To maintain a fair and secure trading environment, For Traders has established specific rules and guidelines. Below is an overview of the most pertinent information:

1. Prohibited Trading Strategies

For Traders strictly forbids trading practices that exploit the trading environment or deviate from standard market conditions. Such prohibited strategies include:

• Use of Automated Bots: Employing automated trading systems to execute trades without manual intervention.
• High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Executing numerous trades in rapid succession to exploit minor price discrepancies.
• 40% Margin Rule Violation: Utilizing more than 40% of the available margin for a single trade or multiple trades on the same instrument in the same direction. (This rule does not apply for Two-Step Pro Challenge)
• Arbitrage Trading: Taking advantage of price differences between markets or platforms to secure risk-free profits.
• Grid Trading: Placing buy and sell orders at set intervals above and below a set price, without regard to market direction.
• Tick Scalping: Profiting from minor price changes, often holding positions for very short durations.
• Hedging: Opening opposing positions on the same instrument to offset potential losses.
• Gambling: Engaging in trading behaviors that resemble gambling or reckless betting.

Engaging in these strategies may result in trade reversals, account restrictions, or termination.

2. News Trading Policy

For Traders allows news trading with specific conditions:

• Challenge Accounts: Traders can hold positions over news events but are prohibited from opening new trades within five minutes before and after a high-impact news release.
• Master Accounts: The same rule applies as in Challenge Accounts.

Violations may result in profit deductions or other penalties.

News trading is allowed for the Two-Step Pro Challenge both in Challenge and Funded phases.

3. Inactivity Rule

For Traders enforces an inactivity policy to ensure active participation:

• Challenge and Master Accounts: An account is considered inactive if there is no meaningful trading activity for 30 consecutive days. Minimal trades, such as 0.01 lots executed solely to meet the activity requirement, do not qualify as meaningful trading activity.
• Instant Master Accounts: The inactivity period is set to 7 days.

Accounts deemed inactive will be terminated.

4. Consequences of Rule Violations

Violations of For Traders' rules can lead to:

• Serious Violations: May result in immediate removal from the ongoing challenge and closure of all associated accounts.

Each violation is considered individually, distinguishing between intentional and unintentional actions.

Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining account eligibility. For the most detailed and up-to-date information, refer to For Traders' official Help Center.
