Is there a minimum holding time for trades on Master Accounts?

Updated over a week ago

Yes. All trades on Master (Funded) Accounts must respect the One Minute Holding Rule.
Each position must remain open for a minimum of one (1) minute before it can be closed.

Closing a trade instantly or within seconds to capture artificial profits is not permitted and is considered a soft breach.

If a trader violates this rule:

  • On the first or second occurrence, the profits from those trades will be removed from the account balance.

  • If the same violation occurs more than twice, it becomes a hard breach, leading to the termination of the Master Account.

⚠️ This rule applies only to Master Accounts and does not apply to Phase 1 or Phase 2 evaluation accounts.

  • Example 1: Open trade at 10:00:00 → Close at 10:00:40 → ❌ Violation (under 60s).

  • Example 2: Open trade at 10:00:00 → Close at 10:01:10 → ✅ Valid.

⚖️ Remember: Scalping is allowed, tick manipulation isn’t. Hold each trade at least 60 seconds to stay fully compliant.
