Quick Answer:
Tick scalping – holding trades for less than 2 minutes – is not allowed. Even a single trade closed in under 2 minutes is a violation.
What Is Tick Scalping?
Tick scalping means opening and closing trades very quickly to capture the smallest possible price movements. This strategy is strictly prohibited on all Upcomers accounts.
The 2-Minute Rule
Every trade must be held for at least 2 minutes.
Under 2 minutes = a violation
2 minutes or more = you're safe
No maximum = hold for minutes, hours, days or weeks
The rule applies to every trade, even a single one, including trades closed by Stop Loss or Take Profit.
What Happens If Tick Scalping Is Detected?
Trading activity is reviewed when you request a payout – by the same standard for every trader. Trades held for less than 2 minutes may affect your payout.
