Liquidity Abuse means systematically targeting low-liquidity conditions, widened spreads, or execution inefficiencies.
A condition is identified where at least 20% of total realised profit in a review period or payout cycle is generated from trades opened and closed within the applicable low-liquidity window for the instrument traded.
This is not a daily trading ban. It is measured across the review period or payout cycle.
Example: if a trader makes $10,000 total realised profit in a payout cycle and $2,200 came from trades opened and closed inside the applicable low-liquidity window, 22% of profit came from that window and the condition may be active.
