Restricted Trading Practices

FundingCrypt evaluates trading skill. The practices below don't demonstrate skill — they exploit the structure of evaluations themselves. Using them voids the evaluation or funded account involved and forfeits any related payouts, regardless of the results shown on the account. These rules form part of our Terms of Service.

Opening opposite positions on the same or correlated instruments across two or more accounts — your own, or in coordination with other people ("group hedging") — so that one account passes or profits regardless of market direction. This includes hedging a FundingCrypt account against an account at another firm or a live exchange position when done as a pass-both-ways scheme.

Accounts are personal. Letting anyone else trade your account, trading someone else's, buying or selling accounts, or running the same strategy simultaneously across multiple people's accounts (copy-trading rings, signal-group mirroring at scale) is prohibited.

Deliberately exploiting data-feed anomalies, stale or frozen prices, latency, rounding behavior, or any malfunction of the platform. If you find a pricing or execution bug, report it — profits generated from a bug are removed.

Strategies whose only edge is variance across many cheap attempts — for example maximum-size single-direction bets intended to pass by luck, or intentionally breaching one account while an identical opposite bet runs elsewhere. Our consistency rule (below) enforces this at payout time.

Payouts require a track record, not one candle: at payout review, your single largest winning trade may not exceed 40% of your total winning PnL since funding. If one trade dominates your profits, keep trading normally and the ratio resolves itself — nothing is confiscated, the payout is simply deferred until your results demonstrate repeatability.

To be explicit, all of the following are fine: trading during news and volatile markets, holding overnight and over weekends, stop-losses and take-profits, scaling in and out, algorithmic or systematic trading you built yourself, and hedging within a single account as genuine risk management.

We review funded accounts and payout requests against these rules, including cross-account position and access-pattern analysis. Violations result in evaluation or account termination and payout forfeiture; evaluation fees for accounts terminated for abuse are not refunded. Honest mistakes get a conversation first — deliberate schemes don't.
