At Tradentry, we are committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and realistic trading environment for all traders. To protect the integrity of our Evaluation Accounts and Funded Sim Accounts, certain behaviors and trading practices are strictly prohibited. These rules help ensure that traders operate responsibly and in a way that reflects real-market conditions.
Prohibited Conduct exists to:
Prevent behavior that is unrealistic or unsustainable in live markets
Protect the trading environment from rule circumvention, data manipulation, and exploitation
Ensure traders succeed based on skill, not system loopholes
Maintain fairness for all participants
Our goal is to prepare you for real market conditions. Allowing unrealistic or abusive strategies would not help yoand could harm the broader trading community.
Prohibited Conduct is not treated like normal evaluation rules.
Instead of an automatic failure, Tradentry reviews each case individually.
Depending on the severity, actions may include:
A warning
Deletion of the affected trading day
An account reset (free of charge)
Delay or denial of a payout
Permanent account closure
Tradentry will always consider context, intent, and prior behavior before making a decision.
Below is a summary of actions not allowed under any circumstances:
Using strategies designed to exploit errors, price delays, or system weaknesses
Trading outside the best bid / best offer (BBO)
Using slow, external, or manipulated data feeds to gain an unfair advantage
Engaging in disruptive practices such as spoofing
Taking trades that do not reflect realistic futures market behavior
Coordinating trades between multiple accounts or traders
Mirroring, hedging, or stacking strategies across accounts to spread or pool risk
Using opposite or identical entries simultaneously across multiple accounts
Using software, AI systems, or algorithmic tools designed to manipulate or improperly automate trades
Any form of ultra-high–speed mass order entry designed to game the simulated environment
Aggressively trading one account until it fails, then immediately switching to another to repeat the same high-risk behavior.
This is strictly prohibited and will result in account action.
Attempting to exploit platform bugs, latency, or pricing anomalies
Circumventing geographic or technical restrictions
Trading on behalf of others
Sharing payouts or incentives with third parties under any arrangement
Using strategies deemed unrealistic, irresponsible, or non-viable by the Tradentry risk team
Intentionally trading into major high-impact news with maximum size to exploit volatility
Holding positions within 2% of a product’s lock limit
Any action that violates Tradentry’s Terms of Use or Evaluation Account rules
Products may be traded during their standard electronic trading hours.
The Daily Loss Limit is a soft breach.
If your Net P&L hits the Daily Loss Limit during the trading session, your positions will be auto-liquidated.
You will be unable to trade until the next session opens.
This does not count as a rule violation, but is an automatic safety mechanism.
