The following activities are prohibited:
Latency arbitrage or platform exploits — exploiting pricing errors, delays, or system glitches. This includes exploiting the lack of slippage in the simulated environment to achieve unrealistic stop-loss execution (e.g., bracketing data releases to profit from sim fill behaviour that would not occur in live markets), or deploying strategies that exploit latency across data feeds.
Insider trading — using non-public or privileged information
Front-running — trading ahead of orders placed elsewhere
Hedging, Grid trading or Cross-account arbitrage — You cannot hold simultaneous long and short positions in the same instrument to offset risk. This includes:
1.Holding both long and short positions in the same cryptocurrency pair (e.g., going long BTC on one account and short BTC on another) 2.Cross-account hedging between multiple Frontline accounts 3.Group trading or hedging between accounts owned by different users

Uncommercial or unviable strategies — any trading that is inconsistent with how trading is actually performed in live crypto perpetual futures markets, or any pattern that, in Frontline's sole discretion, represents uncommercial activity, is intended to game the market, or poses a risk of financial or other harm to Frontline
