Help CenterAt OFP Funding, we want traders to showcase real, consistent skills. To keep evaluations fair, certain strategies that exploit the system instead of showing ability are strictly prohibited.
❌ Prohibited Strategies
The following are not allowed under any circumstances:
-
Hedging / Straddling → opening opposite positions on the same or multiple accounts to eliminate risk.
-
Arbitrage → exploiting price feed delays, external data sources, or latency differences.
-
High-Frequency Trading (HFT) / AI Bots → using automated systems, mass-order entry, or latency-based scalping to create unfair advantage.
-
Martingale / Grid Systems → massively increasing position sizes after losses to “recover” quickly.
-
Trading around news events to exploit gaps (e.g., placing both buy/sell pending orders before announcements).
-
Copy Trading / Account Mirroring → duplicating trades across multiple OFP accounts or copying signals to artificially boost performance.
-
Third-Party Account Management → trading on behalf of someone else or allowing others to trade your account.
-
Abnormal Risk Practices → using irregular or excessively large lot sizes inconsistent with account size and risk rules.
-
Exploiting Platform Errors → taking advantage of price display glitches, order execution issues, or technical delays.
⚠️ Consequences of Breaching
-
Immediate closure of your account.
-
Forfeiture of payouts or Rewards.
-
Possible ban from the platform for repeated or severe violations.
✅ What Is Allowed
You’re free to use legitimate trading styles such as:
-
Swing trading
-
Day trading
-
Scalping (within normal execution limits)
-
Trend following / reversal strategies
-
Risk-managed discretionary trading
As long as your strategy reflects genuine trading skill and respects risk limits, it’s permitted.
