Prohibited Trading Practices
At BEM Funding, we are looking for genuine individual traders who apply their own strategies and sound risk management across different market conditions. Our programs are designed to support speculative trading while maintaining a fair and realistic simulated trading environment.
However, certain trading practices abuse our systems or contradict the purpose of our programs. These practices are strictly prohibited and constitute a violation of our Terms and Conditions.
These rules apply to all phases, including both evaluation and funded accounts.
The following trading practices are not allowed:
- Arbitrage Trading
Exploiting price discrepancies, latency, or price-feed differences across markets, platforms, or accounts.
- High-Frequency Trading & Tick Scalping
Trading strategies where trades are executed within seconds, often relying on automated tools to capture minimal price movements rather than market structure.
- Bulk or Mass Trading Activity
Opening multiple trades simultaneously or in rapid succession in a manner that indicates automated or non-discretionary execution.
- News Trading Exploitation
Placing or triggering trades around high-impact news events in a way that attempts to benefit from abnormal volatility rather than market analysis.
- Bracketing Strategies
Placing pending buy and sell orders around the market price ahead of major news releases to capture volatility spikes.
- System or Price-Feed Exploitation
Intentionally or unintentionally using platform errors, delayed price updates, or incorrect pricing to gain an unfair advantage.
- Copy Trading & Trade Coordination
Coordinating trades between multiple accounts, copying trades from other traders, or using or providing signal services that result in identical or near-identical trade execution.
- Hedging & Opposing Positions
Opening opposing positions on the same symbol (or highly correlated symbols), either within a single account or across multiple accounts, in a manner intended to manipulate performance metrics or bypass risk limits.
- Gambling or One-Sided Trading Behavior
Trading behavior that resembles gambling, such as oversized positions, repeated one-directional exposure, or attempts to pass an evaluation through a small number of high-risk trades.
- Expert Advisors & Automated Trading Abuse
Using EAs or automated strategies designed for tick scalping, latency arbitrage, rollover-price exploitation, or excessive order activity.
Third-party EAs where the trader does not own the source code or where multiple traders execute identical trades are also prohibited.
- Reverse Arbitrage & Hedge Arbitrage
Simultaneously buying and selling the same instrument across different accounts to exploit temporary pricing inefficiencies.
- Account Sharing or Reselling
Sharing, selling, transferring, or allowing third-party access to any BEM Funding account, whether for trading or non-trading purposes.
- Account Management & Challenge-Passing Services
Using or offering services that trade on behalf of others or guarantee passing an evaluation in exchange for fees or profit-sharing.
- Unrealistic or Non-Replicable Trading Behavior
Trading strategies that cannot reasonably be replicated under real market conditions or that disregard standard risk management practices.
If an account is found to be engaging in prohibited trading practices or abusing the system, BEM Funding reserves the right to take immediate action. This may include trade removal, profit removal, account suspension, termination of agreements, or permanent restriction from our services.
Our goal is to support traders who trade with consistency, discipline, and responsible risk management. If you’re not sure whether a strategy is allowed, just reach out to our support team at [email protected].
