Do you allow swing trading?

Yes, swing trading is fully allowed at Pivex. In fact, it aligns well with our trading philosophy of consistent and responsible trading. Swing trading involves holding positions for several days or even weeks to capitalize on medium-term price movements, and it is supported across all allowed asset classes on our platform, including forex, commodities, and indices.

How Swing Trading Works at Pivex

Our simulated environment with real-time market data enables you to apply swing strategies effectively. You can take positions based on market trends and hold them through expected movements. However, since your positions may be exposed to overnight volatility, gaps, or weekend market fluctuations, it’s important to manage your risk carefully.

Important: Even though swing trading is allowed, your account is still subject to daily and overall drawdown rules. Holding a position too long without protection can lead to violations if the market moves significantly against you. We strongly advise placing Stop-Loss orders to control risk and prevent unexpected breaches due to price gaps or volatility.

Key Guidelines for Swing Traders:

• Use Stop-Loss orders to protect your equity during overnight or weekend gaps.
• Avoid overleveraging, as swing trades left unprotected can accumulate large losses.
• Be mindful of market closures — especially over weekends — and how that may impact price levels when markets reopen.
  

As long as you stay within the risk parameters and avoid prohibited strategies like Martingale, High-Frequency Trading, or grid systems, swing trading can be a great way to generate sustainable profits.
