1. What is the 2-minute holding rule?
At Leveraged, every trade must remain open for at least two (2) minutes from the time of execution. This means traders cannot open and close a position within seconds to capture only minor price movements or exploit system behavior.
2. Why does Leveraged have this rule?
The rule exists to ensure that all trading activity reflects genuine speculative intent rather than tick scalping or latency-based exploitation. Short, repetitive trades that last only a few seconds do not represent authentic market speculation and can distort the trading environment for others.
The 2-minute minimum helps maintain fairness, liquidity stability, and data integrity across all funded and evaluation accounts.
3. What happens if I close trades before 2 minutes?
Occasional exceptions may occur due to volatile market conditions, sudden price spikes, or manual error. These will generally be tolerated.
However, if a trader frequently closes trades under 2 minutes, the activity will be flagged for review by the Risk Team. Repeated violations may result in termination of the account.
