Hedging:

• At DayTraders.com, we enforce strict risk management guidelines to promote transparent and fair trading practices. As part of these guidelines, hedging across accounts or within the same account is strictly prohibited. What Does This Mean? No Opposite Positions Across Accounts: Traders are not allowed to hold opposite positions (i.e., long and short) in the same or related instruments across different accounts. For example, if you go long on NQ (Nasdaq futures) in one account, you cannot go short on NQ in another account at the same time. No Hedging in Related Instruments: Additionally, traders cannot hedge by taking opposing positions in related instruments, such as going long on NQ (NASDAQ) in one account and short on ES (S&P futures) in another account. Hedging between correlated markets or instruments is also not permitted. No Simultaneous Long and Short Positions: Traders cannot simultaneously hold long and short positions on the same asset within any account, regardless of the trading strategy.
• High-Frequency Trading (HFT): At DayTraders.com, we maintain strict guidelines to ensure a level playing field for all traders. As part of these guidelines, we do not allow the use of High Frequency Trading (HFT) strategies on our platform. What Does This Mean? Manual Trading Required: High Frequency Trading (HFT) strategies that rely on the rapid execution of multiple trades within very short time intervals are not allowed. This includes trading systems or algorithms designed to execute hundreds or thousands of trades per second or minute. Prohibition of HFT Algorithms: Any trading activity that involves the use of HFT software, algorithms, or systems aimed at exploiting price discrepancies in milliseconds or microseconds is strictly prohibited. No Trade Overload: Excessive trade volume over short periods that is characteristic of HFT will be flagged and considered a violation of this rule.

Martingale:

• At DayTraders.com, we maintain strict guidelines to ensure a level playing field for all traders. As part of these guidelines, we do not allow the use of Martingale strategies on our platform. What Does This Mean? No Martingale Position Sizing: Any trading strategy that involves systematically doubling or significantly increasing position size after a losing trade in an attempt to recover losses is strictly prohibited. This applies regardless of the instrument traded or the account type held. Prohibition of Loss Recovery Strategies: Trading approaches that are designed to offset previous losses by exponentially scaling up trade size rather than making independent, merit-based trading decisions are not permitted on our platform. Risk Management Compliance: All position sizing must remain consistent with sound risk management practices and must comply with the drawdown and position size limits outlined in your account rules. Using progressively larger positions to chase losses will be flagged as a violation of this rule. (DCA allowed)
