Alpha Capital Group: Arbitrage, HFT & group trading
▶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.
What happens if you break it
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.
