Consequences of Rule Violations
For a minor first-time violation (for example, accidentally opening and closing a position within 60 seconds), the related trades will not be counted toward the challenge results, and a warning may be issued.
For repeated or serious violations (such as multi-account hedging, third-party account management, or exploit arbitrage), the challenge will fail, the account will be revoked, and the challenge fee will not be refunded.
The final determination is subject to the platform's review.
Multi-Account Trading
- Do not use multiple accounts for hedging, coordinated trading, copy trading, or other highly similar trading activities.
- If multiple accounts are found to have abnormal relationships or coordinated trading behavior (such as hedging, copy trading, or highly similar trading patterns), the related accounts may be subject to a risk management review.
