Arbitrage involves exploiting price differences between markets, brokers, or data feeds to generate profits without real market exposure.
This includes, among others: statistical arbitrage, latency arbitrage, triangular arbitrage, market-making arbitrage, or pair arbitrage.
Why it is prohibited
Arbitrage is banned because it:
Distorts price formation and affects real market liquidity.
Generates performance that is not attributable to genuine trading skill.
Can cause operational issues, server-level execution problems, and unexpected losses.
Detection and Penalties
If arbitrage patterns are detected:
The account will be immediately terminated.
All profits obtained through this practice will be voided.
The trader will be permanently banned from participating in future funding programs.
