Prohibited trading practices (full list)

1. Simulated environment abuse

• Exploiting price latency, stale quotes, or platform bugs.
• Firing very large notional size without a coherent strategy purely to farm variance.
• Repeated 'test' orders designed to probe execution rather than trade the market.

2. Hedging

• Opening two opposite positions on the same asset — within one account, between your own accounts, or across different traders' accounts — is prohibited regardless of lot size or claimed risk.
• This includes coordinated group hedging (one trader long, another short, same asset, same window).

3. Copy-trading and trade duplication

• Duplicating trades (manually or via automation) from one EvalTrade account to another — funded to eval, eval to eval, or between two funded accounts — is prohibited.
• This includes duplicating trade IDEAS in near-identical timing/size, not just automated copiers.
• After you've passed independently on each account, you may KEEP them separate or request they be combined by support.

4. Front-running, insider info, and regulatory risk

• Front-running trades placed elsewhere is prohibited.
• Trading on non-public/insider information is prohibited.
• Any activity that creates regulatory or broker-relationship risk for EvalTrade may lead to termination.
