What Trading Strategies are Prohibited at RaiseMyFunds?
RaiseMyFunds firmly prohibits any form of cheating or exploitation of its platform, as such actions violate the Terms of Service agreed upon during registration. Traders are strongly advised to review our Terms of Use thoroughly and understand the guidelines outlined below to avoid unintended consequences.
System abuse refers to trading behaviors that do not align with real market activity. These practices are not allowed and will result in a violation of our Terms of Use without prior notice. Strategies that aim to generate consistent, “risk-free” profits exclusively during the Challenge phase are strictly forbidden. All traders are expected to approach their accounts as if they were already a funded trader at RaiseMyFunds. Any attempt to exploit the Challenge stage through such strategies will lead to the immediate termination of the trader’s account—whether still in the Challenge phase or after being funded.
At RaiseMyFunds, we emphasize the importance of disciplined and responsible trading practices. Risky behaviors—such as excessive margin use (70% or more), overleveraging, or entering high-risk trades without stop loss or solid analysis—are strictly forbidden. Such actions compromise effective risk management, expose accounts to unnecessary financial danger, and jeopardize long-term trading performance.
Professional traders typically limit risk to 1% per trade and keep margin use below 30%, ensuring sustainable and long term performance.
RaiseMyFunds promotes risk-aware strategies and will take action against any account exhibiting gambling behavior :
Traders may receive a formal warning highlighting the importance of maintaining responsible trading behavior. If violations persist, measures such as leverage reduction may be enforced to promote stronger risk management. A 1% Risk Limit Rule may also be applied, restricting risk exposure to a maximum of 1% at any given moment. Stop loss has to be applied on every trades to ensure basic risk-management. Continued non-compliance will result in account termination following prior warnings, with any profits derived from prohibited trades subject to removal if applicable.
“All-in” Risking
Placing trades that approach or match the daily loss limit in one or multiple transactions is seen as reckless gambling and unsustainable.
HFT uses algorithms and speed to execute large volumes of trades in milliseconds, often to exploit inefficiencies.
Why it’s banned: It creates artificial market activity, disrupts pricing, and overwhelms system resources. Repeated violations or severe cases may result in immediate account suspension.
Hedging within the same account is allowed. Hedging across multiple accounts—or coordinating opposite trades across different accounts—is banned.
Hedging across multiple accounts is prohibited. Also, trading behavior like taking risk of full or close to daily loss limit in one trade will be suspected as a multi-platform hedge with RaiseMyFunds.
Example (Allowed): Buy and sell EUR/USD within one account.
Example (Prohibited): Buy EURUSD account, sell EURUSD on another.
Any strategy that exploits pricing or timing differences across platforms to secure risk-free profits is strictly prohibited.
Example: Using statistical or latency arbitrage to distort real market values.
Placing multiple buy and sell orders at different price intervals may seem profitable but can lead to massive losses during strong market movements and distort normal activity.
Exploiting delayed price feeds or execution gaps to gain guaranteed profits undermines fair trading practices and is banned. At RaiseMyFunds this strategy is considered unethical and is therefore strictly prohibited.
Account rolling refers to a high-risk approach where a trader purchases multiple evaluation accounts, intentionally allowing some to fail while focusing on passing others. This tactic relies on chance instead of trading skill, ignoring essential principles like risk control and proper analysis. It’s more akin to gambling than to structured trading, with success depending on probability rather than discipline.
Why RaiseMyFunds Prohibits Account Rolling ?
RaiseMyFunds is committed to supporting traders who show consistent, disciplined, and sustainable trading behavior. Account rolling undermines the integrity of our evaluation process by circumventing the intended purpose: to evaluate a trader’s ability to manage risk and trade responsibly over time.
The evaluation phase isn’t designed to test how many attempts a trader can take—it’s meant to identify those who demonstrate genuine trading competence. Traders who use account rolling tactics fail to prove real skill and gain an unfair advantage, which is incompatible with the standards of a professional trading environment.
To preserve fairness and transparency, RaiseMyFunds actively monitors account rolling. These rules ensure that only those who build and apply solid, disciplined strategies can advance by maintaining an activity focused on skill, responsibility, and long-term success.
One-sided betting refers to a high-risk trading approach where a trader opens one or multiple positions in the same direction—either all buys or all sells—without properly analyzing market conditions. At RaiseMyFunds, this practice is prohibited due to its speculative nature and the high probability of incurring significant losses.
This strategy typically involves repeatedly buying or selling an instrument while ignoring key factors such as fundamental news, economic data, or technical signals that could indicate future price movements. The absence of sound analysis increases the risk of entering trades with poor risk-reward ratios.
Example: A trader opens 10 small trades—or a single large trade—all in one direction across one or multiple assets. This exposes them to major losses if the market moves against their positions, as the lack of diversification amplifies the downside risk.
Using platform errors (such as data freezes or execution lags) to gain unfair advantages is prohibited.
Traders who engage in such behavior will be subject to investigation, and appropriate measures may be taken, including the removal of access to our demo servers. In the event of any server-related issues, traders are encouraged to promptly report the problem to RaiseMyFunds’ support team.
RaiseMyFunds strictly prohibits the use of any Expert Advisor (EA) or automated trading tool that intentionally conceals the fact that trading activity is being conducted by an automated system.
This deliberate lack of transparency hinders the company’s ability to effectively assess and manage risk. Moreover, such behavior is viewed as a deliberate attempt to deceive and harm the integrity of the platform.
Traders found using hidden automation tools will face immediate action, which may include account termination and a permanent ban from RaiseMyFunds services.
