No. Tick Scalping is an ultra-short trading approach that aims to capture micro-fluctuations of only a few ticks, without holding positions for a reasonable amount of time or relying on meaningful technical or fundamental analysis.
Why Tick Scalping is Prohibited
This type of strategy:
Generates artificial performance data that does not reflect real trading skill.
Manipulates key evaluation metrics such as profit factor and drawdown.
Can cause latency issues, partial executions, and order-queue congestion.
Detection and Penalties
Tick Scalping is identified when trades show:
Extremely small profits
Extremely short duration
High-frequency, repetitive execution patterns
Once detected:
The account will be invalidated
All profits will be voided
Access will be revoked without any right to refund
