General Rules
Gambling
Margin Abuse
To promote responsible risk management and protect accounts from overexposure, we enforce a 65% margin usage limit. At no point should your open trades collectively use more than 65% of your total account margin. Exceeding this limit places the account at high risk and will result in violation of the trading rules, leading to immediate disqualification.
One-Sided Bets
One sided betting involves consistently placing trades in only one direction, such as only buying or only selling, regardless of market conditions. This approach increases risk and does not reflect balanced trading behavior. It is not allowed and may result in disqualification.
Hedging
Hedging is the act of opening opposite positions on the same instrument within a single account, such as buying and selling either simultaneously or in a close sequence. This practice is not allowed, as it manipulates risk and undermines genuine trading performance. Violations will result in disqualification.
Cross Account Hedging
Cross account hedging occurs when a trader opens opposing positions across multiple accounts, often to avoid losses or guarantee a win on one side. This is strictly prohibited and considered an abuse of the system. Accounts involved will be disqualified immediately.
HFT
High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is strictly prohibited within our program. HFT involves opening and closing trades within extremely short timeframes often just seconds to exploit micro price fluctuations.
While this may seem like a fast way to generate profits, it does not align with the goals or structure of a prop trading firm.

65% Margin Rule: You cannot use more than 65% of your available margin at any given time. This means you cannot commit more than $6,500,000 ($10,000,000 * 65%) to your opened trades at any given time.
Max Lot Size for a Trade: Forex lots are typically 100,000 units of the base currency. To find the max lot size, we calculate the maximum amount you can commit ($6,500,000) and divide it by the value of one lot for the pair you're trading. If we assume you're trading EURUSD where the current market price is 1.1345, the maximum lot size would be 6,500,000 / (1.1345 * 100,000) = 57.29 lots.
Note that the max lot size you can use changes with the account balance and the current market price.

Grid Trading
Grid trading is a strategy that involves placing a series of buy and sell orders at predefined price intervals, aiming to profit from market volatility without predicting direction. While it can generate frequent trades, it also carries high risk due to overexposure and lack of clear risk control.
This method is not allowed on our platform, as it can lead to margin abuse and undermine the purpose of skill-based trading. Use of grid trading will result in immediate disqualification.

Tick Scalping
Tick scalping is a strategy that involves opening and closing trades within seconds to capture small price movements, often just a few ticks.
It typically relies on rapid execution and aims to exploit minor price fluctuations rather than sound market analysis.This type of trading is not allowed on our platform.
Engaging in tick scalping will result in immediate disqualification.

Use of EAs and Bots
The use of trading bots or Expert Advisors (EAs) is not allowed on our platform. All trading must be done manually to ensure fairness and to accurately reflect the trader’s skill. Automated strategies, signal mirroring, or copy trading tools will result in immediate disqualification.
Multi-User Access
Sharing your account login credentials with anyone is strictly prohibited. Each account is meant for individual use only. Sharing passwords or allowing others to trade on your behalf will lead to immediate disqualification.
Copy Trading
Copy Trading includes manually duplicating trades or using software to mirror positions across accounts.
Each account must reflect independent decision-making and strategy. Copying trades removes that independence and defeats the purpose of evaluating a trader’s skill and risk management. It also opens the door to system abuse, especially when used to gain an advantage or reduce risk unfairly.
If we detect copy trading between accounts, all involved accounts will be disqualified. Every trader is expected to trade each account separately and responsibly.

Prohibited Practices
At XpertFunding, we aim to foster a reliable space where traders are rewarded for precision and discipline. The foundation of our platform is built on fairness and respect for risk. To maintain this standard, we discourage behaviors that compromise the spirit of true trading performance. Certain tactics not only increase exposure to loss but also interfere with an honest assessment of skill. These include:
Risk-Free Arbitrage
Engaging in risk-free arbitrage strategies that exploit price differences across brokers or markets to guarantee profit without genuine market exposure is not allowed. This practice bypasses the true challenge of trading skill and risk management.
Martingale Systems
Martingale strategies involve doubling position sizes after losses in an attempt to recover with one winning trade. This approach carries extreme risk, especially when used to force recovery or avoid failing a challenge. Due to its highly destructive potential and lack of long-term viability, martingale-style trading is not allowed.
Platform manipulation
This includes any attempt to exploit technical aspects of the trading platform, such as latency differences, price feed delays, slippage behavior, or server errors to gain an unfair advantage. These tactics may generate unrealistic profits or bypass normal risk exposure.
Circumventing Limitations
Any deliberate effort to bypass account rules in a way that technically avoids limits while violating their intent is strictly prohibited. The spirit of the rules matters just as much as the letter.
We may take necessary actions such as restarting the Challenge, or terminating the account. To protect the platform’s integrity, we reserve the right to impose tailored restrictions or conditions on accounts that exhibit suspicious or problematic trading behavior.
