Inactivity rule for Static Accounts evaluation
Static Pro Step 1 and Static Lite Step 1 have a 30-day inactivity rule.
What counts as inactivity
Inactivity means no trades placed for 30 consecutive days.
How to avoid inactivity issues
Place at least one trade within any rolling 30 day window during evaluation.
News trading rules on Static Accounts
News trading is restricted around high impact events.
You may not open or close trades within 5 minutes before or after high impact news. High impact news is defined using the FXStreet economic calendar.
Why this rule exists
High impact events can cause extreme spreads, volatility spikes, and liquidity gaps that lead to slippage and unpredictable fills. The restriction window is designed to reduce those risks.
What happens if I took a trade during high impact news?
If a trade is opened or closed during this window, any profit from that trade will not count.
This is not a hard breach. The account is not terminated.
Losses are counted.
Hedging policy on Static Accounts
Hedging is not allowed in any form. This includes hedging across multiple accounts.
What this means
You cannot intentionally offset exposure by holding opposing positions:
Within the same account
Across multiple Static Accounts
Across related accounts under the same ownership or control
If trading behavior indicates systematic offsetting designed to neutralize risk, it may be treated as hedging even if executed through multiple positions.
Expert Advisors and copy trading on Static Accounts
Yes, Expert Advisors and copy trading are allowed.
Important execution note
The Company reserves the right to restrict or remove access to algorithmic or copy trading at any time if execution negatively impacts systems or liquidity venues. There is no obligation to provide justification for this decision.
Why access might be restricted
Certain automated or copy execution styles can create operational risk, such as:
Excessive order rates
Venue impact
System stress or unstable fills
Execution patterns that are not sustainable for the environment
Arbitrage and latency strategy policy on Static Accounts
Any form of arbitrage, latency exploitation, price manipulation, or quote abuse is strictly prohibited.
Examples of what this includes
Taking advantage of price feed delays
Off market quotes
Temporary pricing errors
Execution loopholes
If trading activity relies on those conditions rather than normal market risk, it is prohibited.
Maximum exposure limit on Static Accounts
Yes. Maximum exposure is limited to 1 standard lot per every 2,500 of account balance.
How it is applied
This applies to total combined exposure across all open positions. It is not per trade. It is your total open lot exposure at that moment.
Example
If your balance is 25,000, your maximum total exposure is 10 standard lots across all open trades.
