Audacity Capital: HFT, tick scalping, hedging, martingale, grid
▶Audacity Capital Forbidden Strategies: Scalping Trap Explained — 48s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Prohibited: HFT, tick scalping (open+close within ~2 minutes triggers risk review), hedging (within or across accounts), arbitrage (incl. latency), martingale, dollar-cost-averaging / grid, lot-size abuse and third-party account management. A hard cap of 10 lots per open position applies.
The gotcha
Scalping is nominally allowed but sub-2-minute trades trigger risk-team review, and there's a 10-lot-per-position hard cap.
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.
