Are there any prohibited trading techniques?

Yes — but only those that go against fair, responsible, and professional trading.
At SpiceProp, we welcome all genuine trading styles, whether manual or automated, as long as they’re based on skill, analysis, and proper risk management — not luck.

We strictly prohibit any form of gambling-like behavior, including oversized, impulsive, or “all-in” trades that rely on chance rather than strategy.
Our goal is to reward consistency and discipline, not randomness.

For that reason, the following practices are not allowed:

• Martingale or grid systems (increasing position size after losses),

• Overexposure or overleverage (taking trades too large for your account),

• “Lucky shot” trading (making most profits from one oversized position),

• Copy trading from external sources or signal-sharing groups,

• News hedging (opening opposite trades around major news events),

• Feed or latency exploitation,

• High-frequency or tick scalping, and

• Passive trading (very low activity or trades opened for just a few seconds).

You’re free to use your own Expert Advisor (EA), as long as it’s truly your system and not designed to exploit technical delays or platform behavior.

If something unusual appears in your activity, our Risk Department will reach out to review it with you.
We’re not here to punish honest mistakes — we simply ensure that all traders compete on a fair, skill-based, and responsible playing field.
