Quick Answer:
Trades must be held for a minimum of 2 minutes. There is no upper limit you can hold your trades for as long as you want. Any trade closed in under 2 minutes will be classified as tick scalping, which is a prohibited strategy.
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
The minimum holding time for any trade at Upcomers is 2 minutes.
Under 2 minutes = the trade is classified as tick scalping
2 minutes or more = you're safe
No maximum — hold your trades for minutes, hours, days, or weeks. There is no upper limit.
Every individual trade closed under 2 minutes counts. This is not based on averages or patterns. Each trade is evaluated on its own.
