Minimum Trade Time Rule Explained
The 10-second minimum trade time rule: why it exists, how it is applied, and what happens to trades closed too early.

Table of contents
Trades must remain open for a minimum of 10 seconds across all account types, including Elite Evaluation, Elite Sim Funded, and Instant Funded accounts. This article explains why the rule exists and how it is applied.
What is the Minimum Trade Time Rule?
We understand traders may accidentally close a trade early, or may need to exit a trade sooner than 10 seconds. This rule is in place to promote strategic trading and prevent ultra-high-frequency scalping techniques that do not align with our trading model.
If our risk team sees that ultra-high-frequency trades are excessive, our risk team reserves the right to remove profits based on trades closed in under 10 seconds.
How does this rule work?
Rule detail | How it works
Minimum hold time | Every trade you open must remain active for at least 10 seconds before closing
Closed too early | If a trade is closed before the 10-second mark, it may not count toward progress in an evaluation account or could result in a rule violation for sim funded traders
Scope | This rule applies to all trading instruments and account sizes at Top One Futures
Final thoughts: the 10-second minimum trade rule at Top One Futures is designed to encourage traders to develop sustainable strategies while maintaining a fair trading environment. Take your time, trade with intention, and build consistency for long-term success!
