Prohibited Conduct at Tradentry

⚠ Unrealistic or Abusive Trading Behavior

• Using strategies designed to exploit errors, price delays, or system weaknesses.
• Trading outside the best bid/best offer, also known as BBO.
• Using slow, external, or manipulated data feeds for unfair advantage.
• Engaging in disruptive practices such as spoofing.
• Taking trades that do not reflect realistic futures market behavior.

⚡ Excessive Micro-Scalping & Volume Churning (Evaluation & Funded Accounts)

• Systematically entering at or near maximum contract size and closing again almost immediately for a few ticks of profit, over and over.
• Grinding dozens of near-instant trades per day to inch toward a target, with no identifiable setup, no stop-loss, no profit objective, and no risk management behind the trades.
• This style does not survive real market execution (fills, slippage, liquidity) and is treated as non-viable trading on evaluation and funded accounts. There is no fixed time limit; what counts as excessive is judged case by case by the Tradentry risk team.
• Flagged accounts are reviewed by the Tradentry risk team and are subject to the enforcement actions listed above: on evaluations up to disqualification, and on funded accounts up to payout denial and account closure.

🔁 Gaming the Consistency Target (Evaluation Accounts)

• Repeatedly opening and closing positions for the sole purpose of managing or manipulating your Consistency Target, keeping your best trading day under 50% of the profit target, rather than trading a genuine setup.
• Artificially splitting, smoothing, or spreading your profit and loss across extra entries, exits, or trading days to engineer a consistency figure you did not trade naturally.
• Placing token, filler, or non-genuine trades purely to dilute your best day or nudge the consistency ratio in your favor.
• Any in-and-out churning whose primary intent is to satisfy the Consistency Target rather than to trade the market is treated as non-viable, manipulative trading. Flagged accounts are reviewed by the Tradentry risk team and may have the Evaluation Account disqualified.

🔗 Manipulative or Coordinated Trading

• Colluding with other traders to coordinate trades across accounts.
• Hedging or stacking opposite entries across accounts to spread or pool risk, or to game the risk model.

Note: copy trading the same strategy across your own Tradentry accounts is allowed.

⚙ Use of Unauthorized Tools or Automation

• Using software, AI systems, algorithmic tools, bots, or any form of automated trade execution. All orders must be placed and managed manually.
• Any form of ultra-high-speed mass order entry designed to game the simulated environment.

▣ Account Stacking

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.

💻 Misuse of Platform, Data, or System Bugs

• Attempting to exploit platform bugs, latency, or pricing anomalies.
• Circumventing geographic or technical restrictions.

🚫 Uncommercial or Unethical Activity

• 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.

📈 News & Market Limit Behavior

• Intentionally trading into major high-impact news with maximum size to exploit volatility.
• Holding positions within 2% of a product’s lock limit.

📄 General Rule Conflicts

Any action that violates Tradentry’s Terms of Use or Evaluation Account rules.
