At FXRK, we are committed to maintaining a transparent, fair, and sustainable trading environment. For that reason, any strategy that exploits technical vulnerabilities or does not reflect real, consistent trading behavior in the financial markets is strictly forbidden.
Accounts engaging in such practices may be terminated without prior notice.
Reverse Arbitrage
What It Is:
Reverse arbitrage involves exploiting price differences between platforms or correlated assets not through legitimate market efficiency, but by taking advantage of execution delays or data lags.The trader acts on information that hasn’t yet been reflected on one platform, creating an artificial edge without taking on real market risk.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It distorts the evaluation process, compromises fairness among Traders, and risks system stability by basing trades on desynchronization rather than real analysis.
Example:
Buying an asset on FXRK where the price hasn’t updated yet, while selling it on another platform where the price increase has already been reflected.
Hedging Between Accounts
What It Is:
Hedging involves opening opposing positions on the same asset to reduce exposure.
While valid within a single account as a risk management strategy, it is prohibited between multiple accounts, even if owned by the same user or group.
This ensures that at least one account profits without real market exposure.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It prevents accurate evaluation of individual performance and turns the evaluation into a mathematical trick with no market exposure.
Example:
Going long on EUR/USD in one FXRK account while simultaneously going short on another.
Tick Scalping
What It Is:
This strategy involves opening and closing trades within seconds (often milliseconds) to capture tiny price movements (1–3 pips), usually using automated systems.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It overloads servers and exploits timing inefficiencies without applying real analysis or risk management, creating an unsustainable trading environment.
Example:
Executing 250 trades in one hour, each lasting less than 2 seconds, without any market logic.
Abusive Autotrading
What It Is:
Using EAs, bots, or algorithms to trade automatically. While automation is allowed if based on valid strategies, it becomes abusive when designed to overload the system or exploit technical loopholes (e.g., latency, tick scalping, unsynchronized data).
Why It’s Prohibited:
These setups do not reflect a Trader's skills and are meant to exploit the system rather than evaluate real trading ability.
Example:
A bot places 20 trades per minute nonstop, relying on server lag to generate micro-profits.
Latency Trading
What It Is:
Trading based on price delays between data sources.
The trader exploits milliseconds of lag between platforms to enter with an unfair advantage.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It creates artificial profits, destabilizes the platform, and violates fairness and transparency.
Example:
Seeing a gold price increase before it updates on FXRK, and entering a buy order based on that delay.
Martingale and Grid Strategies
What They Are:
Martingale: Increasing lot size after each loss, expecting one win to recover all losses.
Grid: Placing buy/sell orders at fixed intervals, hoping price movement alone leads to gains.
Why They’re Prohibited:
These strategies lead to uncontrolled exposure and extreme drawdowns, with no real analysis or sustainable risk control.
Example:
Doubling position size after three losses, continuing until one win recovers all losses at the risk of liquidation.
Hyperactive Trading
What It Is:
Excessive and constant execution or modification of trades/orders in a short time, with no clear strategy or technical reasoning.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It strains platform infrastructure, causes latency, and mimics robotic not human behavior.
Example:
Placing 300 trades and 1,000 order modifications in a single day, without any analysis.
Account Sharing
What It Is:
Allowing someone else to access or trade your account, using third-party Challenge-pass services, or copy-trading from unauthorized sources.
Why It’s Prohibited:
FXRK evaluates individual Traders. Account sharing violates KYC/AML protocols and compromises account integrity.
Example:
A user in Colombia hires a pro Trader in Vietnam to operate their account mismatched IPs and behavior patterns reveal the activity.
Exploiting Technical Errors
What It Is:
Taking advantage of technical glitches (price freezes, execution errors, zero spreads, data delays) to create artificial profits.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It doesn't reflect real skills, distorts results, and undermines trust in the platform.
Example:
During a server freeze, placing trades at frozen prices to profit from known movement not yet reflected.
Gambling (Trading Without Strategy)
What It Is:
Emotional, impulsive trading with no analysis revenge trading, overleveraging, random entries, or trading based on intuition or frustration.
Why It’s Prohibited:
FXRK promotes professionalism. Gambling leads to high failure rates, emotional burnout, and contradicts the program’s purpose.
Example:
After several losses, a Trader opens a huge, unplanned position without a stop loss, hoping to recover losses by chance.
Account Rolling
What It Is:
Buying multiple accounts to apply high-risk strategies, hoping that one passes. Abandoning funded accounts after poor performance to reset with a new one.
Why It’s Prohibited:
It turns trading into a numbers game, rather than rewarding consistent skill and responsibility.
Example:
A trader purchases five $25,000 evaluation accounts.
Instead of using a serious and controlled approach, they apply extremely risky strategies on all accounts, aiming for one to succeed by chance.
As a result:
Two accounts are quickly disqualified for violating the rules.
One account, due more to luck than skill, passes the challenge.
That account is funded, but the trader uses the same high-risk approach.
At the first significant drawdown, they abandon the funded account and buy a new evaluation account to repeat the cycle.
This behavior demonstrates a speculative and abusive use of the system, prioritizing volume and randomness over real trading skill and risk management.
It undermines the sustainability of the program and the integrity of the trading environment.
By avoiding these practices and focusing on consistent, strategic trading, you'll not only protect your account but also align with the core values of FXRK's professional trading environment.
