Are there prohibited trading strategies?

Updated 2 weeks ago

At Zibrock, we’re looking for real, independent traders who know how to adapt their strategies to all kinds of market conditions. Traders like this will get well rewarded, and we’ll support them every step of the way.

But just so you know, any trading styles meant to game or abuse our system and software are strictly banned. Doing this is a massive violation of our Terms and Conditions.

Trading Style Violations Arbitrage Trading: Making money off price differences or technical glitches in the system.

HFT (High-Frequency Trading): Super fast trading where most of your trades last just a few seconds or less.

News Bracketing: Setting opposite pending orders on both sides of the price right before major news drops. This is a hard breach.

Exploiting System Errors: Purposefully or accidentally taking advantage of any system bugs or glitches.

Copy Trading: Copying or coordinating your trades with other traders or accounts.

Trade Size Outlier Detection: Suddenly blowing up your lot size. For example, if 90% of your trades are 0.1 lots, but then you randomly open a 3-lot trade. That’s not a strategy, it’s just gambling.

One-sided Bets: Betting everything on just one direction.

Rollover Scalping: Using EAs (robots) that try to profit from price jumps at midnight (during rollover time).

Third-Party Robots: Using ready-made bots that other traders are also using, which open the exact same trades.

Bots Without Source Code: Using an EA when you don't own its source code. Using any EA without the company's permission will get your account shut down.

Tick Scalping: Scalping by catching the smallest possible price movements (ticks).

Hedge/Reverse Arbitrage: Doing arbitrage by using opposite accounts.

Account & General Violations Account Sharing: Selling your account to someone else or letting others use it.

AI and Mass Data: Using ultra-fast software or AI that manipulates the market or gives you an unfair advantage.

Bypassing Sanctions: Trying to get around geographical or technical restrictions.

Trading for Others: Managing other people's money or taking part in account management deals.

Intentional IP Rule Breach: Purposefully breaking the IP address rules.

Martingale: Multiplying your position size when the price goes against you.

News Trading Rule: You can open trades 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after high-impact news, but you cannot open any trades right when the news comes out.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange, commodities, indices, and other derivatives, involves a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The leveraged nature of trading can work both to your advantage and disadvantage, potentially resulting in substantial gains or losses. Before participating in any trading program, clients should carefully consider their financial situation, trading experience, and risk tolerance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. There is always the possibility of losing some or all of the invested capital. Zibrock provides evaluation programs and funded accounts with a virtual balance. All trading takes place under simulated conditions. While profits are calculated and paid out in accordance with the company's terms, clients must understand that trading inherently carries uncertainty and no outcome can be guaranteed. By participating in our programs, clients acknowledge and accept the risks associated with financial trading and agree that Zibrock is not liable for any losses beyond those explicitly stated in the company's Terms & Conditions.
