What trading strategies are allowed?

Modified on Sun, 28 Sep at 11:14 AM

To succeed in our Trading Challenge and become a Pivex Funded Trader, your trading strategies must comply with our rules. Understanding which strategies are allowed and which are prohibited is essential to ensure a successful Challenge passing.

Below is a breakdown of the allowed and prohibited strategies to help guide your trading approach during both the Trading Challenge and Pivex Funded Trader stages.

Strategy	Allowed?	Notes	How to Avoid Violating Rules
Scalping	✅ Allowed	Scalping involves making small, quick profits from minor price changes in a short period.	Scaling is allowed, but ultra-fast scalping (within seconds) and tick scalping (where a tick scalper uses automated trading algorithms to scalp ticks on instruments) are prohibited.
News Trading	⚠️ Allowed	Trading based on major news events or economic reports. Profits from high-impact news may be excluded.	Avoid focusing your entire strategy on news-driven volatility and remember that profits from such events may be excluded from the challenge.
Swing Trading	✅ Allowed	Swing trading involves holding positions for several days or weeks to profit from medium-term trends.	This strategy is allowed. Focus on identifying market trends and using proper risk management while holding positions for a longer period.

Why These Rules Matter:
Understanding these strategies and how to work within the established guidelines is crucial for success in the Trading Challenge. At Pivex Funded, we emphasize consistency and responsible risk management rather than relying on high-risk strategies that exploit market volatility. Avoiding prohibited strategies ensures that your trading reflects genuine skill and decision-making, ultimately allowing you to progress to the Funded Trader Stage with real payouts.

By adhering to these rules, you demonstrate your ability to handle real market situations responsibly, which is key to becoming a successful trader at Pivex Funded.
