IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS NONE OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE PROVIDER SHALL BE CONSIDERED AN INVESTMENT SERVICE.
The Provider does not offer investment advice or recommendations. No information made available by Star Funded should be interpreted as guidance, instructions, or encouragement to conduct transactions. The Provider does not accept investment advice requests from the Client. Employees, representatives, and partners of Star Funded are not authorized to provide investment recommendations. If any statement made by an employee or representative of the Provider is perceived as investment advice, Star Funded expressly disclaims any liability in this regard.

The Client must pay the registration fees to access the platform, trading simulation tools, and services offered by Star Funded.

ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL AND STRICTLY FOR THE EVALUATION.
By accepting these terms of use, the Client affirms that they have reached the legal age required in their country or region of residence.

The Client acknowledges that the services and content provided are made available "as is," with any potential imperfections or technical errors associated. The Client assumes full responsibility for their use. Although the Provider strives to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the information, it recognizes the inherent limitations of technology and online systems. Therefore, the Client accepts these potential limitations and understands that the use of the services must be conducted with these aspects in mind.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

In the event of a modification or cancellation of an order, the Provider will make reasonable efforts to inform the Client via the email address, billing address, or phone number provided at the time of the order. The Provider also reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order that, in its assessment, appears to have been placed by distributors, resellers, or any other entity operating for resale purposes.
The Client agrees to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information regarding their purchases and account. They are required to promptly update this information, including their email address, credit card numbers, and expiration dates, to ensure proper transaction processing and to allow the Provider to contact them if necessary.
For any withdrawal request, processing fees are applied to cover transaction costs imposed by payment providers. These fees are defined by these providers and may include:
These fees apply regardless of the withdrawal amount and may vary depending on the payment provider and market conditions.

Before making a purchase or using a third-party service, the Client should review and understand the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy of the third party involved. Any complaint, claim, or question regarding third-party products or services must be directed to those parties, as the Provider cannot be held responsible for any damages or inconveniences resulting from these interactions.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that any comments, reviews, or contributions submitted to the Provider, whether through the website, email, postal mail, or any other means, may be used, modified, copied, published, distributed, or translated by the Provider without restriction and without obligation for compensation or response.
The Provider reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor, modify, or remove any content submitted by users if it deems, in its sole discretion, that such content is inappropriate, offensive, defamatory, illegal, obscene, violates third-party intellectual property rights, or breaches these terms of use.
The Client guarantees that their contributions do not violate any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, or any other personal or intellectual property rights. They also agree not to publish content containing defamatory, illegal, abusive, obscene elements, or infected with computer viruses or any other harmful programs that could affect the integrity of the Provider's services.
The Client must not use a false identity, impersonate a third party, or mislead regarding the origin of the comments submitted. They assume full responsibility for the reviews and comments they publish and guarantee their accuracy. The Provider cannot be held responsible for statements made by Clients or third parties on the platform.
In this agreement, both parties commit to adopting respectful behavior in accordance with principles of fairness. Any action that harms the reputation or legitimate interests of either party is strictly prohibited.

Any personal information submitted via the Provider's site is collected, stored, and processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect. The Client is encouraged to review this policy to understand how their data is used and protected.
Star funded implements strict procedures in compliance with applicable regulations regarding customer identification (KYC), customer due diligence (CDD), and enhanced due diligence (EDD). These procedures aim to ensure reliable customer identification, prevent money laundering, and monitor activities to ensure compliance with legal requirements and industry best practices.
The KYC measures implemented by Star funded aim to:
Only the account holder is authorized to perform the KYC verification process. Any attempt at verification by multiple individuals for the same account is strictly prohibited. In case of non-compliance, Star funded reserves the right to suspend or close the account immediately.
Customer due diligence is a mandatory step for establishing and maintaining a relationship with the client. To this end, Star funded implements the following measures:
When certain transactions or business relationships present a high level of risk, Star funded implements enhanced vigilance measures, which include:
Star funded applies rigorous verification procedures to ensure transparency and reliability in the client identification process:
Expired or altered documents will not be accepted for verification. Only valid documents will be considered.
After submitting the required documents, the client must complete the electronic signature step of the contract by providing their full name and address. Once these steps are finalized, the verification begins and may require a delay of 48 to 72 hours.
11.5.6. Strict adherence to these steps is imperative. Star funded reserves the right to refuse or terminate any business relationship with a client who does not meet the CDD, EDD, or KYC compliance criteria.
11.5.7. If the KYC verification process fails, the opening of the Star funded account will be automatically rejected.
There may be instances where certain information displayed on the site or in Star funded services contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. These may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping fees, delivery times, and service availability.
Star funded reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, as well as to modify or update information, or to cancel orders if necessary, at any time and without prior notice (including after a client has validated an order).
The provider is not obligated to update, modify, or clarify the information contained in the service or on any related website, including, but not limited to, pricing information, unless required by law. The absence of a specific update date on the site should not be interpreted as an indication that all information in the service or on a related website has been updated or modified.
If the client notices a discrepancy or anomaly in the service, particularly regarding their account details, transactions, or service features, they are required to inform Star funded immediately so that appropriate corrective measures can be implemented.
Clients can contact Star funded for any assistance and to report anomalies via the live chat available on the site dashboard or by sending an email to contact@starfunded.com. To ensure effective resolution of technical issues related to transactions, clients must report any incidents within three (3) weeks of their occurrence. Prompt reporting helps maintain the integrity of the service and ensures an optimal user experience.
It is strictly prohibited to use the site or its content for:
Star funded reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the services immediately in the event of a violation of these restrictions.
Star funded does not provide its services or products to countries subject to economic and financial sanctions imposed by the United States, the United Nations, and other international regulatory bodies.

Additionally, Star funded has suspended its services for clients based in the United States, including American citizens and residents, due to regulatory requirements specific to the U.S. market. However, all existing clients will continue to receive services as usual.

14.1.5. Any form of arbitrage is prohibited, including but not limited to triangular, statistical, latency, market-making, volatility, dividend, tax, and yield curve arbitrage.
14.1.6. The Client must not use strategies that guarantee the execution of limit orders during periods of low liquidity, as these practices do not reflect actual market conditions.
14.1.7. Engaging in transactions that do not align with standard practices in the foreign exchange market or any other financial market is prohibited. The Client must also avoid any activity that could financially harm Star funded, such as overexposure, excessive leverage, unilateral betting, Grid Trading, Tick Scalping, or Account Rolling.

14.2.3. In the event of inconsistencies in trading behavior, such as significant deviations from the Client's historical habits or standard market practices.
14.2.4. When the Client's trading activities risk causing financial losses or operational disruptions for Star funded or third parties.
14.2.5. To ensure compliance with applicable regulations, operational protocols, and internal policies aimed at maintaining a secure trading environment.
To ensure transparency and effective management of trading practices, Star funded will adopt the following measures in the event of imposing restrictions or modifications to accounts:
14.3.1. Star funded will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client of any restrictions or modifications to their account, explaining the reasons for this decision. However, in cases where immediate action is necessary to protect the integrity of the platform, restrictions may be applied without prior notice.
14.3.2. The Client will have the opportunity to contest a restriction imposed on their account. Star funded will review each request on a case-by-case basis but reserves the right to maintain its decision to preserve the stability of its trading environment.
14.3.3. Star funded cannot be held liable for direct, indirect, or consequential losses resulting from the imposition of restrictions or account termination. The Client agrees to indemnify Star funded from any liability regarding these actions.

No refunds will be granted for fees paid by the Client in this case.
If a Client repeatedly violates the rules of Section 14.1, and Star funded has already warned them, the company may:
Star funded disclaims any responsibility for trading or investment activities conducted outside of its platform, even if based on data from the dashboard, trading platform, or any other related service. This also includes any third-party service used by the Client via the platform. Star funded assumes no liability for losses or damages related to the use of external services.
Star funded does not guarantee that the Client's use of the services will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or timely. The Provider does not guarantee that the results obtained from the use of the services will be accurate or reliable.
The Client acknowledges that Star funded reserves the right to temporarily or permanently suspend a service at any time, with or without notice. By using the services, the Client expressly agrees that their use or inability to use the services is at their own risk.
The services and all products provided by Star funded are made available "as is" and "as available," without any express or implied warranty, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.
In no event shall Star funded, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, suppliers, service providers, or licensors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential loss or damage, including, but not limited to:
Whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. This includes any loss or damage resulting from:
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for indirect or incidental damages; in such cases, Star funded' liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Star funded, as well as its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, directors, officers, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, and employees, from any claims or demands made by a third party due to:
The indemnification includes, but is not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and legal costs incurred by Star funded in defending against these claims.
If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will still be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any unenforceable part of these Terms will be considered severed from the rest of the Terms, without affecting the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Obligations and responsibilities incurred prior to the termination date will survive termination of this agreement for all purposes. These Terms of Service remain in effect until terminated by the Client or Star funded.
The Client may terminate these Terms at any time by notifying Star funded that they no longer wish to use the services or by ceasing to use the platform.
Star funded may terminate this agreement at any time and without notice if, in its sole judgment, the Client fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of these Terms. Upon termination, the Client remains liable for all amounts due up to and including the termination date, and Star funded may deny them access to the services.
The Client must adhere to the following trading guidelines. Unless a guideline expressly provides otherwise — in particular the consistency rule in clause 18.1.6, which affects payout eligibility only — any failure to comply will result in account termination:
18.1.1. Daily Loss Limits
The Client must not exceed the specified daily loss percentage relative to the initial account size, including fees and swaps:
18.1.2. Overall Loss Limits
The account balance must not fall below the specified percentage of the initial cycle size, including all positions and fees:
18.1.3. Minimum Trading Days Requirement
This requirement applies to each phase and to every payout request: at least 5 trading days must have been completed within the payout cycle concerned. A trading day is a day on which at least one position is opened or closed.
18.1.4. Trading Conditions During News Events
2 Step Account: Trading during news events is allowed outside the restricted window, at all stages (evaluation and funded). No position may be opened, modified, or closed within 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after a 3-star high-impact news event; a position opened before that window may be kept open through the announcement. Any violation of this restriction will result in immediate account termination.
1 Step Account: Trading during news events is allowed outside the restricted window, at all stages (evaluation and funded). No position may be opened, modified, or closed within 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after a 3-star high-impact news event; a position opened before that window may be kept open through the announcement. Any violation of this restriction will result in immediate account termination.
This window applies to Challenge accounts (1 Step and 2 Step) only. Instant Funding accounts are subject to the stricter restriction set out in clause 26.1.10.
18.1.5. Holding Positions Over the Weekend
18.1.6. Consistency Rule
All accounts must adhere to a 45% consistency rule: no single trading day may represent more than 45% of the total profit generated over the challenge and the funded period.
The consistency rule does not cause the account to be terminated: an account that does not comply remains active and the Client may continue trading. For as long as the rule is not met, the Client is simply not eligible for a payout; payouts become available again as soon as no single trading day represents more than 45% of the total profit generated.
18.1.7. Exploiting Technical Failures
Any use of system failures to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited and may result in immediate account suspension.
18.1.8. Position Hedging
Multiple hedges are only allowed within the same Star funded account. Cross-account hedging or hedging with other companies is not permitted.
18.1.9. Modifications by Add-ons and Special Offers
Selected add-ons and special offers during the challenge may modify the trading rules in this section. These modifications take precedence over standard rules for their duration.
In case of violation of any of these restrictions, Star funded reserves the right to immediately close all open positions, ban the client's account, and terminate this contract without refund.
18.1.10. Risk Control Mechanism
All positions must include a stop loss, set at the moment the position is opened and kept active for as long as the position remains open, so that potential losses are capped. Trades that expose the account to unlimited downside or violate basic risk containment principles may result in disqualification from the evaluation or denial of any profit payout.
18.1.11. Daily Maximum Trading Volume Limit
To preserve the stability of the trading environment and ensure fair use of the Services, a daily trading volume limit applies to all funded accounts, including Instant Funding accounts governed by Article 26. The total volume traded within a calendar day (including all instruments and all positions opened, closed, partially closed, or modified during that day, expressed in lots) must not, under any circumstances, exceed a maximum daily volume of 30 lots, unless otherwise specified on the Client's dashboard or in the account description at the time of purchase.
This volume limit includes, without limitation:
Star Funded reserves the right to adjust the maximum daily trading volume based on account type, account size, or market conditions. Any such modification will take effect once published on the Website or in the Client's dashboard.
Exceeding the daily maximum trading volume constitutes a violation of these trading guidelines and may result, at Star Funded's sole discretion, in:
18.1.12. Profit Targets
The profit target is measured on the initial account size of the phase concerned:
Once the target is reached and every other guideline in this section has been respected, the account moves to the next phase or to the funded stage.
18.1.13. Maximum Risk Per Trade
No single position may risk more than 1% of the initial account size. The risk is measured when the position is opened, from the distance between the entry price and the stop loss required under clause 18.1.10, and this limit applies to every account type and every phase, including the funded stage.
18.1.14. Trading Period and Inactivity
There is no time limit to complete a phase or to trade a funded account: the trading period is unlimited.
The account must nevertheless remain active. If no position is opened for 30 consecutive calendar days, the account is considered inactive: access is suspended and the account may be terminated without refund. Reactivation, where Star funded agrees to it, is governed by clause 19.4.
18.1.15. Profit Split
The standard profit split on a funded account is 70% in favour of the Client. A 90% profit split is available as a paid upgrade at checkout. The split selected at the time of purchase applies for the entire duration of the account.
18.1.16. Payouts
Payouts follow a 30-day cycle: the Client may request a payout every 30 days, provided the minimum trading days requirement in clause 18.1.3 is met and no guideline in this section has been breached. A 14-day payout cycle is available as a paid upgrade at checkout.
Any payout request is subject to the KYC procedures described in Section 11.
18.1.17. Reference Time
All times, deadlines and day boundaries in this section are expressed in the trading server time of the platform. Daily counters — the daily loss limit in clause 18.1.1, the daily volume limit in clause 18.1.11 and the trading days in clause 18.1.3 — reset at 00:00 server time, a trading day being a calendar day on the server. The news window in clause 18.1.4 is measured against the scheduled release time of the announcement, expressed in server time.
A client wishing to terminate their Star funded account must send a request to contact@starfunded.com. This request constitutes a desire to end the contractual relationship, resulting in the loss of access to all services, including the client area and trading platform.
The Provider will confirm receipt of the request via email, officially terminating the contract. In these circumstances, no refund will be granted.
In the event of serious violations of the terms of use, including prohibited trading practices, Star funded reserves the right to immediately restrict access to services and close the client's account without compensation. This suspension may take effect without prior notice, and no refund will be issued for fees paid in these situations.
Once the registration fees for the Star funded Challenge are paid, the client will receive their login credentials. By executing their first transaction, they automatically waive their right of withdrawal and acknowledge that the Provider has begun providing services.
If a client has not opened any position in their Star funded account for 30 consecutive calendar days, the account is considered inactive under clauses 18.1.14 and 26.1.12 and their access will be suspended.
If the client wishes to renew access to their account after this period of inactivity, they will be required to pay 50% of the original account fees. For any renewal requests, the client must contact support via WhatsApp. Renewal will be subject to applicable terms and conditions and approval by Star funded.
In the event of abusive contestation of fees or chargebacks, Star funded reserves the right to terminate the client's services and deny any future access at its discretion.
Once the registration is completed and payment is confirmed, no refunds will be issued, either in full or in part.
Upon confirmation of payment, the client is granted immediate access to confidential account credentials and digital services, which are considered fully delivered at the time of access.
In accordance with applicable consumer protection laws regarding the supply of digital content, the right of withdrawal is waived once the service has begun with the client's express consent.
By registering, the client expressly acknowledges that:
This policy is in place to protect the integrity of the services and prevent misuse of account access provided by Star funded.
In the event of a transaction dispute by the client, the associated trading account will be suspended in accordance with our terms and conditions. Star funded reserves the right to permanently ban any client who raises a false dispute. A false dispute is an abusive contestation of a transaction when services have been properly provided.
To reactivate an account suspended due to a dispute, the client must first cancel their dispute and provide official proof of the dispute withdrawal. The verification and reactivation process may take between 45 and 60 business days.
Clients are encouraged to contact our support before initiating a dispute to find a quicker solution. For any questions or assistance, the client can contact our team via the live chat on the site or by email at contact@starfunded.com.
The failure of Star funded to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
These Terms and Conditions, along with all policies and rules published on the site, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between the Client and Star funded. This agreement supersedes any prior communication, proposal, or agreement, whether oral or written.
Any ambiguity in the interpretation of this agreement will be resolved neutrally and will not be automatically interpreted against either party. This provision does not affect the Client's legal rights under applicable consumer protection laws.
These terms, as well as any additional agreement under which Star funded provides services to the client, are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the jurisdiction of the client.
The client agrees to comply with all applicable local laws and regulations regarding their participation in the Star funded Challenge.
The client acknowledges:
Any violation of local laws is solely the responsibility of the client.
Star funded reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. These modifications will take effect immediately for new clients and for new orders placed by existing clients.
Clients are encouraged to regularly review the Terms of Service to stay informed of any updates.

These Star Funded Instant Funding (Private Access) account Terms govern your participation in the Star Funded Instant Funding (Private Access) account program offered by Star Funded, a brand of STAR FINANCE LTD (Company No. 17050924), with its registered office at 86-90 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NE, United Kingdom. Our payment providers process payments.
By entering the program, you (the Client) agree to be bound by these Terms at the moment of purchase. If you do not accept them, you are not eligible.
26.1.1 Program overview: The program provides immediate access to a simulated funded trading account without passing a Challenge or an Evaluation Phase. Details are provided upon registration.
26.1.2 Trading guidelines: The Client must comply with the guidelines below; unless a guideline expressly provides otherwise — in particular the consistency rule in clause 26.1.7, which affects payout eligibility only — failure to comply may result in termination of the account.
26.1.3 Profit target: A profit target of 1% of the initial balance applies to the Instant account. The target must be reached before a first payout may be requested; it is not an evaluation phase and no time limit applies to reaching it.
26.1.4 Maximum loss limit (6% trailing drawdown): The account is subject to a 6% Maximum Trailing Drawdown: a fixed safety cushion equal to 6% of the initial balance, which follows the highest level reached on the account. Account equity must not at any time fall below the highest equity level ever reached (high-water mark, measured in real time and including open positions, fees and swaps) minus 6% of the initial balance. The floor starts at 94% of the initial balance, rises dollar for dollar with every new equity high and never moves back down; after a payout, the high-water mark is reset to the account balance recorded immediately after that payout. Example: on a $100,000 account the floor starts at $94,000; when equity reaches $105,000 the floor rises to $99,000, and to $104,000 when equity reaches $110,000 — the Client can never lose more than $6,000 from the highest point reached. Failure to comply results in immediate termination.
26.1.5 Maximum daily loss: On any given trading day, the Client's losses must not exceed 4% of the initial balance (including fees and swaps). Failure to comply results in immediate termination.
26.1.6 Maximum risk per trade: No single position may risk more than 1% of the initial balance, measured when the position is opened from the distance between the entry price and the stop loss required under clause 26.1.9.
26.1.7 Consistency rule: No single trading day may represent more than 20% of the total profit generated on the account. This rule does not cause the account to be terminated: the account remains active and the Client may continue trading, but no payout may be requested for as long as the rule is not met. Payouts become available again as soon as no single trading day represents more than 20% of the total profit generated.
26.1.8 Minimum trading days: At least 5 trading days must have been completed before each payout request, within the payout cycle concerned. A trading day is a day on which at least one position is opened or closed.
26.1.9 Stop loss: Every position must include a stop loss, set at the moment the position is opened and kept active for as long as the position remains open. Positions left without a stop loss may result in termination of the account.
26.1.10 Trading during news events: Trading during high-impact economic announcements is prohibited on Instant Funding accounts, which are subject to a stricter restriction than the Challenge accounts governed by clause 18.1.4. No position may be open, opened, modified or closed at the time of a 3-star high-impact economic announcement: any position opened beforehand must be closed before the announcement is released, and no new position may be opened until it has been published. Failure to comply may result in the cancellation of the trades concerned, refusal of the payout, or termination of the account.
26.1.11 Weekend positions: Holding positions over the weekend is prohibited. All positions must be closed before the weekly market close.
26.1.12 Trading period and inactivity: The trading period is unlimited. The account must nevertheless remain active: if no position is opened for 30 consecutive calendar days, the account is considered inactive: access is suspended and the account may be terminated without refund, reactivation being governed by clause 19.4. Clause 26.4.4 separately governs accounts that are never activated after purchase.
26.1.13 Profit split: The standard profit split is 70% in favour of the Client. A 90% profit split is available as a paid upgrade at checkout. The split selected at the time of purchase applies for the entire duration of the account.
26.1.14 Payouts: Payouts follow a 30-day cycle: the Client may request a payout every 30 days, provided the profit target in clause 26.1.3, the minimum trading days in clause 26.1.8 and every other guideline in this section are met. A 14-day payout cycle is available as a paid upgrade at checkout. Any payout request is subject to the KYC procedures described in clause 26.3.
26.1.15 Hedging: Hedging within a single Instant account is permitted; hedging across different accounts or with external companies is strictly prohibited.
26.1.16 Exploitation of technical faults: The use of system faults is prohibited and may result in immediate suspension.
26.1.17 Applicable rules: The terms of the FAQ/Rules govern the Instant account.
26.1.18 Modification by add-ons and special offers: Add-ons and special offers may modify the guidelines; such modifications prevail for their duration.
26.1.19 Daily maximum trading volume: The daily volume limit set out in clause 18.1.11 — a maximum of 30 lots traded per calendar day, unless otherwise specified on the Client's dashboard or in the account description at the time of purchase — applies to Instant Funding accounts.
26.1.20 Reference time: All times, deadlines and day boundaries in this section are expressed in the trading server time of the platform. Daily counters — the daily loss limit in clause 26.1.5, the daily volume limit in clause 26.1.19 and the trading days in clause 26.1.8 — reset at 00:00 server time, a trading day being a calendar day on the server. The news restriction in clause 26.1.10 is measured against the scheduled release time of the announcement, expressed in server time.
26.2.1 The Client is prohibited from carrying out transactions that contravene this section or the FAQ.
26.2.2 No strategies that exploit errors in the Services (inaccurate prices, delays), including Latency Trading.
26.2.3 Prohibited: external or slow data feeds, gap trading.

26.2.6 Prohibited: arbitrage of any kind (triangular, statistical, latency, market-making, spatial, pairs, risk, convertible, volatility, dividend, tax, yield curve, etc.).
26.2.7 Prohibited: strategies that guarantee the execution of limit orders in low liquidity (which does not reflect the real market).
26.2.8 Prohibited: transactions inconsistent with the forex and financial markets; avoid over-leverage, over-exposure, one-sided bets, grid trading, tick scalping, account rolling.
26.2.9 Prohibited: copy trading (imitating or replicating other traders) without prior authorization.
26.2.10 Prohibited: having transactions executed by a third party, or allowing access to or trading on the account by a third party.
26.2.11 Prohibited: accessing the account of a third party, trading for a third party, or managing another user's account.
26.2.12 Prohibited: opening positions of sizes significantly larger than the Client's other transactions.
26.2.13 Prohibited: opening a number of positions significantly smaller or larger than usual.
26.2.14 Prohibited: a high margin level or an extremely risky strategy.
