Minimum Trade Duration (60 Seconds)
Updated 30 October 2026
Every trade must stay open for at least 60 seconds.
Accounts opened from 20 August 2026
- Closing a trade by hand in under 60 seconds: the first time, the trade's profit is removed and you get a warning. The second time ends the account.
- A trade closed by take-profit or stop-loss in under 60 seconds has its profit removed and records a warning. After four warnings, the fifth such close ends the account.
- A position closed automatically by margin stop-out is never counted.
The rule exists to stop tick scalping and latency exploitation. Normal manual trading is never affected — if you hold your trades for a minute, this rule will never touch you.
Accounts opened from 27 July to 19 August 2026
Your original rulebook still applies and has not changed:
- The first close under 60 seconds records a warning.
- After that, profit from any trade closed under 60 seconds does not count toward your target. The profit stays off your balance; losses still count in full.
- Your account is not breached for fast closes.
Accounts opened before 27 July 2026
Repeat closes under 60 seconds breach the account.
