Account Rules
Risk Policy
Our risk management policy promotes responsible trading for long-term success. There is a common misconception that links trading in financial markets to gambling, often due to the behavior of certain traders. To maintain the integrity of our trading community, we must address these tendencies. Some traders, drawn by the allure of quick profits, may adopt high-risk strategies that reduce their chances of success. While risks are inherent in trading, it’s important to differentiate between responsible trading and gambling. At Neg Market, we are committed to safeguarding traders and supporting those who trade responsibly. If we suspect a trader is using our platform for gambling, we reserve the right to take action, such as adjusting leverage or earnings. These actions will be carefully considered by our risk management team.
All in with full margin
It is a considered a red flag to use 3/4 or more of your margin on a single trade. Such high-risk behavior is considered reckless and resembles gambling rather than strategic trading. To ensure responsible practices, traders must assess their risk appropriately and avoid committing excessive margin to a single position, as this could lead to significant losses and account scrutiny by compliance.
One trade win
It is a considered a red flag to pass the trading challenge with just one trade. Doing so suggests an over-reliance on a single high-risk position, which contradicts our principles of responsible trading and risk management. To pass the challenge, traders must demonstrate consistent, strategic trading practices over time, rather than relying on one trade for success. Compliance will review accounts that attempt to pass in this manner to ensure adherence to these standards.
At Neg Markets, we boast a more lenient approach to trading regulations. There are no undisclosed consistency rules or restrictions on lot sizes, yet we insist that all traders follow our news trading guideline and refrain from gambling. It is important not to stake the entire margin on a single trade, as this would be viewed as gambling by our compliance team. It is crucial to assess the risk appropriately based on the trader’s account size and lot sizing. If a trader initially begins with one lot but then starts using 30 lots, compliance may scrutinize the account. We expect traders to handle our trading accounts with the same prudence as their personal accounts to avoid any gambling practices.
