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

1. Prohibited Trading Strategies

Exclusive Markets strictly forbids trading practices that exploit the simulated trading environment or deviate from real-market conditions. Such prohibited strategies include:

• High-Frequency Trading (HFT): Utilizing algorithms or automated systems to execute numerous trades rapidly, potentially leading to market manipulation.​
• Latency Arbitrage: Exploiting time delays between trading venues to gain unfair advantages.
• Abuse of Delayed Data Feeds or Simulated Environment: Utilizing delayed data or executing large-volume trades without a logical strategy to gain unfair advantages.​
• Martingale Trading: Increasing investment size after each simulated loss to recover previous losses, posing significant risks.​

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

2. News Trading Policy

Trading on challenge accounts during high impact news is permitted. Clients are restricted from opening and closing any trade 4 minutes before and 4 minutes after the news only on Funded Accounts. This includes both Market Execution and opening/closing Pending Orders (including take profit and stop loss).

3. Gambling & Reckless Trading Behavior

Exclusive Markets prohibits trading behaviors that resemble gambling or reckless betting, including:​

• Punting: Placing a small number of large, high-risk trades without a structured strategy.​
• Overleveraging: Using excessive margin on a single trade, risking significant losses from minor market movements.​
• Overexposure: Taking large positions in highly correlated assets, falsely assuming diversification.​
• All-In Strategies: Risking a large percentage of the account balance on one trade without proper risk management.​
• Doubling Down (Martingale): Increasing trade sizes after losses to recover quickly, increasing risk exposure.​
• Excessive High-Frequency Scalping: Opening and closing trades within seconds without a sustainable long-term strategy.​

Traders engaging in these practices may face warnings, trade restrictions, resets, or account termination.​

4. Consequences of Rule Violations

Violations of Exclusive Markets' trading rules can lead to account breaches, resulting in the inability to continue trading on the account.​

Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining account eligibility. For the most detailed and up-to-date information, refer to Exclusive Markets’ official Terms of Service and FAQ section.
