What is FunderPro's hft & latency arbitrage rule?

High-frequency trading is permitted as long as it does not exploit system latency or discrepancies in the external data feed. Pure latency/feed arbitrage is prohibited. Watch out: The line is intent: fast trading is fine, but strategies whose edge IS the firm's slow price feed (tick scalping arbitrage, feed lag exploitation) get voided as gaming the simulation.
