▶The5ers Hidden Void Rules: 5 Ways Accounts Get Terminated — 49s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Also banned: bracketing around news; one-sided/single-direction bets; 'gambling-like' disproportionate sizing with no stop-loss or analysis; over-leveraging your whole margin into one pair; artificial profit distribution (opposing/correlated trades to fake green days); cross-operator hedging across firms; and account sharing/reselling or managing accounts for profit-share.
The gotcha
'Disproportionate position sizing' — trades much larger or smaller than your usual activity — can be flagged after the fact even if no other rule was broken. Consequence: termination, no refund or profit, permanent ban.
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.
