What we don't allow — and why.

Our risk engine is real. These strategies exploit infrastructure gaps rather than reflect trading skill. Violating them results in account termination.

High-frequency scalping

Positions held under 5 seconds that primarily exploit broker latency, not market movement.

Latency arbitrage

Systems that exploit price delays between our feed and external markets. Flagged automatically.

Martingale / grid

Doubling-down after losses or placing layered inverse orders. Distorts risk, not skill.

Cross-account hedging

Opening opposite positions on separate Vertex accounts or coordinating with other traders.

Copy trading from third parties

Mirroring another trader's account (via MQL signals, etc). Your strategy must be your own.

Tick scalping exploits

Strategies that rely on re-quote windows or order-flow manipulation to generate unnatural win rates.

Most traders pick a 2-Step $100K. You can start smaller — even $39 gets you real skin in the game.
