# Is scalping allowed?

Explains scalping threshold.

Short-duration trading is not automatically prohibited. Prohibited scalping is identified by Finotive thresholds.

A scalping condition is identified where 40% or more of closed trades in a Payout Cycle have a holding time of 120 seconds or less, or 20% or more of total positive realised profit in the Payout Cycle is generated from trades held for 120 seconds or less.
