Restricted trading activities

This policy forms part of the Fintex Markets Terms of Service. You agree to trade in a fair and lawful manner. The following activities are strictly prohibited on the Fintex Markets platform:

• Market manipulation — including wash trading, layering, spoofing, front-running, churning, or any conduct designed to create artificial prices or volumes.
• Abusive trading — including latency arbitrage, quote stuffing, platform exploitation, scalping strategies that abuse price errors or delays, and trading intended to benefit from mispricing rather than genuine market movement.
• Minimum TP/SL distance — placing take-profit or stop-loss orders at distances narrower than 100 points from the entry price, or attempting to bypass those limits by splitting orders, rapid modifications, or other means. We may reject or adjust orders that do not meet the minimum distance.
• Minimum trade duration — opening and closing positions, whether manually or through any automated or copied strategy, within less than 180 seconds of the position being opened. Trades closed before the minimum duration may be rejected, marked as abusive scalping, or excluded from profit calculations.
• Insider trading — trading while in possession of material non-public information that could affect the price of an underlying instrument.
• Cross-account or collusive trading — hedging the same position across multiple accounts (whether owned by you or others), colluding with other clients to distort prices, or operating accounts for the benefit of undisclosed third parties.
• Unauthorized automation — using any script, bot, API, or automated system that is not expressly approved by us, or using approved tools in a way that overloads, disrupts, or unfairly exploits the platform.
• Exploitation of errors — taking advantage of price, system, or data errors, delays, or outages, including refusing to cancel or reverse trades known to be executed at manifestly incorrect prices.
• Bonus, rebate, or referral abuse — including churning deposits and withdrawals to generate credits, commissions, or referral rewards without genuine trading intent.
• Money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud — any activity that conceals the source of funds, involves stolen payment methods, or is intended to deceive us, another client, or a third party.
• Circumvention of controls — using VPNs, proxies, or false identities to evade jurisdictional restrictions, KYC requirements, sanctions, account suspensions, or trading limits.
• Disruptive conduct — any action that interferes with the platform's operation, other users' access, or our ability to provide fair and orderly markets.

Review and account restrictions

If more than 20 trades on an account are flagged as breaching the restricted trading conditions in this policy, the account will be placed under review. During the review, the account and its activity may be temporarily frozen. If the breach is confirmed, the account will be deactivated and trading privileges will be permanently withdrawn; in that case only your net deposits (total approved deposits minus total approved withdrawals) will remain available for withdrawal, and any profits arising from prohibited activity may be cancelled or reversed.

We reserve the right to investigate any account or transaction, request documentation, suspend or terminate access, cancel or reverse profits arising from prohibited activity, void related trades, and withhold withdrawals pending the outcome of our review. Where required by law, we will report suspected misconduct to the relevant authorities. Nothing in this policy limits our rights under the AML policy or applicable regulations.
