Funding Traders: Grid, hedge, HFT, ultra-short holding

ForbiddenVoids accountHidden ruleVerifiedUpdated Jun 5, 2026

Prohibited: grid trading, hedge trading, HFT (trades ≤15 seconds), cross-account/cross-owner hedging, copying or identical strategies under different ownership, and toxic/abusive order behavior. A volume-weighted holding time (VWHT) under 2 minutes flags the account for review as unrealistic trading.

The gotcha

VWHT under 2 minutes is a soft trap — it triggers a discretionary review rather than an instant breach, but gives the firm grounds to act.
