At all levels of the WeMasterTrade program, there are some behaviors that traders are prohibited from doing and others that traders need to notify WeMasterTrade about. This is to maintain the integrity of our program as well as the integrity of the Virtual demo environment.

WHY DOES WEMASTERTRADE HAVE PROHIBITED CONDUCT?

Prohibited Conduct exists to deter gambling behaviors, prevent circumvention of the rules, and get unrealistic fills on their orders. The Trading Combine® emulates live-market trading, and we would not be doing the right thing for traders if we allowed them to pass in a manner that would not be successful in a live market.

There are two main categories of Prohibited Conduct; behaviors that traders are prohibited from doing or behaviors that traders need to notify WeMasterTrade about.

Potential actions taken in response to a violation of our Prohibited Conduct include:

  • A simple warning

  • Deletion of the impacted trading day

  • A reset of your account

  • The permanent closure of your account

Prohibited Conduct violations will NOT result in a fee to reset your account. Ultimately, the action WeMasterTrade takes will depend on the infraction’s severity and your prior history (or lack thereof).

Consequences of Violating Rules:

  • Violation of these rules may result in denial of withdrawal requests.

  • Termination of participation in the program.

  • Forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company.

  • Review of trading activities before granting a funded account; any detected prohibited trading will result in disqualification from receiving the funded account.

If you violate these rules, your withdrawal request may be denied. If the Company detects that your trading constitutes Prohibited Trading, your participation in the program will be terminated and may include forfeiture of any fees paid to the Company. Additionally, and before any Trader shall receive a funded account, the trading activity of the Trader under these Terms and Conditions shall be reviewed by both the Company and the Broker to determine whether such trading activity constitutes Prohibited Trading. In the case of Prohibited Trading, the Trader shall not receive a funded account.

Products may be traded during normal electronic trading hours unless otherwise indicated. The Daily Loss Limit is an objective for your account and, if broken, does not count as a rule violation. If the Net P&L should hit or exceed the Daily Loss Limit during the trading day – access to this link to learn more about trading hours and symbols, the account will hit a soft breach and will be auto-liquidated for the remainder of the then-current trading session. This means any open trading positions will be flattened, any pending orders will be canceled, and your account will be prevented from placing any new trades until your buy a new package.
