Tick scalping means placing and closing orders in extremely short time and high frequency, which makes it extremely hard to copy such trades into the real market execution due to high likelihood of slippages. As such, any profitable trading would be very unlikely to be replicated.
Specifically, placing trades that last less than 15 seconds is considered as “tick scalping” and is prohibited.
It is prohibited to have more than 10% of all your cumulative trading volume in lots falling under the definition of “tick scalping”.
In case we identify such behavior you will get the first warning via email.
From the following day, if we identify that more than 10% of your trades after the first warning are again being opened as “tick scalping”, your account will be breached.
In case we identify that more than 50% of your trades fall under the “tick scalping” definition at any time, your account will be breached right away, without any warning.
Kindly be advised that this definition applies to general instances and explanation, and the company retains the privilege to assess each case on an individual basis.
This general definition is valid for accounts with a purchase date of May 6th 2024 00:00 UTC or later.
⚠️ Tick scalping policy – what you need to know
At Fintokei, we support trading styles that reflect real skill and can be reliably executed on live markets.
Tick scalping doesn’t meet those standards.
What is tick scalping?
Tick scalping means opening and closing trades in extremely short time intervals, often under 15 seconds, and usually in high frequency.
These trades are nearly impossible to mirror in real market conditions due to execution delays and slippage.
That’s why we consider them unreliable and prohibited.
