Trading rules

High-frequency trading

All accounts

You may not use ultra-fast execution to capture tiny price movements within milliseconds, whether by software or by hand.

Example of a breach

40 EURUSD positions in one session. Average hold three seconds, average result +0.4 pips, each entered within milliseconds of a tick moving. The pattern only works because of execution speed.

Is every short trade high-frequency trading?

No. No single factor decides it. The review considers speed, frequency, purpose and the full pattern together.

Separately, every position must be held for at least two minutes. That rule applies regardless. How long must I hold a trade?

What is reviewed

Execution speed, trade count, repeated durations, use of EAs and the overall pattern.

Possible outcome

Profit adjustment, payout rejection or account breach.
