This includes arbitrage, latency trading, tick scalping, copy trading between users, hedging across accounts, gambling behavior, and high-frequency trading. Violations may result in account termination, profit cancellation, or permanent ban.


Overview

Brisk Markets is designed to identify skilled, disciplined, and consistent traders.

Any trading behavior that:

  • Exploits system weaknesses
  • Bypasses fair market conditions
  • Does not reflect real trading

…is strictly prohibited.


1. Gambling & Excessive Risk-Taking

Trading behavior that resembles gambling is not allowed.

Examples:

  • Risking a large portion of the account in one trade
  • Using extremely high lot sizes relative to account size
  • Taking trades that approach or exceed daily loss limits

Such behavior demonstrates lack of risk management and may result in account action.


2. High-Frequency & Ultra-Fast Trading

The following strategies are prohibited:

  • High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
  • Opening and closing trades within seconds
  • Excessive number of trades in a very short time

These practices:

  • Overload systems
  • Exploit execution speed
  • Do not reflect sustainable trading

3. Tick Scalping & Minimum Trade Duration Violation

  • Trades must be held for at least 5 minutes
  • Ultra-short trades designed to capture small price ticks are not allowed

⚠️ Trades closed below 5 minutes may be:

  • Invalidated
  • Removed from profit calculations

4. Arbitrage & Latency Exploitation

Strictly prohibited:

  • Arbitrage between platforms or price feeds
  • Latency trading (exploiting delays in execution)
  • Price feed manipulation

These strategies aim to generate risk-free profits, which are not allowed.


5. Copy Trading & Signal Abuse

Not allowed:

  • Copy trading between different users
  • Using third-party signal services
  • Sharing accounts or credentials

✔ Allowed:

  • Managing your own accounts

6. Hedging Across Multiple Accounts

  • Hedging within the same account may be allowed
  • Hedging across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited

Example:

  • Buy on Account A and sell on Account B → ❌ Not allowed

7. Strategy Inconsistency

Traders must maintain a consistent trading strategy.

Not allowed:

  • Using one strategy to pass the Challenge and switching after funding
  • Changing from manual trading to EA (or vice versa)
  • Drastically increasing risk after funding

8. Hyperactivity & Platform Abuse

Excessive activity such as:

  • Opening hundreds of trades per day
  • Constantly modifying orders (SL/TP spam)

May result in:

  • Warnings
  • Account restrictions
  • Suspension

9. Grid Trading & One-Sided Betting

Not allowed:

  • Grid strategies with uncontrolled risk exposure
  • One-directional “all-in” trading

These strategies rely on probability rather than skill.


10. Account Rolling & Multi-Account Abuse

  • Opening multiple accounts to increase chances of passing
  • Intentionally sacrificing accounts

This is considered abuse of the evaluation system.


11. Exploiting Platform Errors

Strictly prohibited:

  • Trading during server errors or price freezes
  • Exploiting technical issues

12. Trading During Low Liquidity Manipulation

  • Strategies exploiting low liquidity conditions to guarantee profits are not allowed
