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.
