4.6. PROHIBITED TRADING PRACTICES AND ENFORCEMENT
You agree not to engage in any unfair, abusive, manipulative, or otherwise harmful activity on the Platform. Without limitation, this includes:
- market manipulation, such as wash trading, spoofing, pump-and-dump schemes, coordinated price or volume actions, arbitrage-based abuse, or any conduct that may distort fair or orderly simulated market conditions;
- exploiting technical or service vulnerabilities, including unauthorized use of bots, scripts, APIs, automation tools, or other methods designed to gain an unfair advantage, circumvent Challenge rules, or disrupt the Services;
- any other conduct which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, may harm the integrity of the Platform, the Challenge evaluation process, or other users.
You further acknowledge and agree that participation in Challenges is subject to predefined evaluation parameters, including, without limitation, daily drawdown limits, maximum drawdown limits, and target performance objectives applicable to each stage. You must comply with such limits and objectives at all times.
During Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the evaluation process,
the simultaneous opening of opposing directional positions on the same instrument across different Challenges or Accounts (for example, a BUY position in one Challenge and a SELL position in another) is prohibited, as such behaviour may constitute a conflict with the evaluation methodology and may result in the cancellation, suspension, or termination of one or more Accounts.
The use of arbitrage strategies, manipulative behaviour, or other forms of unfair or bad-faith trading is strictly prohibited at all stages.
Where a User is granted access to a Live Account stage, the User may apply any trading approach permitted under the applicable rules. The use of exposure-offsetting or position-balancing techniques is not restricted per se; however, the opening of fully identical opposing positions solely to neutralise exposure or generate artificial results is discouraged due to the absence of meaningful trading effectiveness and may be taken into account for assessment or risk-management purposes.
The Company may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, take any measures it deems necessary to protect market integrity and other users, including:
- restricting, suspending, or terminating your access to the Services;
- freezing, limiting, cancelling, or reversing simulated orders or results;
- disabling your trading permissions or related access rights; and
- temporarily assuming control of your Account, including closing or modifying open positions, where required to prevent or mitigate harm.
You agree to cooperate with any investigation by the Company or competent authorities. The Company shall not be liable for any loss arising from actions taken in good faith under this Clause 4.6.
