All trades must be held for at least 10 seconds.
Microscalping refers to executing trades with the intent of capturing small profits from minimal price movements—typically just a few ticks or points—within a very short time frame.
High frequency scalping strateges can be disruptive to liquididty providers, and take advantage of the way the demo market is structured (for example latency arbitrage stratgeies)
Frontline wants to ensure that the trading performance of the trader can be replicated in the live market enviroment.
Requirements
To pass the microscalping rule, you must meet both of the following criteria:
Over 50% of your trades must be held longer than 10 seconds
Over 50% of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds
What happens if I don't meet the criteria?
Failing to meet both criteria will result in the loss of your evalaution and funded account. It may also lead to a permenant ban from Frontline.
This rule helps ensure your trading strategy is a genuine, viable strategy, and helps protect the integrity of the program.
