Last update:
This article describes the behaviors and strategies that are not allowed within the FXRK evaluation program.
The purpose of these rules is to maintain a transparent, fair, and sustainable trading environment, where results reflect real trading skills, proper risk management, and potentially replicable strategies.
Any strategy that exploits technical vulnerabilities or does not represent real and consistent trading activity in financial markets is strictly prohibited.
Accounts that engage in these practices may be suspended or terminated according to the program rules.
Reverse Arbitrage
What it is
Reverse arbitrage involves exploiting price differences between platforms or correlated assets by using delays in execution or data updates.
The trader acts on information that has not yet been reflected on one platform, gaining an artificial advantage without assuming real market risk.
Why it is prohibited
It distorts the evaluation process, compromises fairness between traders, and relies on technical desynchronization rather than real market analysis.
Example
Buying an asset on FXRK while its price has not yet updated, while simultaneously selling it on another platform where the price increase has already been reflected.
Hedging Between Accounts
What it is
Hedging consists of opening opposite positions on the same asset to reduce or eliminate market exposure.
Although hedging can be used as a risk management technique within a single account, it is prohibited between different accounts, even if they belong to the same user or a coordinated group.
This behavior attempts to guarantee that at least one account will profit without real market exposure.
Why it is prohibited
It prevents proper evaluation of the individual performance of the trader and turns the evaluation into a mathematical outcome without real market exposure.
Example
Opening a buy position on EUR/USD in one FXRK account while opening a sell position in another account at the same time.
Tick Scalping
What it is
A strategy that involves opening and closing trades within seconds or even milliseconds to capture extremely small price movements, typically 1 to 3 pips.
Why it is prohibited
This type of activity may overload servers and exploits temporary system inefficiencies without applying real analysis or risk management.
Example
Executing 250 trades within one hour, each lasting less than 2 seconds, without clear market logic.
Abusive Autotrading
What it is
The use of Expert Advisors, bots, or algorithms that trade automatically.
While automation is allowed when based on legitimate strategies, it becomes abusive when designed to overload the system or exploit technical weaknesses, such as latency, tick scalping, or desynchronized data.
Why it is prohibited
These configurations do not reflect the trader’s real skill and aim to exploit the system instead of demonstrating trading ability.
Example
A bot executing 20 trades per minute continuously based on server delays to generate micro profits.
Latency Trading
What it is
Trading based on delays between different data sources or trading platforms.
The trader exploits milliseconds of difference in price updates to enter the market with a technical advantage.
Why it is prohibited
It generates artificial profits, affects platform stability, and breaks the fairness of the trading environment.
Example
Detecting a price increase in gold on an external feed before it updates on FXRK and opening a buy order based on that delay.
Martingale and Grid Strategies
What it is
Martingale involves increasing position size after each loss with the expectation that a winning trade will recover all previous losses.
Grid trading involves opening multiple buy or sell orders at fixed price intervals, expecting normal market movement to generate profits.
Why it is prohibited
Both strategies can generate uncontrolled exposure and large drawdowns without relying on real analysis or sustainable risk management.
Example
Doubling the position size after several consecutive losses hoping that one favorable trade will recover all previous losses.
Hyperactive Trading
What it is
Excessive and continuous execution or modification of trades within a short period of time without clear technical justification.
Why it is prohibited
This behavior can create excessive load on platform infrastructure and generate trading patterns that do not correspond to normal human trading activity.
Example
Executing 300 trades and 1,000 order modifications in a single day without market analysis.
Account Sharing
What it is
Allowing another person to access or trade the account, using third-party services to pass challenges, or copying trades from unauthorized sources.
Why it is prohibited
FXRK accounts are personal, and the program evaluates the individual performance of each trader.
Account sharing compromises security, verification processes, and evaluation integrity.
Example
A user allows another trader to operate their account from a different location using shared credentials.
Exploiting Technical Errors
What it is
Attempting to benefit from platform malfunctions, such as frozen prices, execution errors, abnormally low spreads, or delayed data.
Why it is prohibited
This behavior generates artificial results and does not represent real trading skills.
Example
Opening trades during a server freeze at prices that do not reflect real market movement.
Gambling (Trading Without Strategy)
What it is
Impulsive or emotional trading without a defined strategy.
This includes:
Revenge trading
Excessive leverage
Random entries
Decisions based on frustration or intuition
Why it is prohibited
FXRK promotes a professional trading environment based on analysis, risk management, and consistency.
Gambling behavior often leads to rapid losses and prevents proper evaluation of real trading skills.
Example
After several losses, opening a large position without analysis or stop loss hoping to recover previous losses.
Account Rolling
What it is
Purchasing multiple accounts to apply high-risk strategies in the hope that one of them will pass the evaluation.
It may also involve abandoning funded accounts after a drawdown to restart the process with new accounts.
Why it is prohibited
It turns trading into a probability game instead of rewarding consistent skills and responsible risk management.
Example
A trader buys multiple evaluation accounts and applies extremely risky strategies to all of them hoping that at least one will pass by chance.
Final Recommendation
Avoiding these practices and focusing on consistent, disciplined trading based on real analysis is essential to maintain an active account within FXRK.
