The following rule applies to all Eleonex challenges:
Any trading approach deemed as “cheating” is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of our Terms & Conditions. This Any trading approach deemed as “cheating” or intended to manipulate, exploit, or abuse the simulated trading environment is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of the Eleonex Terms & Conditions.
Traders are expected to treat their accounts as if they were trading in a live market environment. Any strategy designed to exploit demo account conditions, pricing inefficiencies, platform behavior, or evaluation rules rather than genuine market opportunities is prohibited. The use of methods that manipulate demo account features may result in account termination during either the evaluation or funded stage, forfeiture of rewards or payouts, and permanent removal from the program.
Examples of prohibited trading practices include, but are not limited to:
Exploiting platform freezes, server errors, pricing errors, execution delays, data feed delays, or latency in the trading platform or broker infrastructure.
Trading based on delayed market data, delayed charts, stale price feeds, or exploiting pricing discrepancies.
Tick scalping, high-frequency trading (HFT), latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, or the use of arbitrage bots.
Using trade emulators or any software designed to exploit the simulated environment.
Using non-public, confidential, or insider information to obtain an unfair trading advantage.
Front-running trades executed on other accounts, brokers, or trading venues.
Executing trades in a manner that could jeopardize Eleonex’s relationship with its brokers, liquidity providers, technology partners, or create regulatory or compliance concerns.
Martingale, anti-Martingale, grid recovery systems, or any strategy that systematically increases position size after losses in an attempt to recover previous losses.
All-or-Nothing trading, where a single trade or a series of highly correlated trades places the account at an unreasonable risk of failure.
Abuse of the simulated environment through repeated high-volume trading without a clear, logical, and risk-managed trading strategy.
Order book spamming, quote stuffing, or excessive order placement intended to manipulate execution or platform behavior.
Hedging positions within the same trading account, between accounts owned by the same trader, or between accounts owned by different traders. Hedging includes opening opposite positions on the same instrument with the purpose of offsetting risk or circumventing trading rules, regardless of position size.
Using commercially available Expert Advisors (EAs), signal services, copy trading systems, or third-party strategies specifically designed or marketed to pass proprietary trading evaluations. Eleonex reserves the right to request proof of ownership of any automated strategy, including the source code where reasonably required.
Using one trading methodology during the evaluation phase and intentionally switching to a materially different methodology after becoming funded solely to circumvent the evaluation process (for example, using an EA during evaluation and manual trading after funding, or vice versa).
Copying or mirroring trades or trade ideas between evaluation accounts, funded accounts, or accounts belonging to different traders where such activity indicates coordinated trading or attempts to circumvent program rules.
Any strategy intended to manipulate the evaluation process or generate artificial, risk-free, statistically unrealistic, or otherwise non-sustainable trading results.
Eleonex reserves the right to review any trading activity at its sole discretion. If we determine that your trading constitutes a prohibited trading practice, we may issue a warning, impose trading restrictions, reject your evaluation, terminate your account, deny rewards or payouts, or permanently remove you from the program.
The examples listed above are not exhaustive. Any trading activity that attempts to exploit technical weaknesses, manipulate the simulated trading environment, circumvent risk management rules, or gain an unfair advantage may be considered a prohibited trading practice, even if it is not specifically listed. We are committed to maintaining a fair and consistent trading environment for all traders.
