One-sided bets are a trading strategy where a trader consistently opens positions in the same direction, either across their entire account or on a specific asset, disregarding market conditions, analysis, or technical signals.
This behavior demonstrates a lack of balanced trading judgment and is considered a violation of fair trading practices.
Examples:
A trader who always takes long positions on a single instrument (e.g., only BUY trades on XAUUSD) regardless of market conditions.
A trader who, across multiple instruments, consistently opens positions in one direction (e.g., BUY-only trades on all assets).
Traders are expected to demonstrate the ability to adapt to market movements and to take both long and short positions when justified by market conditions.
Persistent one-directional exposure, whether on a single symbol or across the entire portfolio, will be considered a breach of Upcomers’ trading rules.
