Top One Futures

If a funded trader violates the news rule:

• Profits generated from the violating trade may be removed

The payout request may be denied

• The account may be flagged for review
• Repeated violations may lead to stricter action
• News violations do not automatically result in a hard breach unless abuse is detected

Minimum Trade Duration (10-Second Rule)

• To protect against ultra-high-frequency scalping and promote responsible trading:
• All trades must remain open longer than 10 seconds
• 10.00 seconds = violation, 10.01 seconds = acceptable
• Closing any portion of a trade before 10 seconds violates this rule
• Adding to a trade (e.g., scaling in) within 10 seconds is permitted
• Occasional minor violations are tolerable, but if:
• Anywhere close to 50% or more of your total and/or withdrawable profits
• OR, anywhere close to 50% or more of your individual trades
• violate this rule, all profits associated with these trades will be removed
• Trading That Risks Broker Relationships
• Trading strategies or behaviors that may harm our broker relationships—such as abnormal flow, slippage targeting, or mass quote stuffing—are grounds for account closure
• Trading That May Create Regulatory Concerns
• Any activity that could cause regulatory exposure for Top One Futures or our liquidity partners is not tolerated
• Externally Marketed Challenge-Passing Strategies
• Using any publicly available or purchased system advertised to help traders "pass challenges" is not allowed
• All strategies must be developed and executed by the trader
• Rolling, Churning, or Gambling Accounts
• Creating multiple evaluation accounts in a short period and using a batch-style approach, such as intentionally letting most accounts fail while focusing on passing just one, is strictly prohibited
• Excessive account creation within a short timeframe, especially when done repeatedly, is considered manipulative and will be flagged by our systems
• We do not support gambling behavior
• This includes consistently breaching accounts within 24–48 hours of purchase and then immediately repurchasing new accounts, indicative of toxic trading strategies
• Such actions are not indicative of consistency or skill but instead reflect reckless trading strategies intended to exploit asymmetric risk at scale
• Traders engaging in this type of behavior are not aligned with our long-term vision and may be permanently disqualified
• Examples of disqualifiable churning behavior:
• Purchasing multiple batch accounts and breaching newly purchased accounts within 1–2 days of trading and repeating the cycle
• Example Day 1: Trader purchased 9 accounts, all breached within 24 hours
• Example Day 2: Trader purchased 7 more accounts, again all breached within 24 hours
• This shows no sustainable risk management or strategy and instead indicates a trial-and-error "gambling" style of trading
• Attempting to maximize short-term sim funded payout potential through unsustainable trading approaches
