Help CenterQT | Futures maintains a strict policy to ensure fairness and integrity across all accounts. Please note the following prohibited strategies, any violations of these will result in a HARD BREACH of your Account(s) and any accrued profits made.
Order Book Spamming
While reasonable DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) on open positions is acceptable, excessively stacking limit orders—a practice known as Order Book Spamming—is considered an abuse of the simulated environment and will not be tolerated.
Fill Manipulation
Exploiting the lack of slippage in the sim environment through tight brackets or strategic order placement is not allowed.
Placing multiple identical limit orders to manipulate fills or simulate depth is considered manipulation and is prohibited.
Micro Scalping
40% or more of the total profits should not be generated from trades closed under 10 seconds
Account Rolling
We do not allow "Account Rolling" strategies, including but not limited to:
-
Taking max risk or max leverage trades with no stop loss, hitting Max Loss Limits (MLL), and immediately restarting with a new evaluation.
-
Account Stacking—passing and storing excessive numbers of funded accounts to cycle through when one is lost or withdrawn—is not allowed.
All-or-Nothing Approach
The "All-or-Nothing" approach refers to a high-risk and unsustainable trading style. It is characterized by several risky behaviors, including but not limited to:
Holding positions for extended periods without appropriate protective measures such as stop-loss orders.
Maintaining open trades during major news events without a stop-loss, exposing the account to extreme, unpredictable market volatility and potential large losses.
Using inappropriate or inconsistent risk management throughout the entire trading cycle.
This approach greatly increases the likelihood of severe drawdowns or total capital loss. Traders are strongly advised to adopt structured, disciplined, and consistent risk management practices to support long-term performance and account protection.
Reverse Trading
... or Hedging, meaning going short on one account, and long on the other is strictly prohibited. Long NQ and short MNQ on the same account is another example, and strictly prohibited.
Other Rules:
- Initiating trades to profit from isolated fills in gapped or illiquid markets is not allowed.
- All trading activities must adhere to CME Group's rules and regulations.
- Collaborating with others to execute identical or opposite strategies across unconnected accounts is prohibited. Also referred to as “Group Trading”.
Furthermore, we do not permit Account management services and all accounts and trades must be conducted by the trader whose name is associated with the account - you must utilize your OWN devices at all times.
