Do you allow HFT (High-Frequency Trading)?

No, HFT (High-Frequency Trading) strategies are not allowed at Pivex.

HFT involves placing a large number of trades within very short timeframes, often opening and closing positions within seconds to profit from tiny market fluctuations. These approaches typically bypass thoughtful market analysis and rely on execution speed rather than strategy.

At Pivex, we aim to promote consistent and responsible trading behavior. HFT does not reflect sustainable trading or real risk management, which is why it is strictly prohibited across both the Trading Challenge and the Pivex Traders stage.

We monitor for activity patterns that may resemble HFT—such as high trade frequency with minimal holding time and micro-level price movements—and reserve the right to disqualify accounts engaged in such practices.

Our goal is to support traders who focus on skill-based, well-structured strategies grounded in technical or fundamental analysis. If you’re unsure whether your method may be classified as HFT, please reach out to our support team for clarification.
