Overview
Fxify—a proprietary trading platform backed by an established broker—clearly defines its policy on high‑frequency trading (HFT). Across all funding models, HFT techniques are strictly prohibited.
Prohibited Trading Strategies
The firm’s policy bans the following across all programs:
- High‑frequency trading (i.e. rapid execution/cancellation cycles)
- Latency arbitrage strategies
- Reverse or group hedging
- Martingale approaches
- Grid trading
- Coordinated or collusive trading between accounts
Program-Specific EA Usage
- Standard Evaluation Programs: Traders may use automated tools like Expert Advisors (EAs), but these programs still forbid HFT‑style rapid execution.
- Instant Funding and Lightning Challenge: These fast-track programs require purely manual execution. No EAs, bots, or high-speed trading allowed.
Additional Restrictions
Other restricted behaviors include use of emulators, external copy trading, excessive one-sided positions, and leveraging tricks. Copying trades from third-party accounts without submission of master account statements also violates policy.
Monitoring and Compliance
Fxify employs automated monitoring of order behavior and device identification (via IP and CID tracking). Trades exhibiting rapid cancelations or patterns consistent with HFT trigger review. Usage of EAs or external copy systems in manual-only programs can result in account disqualification or closure.
Conclusion
At Fxify, high‑frequency trading is uniformly forbidden. Even in programs allowing algorithmic trading tools, executing ultra‑fast strategies characteristic of HFT is not permitted. Traders opting for Lightning or Instant Funding must execute trades manually, ensuring adherence to the firm’s enforcement of trading discipline.
