute trades become your primary method of generating profits or progressing through the program, your account may be reviewed. If the behaviour is determined to be outside program guidelines, the following actions may be taken:
Profits withheld
Account paused or suspended
Ineligibility for payout
Our approach
We aim to maintain a fair and transparent environment that rewards consistent, measured trading. These guidelines are in place to ensure that all traders are evaluated against clear, realistic expectations.
