Prohibited Activities
Edmond funds traders who show disciplined, directional risk management. The conduct below is prohibited on evaluation and PRO accounts. Breaches can close accounts, forfeit simulated balances, and lead to further review.
Program notice
All content on this site — including any simulated trading environment — is for educational purposes only. Edmond does not offer real-money brokerage accounts. No actual funds are deposited with, or traded through, our platform.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
These services are available exclusively to non-professional traders.
What is not allowed
- Misrepresenting the program: Do not present Edmond accounts, balances, or payouts as live brokerage, deposited capital, or professional trading services. This is a simulated, educational program for non-professional traders only.
- Credential & account sharing: Do not share logins, devices, IPs, payment cards, or copy trades with other people. Only the registered owner may trade or complete verification.
- Payments & payouts in another name: Fees must be paid with a method in your name; rewards must go to a bank account in your name.
- Bad-faith chargebacks: Disputing fees dishonestly or filing refund requests in bad faith is prohibited.
- False information: Do not submit false identity, residency, financial, or account documents.
- Identity / location concealment to evade rules: Using VPNs, proxies, cloud hosts, or anonymizers to hide who or where you are in order to dodge restrictions, hide prior violations, or enable fraud is prohibited.
- System abuse: Do not alter platform data, forge documents, spoof staff, or otherwise game Edmond systems for an unfair advantage.
- No risk controls: Trades need a defined risk plan (pending or mental stops). Trading without risk management is not allowed.
- Skewed risk/reward: Tiny targets with outsized stops (for example a few ticks of profit against a very large stop) are not acceptable.
- Using the trailing threshold as a stop: Do not treat the full account drawdown floor as your routine stop-loss.
- Evaluation farming: Buying stacks of discounted evals to cycle blow-ups for a windfall is not permitted.
- Unsustainable or extractive tactics: Approaches that do not show durable, responsible trading are prohibited.
- Simulation exploitation: High-frequency or other strategies aimed at feed/platform quirks, bad fills, or exceeding plan size are forbidden — including non-directional brackets left on both sides hoping for a lucky fill.
- Multiple user profiles: Creating extra Edmond logins (including household or related parties) to dodge restrictions or probation on an existing account is a ban offense.
- Holding through the close: Flatten before the market close; overnight positions into the cash close are not allowed.
- Automation / bots: Rewards recognize discretionary human trading, not unattended algorithmic execution of prebuilt logic.
- News gambling: Normal strategies around news are fine. Placing both-side “lottery” orders or chasing the print purely to gamble the release is not.
- Hedging / two-way risk: Directional trading only. Simultaneous long and short on the same or tightly correlated instruments is prohibited — including offsetting one Edmond account against another.
Violations may result in forfeiture of accounts and balances. Edmond may audit activity and request additional verification at any time. See also our Terms and Intraday Trailing evaluation rules.
