Other rules

Cheating Is Prohibited
‍Of course, any trading styles that are deemed as "cheating" are not permitted and will result in a violation of our Terms of Service. For this reason, it is against our rules to take advantage of strategies that generate risk-free, consistent profits only on demo accounts. Our Funded Traders are expected to be trading on their accounts as if they are live accounts. Any use of a strategy that takes advantage of demo accounts will result in the closure of a Funded Trader’s account, whether in the evaluation phase or while funded.
​
‍‍Example Strategies That Violate Our Rules
​- Use of platform or data freezing due to a Demo Server error.
- Use of a delayed data feed
- Trading on delayed charts
- Tick scalping, high frequency trading, arbitrage bots
– Reverse arbitrage
– Latency arbitrage
– Hedge arbitrage or any emulators are prohibited.
​
Trades held for under 2 minutes may be classified as tick scalping. On funded accounts, profits generated from this type of trading may be subject to removal in accordance with our trading policies.

These are the most common strategies that we have seen people use to take advantage of demo accounts, though this list does not represent all possible strategies that would go against our trading rules. If any account is seen to be using unfair strategies or an unrealistic trading style, they will not be eligible to be funded.

​
​Margin Usage / Gambling Policy:

AquaFunded does not allow excessive margin usage or “all or nothing” trading.
​

A trader must not use more than 80% of the available margin on their account in a single trade or trading position.
​

If margin usage exceeds 80%, the trade will be considered a violation of our margin usage rule, regardless of whether the trade is profitable or unprofitable.
​

Any profits generated from trades that violate the 80% margin usage rule will be deducted.
​

This rule is designed to prevent trading that places an excessive proportion of the account at risk and does not demonstrate appropriate risk management.
​

Repeated or severe violations may result in further account action, including a reset or breach.
