Prohibited Trading Strategies

Prohibited Cheating Practices

Updated this week

At NeomAAA, we maintain a strict policy against abusive, exploitative, or unrealistic trading strategies. Any method that artificially inflates performance, manipulates the evaluation process, or does not reflect real, sustainable trading behavior is strictly forbidden.

The following practices are not allowed under any circumstances:

⚠ Abusive Trading Behavior

  • Gambling-style trading

  • “All-in” or “all-or-nothing” strategies

  • Quick Strike / burst-risk strategies

  • One-sided oversized betting

  • Hyperactivity or spamming the order book

  • Grid trading, martingale, or recovery systems

  • Third-party EAs designed for arbitrage, grid, latency, or challenge exploitation

  • Copy trading, signal mirroring, or account-to-account replication

⚠ Arbitrage / Latency Exploitation

  • Latency arbitrage

  • Reverse arbitrage

  • Hedge arbitrage or any arbitrage emulator

  • Arbitrage bots of any kind

  • Tick scalping for micro-price exploitation

  • High Frequency Trading (HFT)

  • Using delayed charts or delayed data feeds

  • Exploiting data freezing, platform lags, or Demo Server errors

  • Exploiting low-liquidity spikes or guaranteed-profit conditions

⚠ System Abuse / Manipulation

  • Account rolling or passing challenges for others

  • Device or account sharing

  • Exploiting evaluation-only behaviors not replicable in live markets

  • Any strategy generating risk-free, guaranteed, or artificially consistent profits exclusively on challenges

  • Using external services like “Pass Your Challenge” or signal services

These actions distort results, bypass fair rules, and do not demonstrate the skill level required to trade professionally with NeomAAA.


Consequences of Violations

Any violation of these rules may result in:

  • Immediate account termination (Challenge, Verification, or Funded)

  • Denial of payouts or rewards

  • Permanent ban from all NeomAAA services

NeomAAA’s objective is to partner with traders who demonstrate discipline, consistency, and responsible risk management.

Gambling Policy

At NeomAAA, we maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy toward “all-or-nothing” or gambling-style trading strategies. We do not accept any approach that relies on excessive risk-taking or attempts to win large amounts through highly leveraged, high-risk positions.

Our objective is to identify skilled, consistent, and risk-aware traders—professionals capable of managing risk responsibly, generating sustainable profits, and maintaining discipline in the financial markets. These are the traders we choose to partner with and provide with Qualified Trader Accounts of up to $150,000.

We do not tolerate trading practices that involve gambling behavior. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Excessive leverage usage

  • Risking a significant portion of the account on very few trades

  • Opening positions that use 50% or more of your margin

  • Any strategy designed to “go big or go broke”

Such actions may result in immediate account reset or closure, depending on our risk management team’s assessment.

NeomAAA firmly believes that gambling-style trades do not reflect real trading skill, nor do they demonstrate the ability to manage risk or achieve consistent profitability. Any such activity will lead to the termination of your contract and the removal of your Qualified Trader Account.


Third Party EAs

The use of third-party EAs is allowed, but traders must comply with the following rules:

Requirements:

  • The trader must be the owner of the EA or the strategy implemented within the EA.

  • The trader must be able to prove ownership or legal rights to use the EA or strategy.

  • The EA must comply with all NeomAAA risk management policies.

Warnings:

  • Using an EA without ownership or authorization may violate NeomAAA rules and could result in action being taken on your account, including disqualification.

  • Third-party EAs may inadvertently breach rules regarding prohibited strategies, account sharing, replication/copy-trading, or order flow abuse.



Order book spamming

What is Order Book Spamming?

Order book spamming involves placing a large number of small orders in the order book to create a misleading impression of market activity. This is a manipulative practice that can disrupt market integrity, provide unfair advantages to certain traders, and strain trading systems.


Why is Order Book Spamming Prohibited?

  • Unfair Advantage: Traders who use this tactic can gain an unfair edge, particularly in a simulated trading environment where the repercussions are not as severe as in live trading. This undermines the fairness and integrity of the trading platform.

  • System Strain: Excessive orders can overwhelm trading platforms and systems, causing delays and affecting overall market stability and efficiency. This can lead to slower response times and reduced performance for all users.

Example of Order Book Spamming:

A trader entering multiple small orders (e.g., 0.1 lots) in a short time period instead of placing a single larger order (e.g., 1 lot). This activity can be seen as an attempt to manipulate the price feed in a simulated environment.


Grid Trading:

Grid trading is a strategy where a trader places multiple buy and sell orders at different price levels above and below the current market price. The goal is to profit from price fluctuations as the market moves up and down, hitting various price points.

Why is Grid Trading prohibited at NeomAAA?

Grid trading is prohibited because it can lead to market manipulation and create artificial activity. It also increases risk, as a large market movement in one direction can trigger many losses simultaneously. This strategy is not in line with NeomAAA fair trading principles.

Example: A trader places multiple buy orders at $100, $105, and $110, and sell orders at $115, $120, and $125. If the market moves between these levels, the trader profits. However, if the market drops sharply below $100, all your buy orders will lose value, which can cause significant losses.


Copy Trading From Others:

At NeomAAA, copy trading is allowed between NeomAAA Challenge Accounts, under specific guidelines ​​to ensure fairness, transparency, and compliance with the platform’s policies.

However, Copy-Trading between multiple accounts not owned by the same individual, including those of relatives, family members, or friends, is strictly prohibited.


Tick Scalping:

Tick Scalping refers to a trading strategy where traders aim to profit from small price fluctuations by executing a high volume of trades within a short time frame. At NeomAAA, limitations have been imposed on tick scalping as a result of its capacity for market manipulation and disruptive trading practices.

Example: A tick scalper uses automated trading algorithms to scalp ticks on instruments. By executing trades at lightning speed, they can exploit even the smallest price movements, effectively front-running other market participants and gaining an unfair advantage. The rapid influx of orders and subsequent cancellations can strain market liquidity, making it challenging for other traders to execute their trades at fair prices.



Account Sharing/Device Sharing:

Account sharing refers to the unauthorized practice of sharing or reselling NeomAAA accounts with other individuals or entities. Sharing devices with other traders is strictly prohibited, regardless of the relationship. This behavior violates NeomAAA Terms of Service and is strictly prohibited. A zero-tolerance stance towards account sharing or device sharing is maintained due to several reasons related to security, fairness, and compliance.
