Detailed rules on prohibited trading practices

At BTF Prop Funding, we are committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and professional trading environment.

Any trading behavior that does not reflect real market conditions or attempts to exploit system limitations is strictly prohibited.

Generating risk-free profits, manipulating execution conditions, or abusing platform inefficiencies will result in an immediate violation of our Terms of Service — without prior warning.

All evaluation and funded accounts must be treated with the same discipline and responsibility as a real personal trading account.

Any strategy designed to “game” the system will lead to:

  • Immediate account termination

  • Forfeiture of all profits

  • Permanent ban from all BTF Prop Funding programs

The use of account management services, challenge-passing services, or unauthorized copy trading is strictly forbidden.
Detection of such behavior will result in permanent loss of access to our platform.


⚠️ Specific Examples of Prohibited Practices

High-Frequency Trading (HFT)

Using bots or automated systems to execute extremely high volumes of trades in milliseconds to exploit micro price movements.


Latency Trading

Exploiting execution delays or price feed discrepancies to gain unfair or risk-free advantages.


External Copy Trading

Copy trading is only allowed between accounts owned by the same trader.
Copying trades from other individuals or external sources is strictly prohibited.


Hedging Across Multiple Accounts

Opening opposite positions across different accounts (e.g., BUY on one account and SELL on another) is not allowed.


Multiple Account Hedging

Coordinating multiple accounts to offset risk or guarantee profit outcomes is not considered legitimate trading.


Tick Scalping

Executing high-frequency trades to capture minimal price movements in very short timeframes.


Grid Trading

Placing layered buy and sell orders without clear market direction or structured strategy.


Reverse Arbitrage

Exploiting price differences across brokers or exchanges to create artificial profit opportunities.


Group Trading

Coordinating identical trades across multiple accounts (same pair, timing, entry, and lot size).


Group Hedging

Working with others to place mirrored positions across accounts to guarantee profits.


Account Management

Only the account owner is allowed to trade.
Using external traders, signal providers, or automation services is strictly prohibited.


Martingale Strategy

Increasing position size after losses in an attempt to recover drawdown is not allowed.


High-Risk Trading Behavior

We do not tolerate excessive risk-taking, even if profitable.

Accounts may be flagged for:

  • Oversized positions relative to account balance

  • Repeated exposure to maximum drawdown limits

  • Trading without stop loss or using extremely wide stops

  • Overleveraging to chase short-term gains


⚖️ Final Note

Trading at BTF Prop Funding must always reflect discipline, consistency, and professional risk management.

Any account that fails to meet these standards — even if profitable — will be disqualified and permanently removed from the program.
