Tick scalping is strictly prohibited on all Upcomers accounts.
It is a trading strategy that involves making very quick trades to profit from small price movements, typically within seconds to minutes.
Traders using this strategy focus on “ticks,” the smallest possible price movement in a financial instrument, and aim to accumulate small profits repeatedly throughout the trading session.
This approach requires a high level of concentration, fast execution, and often involves using leverage.
Positions are typically closed as soon as a small profit target is reached, or exited quickly to minimize losses if the market moves against the trader.
At Upcomers, trades with average holding times below 2 minutes are likely to be considered tick scalping, especially if they consistently aim for minimal price movements.
Such behavior may trigger a violation of our Terms & Conditions (T&C) and result in account termination.
