What are the Prohibited Trading Rules

At FundYourFX, we are looking for talented individuals who bring their own unique trading systems and strategies. These traders will be highly rewarded, and we are committed to supporting them throughout their trading journey. Our programs are designed to accommodate a wide range of speculative trading strategies.

However, certain trading practices that exploit or abuse our systems and programs are strictly prohibited and considered a violation of our Terms and Conditions. These restrictions apply to both the evaluation phases and funded accounts.

Prohibited Trading Strategies
Violating these rules will result in immediate termination of your relationship with FundYourFX and/or the suspension, blocking, or restriction of access to our services. Refunds or profits will not be processed, and violators will be permanently banned.

1. • Exploitation of Price Discrepancies (Arbitrage Trading)
     Example: A trader identifies price differences for the same asset across two exchanges and exploits this discrepancy by buying and selling the asset to make a profit.
   • High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
     Example: Using algorithms to execute trades within milliseconds to take advantage of small price movements.

1. • Bracketing Around High-Impact News
     Example: Placing both buy and sell pending orders around the market price before a major news release to profit from subsequent volatility.

1. • Exploiting System Errors
     Example: Taking advantage of incorrect price quotes or delays in updates due to technical glitches.

1. • Trade Coordination or Copy Trading
     Example: Collaborating with other traders or accounts to execute identical trades and amplify profits.

1. • Exploiting Price Feed During Rollover (EA Scalping)
     Example: Using Expert Advisors to capitalize on minor price discrepancies during the low-liquidity rollover period.

1. • Using EAs from Third-Party Providers
     Example: Deploying an EA where the trader does not own the source code or where identical strategies are used by multiple traders.

1. • Tick Scalping
     Example: Rapidly entering and exiting trades within seconds based on minor tick-level price movements.

1. • Hedge Arbitrage Trading
     Example: Simultaneously buying and selling the same currency pair across different accounts to exploit temporary pricing inefficiencies.

1. • Reverse Arbitrage Trading

1. • Account Sharing or Reselling
     Example: Sharing or selling access to your funded account for profit or allowing others to trade on your account.

1. • Account Management Services (“Pass Your Challenge”)
     Example: Services that manage evaluation accounts on behalf of traders to pass challenges in exchange for a share of the profits.

 

VTS rules (Applicable for Instant Funded Plans Only) 

Daily Profit Cap: You cannot exceed 25% of your profit target in a single day.

Example: If your target is $8,000, the maximum profit you can make in one day is $2,000.

Trading Size: There are no restrictions on lot sizes or position sizes—you can trade freely.

 

If your account is found to be abusing our systems or violating these rules, FundYourFX will take immediate action, including terminating the relationship, blocking access to our services, and withholding any refunds or profits. Offenders will be permanently banned from FundYourFX.

 

Martingale strategy:

At FundYourFX, you are allowed to use the Martingale strategy. However, we strongly advise against it because it carries very high risks. This strategy involves increasing trade sizes after losses, which can lead to significant drawdowns and put your account at serious risk. While you are free to choose your own trading style, we recommend using strategies that focus on managing risk and protecting your account over the long term.
