At 1of1 Futures, we are committed to maintaining a transparent, fair, and ethical trading environment. Our policies are designed to safeguard both our traders and the platform, ensuring that all trading activities align with proper market practices and our core values. Below is an overview of our guidelines to protect against practices that exploit the simulated environment or contradict ethical trading standards.
Understanding Simulated Market Challenges
While our simulated market is a close approximation of live trading conditions, there are certain disparities that can arise. Some traders, either intentionally or inadvertently, may exploit these differences, resulting in strategies that perform well in simulations but fail in live markets. To ensure a fair experience for all, 1of1 Futures strictly prohibits such practices.
Trading Strategies and Automated Protocols
1of1 Futures enforces clear guidelines to prevent unfair practices, particularly when it comes to automated and disruptive trading strategies:
Prohibited Trading Strategies: Any trading strategies designed to exploit system errors, delays in price updates, or market discrepancies, such as spoofing, are strictly prohibited. Additionally, trading within 2% of a product’s lock limit or using external or delayed data feeds is not allowed.
Automated Trading: Full automation, including the use of AI, bots, and other high-speed automated tools, is strictly forbidden across all account types. Semi-automated trading is permitted only if traders actively monitor and manage the system.
Collaborative and Manipulative Trading: Engaging in coordinated trades with other accounts or manipulating market conditions through collaborative strategies is prohibited. This includes simultaneously performing the same or opposite trades (i.e., hedging) across multiple unconnected accounts.
Order Management and Market Conduct
To maintain an equitable trading environment, all trading activities must adhere to proper order management practices:
Order Placement: Placing multiple limit orders at the same price to manipulate fills or trading in illiquid markets to profit from isolated price movements is strictly prohibited.
Slippage and Tight Brackets: Exploiting the absence of slippage and using tight brackets to gain an unfair advantage in order fills are not allowed.
Tier 1 Economic Data: Trading during Tier 1 economic data releases is restricted to avoid unnecessary volatility and manipulation.
Compliance with Market Rules: All trading activities must comply with CME Group rules.
Violations and Consequences
1of1 Futures reserves the right to take immediate action if these guidelines are violated:
Account Termination: Accounts found in breach of these policies may be terminated without notice.
Profit Confiscation: Profits derived from prohibited activities will be confiscated, and traders may lose funding eligibility.
Evaluation Review: All evaluations are subject to review, and violations may result in a failure to receive funding or refunds.
Account and Trader Guidelines
1of1 Futures maintains clear rules to ensure proper account management and trader identity:
Account Management Services: Purchasing or providing account management services, or sharing account information to have others pass challenges, is strictly prohibited and will result in account termination. This also applies to managing or trading on a Simulated Funded Account on behalf of another individual.
Underage Trading: Trading is only permitted for individuals over 18. Trading under someone else’s identity is not allowed.
Copying Trades: Replicating trades from another trader, such as using a signal provider, is not permitted.
Professional Conduct: Any form of unprofessional behavior, including harassment, threats, or blackmail directed at the company or its staff, will lead to serious consequences.
Geographical Restrictions: Bypassing or circumventing any geographical restrictions is prohibited.
At 1of1 Futures, we uphold the highest standards of ethical trading. Our guidelines are in place to protect traders, the platform, and our funding partners. We encourage all traders to trade responsibly, adhere to these rules, and contribute to a sustainable and supportive trading environment for all. Together, we can build a community rooted in transparency, fairness, and success.
