1. Day Trading Limits and Compliance
You must comply with all day trading limits at Maven Trading. The use of any prohibited trading style listed below may result in account termination.
2. Prohibited Trading Styles
-
Cheating
Exploiting demo environment inefficiencies such as High-Frequency Trading, Toxic Trading Order Flow, Long/Short arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, tick scalping, or server execution manipulation is strictly prohibited.
-
Reverse or Group Hedging
Using your account to bet in one direction on a trade against another account constitutes reverse hedging and is considered cheating. This unfairly guarantees a winning position and may result in termination.
-
Hedging
You cannot exclusively hedge through a challenge or live account. Many malicious EA hedging bots attempt to exploit the demo environment, making it impossible to mirror trades accurately on a live server. If we detect exclusive hedging, we may request your EA details (if applicable).
-
Gambling
Gambling your way through a challenge phase is not permitted. Maven defines gambling as:
- Opening five or more positions within a losing trade, including both the entry and subsequent positions.
- Risking more than 50 lots on a 100k account (or equivalent ratio) on a live account, which will result in termination for high-risk gambling.
- Betting in one direction and holding until pass or fail.
-
Automated Trading (EA)
Expert Advisors (EAs) are not permitted on any Maven Trading platform. Using an EA will prevent you from passing your challenge, and repeated use may lead to account suspension.
3. Definition of a Trade
A trade is defined as a position held by a trader on a specific pair. It may include one or multiple entries with similar timing and lot sizes. Trades with significantly smaller lot sizes will not count as a trade. If your account is flagged, you must rerun the challenge.
4. Account Termination and Review
Performing any of the prohibited actions above will result in account termination. Any suspicious trading activity is subject to review, and termination may lead to the loss of any eventual profits.
5. Using Automated Trading Software (EA)
EAs are not permitted at Maven Trading. The use of an EA will result in you not passing your challenge, and repeated use could result in account suspension.
