Nordic Funder: Latency, front-running, account arbitrage, group hedging
▶Nordic Funder Forbidden Strategies: What Voids Your Account — 56s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Prohibited: exploiting latency/pricing errors, insider information, front-running, trading that jeopardizes the broker relationship or causes trade cancellations, third-party/challenge-passing strategies, strategy switching, account arbitrage (arbitraging an assessment account against another), group hedging (buy on one account and sell on another), and 'all-in' gambling/excessive leverage. Martingale/grid fall under the gambling/excessive-risk discretion.
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.
