For Traders Crypto

News trading is allowed during the evaluation phases.

On the Funded Account:
• All traders may hold positions during news events.
Rule Description:
You may hold positions through news, but opening trades is not allowed during:
5 minutes before a high-impact news release
5 minutes after a high-impact news release

Profit Calculation:
Profits from trades opened at least 5 minutes before a high-impact news event will be counted, even if the trade is closed during the 5-minute window before or after the event.
This allows swing traders who plan their positions in advance to benefit from their strategic decisions without penalties.

Profit Exclusion:
Profits from trades opened within the 10-minute window around a high-impact news event—5 minutes before and 5 minutes after—will not be counted, but this will not be treated as an account violation.
This rule is designed to prevent short-term speculative trading based on news releases.

Reverse Arbitrage
This involves selling at a higher price in one market and buying at a lower price in another market at the same time.
Latency Arbitrage
This method exploits delays in market-data updates by executing trades based on faster access to information.
 High-Frequency Trading (HFT)
High-Frequency Trading (HFT) uses advanced algorithms and ultra-fast computing to execute a large number of trades within seconds, exploiting small price differences.
Grid Trading
Grid trading is a method used in Forex and other financial markets in which traders place buy and sell orders at predefined intervals above and below a base price, creating a grid of orders. This strategy does not align with the fair-trading principles adopted by For Traders.
Fast Scalping
A prohibited strategy that aims to capture tiny profits from the smallest price changes, known as price fluctuations, in rapid succession. It is entirely speed-driven, with automated trades lasting from seconds to minutes to capture these quick movements.
Use of Automated Bots
Automated software and simulators are prohibited. We want to evaluate your personal trading ability, so all trades must be managed manually.
Hedging Between Accounts
Users are not allowed to hedge across two or more accounts. In other words, a position on one account (buy) may not be hedged with an opposite position on another account (sell).
Gambling
Gambling in trading is characterized by actions that resemble betting rather than informed decisions based on market analysis. This includes excessive leverage, one-sided bets without careful market analysis, or pursuing unrealistic profit targets through high-risk trades. These behaviors are not only risky but also undermine the core principles of responsible trading.
Group Trading
We understand that traders may follow similar strategies, which is why each account is evaluated individually. However, every trader must develop their own market analysis and make decisions independently. If most trades are identical across multiple accounts owned by different traders, this indicates a coordinated approach rather than individual judgment, which is not permitted. We aim to work with traders who make their own trading decisions, understand market dynamics, and manage risk effectively.
Martingale
Martingale is based on doubling the trade size after each loss to recover losses with a single winning trade. It is a high-risk gambling method and is strictly prohibited. If our system detects rapid increases in trade size or unrealistic recovery trades, the account may be closed for violating the gambling rules.
Group Trading and Signal Trading
At For Traders, our mission is to identify and support skilled independent traders. For this reason, we have a clear rule: group trading and signal trading are prohibited. This is not merely a procedural rule; it is about giving genuine traders the opportunity they deserve.
