Tick Scalping & Unrealistic Trading Practices
Updated 8 September 2026
Tick scalping refers to extremely short-term trading where positions are opened and closed within seconds to capture very small price movements, often using high position sizes.
Trading strategies that generate profits through unrealistic execution conditions such as rapid entries and exits within a few ticks may not reflect real market behaviour. In live trading environments, such activity is often affected by slippage, liquidity limitations, and partial fills, making these results difficult to replicate consistently.
This rule applies across all account types, including Flex and Daily Payouts, to ensure consistency and alignment with realistic market conditions. If such activity is identified, any profits generated from it may be reviewed and deducted.
Traders are encouraged to follow strategies that are sustainable and reflect genuine live-market execution.
