15s tick scalping manipulation
My payout was denied and the funded account was breached due to the opening and closing 15s rule which they refer as tick scalping. The situation is: I've opened 1 trade within 15s after closing the previous trade. Then held my position for more than 20 mins which is typically how long my trade duration is. The Risk Team considered that as a tick scalping..... I looked it up on both google and chatgpt. The definition is shown below: Chatgpt: Tick Scalping / Ultra-Short-Term Scalping • Opening and closing trades in a very short time frame (less than 15 Seconds). The key part of the rule is about how long a single trade is open — not how soon you open a new trade after closing a previous one. So, to clarify: ✅ If you open a new trade 1 second, 5 seconds, or 15 seconds after closing a previous trade, this does NOT violate the rule — as long as each individual trade is open for more than 15 seconds. ❌ You would violate the rule if you open and close a trade within less than 15 seconds, regardless of when the last trade was made. Google: 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. 📏 How we define tick scalping Any trade lasting less than 15 seconds falls under our tick scalping definition It is not allowed to have more than 10% of your total lot volume coming from tick scalping trades IN my case, I did not trade frequently nor did I open and close a trade within 15s, In the contract we signed before we became a funded trader of fundedx. It did say that opening and closing trades within 15s is a violation. But they did not specified what behaviors falls under so that they have the reasons to deny payouts. All other firms have provided detail clarification on the tick scalping 15s rule. Also this rule is not on the dashboard lol... I would not use this firm ever again. To reply the comment from fundedx. Your so-called prohibited trading style involved with opening a trade within 15s after closing one. Yes it may happened a few times but they are not even on the same day. Doesn't match with the high-frequency tick scalping. Not sure how that will be flagged as tick scalping. Also in the contract we signed, it said opening and closing trades within 15s. NOT closing then open a trade within 15s. Make them clear please. EURUSD and XAUUSD are 2 different pairs. their correlations can vary....Very unprofessional lol. To all traders that wants to use fundedx. Please be aware that they manually detect these rules. Which means they can say whatever they want. I tried to tell other traders on discord that their definition of 15s rule is different with the other firm and they blocked me.
