▶Alpha Capital Group Forbidden Trading Methods: Account Void Risk — 45s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Prohibited: arbitrage, latency trading, HFT, front-running the price feed, exploiting mispriced/unrealistic quotes, order-book spamming, reverse/group hedging, group/signal trading and account-management services — the account must be traded by the named owner.
The gotcha
A breach can strip the entire payout window's profits and disqualify you from advancing to Qualified, on top of agreement termination.
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
