The specific High-Frequency Trading rule applies to Instant Funding Standard and Instant Funding Lite only.
On Instant accounts, HFT is prohibited where either 30% or more of closed trades have a holding time of less than 60 seconds, with at least 10 closed trades required before this criterion is assessed, or 5 or more trades are opened within any 10-second interval.
Challenge and Pro traders are not assessed under the Instant-only HFT rule, but they must still avoid other prohibited or abusive strategies such as scalping outside thresholds, latency abuse, liquidity abuse, and unauthorised third-party tools.
