Prohibited: microscalping (flagged if >50% of profits come from trades held ≤5 seconds — genuine scalping is allowed), HFT (high order volume in seconds/ms; first offense warning, repeat = profits removed + ban), and hedging (opposing positions on the same instrument across accounts/users/firms). Martingale is strongly discouraged but not banned; DCA/scaling-in and 'flipping' are allowed.
The gotcha
Microscalping/HFT detection forfeits the profits, not just the trade — a real trap for tick scalpers and bot users.
| microscalp | >50% profit from ≤5s trades |
