Prohibited Trading Practices

Last updated: 13 July 2026

Solara Futures ("we", "us", or "our") maintains strict rules to ensure the integrity of our simulated trading evaluation platform. The following practices are prohibited. Engaging in any of these activities may result in disciplinary action as outlined in Section 9 below.

1. High-Frequency Trading and Automated Exploitation

The use of high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies, automated bots, or scripts designed to exploit the simulated fill engine is strictly prohibited. This includes but is not limited to:

• Latency arbitrage — exploiting delays between simulated price feeds and order execution.
• Fill exploitation — placing orders designed to take advantage of predictable simulated fill behaviour that would not occur in live markets.
• Tick scalping at speeds inconsistent with human trading, particularly strategies relying on sub-second order placement and cancellation.
• Automated strategies that generate an excessive volume of orders relative to executed trades (high order-to-fill ratios).

Algorithmic and automated trading is permitted only when the strategy replicates realistic market behaviour and does not exploit the simulated environment.

2. Cross-Account Hedging

Simultaneously holding opposing positions in the same underlying instrument across multiple Solara Futures accounts is prohibited. This includes:

• Going long on one account and short on another in the same perpetual market.
• Using correlated instruments across accounts to achieve an effectively hedged position (e.g., long SOL on one account and short BTC on another).
• Coordinating trades with other users to create hedged positions across separate accounts.

Hedging within a single account using different instruments is permitted if it reflects a legitimate trading strategy.

3. Copy Trading Between Separate Accounts

Replicating trades from one Solara Futures user account to another, whether manually or through automated tools, is prohibited. This includes:

• Using third-party copy trading or signal mirroring services to duplicate trades across accounts.
• Manually replicating the same trades across multiple accounts owned by you or by different individuals.
• Sharing trade signals, entry/exit points, or real-time trading decisions with other users for the purpose of synchronised trading.

4. Bracket Exploitation

Placing bracket or OCO (One-Cancels-Other) orders with unrealistically tight profit targets or stop losses is prohibited. Specifically:

• Bracket orders with profit targets or stop losses of less than 2 ticks from the entry price are considered exploitative.
• Patterns of consistently placing minimum-tick brackets to exploit simulated fill certainty will be flagged and reviewed.

This restriction applies to systematic patterns, not isolated instances of tight risk management on individual trades.

5. News Scalping on Restricted Accounts

Certain account types may carry restrictions on trading around major economic news releases. Where such restrictions apply:

• Opening new positions within the restricted window (typically 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after a major news release) is prohibited.
• Holding positions through a major news event solely to capture the volatility spike may be restricted depending on your account plan.
• Account-specific rules regarding news trading are clearly stated in your plan terms and on the platform dashboard.

6. Device and Account Sharing

Each Solara Futures account is intended for use by a single individual. The following are prohibited:

• Sharing your account login credentials with any other person.
• Allowing another individual to trade on your account, whether for compensation or otherwise.
• Using shared devices in a way that allows multiple individuals to access the same account without proper authentication.
• Operating another person's account on their behalf, including account management or trade execution services.

7. Stale or Dislocated Market Data

Deliberately exploiting a known oracle, order-book, pricing, or liquidity disruption to capture unrealistic simulated profits is prohibited. This includes:

• Submitting orders against stale prices during a provider or network outage.
• Repeatedly targeting clearly erroneous prints or crossed order books.
• Coordinating activity intended to create execution results that could not reasonably occur in the live 24/7 crypto market.

8. Other Prohibited Activities

• Providing false or misleading information during account registration or any manual identity, residency, sanctions, or payout review.
• Attempting to reverse-engineer, manipulate, or interfere with the platform's trading engine, risk management systems, or data feeds.
• Publicly misrepresenting simulated trading results as live trading performance.
• Any activity intended to defraud the platform operator, other users, or third parties.

9. Consequences

Following a documented review, a violation may result in one or more of the following proportionate actions:

• Warning: a formal notice identifying the violation and requiring immediate cessation.
• Profit void: removal of profits gained through prohibited practices. Affected trades may be reversed or adjusted.
• Account termination: immediate closure of all active evaluation and qualified simulation accounts without refund.
• Permanent ban: prohibition from creating new accounts or accessing the Service in the future.

We may investigate suspected violations using trade data, security logs, IP analysis, device signals and other relevant records. Enforcement decisions are based on the available evidence and the applicable account rules. A user may contact support to request a review of the decision.
